You know what that means.....

 

Lets get on board with the E3 Hype train! Scalebound and Gears are what I want to hear about but Rares IP unveiling is what I want to see. :)

I don't wanna be too excited but Kamya (Platinum Games) said this is the biggest and most ambitious game they've ever worked on.

That's huge, cause I'm a big Vanquish fan. When it comes to action games, few devs stand there on the fun factor with PG devs.

They're the same group that made Okami, Vanquish, Bayonetta, etc...


Devil May Cry was one of my favorite games growing up and once he left Capcom the franchise was never the same again. The only one that could step in the shadow of the first game was part three. Bayonetta has only gotten better from what i've seen and Vanquish was just utterly fun nonsense. I can't wait to see scalebound as many at Microsoft are pretty hyped about the game from what they've seen.

Rise of the Tomb Raider will cap off the year for the Xbox One as well, while everyone else is struggling for a big exclusive.


i know what you mean.  i wish ps4 had a big exclusive like tomb raider.  luckily for me i have a ps4 so i'll get to play tomb raider anyways.  


So do I, but at least I get my Uncharted fix before Uncharted. Uncharted will hit the PS4 before Tomb Raider does. These deals tend to last at least half a year. Remember what Microsoft did with Bioshock? That was a one year timed exclusivity deal.

I doubt it will do much. Consumers aren't dumb and can easily google search to see how long this killer app is awaited. 

But Xbox team need to show the corporate suits up at microsoft that their console can sell without games, because they'll probably be funded less if they can't sell enough during their 'dry-periods of games' (No major exclusive or system seller since beginning of 2015)

There are many Xbox gamers who have not jumped on board for Halo 5 just yet. Halo MCC might have sold to a couple of people who hadn't played the franchise yet, but Halo 5 will be the draw since a lot of 360 gamers played Halo 4 on the 360.

Halo is the original North American door buster game. Midnight releases started because of it. Halo 5 will sell not only large quantities of games but it will give Microsoft the sales boost they need for the year. MS can't cut price this year so they are lucky Halo 5 will drop in late October.

I think Titanfall got alot of Halo gamers on board. I know a few people who are Halo fans and made the jump then.

Right now Titanfall just solidified that Microsoft is the prime FPS console. The hype died down majorly though. Halo's hype never dies down as fast as Titanfalls did. Halo 5 will kick things up a notch. I will be at midnight launch with my mountain dew and doritos, soaking in the media propaganda. Remember, Halo 5 is the original door buster game. Its the reason there are midnight releases.

What? Titanfall, COD or Battlefield don't mean Halo. They're in a different universe of FPS.

Yes the XB1 is the prime console for FPS games but FPS games are not dominating all other Genres like they did last gen.

Unless Halo 5 is just amazing I think it sells around 7 mil lifetime.

Halo 3 sold over 12 mil

Halo 4 is just under 10 mil (and it had a massive userbase at its launch)

I think Halo 5 continues the downward trend especially since it wont launch to the same userbase that Halo 4 did.
