Forums - Microsoft - Halo wars - wheres the hype for this game, are you looking forward to it!

game will be greate but it's only RTS.Console owners like fast action and comfort.PC players are fan of slow games and a lot of tactics.HW will reach 1mln LTD max.

It is RTS, I hate that genre so that explains why I don't care about it.






I assume the RTS fanbase is small on consoles that's why there isn't much hype...

seems like a good game telling by the videos, but I don't play these type of games, hope people will enjoy it on release...

There is not going to be huge hype for this game. Sales are going to be much less than what people are thinking. If M$ expected it to sell on name alone, they would not be releasing a demo. They never release demos on sure fire hits. Fable 2, Halos, Gears, etc.

Don't make it sound like sells will be shit because they won't. It will sell 3-5 million ww ltd.

My interest, outside of my liking the Halo universe, is to see if an RTS can be pulled off on a console, using a console controller. If it can, that is huge. If not, file it under the large pile of other failed attempts.

well the cc games were ok on consoles, so halo wars should be quite good

...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

I'm hyped for this game, although I might not get it on the day it's released.



I'm looking forward to this game, i love RTSs and Ensemble (SHAME ON YOU MS), it will be interesting to see how they adapt Halo to an strategy game...

And i hope that it ends on PC...



As for the hype, it seems to me like people are taking a cautious "wait and see" approach, at least until after the demo comes out, to see if RTS can actually be done well on a console.

Regarding sales, I see the minimum being around 1M just due to the Halo name, and the top end being around 3M because RTS is a really niche genre on consoles.

 Red = spot on.

As for sales, yeah it will be tuff to reach 3 million, but if it only sells 2 million I think Ensemble's time was wasted making Halo 3 (taking over 3 years)... Had they made an Age of Empire IV instead, it would have sold more and probably made a lot more people happy, including myself.



I was dependent on RTS at one time... but on PC.

so I probably won't get it....

(I still think this is great for console only gamers or newer gamers)
