Sh!tloads of 360's sold. (SUCCESS)

Sh!tloads of copies sold. (SUCCESS)

Greatest FPS of the year. (SUCCESS)

And the death of the Ps3. (SUCCESS)

Overall, expect a success.

r0s3b0wl235237d ago

Success yes, but a quality game? No. It will be like any other Halo game: average but because of marketing and hype it will sell millions. I feel bad for 360 users, they are being bought off by Microsoft's awesome marketing and getting railed by the back like cheap whores but loving every minute of it.

Profit Lost No Games5237d ago

That what the bots said about Halo 3 (MW killed it) & RRODST (Flop of the year, bad scores + ignored by 8 million Halo fans)...

I expect the same things from the old tired milked franchise with a better paint... that it.

Chubear5237d ago (Edited 5237d ago )

Well F U all! lol

I will never forget the 1st 2yrs of the PS3 when you all tried to kill it off. Now, every chance a get to smash your hypocrisy in your face, I will. Halo Reach is yet another thumbed down kiddy shooter with laughable story line fit only for young teens.

F* the 360 fanbase, F* the 360 and F* MS. I won't stop pointing and speaking out to show your vile hypocrisy. I won't stop 'till the 360 base and the 360 die off. F U all, halo is rubbish kiddy garbage. :D

JasonPC360PS3Wii5237d ago

Oh how sad Chubear looks like the Halo Reach graphics made you wet yourself, here take this http://www.kleenex.com clean some of that up before it starts to stink... oh to late.

SaberEdge5237d ago

You're an f-n moron, Chubear. Truly a delusional, lost, sad, pathetic, sheep. You're not a gamer, you're just some loser with a keyboard and an unhealthy hate-filled agenda. Vete a la chingada, pendejo.

Halo Reach looks great and nothing you can say changes a thing.

AngryTypingGuy5236d ago (Edited 5236d ago )

@r0s3b0wl23 - Sorry, but hype and advertising will only carry a series so far. If Halo was lackluster, it wouldn't sell as much as it does, it wouldn't create as much online traffic as it does, and the games wouldn't get as high of scores as they do, period.

LOL at Chubear. Sorry, but words of people on a gaming website won't determine if a console gets killed off. No one tried to "kill off" the PS3. It's a freakin gaming console for crying out loud. Did it get made fun of early on? Yes, but it deserved to. It's originally conceived controller was shaped like a boomerang, it had busts like Lair and Haze, it was extremely overpriced and it had a lack of good games, and the 360 consistently beat it (and still does) when multiconsole games were compared on the two.

Now the PS3 has hit its stride and is doing very well. I suggest you go play it instead of worrying about a console that doesn't matter to you anyway.

Chubear, how is any of that related to this article?
Don't you have games to play on your PS3? If so, why don't you go play them instead of spewing your nonsense all over N4G?

mint royale5237d ago

Man ChuBear is imploding. This is very funny to watch.

Especially seeing as he is talking a load of crap/spam that no one cares or wants to listen to.

Halo Reach looked good but we don't know enough about it yet to comment in depth yet. Wheres this paranoia come from? Is it cos its Halo? Or cos its on the xbox?

Menech5237d ago (Edited 5237d ago )

You sir are need to stay the hell out of 360 thread's no one what's to read your complete and utter tripe. Let the Halo fan's enjoy there articles. There all considerate enough to not spread complete crap like that in threads bout Uncharted 2 and other great PS3 titles. So why on earth are you here talking out of your A-hole?

I mean dam maybe its insecurity for buying a console that's in last place. But you shouldn't feel that way the PS3 is a great system I love it I use it as a media hub and for PS3 exclusives all the time.

Despite what you may think spouting off rubbish like that ain't supporting your beloved Sony, Your giving them a bad name knowing there brand can create completely illogical e-thugs like yourself.

NATAL-FTW5237d ago

first impression from the trailer where not that good but after closer look of the trailer if everything is in game the game looks pretty damn good.

What too expect;
-bigger fights, large/huge open battle fields,
-finally more realistic vegetation, wind animations
-larger versions of pelicans with mounted machine gun and small jetengines,
-more character development/hopefully better story,
-4 player co-op, no master chief?, no more lone wolf/more teamwork.

beans5237d ago (Edited 5237d ago )

I'm willing to bet Reach will have a huge world to explore. Looking forward to seeing game play and hoping it's better than CE .

edit above: I would love a cover system kinda like KZ2.

-Seven-5237d ago

We can expect that badd ass dark and gritty halo game that I've always wanted.

We can expect no lame masterchief, and we can also expect some nice graphics.

We can also expect the story to be that much better due to the fact that it's being modeled around the Fall of Reach book(yes?)

LoLerskates5237d ago

dont worry, hes just mad that even though uncharted 2 won goty no one seems to give two sh!ts after seeing the reach trailer

ZombieNinjaPanda5237d ago

@Menech, ah my friend, I wish you could have seen the Killzone 2 articles. Back when Killzone 2 and Gears 2 were going head to head.

Oh the mud slinging that came from both sides back then.

-Seven-5237d ago

I think it is either a glitch or PS3 fans with multiple accounts are running wild with copy and pasting.

OT: Why it is all graphics 24/7 a day here on N4G. Game A does not look as good as game B.

Please, can we just enjoy games for what they are for once.

SO what if Reach only look a little bit better than Halo 3 at the end, as long it has a good co op campaign, new ideas added to the gamplay, and have the legendary Bungie online support and fun factor.. that is all you can ask for.

Graphics can only take you so far. KZ2 really is having a rough time online ever since MW2 came out and Halo 3 still have tens of thousands of players to play with online even after 2 years upon its release.

I have no doubt Halo Reach can achieve graphics close to the one shown in the trailer.

And like Kurt Angle once said, "That my friend, IT'S TRUE"

Saaking5237d ago

What to expect? I'm hoping we'll seem some big battles during campaign and a more refined multiplayer. Come on Bungie, you can do it!

NATAL-FTW5237d ago

We have already been through this. Killzone 2 trailer did not match up to the final product. Not that the final product was bad, but the trailer did not match up to the gameplay, nor is it supposed to. A lot of people hyped it as in-game. Trailers never look as good as the real thing and Killzone is no different.

Anon19745237d ago (Edited 5237d ago )

From Halo to Halo 2 to Halo 3, what gamers received was more of the same, and there ain't a damn thing wrong with that. I loved all three Halo games but still feel that the first was my favorite. Since then the games have just continued that same story with the same gameplay with tweaked graphics and gamers loved it.

This article is bunk. I can't agree with any of their conclusions based off the video I saw. It's just pure speculation.

Gamers have flocked to Halo three times using the current template, and even bought onto a full priced expansion that only offered 2-3 hours new gameplay. Why on earth would Bungie mess with that?

They wouldn't.

Edit Below: Excuse me? I'm not following. Is there something wrong with the point I brought up? You see, I can't tell considering you didn't actually address what I said, you just attacked me for some reason. Do you have a point? You admit yourself you didn't even read the post. And for the love of god, it's Darkride, like the carnival ride. Learn to read.

Gamers are trying to talk here. Run along.

Cold 20005237d ago (Edited 5237d ago )

"Darkrider66" and without even reading his post I new it would be a stealth troll post lol.

Knock it off dude, you're transparent.

Anyway, what can we expect with Halo Reach ? A N4G meltdown, huge tears from haters and massive anti Halo campaigns ;)

edit: @darkrider, I read your post, I meant to say without reading your post I knew ALREADY what you woukd say, and after reading well, Im not surprised.

@ Chubear

stop chatting S£^%t...

yes I have seen the reach video. yes I think it looks great...

I am a big halo fan, but NO, i will not pay $100 for live.

first of all, lets see if they do try to charge that amount for live anyway..

secondly, you said look at how all the 360 fans are going nutz over reach video and then go and quote me.... find me one comment from myself in any other reach article.

take your hate move to the open zone.

Anon19745237d ago (Edited 5237d ago )

I still don't understand what your issue with my post was. Let's try this again. Maybe I can simplify it for you if you're confused.

Halo sold lots. Excellent game loved by millions, myself included.

Halo 2 came out. Slightly better graphics. But same game pretty much. Nothing wrong with that. Loved and bought by millions. Still played now.

Halo 3 came out. Again, better graphics but similar gameplay. Gamers said "No problem with that! These games are awesome." Sold millions.

Now Halo reach is coming out. Why would Bungie change a damn thing? I don't want them to change anything! I know all I want are new missions, new maps and maybe a bit longer.

Now, that's as simple as I can put it.

Perhaps you didn't understand my original post. If you have a reason why you think Bungie would change things up, by all means tell us. These forums are for gamer debate. I'd love to hear why you think they'd mess with so obviously a winning strategy.

Unless your whole point on these forums is not to actually talk about games but just to belittle other members. If so, knock yourself out. Open Zone is that way -->

Edit: And yet another phantom disagree. Seriously, if you don't speak up, how is anyone to know what you're disagreeing with. Did I miss something? Are my conclusions wrong? Is my reasoning wrong?
Why are some of you so afraid to actually talk to other gamers? That's what these forums are for! If anyone actually wants to talk about what they expect from Halo Reach instead of just acting like jr high kids, maybe real gamers should just make the Open Zone our home for debate and maybe these fanboys will leave us the hell alone there.

Rumor5237d ago

uuuuum........ ahelluvalot! ;)

hate_me5237d ago

old man, I haven't been on n4g for a few months now, but the very first halo thread I read your name just jumped out( like the gfx for REACH) Give it a rest man, all this " I love Halo, but I hate it more" crp was old then and it is still just as old now
on tipic: WOW this game is gonna be awesome

What to expect ?

I don't expect anything ... i just want bungie to list what changes they've made to the gameplay and story and that's it ...

All of you will expect too much and some of you will be disapointed over nothing ...
the others will buy it anyway so ....

5237d ago
hate_me5237d ago

darkride:"The "G" stands for gamers. That's what it's all about. Leave your ridiculous "console wars" out of this."
And that statement comes out of a guys mouth that runs a pro ps3 anti 360 blog-thing...or ran it? You still updating it?

5237d ago
uie4rhig5237d ago

a Halo game where you don't get to play most of the time as Master Chief should not be labelled Halo. besides too many Halo's coming out too quick even though they're not really Halo games (Halo wars anyone? wasn't even developed by Bungie :/).. if any game gets more than 1 game per year, its called miserably milking the game..

THE MAX SPEED 215238d ago (Edited 5238d ago )

I expect it to ge great but I also expect a better game with better graphics and better everything than Halo 3 X odst. Give me that and I'll hop on the Halo Train because I've never been a fan.

Mike134nl5237d ago (Edited 5237d ago )

maxcer5237d ago

one thing i got from the trailer was "this our new No.6?" so i'm thinking 6player co-op?

Mista T5237d ago

hopefully Halo doesn't lose its colors because in the trailer I only saw darkish grayish colors.

can't wait for the beta though

Chubear5237d ago

You're going to be disappointed cause they definitely toned down the rainbow colour scheme significantly.

Lou Ferrigno5237d ago

pfft aww man :(

Go go power rangers!

Chubear5237d ago

Reach will still have Purple, Green, Blue and Pink armour just not as ..erm, fruity.

shinoff2183472d ago

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion471d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad471d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90471d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183471d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90471d ago (Edited 471d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde471d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90470d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde470d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator471d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13471d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183470d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken556d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar556d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos555d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP556d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken556d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149556d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE556d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341556d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90555d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos555d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90555d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai555d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
