I have one crazy idea. What if xbox was a console instead of a damn tv? : D

Enemy4000d ago

TVs have screens. It's a cable box.

Tv.....TV TV TV TEEVEE TEVE TV TV TV TV HALO TV

kayoss4000d ago (Edited 4000d ago )

It's not a cable box... I don't think. I think it's a box that connects to a cable box that connects to the tv that connect to the kinect that connect to your cable outlet, then you connect the Internet to... Wait now I'm confused. Did I mention it connect to the kinect?
I thought it was a gaming console? Or is it a big black coffee table with a slot to put your magazine?

M-M4000d ago

That sentence alone worries me.

Mario184000d ago

Yeah the dramatic impact that no one will buy the console due to the emphasis on TV

Count4000d ago

Because console and TV. They don't go together!

vickers5004000d ago

I'll give it a shot, but honestly, Halo doesn't really seem like the best video game to adapt to TV.

Sarobi4000d ago

I don't want to think about TV, damnit. I watch Youtube videos more than I watch actual shows on my cable box.

Well, 4-Infinite dropped the ball massively so don't worry.

Sgt_Slaughter75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.

FinalFantasyFanatic75d ago

I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.

To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.

Dead IP, time to invent something new.

kaos8975d ago

Maybe they can have ID or one of the COD studios help 343 with this series.

jznrpg75d ago

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
