‘Halo 5′ confirmed as new title, coming in 2014

StickSkills writes, "When Microsoft unveiled a brand new Halo title at E3 this year, the game was simply known as “Halo”. The common thought has been that the game would be called Halo 5, but we heard rumblings that it wouldn’t and 343 Industries seemed to be rather mum regarding the name."

That's a shocker what a surprise! they better deepen the story this time

[CrossingEden]

The story was deepened in Halo 4, 343 had amazing writers compared to Bungie.

[abzdine]

i think they're desperate to show their biggest franchise already and still be beaten by pre-orders numbers in the states.

imagine if Sony already showed Unchartes The Last of Us God of War GT?

[Bigpappy]

@abzdine: Sony's pre-order lead is due ONLY to policy and the perception that it is more powerful. Has nothing to do with their lackluster launch line-up.

I would seriously advise not raising your hopes up too high based on pre-orders from VGChartz. They may not be accurate and,if they are, they are only a small part of predicting final sales numbers.

[GameNameFame]

Is that why they scored 80s on meta?

Let's face it, compared to Bungie, they are no where there.

Bungie scored 90s always on their game. 343 seems to be scoring 80s.

As a fan of Halo for over 10 years, I'm going to have to disagree. IMO the story in Halo 4 was trash. The story should have ended at Halo 3, this ridiculous Forerunner conflict feels so forced it's not even funny, they will never be able to make this story as compelling as the Human/Covenant war was if you had read the books.

[Ritsujun]

Look at that CE 343 fangirl.

[Hooby]

they deepened in then hid it in the terminals which were not even "in" the game, and they were difficult to find even when you went to the separate app that had them.

Terrible.

Halo 5 on Xbox One??

TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!

[Bigpappy]

I find that lots of people, from other console, really can not understand who Master Chief is and what he means to millions of gamers. Halo is one badass Mofo. He is a hero in every since of the word.

When you master chief is coming, you are praying to the gods he is on your side. If you happen to appose him you want to have your best shyt ready, because when he gets there you are going to need it all, and all is still not going to be enough.

If you are only in to sports, then imagine you are play basket ball and your team is down 20 points at the end of the 3rd. Then Michael Jordan from 20 years ago shows up to play for your team. That's Master Chief (The Michael Jordan of war).

[UnholyLight]

^This

[die_fiend]

is embarrassingly over the top

[Ritsujun]

Halo fansissies are disgusting.

[Jazz4108]

Does anyone on here not realize mostly the entire halo bungie main players all work for ms at 343? I have seen some sony lists but everyones forgetting the ps4 big seller OctoDad. Wow.

[Bob570]

No they don't. A few people from Bungie went to 343 but not very many.

[Bigpappy]

The leader of the team was a major player in creating Halo. He love this franchise.

[saywat247]

microsoft and xbox fucking sucks how much longer are they gonna stretch this goddamn fucking series we dont want another fucking halo!!!!!!!

[IcicleTrepan]

What number is killzone on now? :P

[saywat247]

you little nutcase fanboys dont wanna hear the truth. if u guys are fine with the same freaking games over and over so be it. get suck with endless sequels of the same freaking franchise over and over. im just saying real shit. you guys keep this up and you'll never get new ip's just make shit easier for microshit. and for you @icicletrepan killzone is now where near streatched as halo is. how long are they gonna continue to milk halo huh huh???????????

[bganci]

I wish it would be a three year cycle instead of two. Either way it's exciting.

[Foxgod]

This game will be epic, especially considering it will be 1080p and 60fps.
I wonder how many shooters will pull this off this gen.

Hopefully it will be a norm a few years down the line, but it may be possible that only a select few shooters will achieve it.

[iamnsuperman]

Right how do you know others will not? How do you know Halo will? My point is you don't know from this trailer so don't shoot other shooters just yet without seeing them or this. (FYI I am not saying this wont)

edit:

On topic I am a little disappointed the new trailer isn't new footage of sorts but it is nice to see it will be called Halo 5

[Foxgod]

MS and 343 confirmed it will be 1080p and 60 fps

[ziggurcat]

@ foxgod:

MS has "confirmed" a lot of things, but most of it hasn't turned out to be true.

edit: until we all see actual gameplay footage, rather than a cinematic, you can't go by the word of MS or 343.

[QuantumWake]

@ziggurcat

343 at Halo Global Championship confirmed again that Halo for Xbox One will have dedicated servers and 60 FPS.

[abzdine]

that's the problem with xbox fanboys, they believe everything they hear :D

[BlackBeardGames]

@abdzine And your acting like the " sony fanboys" dont suckle every bit of nut from sony they hear? People just need to quit the goddamn console war faggotry. Both consoles need each other. What if you had only sony with a high end game console out. They would do whatever they wanted because no matter what people would buy it because there would be no competition. Contrary to popular beleif sony doesnt love you it loves your money just like microsoft.

And I ecluded nintendo because they arent a console super power like sony and microsoft. They need to stick to handhelds.

[ziggurcat]

"This game will be epic, especially considering it will be 1080p and 60fps."

so far there's not a single game on xbone that is 1080p @ 60fps, so... keep dreaming.

[PraxxtorCruel]

Forza 5 says hello.

[CalamityCB]

Halo was confirmed as 60fps at E3 2013.

[Foxgod]

Actually, that goes for the ps4.
The X1 actually has games coming in full hd 1080p (forza and halo confirmed).

[No_Limit]

Yes, Halo 5! Next year will be big for XB1.

2014:
Project Spark
Titanfall
Quantum Break
Sunset Overdrive
Forza Horizon
Halo 5
Fable Legends
Black Tusk Studios new Ips
Team Osaka new JRPG

And more shall be reveal at E3 next year.

[thetruthx1]

Forza says hello, Killer Instinct says what's up?

[otherZinc]

@ziggurcat,

No, you mean there are ZERO games on the PS4 that are 1080p "native" @60fps! Even Knack isn't 1080p "native" @ 60fps, and it's made by Marc Cerny.

Forza 5 is confirmed to be 1080p "native" @ 60fps!
