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."

imagine if Sony already showed Unchartes The Last of Us God of War GT?
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.
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.
Terrible.
TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!
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).
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.
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
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.
343 at Halo Global Championship confirmed again that Halo for Xbox One will have dedicated servers and 60 FPS.
And I ecluded nintendo because they arent a console super power like sony and microsoft. They need to stick to handhelds.
so far there's not a single game on xbone that is 1080p @ 60fps, so... keep dreaming.
The X1 actually has games coming in full hd 1080p (forza and halo confirmed).
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.
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!
I am hoping for incredible graphics but Microsoft Studios...have they ever really made a stunning looking game?
Making Halo realistic is what's killing it. Halo is meant to be surreal arcade fun. Massive jumps, rockets, banshees, and one m-fer of a pistol is what made Halo 1-3 amazing.
Not. But I do hope its multiplayer isn't casualized garbage like Halo 4's.
It's halo people!!! Give that Damn game a break... Everyone is bragging about it and it's story will probably only be 6 hours long. Lol! The last of us had more story elements then all the Damn halos put together... Maybe if you freaking xbot blood suckers would leave halo alone and leave it some breathing room. It might surprises Us with a 15 hours campaign in 2 or 3 years from now...Instead of a short campaign leaving itself open for an other sequel shortly after..........
Wonder if they are talking about the chip he had around his neck. Cause I assumed that was cortanas dead chip.
There is not ONE franchise that Sony has that touches the clout that Halo brings. 343 has already said it's running at 1080p 60fps. Then the non-believers saying that's impossible when the X1 already has more launch games running 60fps than PS4. Forza is full blown 1080p NATIVE at 60fps.
Then the rumors out there that Halo will be open world with the ability to travel to different planets ala Mass Effect would be put it into the stratosphere.
Let the naysayers and haters spew their garbage about the X1. It has been doing nothing but delivering exactly what Microsoft is promising even at lower specs...which should say something.
Yeah buddy..
<sigh>
Yeah...that should really get this fire churning.
<sarcasm>
"There is not ONE franchise that Sony has that touches the clout that Halo brings."
Halo 3 which released 6 years ago, sold 12 million
Gran Turismo 5 which released a little less than 3 years ago, sold 10 million
Halo 4 which released a little less than 1 year ago, sold 8 million
Are you stupid??? Pretty sure that "touches the clout" if not, in the same league. lmfao!!!!
I admit, that was rather cute though!
"It has been doing nothing but delivering exactly what Microsoft is promising even at lower specs"
You mean getting slaughtered 2:1 in the US, (and even more so around the world) against the PS4 WITHOUT Sony announcing any of it's heavy hitters???
Yup...
Now imagine if only one Halo game had released the entire gen. The sales would be far, far higher like you see with GT5. There is no doubt Halo is the most popular platform exclusive franchise between the Xbox and PlayStation lineups. I won't judge on quality but the sales numbers don't lie. And to the millions of die-hard Halo fans, there is nothing bigger than Halo 5 to sell Xbox Ones by the boatload.
Your entire argument Yoda, is completely broken, and not to mention could be summed up around this one sentence...
"Now imagine if only one Halo game had released the entire gen. The sales would be far higher"
Do you honestly believe, that adding up all the sales of the Halo games this gen would = the amount of how many DIFFERENT people bought it??? -___-
Like 25-30 million DIFFERENT people? LMFAO!
The same millions or so people who bought Halo 3 would've bought Halo 4 REGARDLESS, if ODST and Reach were never made.
If Halo 3 was the ONLY Halo game released this gen. And MS didn't bother making ANY more... I'm fairly certain it's sales wouldn't go much higher than it is right now. lol
"ODST has sold over 6 million as a glorified expansion."
GT5 prologue alone sold 5.5 million as a Demo. lmao
"There is no doubt Halo is the most popular platform exclusive franchise between the Xbox and PlayStation lineups."
More like wishful thinking, considering the ENTIRE GT franchise has sold so much more units, (it's not even funny) than the ENTIRE Halo franchise. lol
Uncharted
"343 has already said it's running at 1080p 60fps."
lots of things have been said, and have turned out to be false.
"Forza is full blown 1080p NATIVE at 60fps"
proof? it could easily be native 720p, and just upscaled to 1080p
"Let the naysayers and haters spew their garbage about the X1. It has been doing nothing but delivering exactly what Microsoft is promising even at lower specs..."
no it hasn't. MS has promised a lot of things, only to backtrack within days of making their initial announcement.
I feel people think gamers who are speaking out and showing MS how much they f***** up are trolls or rival "fanboys" when really thats not true.
I mean are people supposed to give them a free pass....if we did DRM would still be a part of the Xbox One and it would be restricted as hell for indie devs
http://www.ign.com/articles...
Lots of things have been said on both sides and been false....but since you have no proof to prove 343 otherwise...we'll go with their word.
forza 5 proof
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...
http://www.gamespot.com/new...
http://www.gamechup.com/for...
http://n4g.com/news/1337498...
Need more proof on Forza?
I know they have...but people get getting the promise of the most dev friendly, powerful machine ever created and yet the lower machine is outperforming it.
But, take all that as you please.
The Xbox 360 was originally announced with only 720P support - nobody thought it could deliver 1080p because it didn't even have HDMI in the initial model. Only component which was strictly up to 720p.
It was in fact the sony droids camp who swore that the PS3 will be superior because Sony fed them with false 1080p games... which then turned out to be a complete lie and 720p upscaled.
And as if to add insult to injury, just at that same time Microsoft upgraded their console to support 1080p on component via software patch, as well as offering a new model with 1080p HDMI. The first proper game this gen which had full 1080p and not upscale was Virtua Tennis - coming up on the X360 as well with full 1080P support and beating Sony to the HD race.
But the worst hit was obviously taken a bit later - when pixel counters started verifying that not only Sony completely failed on their 1080p promise, but that eventually many games this gen don't even support 720P.
And so the last thing completely burying Sony's initial argument was that some the top games this gen coming out to both PS3 and X360... turned out to offer inferior resolution on the PS3 - sometimes around 30% less pixels then their X360 counterparts. GTA IV might not have been the last nail in the coffin, but it pretty much sealed it.
The moral of the story is that you simply shouldn't be anyone's sheep: be it Sony of Microsoft. It really saddens me how pathetic some people can be, being completely ignorant to history and arguing on the internet where fact-checking is such an easy task.
Gran Turismo, a racing game, sells more than Halo.
Uncharted 3 had 6 million sales, Halo 4 had 8 million. Considering that Halo is THE Xbox killer app, (Gears is a side story) that's not saying much.
Halo 2 on PC is more played than Halo 4 at the moment.
Lata.
Halo 4 launch date November 6 2012 about 8.5 million sold in 2 less years...not to mention Halo 3 selling 12 million
Uncharted, again, released on November 1 2011...that's a years head start
Halo 2 on PC is played more than Halo 4 at the moment...um is that a knock on Halo? Can you name me any Sony franchises that old that are still played online at that rate? Killzone, Sony's flagship FPS and supposed Halo killer, has only sold 5 million as a total franchise and where does it rank for online play?
"Lata"...wait let me open the door for you.
@black0o
Yeah, the DR3 with hundreds upon hundreds of onscreen zombies with fully rendered insides in a world where everything is a weapon and contains ZERO load times and people like you who keep pointing out that one video where the player ran over dozens of zombies in a vehicle with FIRE spreading from the vehicle onto the zombies...yeah that DR3 lol.
Should I point out the car game, ya know the genre where consoles can show off it's real muscle, that can't run at 60fps?
Or how about Knack, the game made by the father of the PS4, that doesn't hit 60fps? The father of the most powerful console ever assembles can't get his own linear game to run at 60fps. Really...WTF?
That is one big fat lie. I own both games and there are no more than 100 people playing Halo 2 on PC.
Also, Halo is pretty much the only game Xbox 360 gamers have had this Gen. Other than that and Gears, there's really not much else. Lol comparison.
"Also, Halo is pretty much the only game Xbox 360 gamers have had this Gen. Other than that and Gears, there's really not much else. Lol comparison."
Aaawww....that's what you have left?
and yes halo is a icon in FPS genera same as GT is a icon in SR genera and GOW in h&S ..etc
bottom line in term of AAA+ sony always had and will have the quality and quantity since PSone

Telling me indie games will probably run at 1080p 60fps means crap. 343 has already confirmed Halo 5 will run at 1080p 60fps...so your point again?
@Xsilver
GT3 sold 850 million copies and you want me to combine all of Microsoft's exclusives to try and get 425 million sales...um ok let me get on those mythical numbers. -_-
http://www.youtube.com/watc...
When Forza can get rid of the pre baked lighting and have as much particle and lighting effects going on as that video than your argument will be valid.
"Telling me indie games will probably run at 1080p 60fps means crap."
Of course it does, just like Xbox one having one or two more games at Launch running at 1080p 60fps. Thanks for contributing to my point. So your point again is?
"343 has already confirmed Halo 5 will run at 1080p 60fps...so your point again?"
again, they can confirm all they want... MS also confirmed that BF4 would be demoed on xbone at PAX, and we all know now that it was, just like E3, demoed on PC. Ryse also barely runs at 30fps (despite claims of it running at 60fps), and DR3 is struggling to even hit 30fps despite claims of it running at 60fps... but you'll just call it ambitious, and try to convince us that it's only 30fps because of the BS about X amount of zombies on screen, and each zombie having fully detailed innards (which probably isn't even close to the truth).
the fact is: ZERO gameplay footage of halo 5 exists at this point, which doesn't actually prove their claims. so saying that halo will run at *native* 1080p (not upscaled - which, by the way, you haven't proven with any of the forza footage/articles because none of the devs have ever said it was native 1080p) @ 60fps means crap until we've all seen in-game footage, and not a cinematic.

last one got full quality. Looks current gen -.-
MP doesn't look half good...and those are already official retouched screens -.-
Next Gen Is Here!!!!!! This confirms it.......the gen after next we'll raise the bar....Pong at 240fps!!!
Sounds legit.
http://www.gamesradar.com/k...
Just stop bud, you're embarrassing yourself. lol!
Uncharted has the clout of Halo. So does Gran Turismo. So does God of War; LittleBig Planet, Killzone, and inFamous are on their way.
Sorry, but only fanboys like yourself believe what MS says without proof at this point. Didn't they just get done saying Battlefield would be shown on XB1 at PAX, only to have it on PC?
If Microsoft had been delivering on their promises, I don't think they'd have to scale back their release, among other things.
Of course Halo sold well, there was virtually no quality 1st party games on 360, so when something even remotely good came along everybody jumped on it.
It wouldn't have sold half as many if it was competing against the countless quality titles available to PS3 owners.
I'm sure that chip he has is hers
TGS is for the Asian market
Doesn't sound like a solid line up to me. Sounds like a bunch of fluff and a house of cards.
Ryse is so damn generic its not even funny, Titan Fall and Dead Rising 3 are timed games. So that leaves us with Forza 5 (less features the past Forza games.....yea!! and Halo 5.....as if anyone cares about a series that no longer has Bungie)
You'll see those fans buy Destiny over Halo....EASY!
That is such a weak and questionable lineup. Thats one of the reasons why I'm playing a wait and see. MS lineups are always a house of cards.
Mass Effect, Bioshock, Lost Planet, Dead Rising, Oblivion etc. I mean...whats so sad is that they've done this same crap before.
No fanboy, but I'll wait till I see what BlackTusk is making before I care to put money down on a system that has its games TIMED and by teams that are 3RED PARTY TEAMS!
Well see next year how great that line up is when Titan Fall is on PS3 and PS4 and Dead Rising is on PS4 and probably 360 and PS3 seeing how its actually a port of the 360 version.
So, divervity no longer matter in games..
Shooter + shooter = system seller
This new generation of gamers really annoy me. Remember the days when everybody had something to play...
Now its all FPS... thats what I hate abt the Xbox and the generation of gamers it produced...
No diversity..
Xbox spends its time supporting only a few types of people. main(shooters)
Main reaason Halo sells better its becuz Gamers now will settle and accept anything...Too BAD
Lmfao, go back to Live kiddo. You're drunk (which is illegal for your age!)
You make it sound like R&C is a linear game that does nothing but move from point A to B while shooting everything in the way.
Or my favorite (WOW LOOK BIOSHOCK, Mass EFFECT, Lost Planet, Dead Rising!!!! wow I'm buying a 360 for those games...ITS THE ONLY PLACE I CAN PLAY THEM EVER)
oops......
MS does this flashy crap in the first 2 years OF EVERY GEN!Its pretty much confirmed if they do it again this gen, then its clear MS has NO INTEREST in supporting games in the long run that are not Halo, Forza, PGR or Fable.
I mean....what 360 exclusives are releasing this year again?
PS3 you ask? The Last Of Us, Beyond Two Souls, GT6, Ratchet Nexus.....half new IPs. Can't say the same for MS. Sony will support, give new IPs at the start, middle and ENDING OF A GEN FULL LONG TERMS SUPPORT!
MS? Again...still waiting on those list of late new IPs that came to 360 by MS.
I own pretty much all systems other then a 360, when I have Braid, Left 4 Dead, Alan Wake, Gears Of War on PC....please tell me why I need a 360 for 2 or 3 games? Mind you, I don't care for Halo now that Bungie is gone, GT is my racing game of choice cause its a REAL SIM! Fable is as fake Donald Trumps hair and you wonder why I don't own a 360?
Got Mass Effect on PC, I'm sorry but 2007- just made me want a 360 less and less AND LESS! Every year or 6 months it was "guess whats coming to PS3 or PC?" Sorry but I don't want to buy a XONE and have a bunch of games I THOUGHT where exclsuive end up on a system I already own. Sorry but I'm not looking to buy a system to play a game "first".
Titan Fall, Dead Rising 3....see you guys next year for the annual times up, told you so, classic MS flip flop. And believe me, they are pretty damn happy to smile and tell you its "exclusive" just to get your money, you'll see just how "exclusive" it is next year to 6 months later. LOL!
Owning a Wii, PS3 and PC...how do you think I would feel If I got a 360 for Mass Effect, Lost Planet, Dead Rising, Bioshock, Ninja Gaiden, Oblivion etc?
I mean.....how would that make me trust this company when it comes to crap like this? Sorry but I'll wait a year or 2 to see what is really exclusive, seeing how MS has a history of flip flop 180 line ups! LMFAO!
Its sad that ppl fight over who kisses whose ass better.
Why not wait till 2015 and fill in the void with a new Perfect Dark or new AAA game
I'm happy at this announcement. This just adds more pressure on Sony. I'm buying a PS4, but I want this to send a message to Sony.
Think about it. As far as announced titles go, Xbox One has the advantage. Why not announce the biggest game in your franchise along also to crank up the pressure? Then pre-orders would "Ryse".
Still buying a PS4, but smart move by MS.
To be honest, however, it doesn't look legit. I mean MS isn't even going insane over this. This sounds like either a last-second announcement, or fake.
Snap in to a Skype... O yea
And that ends this E3 recap.
Without a doubt, Halo 5 will be a success. I feel it.
