More Signs That Big Xbox One Leak Was Real

Some rumors are very, very fake. Others turn out to be true—and today's Sunset Overdrive news adds yet more credence to a major Xbox leak from January that predicted a number of still-unannounced titles, including a remake of Halo 2 and a sequel to Forza Horizon.

[Kayant]

"Halo 3 Port
Halo 4 Port
Halo 5

In the span of one year." - Is this actually plausible? It's the one thing in the leak I don't feel will happen.

The only things that have been wrong so far is additional countries launches. The TF XB1 was half wrong with the design not making it to retail that was also one thing Mort disagreed on but said he heard the same things. Take that want you will.

"White Console plus Sunset Overdrive and a fancy ass controller in October" - This will do well and be a system seller I feel.

[LAWSON72]

As for Halo 4 and 3 I thought they were to be just the same game just playable on Xbone. Which would make sense or the Halo 2 Anniversary would not really stand out.

@mikeslemonade

what the hell are you going on about?

I was just thinking they were probably going to be like Xbox originals on 360 and what better way to start that then with the biggest IP they have. I think it is very possible MS announces something along these lines at E3 especially with the emulation rumors and there focus on digital downloads. If so Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia better get on the store.

IT is not like I said Halo 4,3,2 are going to make the Xbone have the best software line up or something. FYI I dont care about your little fanboy war I play games not sales.

@Evilsnuggle

How can a company have the "greatest E3 of all time", with a whole mess of ports, and like 1-2 new IPs? I mean, they aren't even sequels.

[gcolley]

All of these titles were rumored (I don't believe it btw), but you can't spin this in a bad lineup. You just can't.

[TheGrimReaper]

@dirty:
I have to agree, if this list is true MS will have a great E3!
There is no way denying this!

If both lists are true (there are things which seem exaggerated so I don't believe it ;)) this will be a great E3 for everyone!

If you have a PS4, be happy!
If you have a Xbox One, be happy!

If you have money and time enough for both, be happy!

I'd say this E3 will be really close between Sony and MS (and if Zelda looks good Ninty will have a good E3 too xD).

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

Well now there's a huge PS4 leak also. I hope that's true also.

[zeuanimals]

I hope both leaks are false, even though they're both good, and I want the real things to be even better.

Always want better, but expect less... I guess.

[bleedsoe9mm]

@zeuanimals both rumours are pretty awesome don't know if reality will get even better than those leaks

[christocolus]

@kayant

No way all those halo games will be released within a year except ms surprises us all by announcing backward compatibility or a halo complete box set made for xbox one comprising halo1 to halo4 .

I also guess a lot of things would have changed since that leak was made back in january but we will know in about 5weeks though.

[whybag]

I could see them releasing a box of Halo games as a "legacy" or "complete"(ish) set, good way to get the newer console owners into the back catalog.

Selling them individually would be annoying though.

[Prime157]

Whybag, I'd live a collection. Include 1, 2, and 3 remade and sold...

I'm scared of annual, though...

[zeuanimals]

Porting Halo 4 will be useless since everyone's gonna be on Halo 3.

[mhunterjr]

I'd be on halo2 myself... Best MP maps ever...

[Negative77]

Not true at all. Halo 4 had a lot of good things going for it. Some very cool maps especially.

[MajorGecko]

please halo 4 had nothing like waterworks on halo 2 :)

[Haki1112]

Waterworks was amazing

[hellzsupernova]

Nope the console was 100% real but too expensive for Microsoft to go ahead with.

[SilentDarknezzz]

Halo 3 and 4 ports probably won't happen. Most likely he purposely leaked some false information here and there to cover his own ass. Wouldn't want a lawsuit on his hands.

[imt558]

Well, Xbone Titanfall theme didn't came.

Xbone W/O optical drive DENIED by MS itself :

http://www.slashgear.com/ch...

Some rumors are correct, some not.

[LAWSON72]

TF bundle was actually very much legit but do to costs production was canceled. The TF team did a boxing and everything. Xbone optical drive may have been a possibility as well back in Jan, but could have been cancelled for obvious reasons such as the system still does not feature pre installs for launch games and the idea really was not that great to begin with.

Honestly I think alot of these leaks were on the drawing board with potential to happen. Like I bet white Xbone will not happen due to the same reasons as the TF bundle at least while production costs are pretty high

The fact this guy knew exactly what this trailer had in it months ago, he clearly knew about a alot of what was going on at MS at the time of his leak

[imt558]

Yes, i know about Titanfall Xbone situation before. Nevertheless, Xbone TF theme didn't came.

[whybag]

But the TF theme was REAL. Even if it didn't go into production, its existence was legit, and that makes the insider leak legit in my eyes.

[isthe]

Wow, guess Microsoft has a leak. I feel it's probably just them trying to create more attention for their games.

[gcolley]

I doubt it, it takes the steam out of their E3 if everything is leaked before hand. E3 is about maximum impact, there is no point even turning up if you are going to leak it deliberately beforehand.

[WeAreLegion]

Halo 2 is inevitable and I, for one, am happy about it.

I'd love a Forza Horizon 2, but why would they make it? The first one sold quite poorly. It's my favorite in the series, but it doesn't make business sense.

[cfc78]

Roughly 1.70 mill sold as of now let's hope they take a chance on it i'd love to see a Forza Horizon 2.

[mhunterjr]

There's no time like the beginning of a console gen to push obscure IPs. Horizon never got the marketing push other MS racers had gotten, but nows as good a time as any to change that.

[WeAreLegion]

Good point! Bubble for "well said".

[Codey47]

I could understand if this were 12 years ago...but this is the day of the Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, The Blog and the Vlog.

Developers "Kickstarters" don't have 5 Million pound/dollar marketing campaigns...they always generate pretty good interest.

[mhunterjr]

@codey47

Define "always generating pretty good interest"

Horizon sold 1.2 million copy's , and is considered just a mild success, given the development costs.

Your typical indie game developer would be happy to sell 100k units. A 1st party title can't settle for indie type marketing campaigns.

[Codey47]

My point is

Sony had terrible marketing until 2012 (Apart from the Kevin Butler "ads". Sony's best attempt at marketing yet IMO) But that didn't stop the PS3 selling multi millions prior to the new marketing agency.

IMO a well established franchise such as Forza doesn't need marketing it'll sell itself up to a certain point.

I think the huge deviation of Forza Horizon probably didn't bode well with the "Hardcore race sim fanatic"
Tbh Forza Horizon was a mismatch of Forza, Codemasters DiRT and Burnout/Need for speed (Recent iterations)

Personally I would love to see Devs/Publishers sink money into the product I'm interested in, as opposed to Millions of £$'s for a 30 second advert to titillate the casuals.

[vishant101]

forza horizon is quite cheap to make however as assets are just used from the mainline forza series, selling 1 million would have broken even for that game.

[mhunterjr]

Define 'quite cheap'. Lots of games share assets (sequels for sample), that doesn't mean development costs aren't high. Besides, companies exist to make a profit, not break even.

Forza horizons has systems in place that aren't present in Forza Motorsport, including a day/night cycle, a different physics model, and an open road map.

[killzone619]

who wouldnt be happy about halo 2 returning? the multiplayer was amazing.

hopefully its running on dedicated servers!

[S2Killinit]

Halo and forza. There, im an insider now
E3 will be interesting though in both camps, (or is it three camps)

[cfc78]

2 camps and 1 tent lol(joking good luck nintendo).

[OwnageDC650]

Hope these rumors are true. Count me in for Forza Horizon 2, Halo 2/Halo 5 beta and a white 1TB Xbox One. =)

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Discless Xbone no just no hopefully!

[OC_MurphysLaw]

If the leaks are all real....then HELL YEAH! I am all aboard for those leaks.

[SLUG]

i hope we get external hard drive before all these games come out we need this first before these games come out

[Plasticgearsolid]

In comparison to the playstation e3 leak, this is a snooze-fest

[Brazz]

Playstation Leak is just too good to be true! I call it fake and bullshit, util i see it in the E3! If at least 80% is true than this will be one of the best E3 ever!

Xbox Leak is interesting, it is a very strong line, but not something "Holy s1@#$!" like Sony line. very unlike to be true, but yeah, it's possible that microsoft can do this.

if one of the leaks is true (X-1 or PS4), than this E3 will be very big! If both are true, than Microsoft and sony are going to make one of the most epics E3 ever!

[xpressyoself]

what was so great about the sony leak? Am i missing something

[Rivitur]

I am so excited for halo 2 on the Xbox1... oh wait you mean a HD remake for the Xbox "one" nvm carry on. It should sell better than halo ce remake though since people just want the MP.

[Skate-AK]

I feel the guy is pretty reliable. He has been dead on with a lot of things.

[jnemesh]

Nothing in the "leak" sounds exciting in the least. If this is the best MS has to offer, they are going to get whupped by Sony at E3 (again!).

[MYDEATH21]

Never had a Xbox, 360, or One. If I ever so happen to come into a large sum of money I might pick up a Xbox One to try these out.

[Jazz4108]

Sonys games are all same old same old. Lets get new ips. Neither one of these leaks are good so I really hope they are not true. Im so tired of god of war and remakes and indie games. Another gran turuismo another uncharted. This is lame.

[D3ATH_DRIV3R_777]

Uhhh........xbox the same way.

Fail!

[MasterD919]

Nice of you Sony fanboys to chime in here like anyone is going to jump ship this late in the game...

[PurpatraitorMGS]

The day they officially announce Forza Horizon 2 is the day i buy an Xbox One.

My absolute love for Forza Horizon is so extreme that i would retire from my PS4 for a couple months for the 2nd one

[megaworm25]

Look, I just want one thing

A Fallout 4 announcement

[Hysteria94]

Hopefully Fallout 4 gets announced at E3 fingers crossed .

[quenomamen]

Couple of HD Halo remakes coming to X1 ?
Now where is that N4G article about PS4 having too many HD remakes I saw a while back........

[Clown_Syndr0me]

But look, these people are begging for it.
I never even played Halo 2 but if people are begging for it then I see why theyre releasing it.
Other games aren't the same, noone ever asked for a tomb raider remake.

[Sh0ckWav3]

Ahh phill wheres mechassult?

[Immorals]

That, black hawk down (54 player multi ftw) and halo 2 absorbed my online playtime on the OG xbox

[Ulf]

If they were to announce a RPG epic, like Mass Effect, set in the MW universe, MS will have officially won the console war, in my book.

But instead, they let the MW IP sit idle...

[Solid_Penguin-64]

This E3 is going to be mind blowing. Now the consoles are out, they'll be fighting to win consumers over. Can't wait...

[Iamnemesis4880]

Bring all the halo games to X1 be like the Mass effect port.

[mcgrottys]

My guess on how Halo 2 and 3 ports could be developed and released within one year of each other is because Halo 2 was already ported to x86 on PC and x86 is the same architecture in the xbox one. That probably saved a lot of compared to halo CE had to get a port from x86 to PowerPC on the 360). And with that extra time they started work on Halo 3 xbox one and with experience from Halo Anniversary's port from x86. Also Bungie stated in a vidoc for Halo Reach, that each new halo engine is fundamentally the same just each is an improvement and expansion of the previous.

I believe that they would leave it until 2017 the ten year Anniversary of Halo 3. However Bungie did have the fixation of the number 7 and maybe 343i may have the same trait so there is a small possibility of that being a reason to give it the title Halo 3, 7 year Anniversary. Instead of 6 or 8 year.

That's just my two cents and I don't know for sure what they are doing.

[LKHGFDSA]

10 years later and still the same shit, "Forza"... "Halo"...
Not that I really care, but it's just a bit embarrassing that no progress has been made for the Xbox.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

But, if its still selling and still in demand then they will make more. Its business.
If people didn't want them they wouldn't buy them, and the companies would make something new.
Blame the fans.

[mhunterjr]

What are you even talking about? 1st of all, Which console doesn't rely on sequels? So far the ps4s big games have been killzone and infamous, and people are foaming for a remake of a ps3 game... We all know how Nintendo operates when it comes to existing IPs.

2nd how can you imply MS isn't bringing new IP. Quantum break, sunset overdrive, project spark, below, D4 , Ryse... Just to name a few... With more to be announced at e3.

PS. Sony's rumored e3 list is also filled with sequels of existing IP. It's like people just make comments without looking at facts.

[RosweeSon]

THANK YOU!!! not just me then bored with the same list of xbox games again and again just with new numbers on the end or going backwards and remaking then all again, sure we've got uncharted 4 and a few others new instalments on ps4 but with all the indie love and just some great games all round ps4 is the one, and mario kart on the side with Wii U, xbox step your game up. Shenmue 3 and I'll buy in a flash.
Yeah yeah people moan mario kart is mario kart 8, well that's over 20 years we've had how many Halo's since that started what with wars and reach and ODST and not to mention remake of 1 and soon to be number 2 remade meh!! Microsoft pull your fingers out, even Epic games had gathered gears has had it's day, if only they did the same with call of Duty. Innovation not imitation please ;)

[Flames76]

You mean like killzone,uncharted,go of war,grand turismo 6,and wipeout?Sony has the same games every year thats why their games dont sell

[RosweeSon]

Sorry but that Microsoft line up looks weak!! Not a massive halo fan, it's ok but not something I'd buy a new console for same with gears, forza and another Ryse?!? Really? Other than crackdown 3 looks like a pile of poop, good job Sony is gonna walk this show hopefully with a bit of Nintendo on the side for good measure, I don't want Microsoft to fail don't get me wrong just can't see how they are gonna turn this around this year when Sony are rumoured to be doing the show of all show's I think Microsoft are gonna struggle for a good year or so, sure they'll figure something out but everything mentioned so far...meh! Hardly exclusive GTA Dlc like we had with Xbox360 and GTA4 hence why I grabbed 5 on ps3 (hopefully again on ps4h but seriously if your not so far up Microsoft backside it hurts then I can't see how that list of games is gonna get you to buy Xbox One unless your a massive halo or gears fan. Hey ho just my opinion, what do I know ;) other than Xbox is struggling whichever way you want to butter it.

[RosweeSon]

Crackdown 3 should be amazing but worth buying a whole new system for? A more expensive one at that, think I'll pass ;)

[Flames76]

Damn if this is true then it could be the end of the PS4 alot sooner than i was expecting.May not have to wait for sony to go bankrupt.Microsoft isnt playing when they say its all about the games
