Microsoft Canceled a Halo Megablok Game

Halo has had it’s fare share of spin offs in gaming. The mobile game Halo Assault and the real time strategy game Halo Wars are an example of the leaps the franchise can make across gaming genres. A new spin off that was apparently canceled is a Halo Megablok game.

Looked interesting.

[Abash]

Yeah, I would have played it. Probably was a lot of fun

[ninsigma]

That's a real shame cuz that looks like great fun!

[Relientk77]

This looks cool, they should have released this

Another mistake of the Mattrick era considering just how big the Lego games have become. This would have been great. Hope Phil resurrects this further down the line.

Man this is just more proof how awful of a job Don Mattrick did while in charge. He took the 360 lead and turned them into underdogs.

He did such a horrible job at Zynga as well. It's crazy how investors thought his hire at Zynga was positive for the company. Anyone from the actual gaming industry could see the disaster ahead.

Zynga is dead at this point and they did Microsoft a favor taking this guy off their hands.

@Sem8 Fable Legends wasn't the game they wanted to make it was the game Mattrick wanted. He rejected Fable 4 because he was transitioning Xbox games to a service.

Who are you kidding about the Kinect? The five people out there that want Just Dance 14 will be disappointed the rest of the gaming community will celebrate.

Project Sparks was good but didn't generate any revenue. It's hard to justify spending money on something very few people are using. Also Microsoft handled it pretty well if their quote is true.

"This was an extremely difficult decision for our team that we do not take lightly. When 'Project Spark' transitioned away from active development last fall, many of our team members moved to other projects within Microsoft Studios. While this means there have been no layoffs at Microsoft, it also means it's simply no longer feasible to continue the behind-the-scenes work involved with keeping 'Project Spark' up and running with meaningful updates and bug fixes, so we have come to this hard decision."

I'd say that's far better than most game shutdowns.

Looked nice. I hope we get a Halo rpg or a darker and more mature third person halo spin off down the line.

Surprisingly it actually looks pretty good. Missed opportunity smh

[TheColbertinator]

Wanted that Lego Halo game years back. Got so pissed when EGM said it was an April Fools

[MasterCornholio]

It could have been a great platformer.

[ChronoJoe]

Looks like it would have played quite similarly to the ratchet and clank games.

[UCForce]

Wow ! This looks fun enough for me.

[XXanderXX]

oh well ( Don't judge the comment as harsh or simplistic , MS may have had good reason to cancel said game . No sense crying over spilled milk )

[Profchaos]

I would of picked it up looked pretty cool

[TheDivine]

MS kills more games than Sony and Nintendo release. Looked good and it would've sold well also. Oh well.

[StarElite]

Yep, you see all those cancelled Rareware ips that had so much potential. Sometimes I feel like MS has absolutly zero faith in their studios.

[Elvfam511]

Smh fun games like this get canceled. Co-op too damn shame

[Gamist2dot0]

Wonder if the buy out of Minecraft resulted in the cancellation of this.

[mcstorm]

You could be right there but we will never know. I am waiting for a halo Minecraft game though. This looked interesting though but just think how many games start out we never get to see or play.

[BizarroUltraman]

This should be in Halo like an Arcade mode.

[Deadpooled]

Looked great, surprised it was cancelled. Had kind of a Lego/Ratchet and Clank vibe to it.

[BlackIceJoe]

That looked awesome! I liked how it was adding platformer ideas into the game. Hopefully MS will rethink about bringing a game like this out, because I gladly would buy it.

[Ninte]

They could of piggy bank of mine craft

[Darkfist_Flames]

this actually looks fun, and i dont even like lego games, i guess they rather buy Minecraft than try to make kiddy games.
