Microsoft never planned for Halo to become its flagship title, according to Microsoft VP of game publishing Ed Fries.
"We didn't know what was going be our biggest title," Fries admits. "There was a lot of negativity around Halo, actually, mostly coming from the games press. We showed it several times publicly, and we got pretty negative feedback."
Some titles out there focus on introducing a bizarre turn in their narrative. Check out this list for some solid recommendations for those.
"INSIDE" was bloody amazing, and I miss Uncharted's sci-fi and paranormal aspects greatly.
TBH, 3 and 4 still have them, but they are heavily implied, which can be terrifying the more you think about it, but it is admittedly, much less scary and less interesting gameplay-wise than what 1 and 2 have done.
U3 did show the Jinn's "bottle" in the end and the city was pretty f-ing dope. Just a little disappointing that they didn't lean just a bit more on the mythical parts of the series. Uncharted is a world rooted in reality and Drake knowing all these mythical stuff exists could've led into something cool.
I remember being particularly confused by the twist in LA Noire where Cole Phelps is sort of "exposed". If you've played it you know what I'm talking about. It always felt weird and odd because the player is Cole Phelps. How can the player not know about these sorts of things happening with their own character? I felt like it came out of nowhere.
Is Twelve Minutes on that list? Because IT HAS TO BE ON THAT LIST!
Don’t spoiler yourself with that humongous twist :D
According to insider sources, a Halo Combat Evolved remaster is in development and being considered for launch on PS5.
So the better version will be on PS5 with VR, haptic feedback, 4k, HDR and so on? Can we ban Xbox owners from buying the PS5 version? Put a requirement to have a psn log in to play it.
Why do these news websites keep labeling RUMORS as "Report"? Why even have the word "Report" in the title at all? It's like they are faking an announcement to get more clicks
Remember the days of four-player couch co-op? The Wealth of Geeks team certainly does. This list brings us back to the golden years of the original Xbox with the best four-player games that were available.
I have to admit, the Covenant weapons are very Fisher Price, but that game rocks. I can't believe the people they showed it to at the start had issues with it. All they had to do was play it for an hour to realize there was nothing like it on consoles at the time.
I think Halo received some of its negative feedback from the fact that it was a console FPS and not a PC FPS.I'm sure many within Microsoft didn't want Halo to go on the Xbox because rarely did FPS fare well on the consoles apart from the Rare shooters.
The title is misleading. They didnt not want it to be the flagship title. They just didnt expect it to become that.
Microsoft didn't "EXPECT" Halo as flagship title.
Well no one knows what title will become popular until its released its not something which can be forced. If its a well made game and people enjoy playing it and tell others that then it will become huge.
