Very excited for game, but I know the Sony trolls are going to talk smack about the gfx. They didn't do much to Halo 1, 3 or 4 and Halo 2 is hampered by the dual engine bs. But you don't get this for the gfx, you get it for 100+ hours of single player and coop and 100+ MP maps.
Also they said we would see something amazing today - is this it? Game play videos aren't amazing.
Ahahahahahahahahahhaahhahahaha hahahahahahaha
It needs to sell like PS2 or Wii!
It will sell <5mm
And Azure will handle physics and AI for MSFT. You can't watch that Crackdown video w/o being impressed by a 10x increase is destructible objects and particles while maintaining 30 fps, while the one with 1/10th the content still fall as to 3 fps.
Have to admit I reinstalled it a few weeks ago and made a virus named Eola - but Greenland survived with like 20k dudes because they closed the harbor. So my next one was named FGreenland. I started it there and made it sheep based. Took forever but it eventually got everyone.
Totally lame article. Unless you have a 24bit, 192khz DAC - who cares.
Just get the new, fully next gen one out. Remakes should be like MCC. An entire generation of epic games over 15 years. You want to do a remake, remake stuff from the PS1 and PS2. Stop remaking 1-2 year old titles. Most of us still have our PS3s if we want to play UC3. It's not like you are going to make it look so much better it will be a different game.
"Amazing" is a strong word. A couple of extra MP maps wouldn't be amazing as their are already 100+. Not sure what would qualify as amazing. Maybe they redid ODST and didn't tell anyone? Maybe cloud AI and fully destructible environments thanks to Azure physics? Maybe they show off the entire multiplayer experience with a launcher that can instantaneously jump between maps from all 4 games? Or maybe they show us the H5 beta?
Sony troll angry no get play good game like FH2 or SSOD!!!! FH2 and SSOD get 85% meta, DC get 75% and Lords get 65%. Not fair!!!! /sarc....
Metacritic keeps rising. Now almost 85%. Seems like the 1st 5 reviews out of the gate were hit pieces by Sony fanboys putting it at 65%, because it's been all 8s and 9s since then. Good job Insomniac.
And yes if a mag has Sony, Playstation, Xbox or Microsoft in the title - ignore the review.
Bt...
Depends on what you mean by "Catch up". Catch up to 12mm sold HELL NO. Catch up in weekly global sales - again NO. Catch up in US weekly sales MAYBE but probably not. It certainly won't pass PS4 is total US sales. Will Halo MCC sell 2mm units or 5mm? That is what will drive it. Stop trying to compete with the global phenom that is PS4. Just sell more then 360 and everything will be fine.
The metacritic on this game is 65%, is it really shit, or are the reviews missing something?
Taking the game from WW2 to Modern saved the franchise from becoming stale. Now they need to go another direction. Laser guns and energy shields or trenches and bayonets (WW1) or maybe some good commie as kicking in Vietnam or ala Red Dawn.
Am I the only one that has problems using wireless headsets and wifi at the same time?
You obviously haven't used Kinect. I have been having a great time with it. Xbox snap TV. Xbox watch FOX. Now I'm playing Madden while watching the Dolphins game. Call Timeout, Pass, Run - now I'm calling audibles I never bothered to learn how to do before. X box watch tv, X box snap NFL, now I am watching the Dolphins and I can track stats and my fantasy team. X box pause, now I can go piss. Xbox resume. I didn't miss anything. Xbox order a pizza with sausage, mushr...
Actually Titanfall has a slightly better meta critic than Mordor, SSOD or FH2. It also sold really well for the install base. Un fact it's #1 for Xbone with 2.16mm sold vs COD at 2.06mm.
Also new IP generally gets the best reviews and then it goes downhill from there. Sometimes the second installment will beat or equal the 1st. Halo 1 was the best rated Halo (barely above H2). God of War was the same (1, 2 then 3) as was Assassins Creed. Uncharted was an exception w...
Morrowind was the best Elder Scrolls by a mile in terms of gameplay and story. I would LOVE a HE remaster. Don't just update the GFX though. Keep the main plot and existing side stories, but fill out the world the way they did with Skyrim. Morrowind was a bit empty going from place to place.
It will be interesting to watch. How far behind MSFT will the launch be? Saying plans will be announced later makes it seem like it's at least a year away. Secondly, how big of a deal is Chinese hatred of Japan. Toyota can't sell anything over there, but MAYBE the younger generation cares less about the Rape of Nanking.
It actually sold pretty well. Like 10k less then FH2. It's a racer, so you don't expect it to sell more then 1mm copies.
It has problems, and it has mediocre review scores, its not worth continuing to talk about. Let people who want to enjoy it, enjoy it.
I thought Xbone had no other exclusives coming except Halo 5. Oh well, it's probably not 1080p 60 fps so it obviously sucks.
If its not 1080p and locked 60 for like every PS4 game - then it cannot possibly be fun.
Let's not get all but the hurt like the Sony Trolls that one of out games gets a low score by some no name website. Drive club averaged a 72% and it got rankings as low as 50%. SSOD is averaging a 85%, so getting a 62% isn't unexpected. What was trolling was the site that gave FH2 a 20%.
