They will continue making games for the Xbox 360, and Microsoft have the rights to the Halo Franchise, but Bungie wanted more independence to make new IP's.
A new Halo game would be awesome, before Reach would be spectacular. I don't see why people would complain about milking, look at Mario or Final Fantasy, even Metal Gear. They are good games but no one is putting them away any time soon, so why should Halo go?
Anyone could argue that with the PS3 trolls lately! Tunak for one.
Of HARDCORE Sony fanship, he spends his days trolling every single article in sight, relating it in someway to Sony and their greatness, when in reality he makes a lot of people laugh at his childish dedication.
Silogon made a very good point, totally agreed.
Honestly, how do you know none of those games will flop? It's happened before and could easily happen again.
Gears 2 and Fable could be a huge failure for all you know, but suddenly its 2008-2009 everything is gonna be perfect on PS3?
Amazing? Previews can look good, but a finish product can be a different story easily!
They will overhaul the graphics for this one? but not going into Fifa's glowing plastic people!
Fix the online, and a sure buy for me!
Host Advantage was crap on my old internet, but I could certainly fight back with a new ISP but the problem was always there, if you know who the host is and they are running at you with a shotgun, you are pretty much already dead!
Glad to see it's fixed, or atleast the problem isn't so severe!
More 360 titles this year, and older titles getting cheaper, a win win situation!
Great Achievement for Mozilla, they certainly deserve it for the work they put in and how it pays off, FireFox & Thunderbird all the way!
You don't even know who is making Halo Wars or what it is do you?
They made Age of Empires, I'm sure you've heard of it considering the PS3 has so "many" RTS games! Ensemble Studios are a great developer, Bungie have little involvement in Halo Wars development.
Halo actually innovated in the Health system, every game uses it's shield style *stop and recover* these days. It also proved that all the Solid FPS titles didn't exist on the PC alone.

Anything looks better than Halo 3 when it comes to jaggies, well mostly!
From the gameplay I saw last year Halo Wars looks to shaping up nicely, I'm not exactly keen on RTS's on a console but C&C3 was only slower than PC not exactly akward, graphics look amazing for an RTS!
I find it a good organised service, and matchmaking in Halo 3 with friends or any other game is a blast!
What I think Microsoft should do, is to cut the price in half, maybe £20 a year? That looks far more appealing than £40 to anyone and with adverts aswell I think they are greedy in that aspect! :P
Oh my, I said the dreaded "1.5" :P Honestly it doesn't look a whole lot different from the first, which isn't exactly a bad thing in some cases if they get rid of the plastic graphics on some things, and tighten up the framerate to really make the game look and play great.
Gameplay wise, Saints Row 1 was a hell of a lot of fun, if the 2nd builds upon that then GTA4 has a challenge in the free-roam crime genre!
Halo 1 on the PC was a pretty crap port IMO, I don't want to see Gearbox touch another Halo game! :(
I wouldn't use Home, you don't have to use it right you can still use the ordinary XMB?
If Microsoft brought out a Home Equivalent, I'd probably try it once and never go back. Because I bought it for gaming not socializing through 3D Avatars.
Still, something new by Sony is good to see, that is if it isn't Sixaxis.
MY GAME TECHNICALLY IS A FEW THOUSAND PIXELS SHORT OF AN INDUSTRY STANDARD SO I'LL CANCEL MY PREORDER BECAUSE I'M DUMB.
What the hell seriously? why are some of you canceling your preorders? If Capcom got a 720p picture against a 640p picture there wouldn't be a bloody huge difference.
God, it looks good when I played the demo and it played good enough, it takes longer than it's worth to kill some retarded enemies but it still looked pretty enough.
All t...
But somehow I think 4 player was intense enough, what with Proximity mines in every corner, you couldn't move because you would get blown to crap every step! xD
I wish I still had my N64! :(
If they all left for Haze, it's a damn shame because it's not looking just fantastic now is it? :P The new Banjo game would have some N64 devs on it I'm sure.
Why blame Bill tell me? He has nothing to do with the games division, he's a chairman now.
God why do people think Bill is Microsoft's only Employee?
Perfect Dark Zero was a launch title with 32 Player online, and I tell you now there was little lag in huge infection games. But certain factors affect your experience, net connection people you are playing with etc.
The Time I played Resistance online it was laggy, but according to most of you there is very little so I'll take your word for it because I'm sure dedicated servers would run with little lag.
Remember, quality > quantity. Something I'm told in sch...
You saying you didn't enjoy PDZ on the 360? I thought it was a Solid shooter, great for a launch title.
Sure the story was bollocks, but damn 32 multiplayer infection was the best damn thing ever! god how I miss early '06! :(
Shame the bodies didn't stay, it would be amazing to kill all the zombies, and then have to walk through a huge pile of bodies seeing everything you just killed
Looks like a good improvement over the first, but still needs work.
