View Full Version : What's going on with E3 this year?

Yesterday, Far Cry 4 was announced. Odd that EA would do it then when E3 is less than a month away. This morning, Microsoft announced Halo 5: Guardians. E3 is less than a month away and Halo is always such a large part of Microsoft's brief.

>_>

What's going on exactly?

Also betting Rockstar isn't going to fucking release the mother fucking Heists DLC for GTAO until goddamn E3. I'm a little fucking annoyed by this Just a tiny fucking little.

But hey, maybe the constant delays mean I won't jump on the game day-1, do a heist, then lose all the money I earned from yet more fucking GTAO service bullshit.

Just a little fucking annoyed...

You mean Ubisoft? Ubisoft has always been retarded.

Speaking of Ubisoft's retardedness, I was supposed to attend E3 with them this year. Specifically the uPlay Lounge.

I got an email asking for some initial information 2 weeks ago, and nothing since then. It's 2 weeks away, and I still need to book flights and accomodations. This sucks. I probably won't go now because they're leaving it all for the very last minute.

I was looking forward to that uPlay Lounge open bar and talking to the guys working on The Division :(

Heard some rumors GTAV is being ported to next gen this summer. Maybe thats why theyre delaying heists.

Also Drive Club wont be releasing anytime soon, The Division is delayed. I swear to god I better see some stuff for The Order 1886.

They also announced that Halo 1-4 are getting remastered for Xbox One. I imagine that and the actual details of Halo 5 are going to take up so much of Microsoft's brief that confirming Halo 5's existence is no big deal.

No, it was part of their dump. The only thing they didn't do was say who was making it. People are assuming that since the studio that did Anniversary is working on something unannounced that they're the ones.

Halo 1, 2, 3, and 4 would be in that special Xbone edition package thing. 343i is the Master Chief fanfic studio and only care about him.

Amit

confirming Halo 5's existence is no big deal.

It was already confirmed at last year's E3 when they showed that Halo for XBone trailer. All they did here was reveal the title which is very much subject to change e.g. Halo 3: Recon -> Halo 3: ODST, except in this case, it would be welcome if they changed the name. Guardians sounds so juvenile.

Halo 5 sounds juvenile, not even getting to the "Guardians" part yet.

They should honestly come up with a non-numbered title a la Halo: Combat Evolved. Constant incrementing of the number just makes it look like the franchise is getting milked (it is) and turns it into a joke.

I'd buy that for (literally) a dollar.

ODX
May 22nd, 2014, 10:10 AM
If you noticed, the Halo 5 reveal was a day or so away from the $400 price drop (well, omitting Kinect), which I took as a massive encouragement to buy the Xbox One. Of course, because Halo 5 is 2015, as well as Witcher 3, I've no real reasons to buy one until 2015. Seeing as the "Halo" game(s) this year are probably going to be remasterings, I can wait and maybe even get a bigger deal once I need my Witcher 3.

Cortexian
May 22nd, 2014, 11:52 AM
Hey ODX, instead of buying an Xbox One for Halo, speak with your wallet and tell them you want it on PC by NOT buying an Xbox One.

ODX
May 22nd, 2014, 12:30 PM
Implying they would actually take their Xbox One seller and put it on PC.
Implying I have a PC capable of running it.
Implying it would even be well-optimized for a PC in the first place.

And no, I'm not going to spend $700 on a PC when I can buy a $400 console that will have exclusive games for it that the PC won't, regardless of if I "speak with my wallet and don't buy one" and they just decide to port something. Yes I know it's been done before, but do you really think they would take the game that will surge their console sales ahead and put it on PC?

I have a laptop for college work and some games, and a console for most everything else (currently a 360). Plus, with a console, I KNOW things will run and don't have to deal with shitty PC ports and what not or having to upgrade my computer to meet demands whereas console stay the same but games look better and run better still as devs are used to one set of hardware.

Coupled with the fact I still will most likely want to play Halo 5, as well as Witcher 3 (which given I could get a PS4, but I'm already ingrained in Microsofts schemes + Halo, again), buying an Xbox One is reasonable enough to my needs and goals as a college student and gamer.

Now please don't start an argument with me, and I really didn't even want to lay what looks like a foundation to one here, but I really want to get across that I'm not stupid and I am not buying an XOne based solely on Halo. Fuck damn shit. ODX out.

But assuming PC games are $30 instead of $60 (which you can easily get them at with coupons/discounts/simply waiting for them to come down to that), then you can have a $700 PC and 10 games for $1000 instead of a $400 console and 10 games for $1000. Then after that you're just saving money.

Tnnaas
May 24th, 2014, 02:29 PM
Too bad nobody wants us trading disks with friends anymore. :v

Half of the games I have for the Xbox 360 I got for free (or next to) because friends didn't want them anymore.

At least Steam had gifting and trading assuming the game is in your inventory, not your library. Family sharing is a thing too.

Kornman00
May 24th, 2014, 02:39 PM
You know what will stay consistent and whose consistency will be targeted for the next 7-10 years? Consoles.

You know what won't? PCs and their software.

I'm sure it's not just the bottom line with ODX. However, he made it pretty clear that he didn't want to start a argument/debate.

Implying I buy games at full price.

I just bought AC4 for $14, and before that I got ODST for $7 or so. I rarely play games, honestly, just a few is all I need and by the time I really want something I'll wait for a sale because there's always sales/markdowns by the time I care enough (yes, more on PC but still happens quite often for consoles). Last game I bought full price was Halo 4 for $80 cause I got the season pass with it. Of course, that didn't entirely return as well as I would've hoped.

The only games I'm going to be buying full price anymore are [maybe] Halo 5 and [definitely] The Witcher 3 [because CD Projekt deserves my money]. Otherwise, I wait for sales and markdowns so I won't be spending that much in the long run. $600, maybe? And that's if I even buy the Xbox One at $400.


I'm just crossing my fingers for anything from Nintendo that has even the most remote relevance to F-Zero, Metroid or Starfox. Did that last year, the year before that and the year before that.Star Fox please, and Zelda reveal, then I'll buy a Wii U.

May 28th, 2014, 03:44 AM
Well that's fine considering you said you've only got a laptop now. If you get a desktop in the future though you'll definitely have no excuse unless you already have the consoles.

I don't get people who already have a desktop that's capable of being a half-decent gaming PC with nothing but an upgraded/added discrete GPU and maybe some memory. Easily doable for that same $400 - $600 budget. Although if you've already got the consoles, I guess you've locked yourself in for another cycle from the financial-practicality perspective.

I'm done with consoles forever unless something durastic changes with the PC gaming scene or consoles obtain the ability to use multiple input methods (specifically keyboards and mice natively). Biggest thing that turns me away from consoles is the clunky controllers.


You know what will stay consistent and whose consistency will be targeted for the next 7-10 years? Consoles.

You know what won't? PCs and their gaming software.
FTFY.

This has always been the case, nothing has changed. PC has always been the better option in the long run.

ODX
May 28th, 2014, 10:56 AM
Some games feel much better with a controller to me, actually. I'm quite enjoying AC4 with a controller, and Halo works damn well with a controller too (though I'm also great with a keyboard because of so much Halo PC). I like the ability to actually change my movement speed without having to crouch or hold down shift to walk either.

*Ahem* Okay, well, in other news, looks like there's a "new" battlefield game about police:
http://kotaku.com/take-a-look-at-a-leaked-battleffield-hardline-trailer-1582535030

Aka it looks like it should be an expansion pack to BF4 but we'll see, standalone so far it looks like I guess? It's under development by EA Visceral (the guys of Dead Space), not DICE.
Lots of cool police gamemodes like hostage rescue or bank heists. Single Player is like a TV show which could be cool considering, again, this is made by the Dead Space developers.

Edit: Video got turned to private. Blah.

Nah, some Forerunner tech will digitize the MC (a la Prometheans) and then Cortana and him will twiddle each other's bits.

Umm, wasn't that the entire point of Halo 4? I didn't play, but wasn't the story that evil bad guy needed an army so he took the data of people on earth so he could transform them into the new type of enemy that 343i made? I thought it was obvious the moment that digital thing was introduced that it was going to turn Cortana's boobs real and MC could have a love story.

Kornman00
May 30th, 2014, 03:38 AM
I can see it now. Halo 5 is 343i's Halo 2. In that they switch between two characters. Instead of the awesome, lovable dinosaur we all know as the Arb-e-tar, we'll be shoehorned into the female(?) Palm-her and get to hear her talk shit about scientists with some AI. I mean talk shit about "egg heads". Or maybe she will just be talking to herself. Because she's batshit crazy.

Is that really the best major female character they can conjour up :\?

Also, maybe since it's Halo 5 that's really a Spartan 5 :mech2:. You know, because the UNSC is able to be more agile in their research and development now that they're not losing a war, they 'iterate' on the versioning almost as much as Firefox does. And it looks Dead Space-y.

ODX
May 30th, 2014, 09:27 AM
Well they've said it isn't Palmer nor Cortana, and that's it's a new male character. Darn, cause I was gonna say Halsey.\

Now my guess is on some long gone AWOL Spartan from earlier days who's been taken in by the Forerunners and it turns out the UNSC are the baddies and now full out war against them ensues and Halsey teams up with the Chief to blow Palmer's head off because no one likes her. Except 343i...so I guess that means we don't get to kill her. Damn.

I'm telling you, chief will get a message post Halo 4 from Cortana with a ping to the planet that was in the previous trailer. Following this, ONI will send an agent along with Spartan IVs to take him down for going rogue. After a few clashes, the unit along with MC will team up to take down the newly discovered Didact. Just you wait.

Edit: We'll also see Halo 2A announced with full multiplayer, same graphic mechanic as H1A, all the PC maps, and the 2003 mission e3 as a bonus throw back.

That might also be just for testing purposes. As in, they have PC strings so they can test on PC instead of pushing the whole build to the console every time they want to test it.

That might also be just for testing purposes. As in, they have PC strings so they can test on PC instead of pushing the whole build to the console every time they want to test it.

I WILL HOPE FOR THE PC RELEASE THOUGH!
Well, a bit of clarification. The GAF post said it switched from kb/mouse to controller when the game was controlled with the controller. That's more effort than changing a .bat to put in your PC strings in a test build.

For the Halo Collection, is it ALL of the multiplayer? Cause they really need to do well not to fragment everything. Given Halo 2 has MP now, RIP Halo 4 MP. Some Halo 3 might move over I suppose, and if Halo 1 is back that's even more fracturing. Then you have Halo 3, Reach, and 4 on 360. Kinda spread thin, though I'm sure most will migrate back to Halo 2 and now I have a real reason to buy the Xbox One outside of Witcher 3 and Halo 5 itself.


I think I saw something about playlists switching between different Halo multiplayers as well? And not just singleplayer levels? Cause that could help and be cool maybe but they have to do this right. Someone give their opinion though, cause I'm a little lost.

The game works like this. Say you have map A from halo 1, map B from halo 2, map C from halo 3, map D from halo 4, and then looping back to map E on halo 1 and so on and so forth.

Playlist looks like C, A, B, D, E.

First games loads map C on halo 3's engine. Second game in the playlist loads map A running on halo 1's engine. Stats from both games are grouped together into the over all stats. There is NO fragmentation here. Everything works together with the exception that maps are played on the engine they were first designed on.

I'm telling you, chief will get a message post Halo 4 from Cortana with a ping to the planet that was in the previous trailer. Following this, ONI will send an agent along with Spartan IVs to take him down for going rogue. After a few clashes, the unit along with MC will team up to take down the newly discovered Didact. Just you wait.

Edit: We'll also see Halo 2A announced with full multiplayer, same graphic mechanic as H1A, all the PC maps, and the 2003 mission e3 as a bonus throw back.

So Halo Collection has an intro and an outro that tie in halo 5. Who wants to make some bets on the agent being briefed about Chief's history and the collection is that briefing? Calling it now. :realsmug:

Blur will also produce a prologue and an epilogue to the story 343 teased in the E3 trailer below. Delivered as a message from the Arbiter to Agent Locke, it also includes a brief appearance from the Spartan, who must "walk in his footsteps" to find Master Chief.

My reaction to the MC collection and Halo CE and Halo 2 on XBL:
3313
Do I really need to buy the abomination of a system called Xbox One?

More stoked on the new Zelda game. For a long time the series has (home console titles) lacked true adventure and instead has been very linear. And DOOM 4! I hope it's good for more than looks. Meanwhile...
