Yeah, this is definitely still the game I am most looking forward to for the PS4. Though, The Order is quickly reaching the same status for me, given all that has come out of Gamescom so far.

 

I enjoyed all of the Halos, so the "halo-like" gameplay is something I'm actually looking forward to. Though, to be honest I'm more excited about the universe, lore, and RPG elements more than the gunplay. I just hope the loot system is good.

What are you expecting to get out of a PS4 version that you couldn't get out of PC?

 

 I just hope the loot system is good.

IMO, this will make or break the game.

I no longer have a Fully featured Gaming PC to play it on All i have is a nicely configured Gaming laptop (SLI GT650M Graphics Cards) Core i7 2.4Ghz, and 16Gb DDR3 so I am afraid it will not play as well on my laptop as i would get on the PS4 or at least it wont look as pretty :D

Too much Halo in this from the looks of it. I will not be buying this unless there's something really compelling in this game. Halo was dead when Call of Duty 4 hit.

 

Not a fan of CoD either as that series is spammed to death. This game looks like it needs to improve on its gameplay though.

I'd say Halo + Borderlands + MMO sounds pretty compelling. But that's just me.

 

What do you want exactly? Non-FPS?

 

I think Titanfall looks like Halo, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Titanfall is not Halo at all.  Halo 3 is when the series took a nosedive. I never said anything about making the game something else, that's your assumption. Bungie needs to try some fresh and updated ideas because this game seems heavily Halo influenced.

Didn't say Titanfall was Halo, I said it looks like it, and it does, especially compared to the studios previous CoD works.

Halo 3 was as good a shooter as any from the PS3/360 gen.

I assumed nothing, I asked. You failed to answer.

Bungie, like most companies in the world, should do what they are good at.

madd hatter is right, there's nothing wrong with his assessment as I see it. I think we all expect Destiny to be heavily influenced by the Halo legacy, and why not? Even the cover art and the image of that moon thing on Earth look like they came out of the Halo universe. And why not again? it's the same people. I look forward to this on PS4, or X1, whichever comes first...should be good, so long as it's not rated PG for pretty much the same game as last year (ok lame GTA V joke)

If MS release Halo 5 in their typical Sept slot, they're pretty boned IMO. 4 already lost a lot of the fanbase, and going up against Bungie is the kicker.

 

Can't wait to see more of the game though. Shame it's such a long wait.

Halo 4 was released in November, not September. And it also set sales records for the franchise, so I don't think they have anything to worry about.

This.  I'd be more inclined to think (and I hope I'm wrong) that a new Bungie game will largely end up like the new JK Rowling book.  Sold well initially but then nobody talked about it because it wasn't Harry Potter.  Bungie's new game might move a solid amount of copies but it won't come close to Halo 5 because Halo 5 is Halo.

I pre-ordered it back in october from Amazon hoping for a beta code.  Apparently Amazon.ca is not giving out beta codes.   So cancelled that and pre-ordered through Futureshop, but the order isn't showing up under my account, but the order is valid.  Destiny looks fricken' sick.

Yeah, they split them between September and November, probably depending on November AAAs. Halo 4 sales certainly don't mean much today in relation to the fanbase's opinion. We all know big sales != good games.

We'll for all the people who bought it it probably is. Doesn't mean it's a good game for you. But if you're going to give a metric how good a game is, sales is a pretty good indicator, but no metric will ever say what is a good game to you, just to the reviewer, the mass population or whatever is doing the rating.

I haven't said a thing about how I feel about the game. I'm going off what I read on Halo forums. The game is dead online, a first for any Halo.

If Halo 5 is a good game, I think sales will be fine. Good AAA games tend to sell well even if other AAA titles are around. COD vs BF4, etc, etc. Sure it can get crowded, so we will see when MS decides to release. They probably want to space out AAA X1 releases so I would bet they do not load up September. Let Destiny be the big X1 AAA title for Sept and have Halo sometime after.

If Halo 5 is a bad game, well it won't matter when its released.

I think halo 5 will be fine, I liked 4s SP actually and since I'm not a big MP player I didn't have a issue with it, I never used the loadouts so I don't know what problems people had with it or the boosts you got for doing things. Anyways, if the fans are as vocal an out things as they tend to be then 343i will make the changes it needs to. I hope Spartan Ops is still around though, I liked that idea a lot.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By zikalify · Posted

      UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival

      By Steven P. · Posted

      HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.
