Looks cool! The gf has never been to D&B so we planned on going, this just makes that happen sooner rather than later.

Remember you have to be 18+ to go to Dave and busters
Or accompanied by someone who is.

Arcade still exist in US?
Barcades are big here, but they typically have old hand me down games. For new stuff, Dave & Busters is your best bet. At least in the Midwest (or Chuck E. Cheese depending on the kind of game)

You know you can walk and chew gum st the same time, right?
Hey Frankie, is anywhere in the UK going to have cabinets of this? I live in the North (not quite as North as were you're from though) and I'm a little worried I'll never get to play this. I love the idea of being an ODST during the fight on Installation 04 and even an on-rails experience is tantalising to me because HALO!

I was just in a Dave & Busters for the first time in years and was surprised to see a Tomb Raider Arcade setup like this for the new Tomb Raider games. I guess it's a thing to bring those franchises over in some form or another now. This looks pretty cool to be honest though it's a shame you don't get to hold actual Assault Rifles.

Yep. No dates or location to discuss yet but it will be worldwide. Eventually in the places you see this kind of thing. And I got to work with Eugene Jarvis so I can die happy now.

Fireteam Raven to feature heavily in Halo 6's storyline.

But seriously, I like this, I'd play it if I could.

An on rails shooter than doesnt have garbage graphics, bravo.

I dont know why the bigger publishers dont take over the "arcade" scene. Seems more easy to monopolize than ever, with just some cheap shit too. At least get your IP out there.

Sigh. I keep hoping for Halo to be golden again, but that hope is pretty much all but extinguished at this point.

I mean Eugene Jarvis is a legend so that is awesome. Such an awesome mix of talents too, mixing his experience with the Halo universe sounds like a dream come true. Looking forward to getting hands on with this sometime then and can't wait to see what you're else you're cooking up in the Halo Universe.

Love arcade shooters. Love Halo.

Need to know a UK location for this.
There's still an arcade and bowling alley in the Trafford Centre in Manchester. Keep us informed of locations please.

Or port it to home systems and release a lightgun that works on modern TVs.

Edit: Now that I've watched the trailer it doesn't need an actual lightgun. The turrets are just giant analogue sticks with fixed positions. That should be easy to translate to a controller. The 2 screen set up isn't as easy but not impossible.

This could have been a great idea for a FPS spinoff for Xbox. It's still cool, but fuck me man. Halo has infinite potential for console games and they just dont follow through.

If there's no Halo home release this year I'm gonna be really disappointed

I'm wondering if Hollywood Bowl might get it. Each one of their locations I've been to have fairly large arcades (15ish machines) and they're all over the country.

Look's awesome. A new Dave & Busters just opened up near me as well, so I look forward to checking this out.

I don't get the negativity, branching out in new and unique ways like this is awesome.

If you have a D&B near you, this is even more reason to go once in a while. This and the Mario Kart arcade are really all I need.

Wait, I forget; did 343 hint that the "other Halo stories" they have to tell would be revealed at E3 or is this the other Halo thing for 2018? Frankie?

Much like you can bite off more than you can chew. There's plenty of examples of that, unfortunately.

More Halo is coming. There's no doubting that and E3 is just a few weeks away

Really looking forward to it, I feel like Microsoft is going to have a great show and they got a good venue. Almost bit the bullet and got tickets a couple months ago, but ultimately decided to kick back and watch it all on 4K on my One X. :)

Actually, now that I think about it, I saw a Raw Thrills' Cruis'n Blast cabinet set in my theater last night. Guess there's actually a solid chance we'll get Halo here too.

I have a lot of fondness for Rail Shooters so I'll probably check this game out eventually.

Awesome! Although, Dave and Busters... haven't been there in a long time. Certainly a welcome addition to an arcade line-up though.

Neat, this will be coming to the TimeZone right near my place. I'll give it a go.

The negativity in this thread is hilarious. This developer makes these types of arcade games. All the would have done is approach 343 about using the Halo IP to make their next one. They've used other big IPs too people.

Save your concern trolling for the Halo 6 announcement thread.

I love it!

Arcade shooters don't normally look this good I'm from a graphical standpoint in my experience. I'm at Dave and Busters 3 times a year in the summer I'll be sure to check it out.

Do Gears next please!

And a Conkers Furry Pinball too!

I thought it was generally accepted that anything by RawThrills was dogshit. What's their involvement in this?
