I want a Forerunner RPG, they have the reference material with the Forerunner Saga. There is so much you could do with a Forerunner RPG, your literally not limited in any way with the world or character. There is so much you could do with the origins of humans and first contact, the other species and politics, eventually you can get into the war and the Precursors/Primordial/Gravemind. For Gears I want a horror game or an XCOM like, Horror would probably be to close to the mainline games though.So...
What would you all specifically want the rumored Halo and Gears spin-offs to be?
I'd like a squad-based, tactical Halo and a Gears that's like XCOM.
Doesn't Microsoft own the Shadowrun IP and licensed it out to Harebrained Schemes? Still baffles me that Microsoft didn't pay them to port over the game to Xbox One.
I'd like to see this as well, depending on how well they managed to convert the controls / UI / text. The Shadowrun "universe" is an interesting one and could be spun into multiple genres, as seen by HBS' Shadowrun, Shadowrun X360, and Shadowrun 16-bit era. It might be a good fit for something along the lines of Deus Ex / Prey.
Alright, let's take a nice long look at how MS's 1st party offerings on Xbox One compare to Nintendo with the Wii U and Switch.For the sake of everyone's sanity can we please stop talking about Sony vs Xbox and Xbox vs Sony in this thread. Pretty please.....
I'd say so, yeah, depending on what they announce/how they announce it. Halo still sells good numbers.
Uhm...seeing as to how Halo usually gets like 2-3 E3s before releasing...having 1 and then release would be a bomb, releasing in the spring would be a bomb. But obviously, opinions.
Well a bomb would be a good way to describe the thread that will spawn from it lol, you thought the GOW thread was moving fast. Wait till you see the mess that will be the Halo 6 reveal thread, fun to watch in a good and very bad way. That thread is going to depend on what 343 does.....

ok this is the only way I know to shift the discussion on something less "hot".
Showtime is a huge network with a high quality standard (like Twin peaks 3 last year)
I've met only one game that I thought was worth the 9,5 status, planescape: torment :lol:
But maybe it's just our personal tastes, like once said one of the masterminds of italian literature, Torquato Tasso, "s'ei piace ei lice: if you like it, you could enjoy without regret"

:P
It depends when the spin off game comes out. If the spin off is anytime this year 6 isn't coming out before fall 19.Spring 2019 is a realistic guess for Halo 6. Another October release seems crazy.
I'm expecting Warzone in Halo 6 to be along those lines, well not the timeline bit :P Klobrille mentioned a large player count for Halo, we know their not doing a battle royale. So Warzone makes the most sense, as their original goals for Warzone were far bigger than what we got. Hopefully the extra year allows them to reach their ambitions, I'm expecting a mixture of Warzone and Battlefield.Another random Halo spin-off idea:
A Halo multiplayer game in the style of Star Wars Battlefront. Every map is a large scale battle from different points in the Halo timeline.
Not true at al. The Lost Legacy got BAD scores because it had too much gameplay and less story :PHowever, alot of Sonys first party are in my mind specifically designed to be media darlings. The media loves a story about emotions, gameplay be damned
Also I don't really think it's a conspiracy. Narrative based games this gen at least are reviewing higher than a more gamey game. Aside from Overwatch, MP games aren't reviewing higher than mid 80's or so. And I'm kinda astonished that OW got that high, not because it's bad. But because it's a MP only shooter at full priceWe cowardlytattle in other threads about other threads now. Is that a new low?
They need to take of the fanboy glasses to say the least...We cowardlytattle in other threads about other threads now. Is that a new low?

I absolutely believe that Halo 6 should be a spring game and not fall. Let it breathe.

I don't even like COd but when was the last COD to get above 87 MC
Isn't that what you're doing here? Just sayin'.We cowardlytattle in other threads about other threads now. Is that a new low?
The funny thing about this trope is that 3 months from now the crop of "GOW wasn't that good" guys will come out, or the pacing has issues. The initial review will never get the full story on the quality of a game. It's easier to critique how a game makes you feel in the moment than how it's game play holds up under scrutiny.Also I don't really think it's a conspiracy.

Considering how much Halo hasn't changed from it's formula in its reveals and releases...yea, I consider them bombs. But like I said...different of opinions...but I guess you have high expectations of bombs of the 6th iteration of a good selling franchised game. #shrugOh.. that's why you'd consider it a bomb.
Expectations are fairly low at this point it seems.
Unless the next Halo bombs, Halo will still be a bomb, just smaller yield.

What if we'll get a survival horror game where we play as a DeeBee in the rumored Gears spin-off? That'd be pretty funny tbh.
I'll book october 2019 after the start of the showtime seriesYall bored.
MS gonna drop bombs on yall, Halo 6 spring 2019. Kiss my ass. :)
Halo spinoff should be the damn RPG everybody's been begging for. Personally I want something that can explore parts of the universe that has only been in the novels. RPG would be the best genre to accomplish this IMO.
Can't agree more. Microsoft has the opportunity to create the new Mass Effect by making a good Halo RPG.
So.....who's playing/buying State of Decay 2?
Which version are you buying? Standard or Ultimate? Or are you playing via Game Pass or renting the game via GameFly/Redbox?
I'm personally buying the Ultimate Edition. For $40 Best Buy GCU, I can't go wrong. Get the game four days early, the season pass and a copy of the original game. I'm also buying an Xbox One X for State of Decay 2 as well. Going all in with the game. Very much looking forward to the game.
Anyone else looking forward to State of Decay 2?

You are right. Somehow went down to his standard. I apologize.

Have it pre-ordered. Can't wait for the cooperative fun.So.....who's playing/buying State of Decay 2?

That's kinda ironic considering how many times people in this thread have talked about how awful or anti MS other threads sometimes are. Yet when it's the other way "it's a new low".We cowardlytattle in other threads about other threads now. Is that a new low?
Definitely looking forward to it. Honestly I wasn't that sold on it last year but all this new footage from IGN has turned me around. I'm going with the Ultimate Edition, Best Buy GCU or Amazon Prime pre-order making it $40 is a steal.

Where is that from? I've never seen that specific footage. Looks rad.

If we look at what time Xbox exclusive power started to decline we would all point at the year 2016 because in that ms made "play anywhere" if ms gets rid of it things will improve and they will be able to go back on an equal grounds against the likes of Sony and Nintendo.
