60fps?!?!?!?! Good thing the human eye only sees in 24 fps.

Cortana is gone, but I get the feeling.

I thought Halo 4 was a definite change for the Halo franchise, and in a good way. I can't wait to see what they do with Halo 5. I just don't want to see the Flood back.

Has anybody been impressed with anything pre-rendered since Killzone 2's premiere?

pete and all his annoying XBL friends are :fap:ing to this... shit looks good, but the last few halos (IMO) have been hot garbage...

Agreed. I think our expectations of FPS and MP in general are just so high now that it's not going to be easy to cater to those demands.

SWOTOR?

Yeah, everyone was impressed with those, and they included things that hadn't been done in anything Star Wars before though. In the one with the Sith Empire returning, the one master grabs the double bladed saber and is using three blades at a time. I definitely nerd-gasm'ed on that one.

Reach was solid, loved it moreso for the Living Dead playlists, but it started the ability to kit out your MP character. Halo 4 changed it so you didn't have preset weapon locations (which I hated in every Halo game because I never played enough to know the map locations) and I thought the story mode was a step forward from previous modes.

It also helped that neither game had the Flood in it.

**SHOCKING** The Halo CG trailer that was shown at E3 is in fact, Halo 5. **GASP**

Halo 5: Guardians

Any time you transition to a new platform, there is the opportunity to look at things with a new perspective. For us at 343 Industries, the launch of the Xbox One was an opportunity to think about what stories we wanted to tell, how to tell them, and how best to push the “Halo” franchise to showcase the platform. And, most importantly, combining our passion for “Halo” with the vocal and informative input from our fans.

“Halo” isn’t simply a perennial game franchise, it’s a part of the Xbox platform itself. In terms of innovation and ideation, it’s sometimes important to people who might not even play “Halo.” And of course it’s a passion and an essential experience for two generations of gamers. So we asked ourselves, how do we begin and where do we go with “Halo” on Xbox One?

In the past, “Halo” games have pushed the Xbox forward, showcasing the console and its ecosystem in entertaining and innovative ways. Making a “Halo” game that runs at 60 frames per second, on dedicated servers, with the scope, features and scale we’ve been dreaming of for more than a decade, is non-trivial. It’s a task that we, at 343 Industries, are taking very seriously to ensure we deliver the “Halo” game that fans deserve, and a game that is built from the ground up for Xbox One.

I’m happy to reveal that “Halo 5: Guardians,” the next installment in the legendary saga of the Master Chief, will launch on Xbox One in fall of 2015. In the tradition of every “Halo” game since its debut in 2001, it is a massive and exciting project.

“Halo 5: Guardians” is a bigger effort than “Halo 4.” That applies to the content and scope of the game, as well as the technology in what’s now a brand new and more powerful engine. Certainly there are some core elements carried over from prior games, but we’ve invested a huge effort in retooling our tech to take full advantage of the Xbox One’s hardware and ecosystem to create worlds and experiences worthy of next-gen.

It’s a game that will hopefully demonstrate the talent, learnings and abilities of the 343 Industries team. A game that will incorporate the things we learned from “Halo 4” about technology, aesthetics, performance and scale – and perhaps more importantly, understanding and embracing a community of gamers who love what lies at the heart of this game, and the limitless potential of the “Halo” universe.

And 2015 won’t simply be the year of “Halo 5: Guardians,” it will also be a year that offers us a unique opportunity. The opportunity to invite old friends and new audiences into that universe through the “Halo” television series, launched as a unique collaboration with Steven Spielberg and some of the finest creative minds in the business. A series that will stand alone, as well as complement and enrich the game experience. We’ll have more to share on the “Halo” television series as we near its projected fall 2015 release.

Your Journey Begins in 2014

Many fans noted that I was very deliberate with my phrasing on stage at E3 last year. I spoke about a “journey,” rather than a destination – and that journey definitely begins in 2014 with a giant leap, rather than one small step. We’ll give you much more information about our plans for this year at the Xbox E3 2014 Media Briefing on June 9, and we’re confident that “Halo” fans will be pretty excited about the special plans we have in store.

So until E3, I’d like to express my gratitude to our massive and varied Halo community, whose energy, enthusiasm, criticism and kindness are the driving force behind what we do and what we hope to achieve in “Halo 5: Guardians.”

WTF are they talking about with this cryptic "the journey begins" bullshit? The game actually releases in 2015 now, correct? Let me guess, another awesome Halo Waypoint (that hardly anyone gave a fuck about) for XBOne will release in 2014?

 

[Atlas]

Haven't they already said halo 2 anniversary will be out this fall?

They have a TV series coming out with the game, which I can go either way about. If they are serious about it and put a good amount of money into it like Battlestar Galactica, I think it will turn out well.

My guess is that they will have a remake of Halo 2 coming out this fall as well, so they have something big to reveal at this years E3 that will be coming this year. The terminals will likely come back, that will provide some insight into new things that will go on in Halo 5, and you can probably unlock some other things that clue you in as well.

Officially announced? No.

 

[Twigg4075]

Haven't they already said halo 2 anniversary will be out this fall?

No they haven't, but it's been rumored for a while. That article even says that the whole 2014 comments made it sound like he was confirming Halo 2 Anniversary but he quickly backed away from them.

Hopefully that is what it is.

 

[Slateman]

Probably some sort of online video series like they did with Halo: Forward Unto Dawn and Spartan Ops.

Which, frankly, I'd probably like more than the game at this point.
