Microsoft: E3 all about games, next Xbox has 'so many exclusives'

We're really going to tell one story across two events. So we're going to start on the 21st and really that's about revealing the next Xbox platform, really our vision for the future of games, the future of entertainment. We definitely have a lot of surprises planned. I know everyone knows the Infinity Ward team is hard at work on world premiering the next Call of Duty Ghosts so we're going to see what that looks like for the first time. People are going to get a great inside look at really the making of the new platform and the team that's brought it to life. I mean to be honest it's really about the team, the people here, that's why we're inviting people to campus, we're going to bring them behind the scenes a little bit, we've never done this before and so it's really exiting to be able to do that. But I think it's a lot of laying the foundation, probably the best way to describe it, and then just a couple of weeks later we go to E3.

"E3 is all about the games," he continues. "At E3, I mean, if you're a gamer, it's going to be tonnes of exclusives, world premieres, and obviously even beyond that we have a lot to share between then and this holiday."

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] It did? Actually wait, all systems had shit for exclusives last year, 360 probably wins by default...charizard1605

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="RR360DD"]Pretty much all of Sonys exclusives flopped (except Journey). Don't even know what the Wii had. Halo 4 and Forza Horizon were quality, and destroyed everything :cool: Plus PC/360 Witcher 2 helped destroy the PS3.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Wii had The Last Story and Xenoblade Chronicles. Actually, Wii probably had the better exclusives, I'd completely forgotten about them. Forza Horizon was great, but Halo 4 was pure, unmitigated shit. Don't even try to defend it. It's the first Halo game I could not bring myself to finish.NathanDrakeSwag

PS3 never had a hugely popular multiplayer franchise. Uncharted is single player driven. inFAMOUS and God of War are single player. GT and MLB do have communities however. Halo used to be nearly as big as COD and now its dead :|

All weapons will now play the roles they are suspose to play after june 3rd.The DMR won't obliterate everything anymore. They still need to make  a classic mode anyway.

Don't you think that is a problem if it has taken them 8 months to make a game playable? Bungie is probably laughing their asses off.

This is why it took so long to do this.

From the matvchmaking system teams

The biggest difficulty in tuning the Halo 4 sandbox is that we support so many different modes (at a high level, we have Campaign, Spartan Ops, and Multiplayer). But each of those gets broken down even further: co-op (1-4 players), difficulty levels, Skulls, Forge, saved films, and a plethora of different multiplayer modes, some of which have different traits that further modify sandbox elements. From that perspective, just fully vetting and testing everything can be an incredibly complex and challenging problem. What might seem like a relatively simple change can quickly turn into a logistical nightmare for our testing team. Start changing multiple things at the same time, and it gets even harder! And thats just looking at things from a high level and ignoring the impact of loadouts and the fact that our low-level moment-to-moment gameplay provides players with so many tactical choices and interplay (golden triangle of guns/melee/grenades + Armor Abilities, vehicles, and regenerating health/shields + headshots, and so on).

Also the post launch support was a mess until january.Why the hell are we talking about halo 4 here?

At least MS still cares about gamers. Im glad someone does now that Sony is going super casual.

All of that could've been prevented had they not completely changed how multiplayer works. They wanted to put their name on the game and make people forget about Bungie and every change they made was rejected by the fans. Even the biggest fanboys can't say anything positive about it.

I do hope MS will amuse me this day.

 Exactly what i'm anticipating the most. Knowing MS, they probably will secure it as a timed-exclusive.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="timbers_WSU"] Just checked. It has about 70,000 people online. That is not dead. Also- Cows really need to quit saying GT5, MLB, Modnation Racers, LBP, PS AllStar Battle Royale, and now Ratchet and Clank FFA are exclusives. All of those games are on PSP or Vita.timbers_WSU

What makes you think anyone cares about handheld versions? Playing a game thats available on a home console in hd on a handheld instead is dumb. I laugh at you for being dumb enough to buy a Vita.
