Halo 3: Officially announced
on: May 15, 2005, 08:15:42 pm
From the mouth of gates himself

we all knew it was coming, but now it's official AND coming out for the XB360... aparrently timed to coincide with the release of sony's PS3.. :p

looks like Gates has slapped Sony across the face with a glove, and went for the ol' pistols at dawn routine ;)

I don't think this is going to affect Sony as much as they think it will. They're putting all their eggs in one basket, so far it has paid off though.

Halo is the only reason why the Xbox is still around. Halo was originally going to be released for each console, but when Microsoft bought out Bungie, it became an "Xbox exclusive." They had no mascot/flasgship game, so they had to buy one instead of creating their own. Halo is good, but it's not revolutionary, and Sony and Nintendo probably have something up their sleeves as well.

Old news, though not from Gates himself, in the Xbox 360 revealed thread... It still makes me happy though... :D

Albiet, I do see one problem with this strategy, this gives the people at bungie like, maybe a year and a half to do Halo 3? Either they have already been working at it for a while now, or it's not going to be the best quality... :( I don't want Bungie to rush it.

I'm somewhat upset that I'll have to buy a new console just to finish this series... I like Halo. It's fun. (Fun != Revolutionary, Revolutionary != Fun) And I don't really want to buy a new console. just yet.


Only if the XB360 can play XB1 games. So I can get my XB to run linux, and use it as a portable PC for school... >.>

lol!

The hardware looks soooo good...

But I'm betting it will be backwards compatible because the Bungie team is pushing for it citing the fact that they want fans to be able to play the Halo trilogy on one console.

that's no big shock, really.
however, it was Halo 2 AND Xbox live that really sold the console..
Xbox live moreso..

"Portable"?

Seriously, I agree though. Without backwards compatability, I would have some severe doubts about rushing forward. I'm not going to touch the 360 for at least 18 months anyway - wait for that price to drop.

The only console I ever bought when it first came out was the N64 back in 96 i think.  Of course I'm having a hard time holding back on the PSP.:D

Oh, and I almost forgot to say in regard to Halo 3: booyah! :) Though of course we knew... still, it's nice to be confirmed. Interestingly, there's no news about it on Bungie.net.

If there's a rushed ending for Halo 3 just like Halo 2, that'll be pretty lame. :p

Right, sorry, my bad. I meant to say... "Yay! We have... ummm... you know... Halo 4 through to 600 to look forward to, without any resolution of the plot! Awesome!!"

Halo 2's ending was deliberate.

At last! I've been waiting since Halo 2 to find out what happens to Earth since, at the end, there seems to be a major ass battle going on in Earth's orbit.

Though am not happy about having to rush out and buy an Xbox 360 just to play it. I'll buy it right away if I find I can play my old Xbox games on it.
