Halo 5 pushed into 2015 and a Xbox One price cut rumoured

Oh crap they know everything

I do find it strange that certain sites have certain followers and that somehow Neogaf has turned into the forum where all the industry insiders meet and publicly reveal confidential information about their products.

The latest leak comes from a user called ntknrl who has been verified as an industry insider and not some punk kid making things up so we are taking his statements as what Microsoft currently has planned.

The first one is that Halo 5 isn’t going to be seeing the light of day until at least 2015 which is a little depressing for the Halo fans out there but it’s not all bad news. Apparently Halo 2 is getting a 1080p HD remake which will include improved multiplayer and that will be releasing exclusively on the Xbox One later this year. The readers over at Neogaf are ecstatic about that but I can honestly say that I’m not overly interested in playing a remake on my brand new console, that’s if I had one that is.

Other games that we can expect later this year are Forza Horizon with a sexy new weather system, Sunset Overdrive is also in holiday 2014 and the much-anticipated Quantum Break which is the title I”m most excited about.

A new Fable will be landing in 2015 which will make our old intern very happy indeed and it looks like Microsoft are going to reattempt Crackdown but we won’t see that until 2016.

The leak also revealed the first DLC for TitanFall is planned for 45 days after release with the second release 120 days after initial release.

He also mentions that Microsoft are planning an optical disc free Xbox One that will retail for $399 and is planned for later this year.

But don’t expect any Gears of War news anytime soon as that is expected to have at least a 2 1/2 year long development cycle.

And last but not least if you really want a white Xbox One then you may be in luck with one planned for later this year alongside a 1Tb Xbox One. That’s all we have so far, well that and the breaking news we posted earlier that South Africa will only receive their Xbox One units in October this year.

So has anything here made you excited about the Xbox One’s future plans? I know I’m excited that they didn’t mention Skype once in the entire leak.

    Heard some interesting rumors about the ntknrl guy being there to flush out CBOAT.

    Anyway, Halo Smhalo, Forza Borza – but Quantum Break, that’s got my attention!

      Quantum Break I think is going to be amazing, I loved Alan Wake it would be good if they made a sequel to it on next gen 🙂

    I would not mind a 7th gen price cut so I can stock a few 360s for the next 10 years of 7th gen gaming. Most of us have a collection of R15 000 worth of games and the next gen THE SO CALLED ONE THAT MEETS ONE AND ALL cant play 360 games.

        I was thinking about it. But then a couple of people at work can never seem to get their new high end PCs ever working. They are always taking them back to exchange parts for compatibility. To much of a nightmare.

          They aren’t doing it right. The problem with people like that is they tend to skimp or go overboard on specs. Even an el-cheapo R3000 laptop can play a your basic 2D Platformers and Fighting games at 1080p.

          I helped many people when buying PC’s and not once in the past 5 years have one of them broke down. Now that I think of it, my old AMD 64bit PC still runs.

          It’s because they’re not checking specs of parts… or they’re buying a crappy Matrix machine (or adding incompatible parts on these, which the sales people don’t care about) or name brand.

          I check the specs, recheck them, and then buy the parts separately and then build my PC myself.

          I built my first PC last year. Aside from adding too much thermal compound, everything went smoothly and it still runs perfectly. Never had an issue. Why? Because I did my research. It is a lot of effort up front but the cost savings and backwards compatibility of a PC are unbeatable.

          It’s a lot easier than you think.

          I don’t want that song stuck in my head… even with the altered lyrics of:

          “What does the fox say?

      At a going rate of R699 per game that’s a mere 21 games. I have a wall full of games.

          Don’t forget the ‘cloud power’ DLC.

            It’s “definitive”… cloud requirement is built in for it to read the disc or files, never mind run.

            January 30, 2014 at 15:17

            You’ll need the DLC to enable the Cloud Power. Then the microtransactions to pay for each MB used

    I know it’s just rumours, but it would be a good idea to release an HD version of Halo 2 on the 360 as well. Just to keep it relevant.

      Imagine if they couldn’t get the HD remake running at 1080p/60fps.
      The internet would melt with the tears of a million fanboys.

    from all the news i been reading about the X1. Im quite put off that system. As much as i want Forza 5 as well. The issues with that game also put me off. So i dont see myself getting this system anytime soon or ever. Might sit this generation of Xbox out and get a PS4 instead.

    “Microsoft are planning an optical disc free Xbox One that will retail for $399” – and they start this DRM shit again.
