Subject: Could Reach be a launch game for the new Xbox?

In 2010 it will have been 5 years since Xbox 360 launched. Looking at previous generations, this would be the time for a new console.

Admittedly, Microsoft have previously reported that this generation would last longer than the previous one. They are still supporting Xbox 360 with the NXE and now Natal, and they've released no information about a new console. Additionally the Reach Beta will feature in ODST, which presumably will be played on Xbox 360.

I may have just discredited my entire argument before this topic even began, but all things considered, is it a complete impossibility? Microsoft would just love a Halo launch game to headline their new console, and this game will come at the right time.

What do you think, guys?

there's a huge surge in the development industry to slow down console releases so that developers can catch up with producing. that aside, I don't think they'd release a beta for Reach on XBOX 360, then release the game on a new console.

With all the new things announced at E3, plus the XBOX motion peripheral, a 2010 console won't happen.

No there is not schedule for a new xbox otherwise they would have mentioned it during E3. Plus Bungie didn't say it and if it were to we wouldn't be able to play the beta due to it being made for the 360.

micro soft has not unveiled any new x-box in the making their busy making project natal work.

Wayne Jarvis, Attorney at Law; I have a responsibility to tell you that there is no candy in this office.

The next Xbox won't be around for at least another 3 years, so no.

  • 06.03.2009 3:39 PM PDT

No chance. Sorry. In a few years when they do come out with a console, any Halo release would most likely be a sequel to Halo 3. There would be literally no better game to start the next Xbox launch with. That alone will guarantee millions of consoles sold right off the bat.

No, the game has been confirmed for the Xbox 360. Otherwise it wouldn't say so at the end of the trailer.

something tells me that trying to cram even more powerful hardware into a box would be useless because with all the new engines we just keep getting better and better graphics.
Therefore I think that there will not even be an announcement for the next microsoft gaming system for at least another year with another 2 years before the launch of the actual model.

Anyways with the Project Natal, there are so many possibilities that it is exactly like a system but (hopefully) marginally less

anyways just my 5 cents

do you really think with the economy THIS BAD that Microsoft or would be dumb enough to try to get people to buy a new 4 or even 5 hundred dollar console? no. they have already said that the new console will most likely come out AFTER 2012. so in short NO I don't think it will be a launch title.

Yes, I do. It sounds like the kind of arrogant move Micro$oft would make.

That aside, on reflection it does sound pretty unlikely. Thanks for regurgitating my own points back at me, everyone.

group to talk about halo reach with no spam

First off please no. Im not gonna spend another 400 bucks for another console.

Next doing that in this economy would be suicide.

Unfortanetly ur reasoning makes since which would suck.

there is really no need for a new console besides there too expensive to buy every 4 years

  • 06.03.2009 4:18 PM PDT

No the beta multiplayer is on 360. Also look at project natal.

I would doubt it because I believe it was in OXM that Microsoft was aiming for a 10 year console life.

I've heard that releasing a new xbox but its actually wrong.microsoft is making majorally Hi-tech revamp on the Xbox 360.their just calling a it a new Xbox cause of its amazing features.the revampment will take ur breath away once it has been done and i hear the graphics card on the revamped Xbox 360 will make the PS3's graphics look like a piece of -blam!-.the revamped Xbox 360 will be able to use any internet connection.it will have free xbox live.its sound system will blow u out of the water.their thinking about adding some physical gaming elements like the wii but not entirely for all the games.they'll try making some of the controls less complicated.Microsoft wants this revampment 4 the Xbox 360 to knock down nintendo,sega and other large game companies to where they have to make games 4 the revamped Xbox 360 and nintendo will probaly be ending its line of consoles once the revamped Xbox 360 comes out in 5-6 yrs.

get out of here stalker

I don't think there will be a new xbox anytime soon, so it probably won't be a launch game... Unless... If Project Natal releases in 2010 then could that mean Halo: Reach will be a shooter for the Natal?! Gasp!

Doubt it. MS seems like they're planning on keeping the 360 alive for quite a bit longer.

  • 06.03.2009 5:13 PM PDT

Long live the Last Refuge!

They wouldn't be getting all this new 360 equipment and dash updates if they are planning to make a new xbox. It would be stupid with all this new stuff they are develop to make a new console .
