Halo2HD is a Nov 2014 title while Halo5 and Fable is for 2015?
what else is for 2014 then?

Did you ignore the first sentence of the OP?
Read the summary. Bish approved
They probably need to retool the system UI to an extent to make it more pleasant to use without Kinect, THEN remove it.The Kinect isn't really required anymore, so why add it on? Sure, it might because they want big support for it but with the DRM turnaround Microsoft did earlier, I can see a Kinect-less SKU being a possibility now.
So everyone is getting a little nuts right now, and that is OK.
Last thing I want to do is cause people to start arguing with one another about shit that comes out of my... keyboard.
So, I'm gonna slow my roll a bit, we've all had enough excitement for one day.
Still gonna post as a regular user, but there won't be megatons, or minitons, or any tons with every. single. post.
Relax.
Just to be clear; cboat was never formally identified by any of us. He or she developed a reputation by posting obviously real NPD numbers and internal publishing documents years and years ago before most of us were moderators. The reason we verify purported insiders is not to protect us (no sweat off our back to delete or lock the posts or wait until the rumour comes true or false and then perm them or just perm them until what they say comes true) but rather to protect them (so that if they say something and it ends up getting changed--because lots of things are subject to change--we have a basis for believing that they weren't making it up to begin with). When you hear something from CBOAT, your mental filter is "This is a guy who has said a bunch of stuff over a long period of time including some stuff that was obviously true and private but I have no idea who he is and some of it didn't quite shake out in the end."
I have no idea who ntkrnl is. bishoptl (who has been very public about his own name and background in the industry) verified his identity as someone who would in theory be able to know the kinds of things he's saying. We keep confidence of people who talk to us and bishoptl wouldn't and shouldn't tell me who ntkrnl is. When you hear something here, your mental filter is "This guy appears to be verified by GAF moderators as someone who potentially could know the kinds of things he's saying." We can't and couldn't verify that someone is telling the truth, only that they appear to be someone who could know this stuff based on their position or identity. Of course it could also be that he's Phil Spencer and playing a giant trick on us all. If Phil Spencer asked me to vouch for him in confidence, I'd say yes, and then he could post that Microsoft was buying Nintendo and making a game where Master Chief runs for congress, and I'd have no way of determining if that's true or not, only that theoretically someone in his position could vouch for it.
Thuway and famousmortimer have never been verified at all, and in fact they are both abundantly clear that they are NOT industry insiders. They both give their real names and professions publicly. They make it clear that in both their cases, they talk to people in the industry. In FM's case, I think it's not so much that he did talk to people in the industry, but rather his success with the PS4NoDRM thing got him connections to talk to some people in the industry. So when you hear something from either of these people, you know "This is something from people who appear to be connected, but don't have any first hand information because they're not in the industry. So are they using discretion in terms of choosing their sources or the certainly or degree to which they present the claims they heard?"
Three totally separate cases.
Whenever someone shows up and dumps this much info, I get suspicious. Very few people inside Microsoft would have access to such a breadth of topics. Some of this info is already known, or easy to predict.
I've long thought they would never bother with a Halo 2 port. Most fans consider it the weakest Halo, and seeing as they ported the original to 360, it would have made far more sense to port the sequel as well, as the engine work had already been done at that point. A Halo 2 announcement at this E3 would be met with a lot of yawns at this point.

Any big-name NON-shooter stuff other than Forza coming out?
There's D4 already.

Wow, that's a lotta big bombs out of the blue.
I'd also like to know if and when there's kinectless sku?
Forza Horizon 2, Halo 2, Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive
Rare is making Sports Island!
Sony is probably reading this list and knows half of it already. I'm sure they get wind of what each other is doing all the time.
Thanks stump, I thought thurway was a verified insider...huh.
Can't wait till they squash this dumb idea of a kinectless sku. Makes absolutely no sense.
The ONE isn't the 360, Kinect isn't a separate entity anymore. MS would have literally lost their minds if the go back to last gen and have Kinect sold separately at retail again.
If he was a real insider, he would know that it is "champing at the bit" not "chomping"
This pretty much is their E3 conference hahaThis is more bombs than what you would find at an E3 conference.
Any word on PC drivers for the X1 controller?
Sounds like you're going to need an alt then.So everyone is getting a little nuts right now, and that is OK.

Yeah, I just assumed friends from Harvard went to be people in the gaming industry that would pass him along info.Thanks stump, I thought thurway was a verified insider...huh.
thfuck is wron with yu
will continue to F5 post history in case you mention the fate of PGRSo everyone is getting a little nuts right now, and that is OK.

MS should take note of Nintendo's disaster. Sometimes options are good and a model with no disk drive is NOT a good option.
