Today Ryan Payton leaves Konami, Amazon offers same day delivery, and a bunch of rumors are going around about the 360 and Halo 4.

Average: 4.8 (41 votes)

can this title get any longer?

that was classic

Yes it can

They forgot to add, Solid Snake is not in it and MGS 4 will not be on the 360.

Are you ready to be disciplined?

MGS4 on 360

I swear to god...if one person says that MGS4 SHOULD be on the PS3, then that means that, in order to equalize the trade, they should put titles like Halo or Gears of War on the PS3 because they pretty much took FFXIII

MGS4 360 is NOT gonna happen, especially so if the director says "FUCK OFF! Stop asking questions!" (Dramatization FYI)

oh yes

i want your babies

Another awesome show.

I'm pretty excited to hear about Halo 4 and Metal Gear Solid 5. They seem like brand name games that actually live up to their potential.

Wow.... I didn't think MGS5

Wow.... I didn't think MGS5 would happen guess I was wrong. >_<

Me too

I thought there were only going to be spin offs.

Meh...

Final Fantasy got up to 13 so I'm sure another Japanese game will try to hit double digits.

DESTIN THE BESTIN

I thought Bungie owned the

I thought Bungie owned the Halo franchise?

Well

I aint buying it if Bungie dosent make it

Nope

The deal was when Bungie split from Microsoft was that MS would let them go, but Microsoft Game Studios kept the rights to the Halo Franchise.

Gearbox

Who the crap is Gearbox?

I don't know of anything else they did,

but they're the ones who ported Halo 1 to the PC.

Edit: They're also making Samba de Amigo.

They also did all the

They also did all the expansions to Half-Life 1. I've played all the expansions(Except for Decay) and they're very meh. Now, Valve is a tough company to match, and Gearbox's maps were good, but they simply couldn't touch Valve's from HL1. So, if they are doing Halo 4, I wouldn't be expecting a game of the year.

What about their biggest games???

They also made the Brothers in Arms series... including the up coming Hells Highway...
They are also working on that new 1st person shooter/survival game based on the Aliens movies said to take you through the actual movie... should be sweet...
but as far as them handling Halo 4... it would make me upset... Bungie 4 Life

Halo 1 on PC kicked ass

Whoevor played Halo on the pc knows what I'm talking about. Online matches, awesome new maps, flamethrower (not the shitty one in Halo 3). But we'll have to see if they can make their own game from the ground up(mostly). As long as the story in Halo 4 doesn't suck ass, I'll give Gearbox a try.

MGS Deserves it's "5"

As for Halo4, give it a rest.

i agree

i think they have abused the franchise way too much and they just need to stop

hmmmm...

They have abused nothing... three games is not abuse, especially when they are just making the games better everytime... If MGS5 is not abuse then neither is Halo 4. MGS5 may be considered abuse, because if you have beaten MGS4, then you know there is not much left to wrap up in the storyline, it was an amazingly fitting ending... a fifth installment, which will probably still be amazing, seems more like a cash cow for Konami than a fan service, but then again no matter how much I love Halo and its universe, I see that as being a cash cow for MS... but, what I was getting at was you cannot see one as franchise abuse and the other not because both are system sellers, fantastic franchises, and like it or not, seen as Money Makers and everyone that knows games knows both will sell in high numbers ($$$$$)

HALO 4!

Yes, they abused it, but they shouldn't stop the series. They just need to give Gearbox a chance to see how well they'll do, say "fuck you!" to Bungie, and let the series rest for 5 years.

Haha

360 MGS with like a trillion disks

Woah.

I laughed at all those discs.

cool

MGS5 will be awesome and cool hard news

People really didnt think

People really didnt think that "finish the fight" bullshit was true did they? HAHAHAHAHA WTF of course they are going to keep making halo games they need moneys. As for MGS5 I need to play number 4 first, someone buy me a PS3 dont have 100 million dollars for a console with only one good game. :) (Flame if you want fanboys, dont give a fuck)

Finish The Fight?

I think that whole "Finish The Fight" thing was just a way to make more money. It's nothing more than marketing IMO.

wouldn't be suprised

Microsoft is good at one thing, marketing, Window's isn't the best OS (albeit most user friendly) but it is the best marketed.

mgs5!!!!!!

dude i hope what they say about mgs5 is true thats the best game franchise ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! go snake

MGS5! Oh my God, my

MGS5! Oh my God, my fanboy gage just went from nothing to ridiculous.

Great work as always, Destin!

Very Nice...

Good bloody joke! The titles are already long with MGS5 with a sentence of a title. Still, no way, no way Xbox will have that game. Still, Halo 4 not being a huge seller...heh, I wonder how the Halo nuts will feel when this game is'nt a big seller, I can only imagine the riots! XD

lol i would hate

Is Destin Wearing a Lolazer t-shirt?!

Store coming soon.

Hooray!

Go amazon.... wait a minute, I hope amazon.ca does the same game release date shippping...
hopefully i won't ever have to come out of my trailer again!

YESH!

That was Darren and those were sum hard boobs!

=====================================

looks like sequels are announced, kinda.

wow.. sounds like the big timer game developers are making sequels to make us fans happy, i'm glad about that

amazon kind of makes a good deal, but i'm pissed off with amazon.com. why? well, they don't want to ship games in my country, have no why, but they mentioned some stupidass things called "warranty restrictions and import/export laws" that they cant ship it to Malaysia when my bro and i ordered the Fallout 3 survival edition.

From what I hear, this is also true

There is also this "Project S" going around which may include a video game Snatcher remake/sequal. Kojima is the master of mis-direction, so you never know what to expect....

Basement Gamers

Now they will definetly be albino colored gamers. Games on release date without leaving the house? Damn, now they can just wait for their mom to call them out for their packages. Least you won't have to smell em on the streets...

Are you ready to be disciplined?

COREY!

This episode of hardnews sucked because Corey was not in it.

You do realise...

That on Hard News, Thursday is 'Corey Day'.

On that note, where's Colette? She's usually on the Tuesday show, but on last 2 updates on a Tuesday, she's not been seen.

The Amazon preorder thing

I just don't get it, I mean here in Sweden they send the games when they get 'em witch means that I often get new games a day early. ^^

No.

Halo was a TRILOGY specifically 3 titles, it's not another halo but I wouldn't be suprised by a spin-off game.

FUCK YEA

i cant wait for halo 4 (if its even coming) omg halo is like the nly thing i play online

WOW

You are missing out then, seriously.

im so sorry

but only Halo one is playable for me
the others, just kill it =(

I don't mind Halo 2 or 3 I

I don't mind Halo 2 or 3 I prefer the first one as well. I was saying if it's the only game he plays online her is missing out.

awesome metal gear solid 5

i wonder what the plot will be??? I cant wait for some screen shots

What?!

No hump day clip?! How else am I gonna get over this hump?

yeah...

this was the Tuesday episode. Did u sleep for 24 hours straight?

HOLY CRAP! THAT WAS 20 DISCS!!! (yes i counted the disks)

Please!

Let Snake and the Master Chief rest in peace so they can go like legends before somebody fucks them up.

Snake

You obviously didn't play MGS4 and/or didn't see the documentary from the limited edition.

Wat was the documentary about

LOLAZOr SHIRT!

damn rite son

LOLAZOR SHIRT!

I didn't even notice the shirt until I saw that last comment! I want that muggin! But don't take away the Iron Man shirt yet! I guess I should watch what shirt Destin wears from now on. lol About Metal Gear Solid 5, it'd be cool to see it happen and the franchise would deserve another game. As for Halo 4, it's a meh.

nooooooo!

noooooo ryan cant quit he does the kojima podcasts nooooooo!

Great ep

This was a good episode! They're all good... this was especially good.

If you pre-order from play.com in the UK then you get launch day delivery for free anyway... it's not guaranteed but I've never had it miss. Play is usually cheaper or the same price as amazon anyway.

i dont wanna be THAT guy but...

destin its not pronounced hai-Dee-oh, it's he-DE-oh

otherwise grats on anoter great vid

Metal Gear Solid...

Yeah, when I heard Metal Gear solid wasn't coming to Xbox360, I was like whatever... until my friend brought over his ps3 and I played it... not the best game, but damn good. But that game made ps3 look good for the first time, at least to me.

Suck or Decent,not good.

Well I'm not suprised that great franchises like Metal Gear and Halo would die out so quickly but with him leaving and a new company making Halo 4,their either ganna suck balls or be good......but not better than the ones before it.
