Is anyone even excited for Halo Wars?
Ever since it's unveiling, I've seen little hype for Halo Wars. When I first saw it, I thought it looked interesting because they were taking the Halo franchise out of it's FPS genre and bringing in something different. But that's about the only think I've ever thought was interesting about this game.
Reading through user-heavy websites and a couple of forums here and there, I've seen little hype for Halo Wars despite the first three Halo games selling extremely well and basically being the console selling titles for the Original Xbox and the 360. The only person-or company- I've seen hype this game up is Microsoft. When it comes to exclusive titles, I haven't seen much coming from Microsoft. I know there are ton's of great games coming out the 360, but most will also be seeing a release on the PS3 as well.
So far, the only exclusives that I've really seen from Microsoft are Star Ocean 4, Halo Wars, Halo: ODST, and Alan Wake. Go ahead and start posting "Are you kidding? There are ton's of 360 exclusives coming!" And then start naming off a bunch of games I've either never heard of or just slip my mind at the moment.
I personally do not think Halo Wars is going to sell well. Halo: ODST looks good so far, and it will probably sell well. But it's just an expansion pack. Star Ocean will likely be a solid title, with decent sales numbers. And we are finally getting some news about Alan Wake.
Microsoft is bound to have a couple of good titles late this year, but we need more titles to hold us over through the spring and summer until then. With the PS3 having titles like God of War III and MAG possibly releasing late this year, what could Microsoft have in store for us?
