This, never heard of RDX and can't tell who's on the call or why they would know.
Likely, but it isn't optimised for every specific PC configuration either.
Halo Infinite reveal on July will be something like the "God of War reboot" bomb reveal.
It seems will be the most impressive showcase.
Plus, all we've seen so far is even without Ray Tracing (possible X1X version), and was all real time, with the real engine.
No bullshit or faked anything.
On July everyone will understand why it took 5 years for making it, and why it needed a totally new engine to do it.
Jeeeez :D
They are a pretty big Xbox focused podcast and they usually have some pretty big guests on their show at times ie Alanah Pearce, Bill Stillwell, Rukari Austin and others. So whether or not they are reliable, I don't know, but they definitely have connections with people in the industry.
Doesn't sound like Hidden at all, I think they guy was just tagging Hidden
RDX, especially Dealer has been pretty spot on in the past. I love listening to the RDX podcast but it won't be for everyone. It's 2 hours give or take of excitable gaming fans arguing and discussing games - with a lean towards Xbox.
There may be some rare camera exceptions, but I think the Discover Hope trailer gave a great idea about the general "one-shot" vision.
Speculative similarities with God of War in order of likelihood:
General ethos of a franchise reboot that retains continuity with its forebears, albeit at some distance (confirmed)
Spoke and hub world design (suggested by trailer and keyart)
RPG-lite progression (scopeless BR, AAA design inertia)
Long-take cutscenes (second trailer had some long takes I guess?? but there were cuts)
Cortana is dead and you must do something with her inert receptacle (a chip is seen and her voice is heard in trailers)
Ax weapon
AI Companion
Change of perspective

This is fun but ultimately I think the game will have as much in common with GOW as it will with BOTW. It's just the vibe of hitting the reset button and capturing some prestige design conventions the series has ignored until now.

Perhaps Master Chief uncovers the CE Magnum under a blanket

I really like the style, will be interesting to see how they can implement that in a first person game.
Yeah, he wasn't in this podcast, but he has been on a previous episode I believe. Hopefully whatever they say is true and seems Klobrille is backing one of the points up.
What if the Live Action trailers for Halo Infinite use the actors from the Showtime halo show?
O_O
O_O
I doubt there will be any live action trailers considering COVID-19.
If it's purely cosmetic, I hope they allow users the option to toggle, personally can't stand it.
Same, couldn't stand it and soured me on Halo unfortunately. Am very hopeful for Infinite to be a return to form
The time skip while focused on the pilot's transponder, and its battery level dying, was an incredible cut.
I'm excited to see this game but even more excited to PLAY it during a BETA
Hopefully we get dates for that too
Hopefully we get dates for that too
I wont be shocked if we get a "play the beta..............TODAY" at the end of a MP trailer for the event.
We wont because probably it will leak on the MS store as usual before announcement. :P

If true, that's really cool. God I'm so excited for Halo Inifinite.
How do we think they handle transitions from these one-shot cutscenes back to the first-person point of view? I guess similarly to the trailer?
We've waited so long now and while I want to see the game I hope nothing leaks since it's been airtight so far.
Oh man, if only. If Halo 5 weren't a clusterfuck, maybe that element of the story could've been genuinely interesting. The Created have so much potential as an "enemy within"-type threat, but it's all wasted in the game where they make their big debut.
That's the thing, it was only the debut of the created. 343i have not even been given a chance to follow it up properly.
The Covenant was introduced in The Fall of Reach, wherein they glass an entire planet. The Created are introduced in Halo 5, where they take over a bunch of Forerunner constructs and fuck off elsewhere. I feel like Bad Blood did a decent job highlighting how terrifying the Created could be, but it was a corny novella and only tangentially related to Halo 5.
I mean it was initially hard for a lot of people to figure out what was going on.
That was probably because it was a super hyped moment as a part of an E3 trailer, to be honest. Shit happens fast during E3!
ghost of former cortana: " you can do this John.... "
ghost of former Cortana: " I'll always be with you"
* she fades away
117: " I know... "
I would love a simple toggle, they don't even have to dress it up like they did in Halo 4. However, some of the designs for smart scope in Halo 5 are visually really neat, so I hope they come back in a way that's less intrusive than the BR/DMR scopes. Also, I think having an ADS like system that's purely cosmetic would be a nice compromise for new fans. I think this is a situation where everyone can win.
This a good watch and he rightfully advises people that they shouldn't expect Prometheans and Cortana's Covenant faction not to be the main antagonists in Halo Infinite, the Banished may be playing a roll as a third faction but I wouldn't expect Atriox to make an appearance. The Flood may not appear aswell depending on how 343i handles the story, but as Halo canon say's hopefully they are hinted at.
I hope the Banished aren't in the game to be honest, especially if the game is restricted to Zeta Halo. Unless they are a minor faction that is Brute-centric, I don't think it would fit the narrative well. The Keepers of the One Freedom would be a much better basis for a Covenant-Created faction, especially aesthetically because I wouldn't want the gritty, industrial appearance of the Banished to replace the iconic sleek designs of the Covenant from the Bungie-era.
My bet is on The Created being mostly composed of Covenant with new enemies of Forerunner background replacing the Prometheans as a hole, their weapons complimenting the Covenant's arsenal instead of supplementing them. The Banished will probably be a minor-brute centric faction with a bunch of Brute weapons returning to pad the sandbox, if the Banished are even in the game at all. It would be a mistake to keep Covenant enemies restricted to 4 like the past two games had; Brutes, Drones, and Engineers should return. Also, Engineers should be rescuable because I always hate killing them.
Banished can keep the rugged look while the Prometheans are retconned to be sleeker.
Cortana sends all the organics that join her under the Banished while she re-purposes all the mechanical entities. Then the mid game twist can be that Cortana will kill all organics and we get a Two Betrayals moment and then the Flood are there.

Damn it's really hard to get excited for Halo: Infinite when the story of Halo 5 was so bad. The story and lore in these games are one of the most important aspects for me.
Of course I will play the heck out of the MP but here is hoping the campaign delivers too.
