MS Game Studios has inspired zero confidence in me the last four or five years.

I'd like to meet in person the 57 souls who think this is even remotely possible, lol.

Going by their previous track record it has more chance to be just another Halo that'll be forgotten, nothing in your comparison is even about the quality of the game.

Honestly, the odds are already against it for me because they are yet again focusing on the Cortana/Chief relationship that should have gotten wrapped with Halo 3

We know nothing about the game other than it's a spiritual reboot in both story and gameplay and that it has a more classic art style. The open world stuff is just speculation from the first trailer.

343 is nowhere near Nintendo's level. The game will be like an 8.0/10 at best.

Anything's possible.

Breath of the Wild was a massive improvement over Nintendo's previous 3D Zelda game (Skyward Sword).

I've heard several times now that development has been a bit rough :-/

Hopefully it all comes together, I love Halo and I like the direction the game seems to be going in.

The first person part was technically 0.5 seconds of the look up look down controller configuration section of the game, but yeah calling that trailer gameplay is a stretch. Everyone knows when someone says they want to see gameplay they mean shooting.

Considering how rather lacking 343's output has been, I'd be very surprised if they actually make a legitimately all-around great Halo game. I guarantee they'll figure out some way to fuck it up.

343 is not a studio I trust at all to make something even remotely that incredible (BoTW is one of the best games ever made), let alone to make a satisfactory Halo game.

I'm approaching this release hoping for the best but also know to have trepidations about it. Plus theyve shown off nothing but CGI trailers in back to back E3's, we know next to nothing about what this game even is.

Oh also if those rumors about this going with RPG mechanics and a destiny like game, Halo will be dead to me.

I won't make comparisons to BOTW. But I do know it needs to be good. Really good. There is just no buzz around the Halo franchise anymore.
Halo is non existant to the younger demographic, I am a PE teacher @ an elementary school and I have never EVER heard anyone talk about it. It's all about Fortnite, FNaF's and Apex Legends.

We know literally nothing about the game.

Given that criteria you could say the same for practically any of their titles: Everwild, Fable, Hellblade 2 etc etc

can't fault them. it stars a protagonists wearing a helmet with zero personality. Halo fans said masterchief is a recognizable gaming icon but sorry, i need to call bullshit on that one. Masterchief's helmet & armor is the icon.
Take away Ironman's armor and there's still Tony Stark. Take away the spartan armor and what are we left?
Masterchief himself is barely a caricature of an idea. Doom 2016's Doomslayer got more personality than masterchief.

It'll be good, so it won't be BotW.

Snark aside, it'll be an interesting departure but have a lot of issues. Huh. Maybe it will be then.

I'll eat my hat and jump for joy if it even breaks a 90 Meta. BotW is not and never will be a fair comparison - it's one of the greatest games of all time, and imo is something that even industry giants like Naughty Dog, CDPR, and Rockstar couldn't match (let alone 343i).

Lol let's wait until we know literally anything about the gameplay before making claims like this.

Nintendo EAD has the track record of making some of the best games of all time. 343i....ehhh not so much.

Soooo I'm gonna lean on saying no to this question. Hopefully, Halo turns out excellent though.

We don't know enough about it yet and it really depends on if they're planning on pushing it way outside it's comfort zone, or going way back to basics and trying to nail it on that end. This would be a better conversation had after E3 I think.

I get why people are all voting no, but OP I totally get what you're saying.

Hopefully this will really pan out. I feel like I'm just gonna burn myself, but I really am hopeful. And it being on gamepass means it'll be really easy to try out for me since I'm good clear till like March 2021.

I'm just...worried because 343. Whereas BoTW isn't being made by a different developer that hasn't shipped any of the more universally loved entries in the series.

I have a good feeling Halo Infinite will be more akin to Sony's God of War

Oh, I can kinda see that too. Obviously it can't not be a first person shooter, but that doesn't mean that it can't have a complete change of focus in how it is designed.

Breath of the Wild wasn't a very good game so let's hope not. Always hope for the best. We've seen nothing from the game though, so this thread/opinion is based on nothing.

If it does manage to match BoTW in any way, it will be interesting to see how it influences video games on a wider scale. Frankly it's hard to imagine how it could do that though.

I have faith in 343i. First trailer had Halo CE vibes to be quite honest, so it makes me hopeful for the single player part of the game. 343i has also shown that they know what they are doing on the multiplayer side, so if H5 is any indication, this'll have a great multiplayer mode.

Don't know about the BOTW thing (not a fan of the game myself, last Zelda game I really enjoyed was Wind Waker), but I am definitely expecting above 90 MC score.
