Rumor: Halo Infinite to have something in common with God of War (single shot story) and is "a juggernaught"

wwm0nkey · Jun 17, 2020

Felt like this deserved some attention outside of the speculation thread, this podcast has XB regulars on it pretty often from what I saw and the guy saying this is reliable.

But then our boy just comes in with this

I am very interested to see a Halo story told this way.

How is a first person game going to do that and not be... horrible?

Mr.Deadshot · Jun 17, 2020

Interesting. Also, you play a Spartan in both games.

They pull out of first person for the cut scenes.

Discover Hope did a great job of going from First to Third Person

I'm so excited for this, can't wait for the big reveal next month.

Maybe he has an axe and not a gun?

Same was asked about God of War.

No no no, he throws a gun that comes back to him.

*actually not for Halo, but a magic spinning remote gun would be cool in a game lol

Doesn't that defeat the whole point?

christocolus · Jun 17, 2020

Bring it on 343i. Amazing campaign with new vehicles and giant space battles , battlefields with Brutes, Grunts and Elites a full on warzone all with RT :) also make Atriox the villain. :)

You can go in and out of first person still doing a single shot.

Half-Life?

Crossing Eden · Jun 17, 2020

Anyone who wasn't expecting this to be a wide linear title wasn't paying attention. Single shot is an interesting choice though, wasn't expecting that especially since that one cinematic they released wasn't like that at all? 🤔

DopeyFish · Jun 17, 2020

great

we're gonna have to walk around with an annoying mini chief and call him boy

It has a big snake. MGS crossover confirmed.

SofNascimento · Jun 17, 2020

So, like Half Life? I suppose that's how a single cut in a FPS game would work? Unless the came would constantly shift back to show a third person perspective and then go back into Chief's head.

Have you never played Half Life?

blamite · Jun 17, 2020

The trailer they showed last E3 is apparently the opening of the game and has exactly two cuts in it, so... maybe? I could believe it

This is exactly how every Half-Life works.

I'm thinking the action goes as normally and then the cutscenes seamlessly transition in and out without any cuts. It might be weird in a first person game yeah...

Mullet2000 · Jun 17, 2020

Rad. I'm a huge sucker for single shot games/movies/etc.

Entire game is in FPS? Cutscenes also FPS?

Laver · Jun 17, 2020

That would require a massive change to the vehicle gameplay of the series.

Komo said:

This is apparently the opening of the game, will be styled like this through the whole game, the timeskip they did here without a cut was great

bastardly · Jun 17, 2020

hope that's not it, they have a problem making a competent 'normal' campaign, dont need to add gimmicks and really go off the rails

Splader · Jun 17, 2020

If they take one thing from GoW, I hope it would be overall world design.

The semi-open world GoW did is what I want every open world game to do. Not so big that it's daunting, but not so small that it feels cramped.

Nah, you probably ain't even gonna notice it. It'll be like the trailer they had last year.

by doing this a lot (4:10 seconds in if the link doesn't go to the timestamp).

The takes were longish in the last trailer but there were certainly cuts. By necessity, a first-person game with third-person cutscenes has to have cuts.

Biosnake · Jun 17, 2020

Can't wait for the scene when Cortana is gonna be talking shit to him while he's on a mongoose to go get his CE pistol back.

Ahh you mean like that yeah I would love the entire game to be done this way but we will have to see.

Strangelove_77 · Jun 17, 2020

Does he throw a gun and it comes back to him? That'd kind of cool if it shot out bullets while it was coming back to you.

Yeah, I had the same thought.

Gestault · Jun 17, 2020

I feel like I'm being gaslit, at people not understanding how an FPS with a continuous camera could work.

Lol that gif is perfect for it.

Damn Silly · Jun 17, 2020

I don't think it added anything to GoW outside of being a technical achievement, but neat, I suppose!

The shot where he walks foward and the camera stays back is exactly what came to my mind reading the op. Or close enough at least.

It's good, old-fashioned concern trolling you're being hit with.

Not really. You can easily just pull the camera view out from one character's perspective into a wider shot.

Can`t believe I´m actually hyped for a Halo-game.

A lot of first person games are (mostly) like this without being "horrible". Games like RE7 or Outlast barely have any cuts.

Rover_ · Jun 17, 2020

curious on how it will be made since the transition to FPS has to be seamless and not overdone. i love me some continuous shooting <3

ZeroX · Jun 17, 2020

Eh I kind of consider the whole single shot thing in GOW to be a noble failure, really not psyched on other games doing it.

Crayon · Jun 17, 2020

They're going to give Halo a son.

1/2 hologram boi.

That's what I thought of too. If that's the way it's done I think it's pretty cool.
