On the bright side, Crackdown 3 is probably never getting ported. So that is one permanent console exclusive.

It's still in development, as CyberAgent (Cygames' parent company) financial results presentation published on January 31 included Project Awakening.
I'm glad this was actually addressed, game has looked just not right ever since launch.
That's just untrue. I keep seeing this parroted (the only way xbox will get indies or whatever is through game pass deals/exclusive deals) but we get dozens of games every week that are not game pass releases on Xbox and are not exclusive. Also: late ports that are not Game Pass bound. The exclusive deals are because the deals are good for the developers, not because it's the only "guarantee" they'll get the games. that's nonsense.
as always, great post.
The gamma changes are crazy cuz you couldn't even see the racing stripes on the car before 😭 (and this was comparing to Update 2 which did have some gamma changes vs launch iirc?).
the car crevices and the rocks in the distance actual look self shadowed (even if that's not really the case) by being darker.

Starting next week, the MCC style "Exchange" is going to become available in Halo Infinite. You get Spartan Points by playing the game and can exchange them for skins and cosmetics and whatnot in the Exchange. These are things that came from past events that were no longer accessible, etc. Awesome!
Plus completely new stuff. Operations will update the exchange content. You get SP for your Play of the Day, and the Weekly Ultimate reward now.
The Operation pass is now basically a set of armor + Spartan Points to then spend in the Exchange.
was gonna post that, shame the new event pass is pretty much is all points lmao
Finally the correct black tones, that old gray shadows was so shitty. I will download the game again.
Yeah I just got to that point. A bit of a shame, but at least the Exchange will have new shit in it so instead of it being in the pass you just go to the Exchange to pick it up. But if you don't like it you can spend it on something else in the Exchange. Seems alright, but def a bit "bland".
So is there any way to look up the Backwards Compatible games section, or is it just luck when it pops up on Store?
man it's evident how the game (halo infinite) is on life support lol such a shame. think it had a real chance at a comeback after season 5 if they kept at it
343 does everything with the Flood but add them back in the games as enemies, the T esrb rating is not worth it.Alien flora palette and Flood palettes in Forge available starting next week.
Do wonder what the plan for the series is in the short term
MCC is no longer getting major updates
Infinite is on support mode pretty much
Show didn't do much for player numbers
just kind of feel like the series itself it just costing in its niche

this looks cool.
don't think there are any short term plans tbh. i imagine they're working on the game of the franchise.
Just weird that THE Xbox series could legit be in limbo for awhile

Motorsport is in a much better place now but man, Turn 10 really tarnished their reputation with this one. Even now, there are such obvious lack of polish issues. If you Skip practice before a race, the focus changes back to start practice before the load screen. Don't worry, the practice is still skipped.
I don't really mind that though. I like that they're keeping significant items in the pass and then give us points to spend on things we actually want to get. I'm just hoping the exchange has a good variety of content.
I've just accepted vehicles have been trash since Reach and will remain as such. It should go back to player health based like 2-3, but it never will
yeah it's definitely better, i just wished there was a _bit_ more of content in the event passes.
Times change. Call of Duty stole the Mt. Dew chugging dudebro crowd and the FPS market is more saturated than ever.
Halo hasn't done much to attract any new audiences in the last 10 years
That's very true. I'd definitely like more meaningful content if possible. Maybe 30-40 tiers or something? Hopefully they take in more feedback and continue iterating.
I am a *little* concerned about XP rates though with the Play a Match earning you SP instead of XP. Previously you got like 500 XP just for playing a game for the day which was like 1000 with DXP active. Maybe that'll be the same for the *second* match now, but otherwise it could be a pretty big nerf to XP rates making you have to play 2-4 more games lol
definitely weird but halo infinite did a lot of damage imo. i love the game but it clearly didn't do well and they probably went back to the drawing board for the franchise.
Oh I am well aware, I've even fallen out of the series and I was BIG into it.
the 343 era has honestly just had way too many missteps and while it had some good highs (MCC PC) those have even had it's issues (no modded CGB or console mods is still wack as hell to me) that it's going to take a reboot or a long sleep for people to get into it all again imho.
What's extra wild, I think if they would have just waited the extra year (again) so they actually had content ready to go and forge + CGB ready for content creators? Shit would probably has sustained for much longer.
Halo 4 - Weird choices for the MP to be more like CoD, some very weird choices in overall lore
Halo 5 - Great MP, bland art style for the most part, GOD AWFUL story and lore choices
MCC Launch - I don't think I even need to speak for this one
Infinite- Alright story actually, bare bones MP content which was their "bread and butter" for $$$
Halo Show - Even if it did do well with regular viewers, it's SUPER clear it did nothing for long standing fans like TLOU, Witcher or Fallout did for their player base numbers or sales.
Extended Lore - Honestly just a bunch of weird choices here.
My thoughts exactly. For all the technical mastery and achievement, the impact of all that work on gameplay/building a believable world is way below what games like Halo had put on the table back in 2002. And sure, you can argue Starfield is an open-world RPG, but even if we look at it from that perspective, the emphasis on small procedurally generated areas with points of interest kills a lot of the "living world" element that was so prevalent in Skyrim/F4. Unlike you, I'd honestly rather have them ditch the engine so they can more easily improve on some of the longtime issues that the community has had with BGS titles (including what you mentioned) than preserve the "potential" to watch a couple of YouTube videos about sandwich dominoes or whatever, but even if they had to keep CE I'd be happy with a cohesive experience more akin to their previous games. Probably wishful thinking but I hope they take a more hand-crafted, less "follow arrow to the 100-th POI" approach to the DLC.
Nah, the vast majority of NV hardliners also love the first two entries.
The damage is done for this entry, imo.
Even if they can get the game back on track at some point, they completely lost the momentum. What a waste.

Maybe I'm missing some context, but it is available through the Xbox PC app.
Forza Horizon 3 on the other hand, due to licensing, will probably never get a Steam release and be stuck in the Xbox app.
I feel like it makes more sense to quote Tim Cain on this. Sawyer reasonably acts like an outsider because he really joined the franchise for New Vegas (or Van Buren if you're nitpicky). If Cain were to be bothered that would make more sense as he has way more artistic merit re: Fallout than most people at either Obsidian or Bethesda, but even he was like "jeez chill folks" which goes to show how much some classic Fallout fans overreacted lol.
Really nice interview btw, I won't get tired of pointing out how chasing the voice acting fever hurt the development of the game. It was a lot of text to voice for the sales they ended up getting. Hopefully Sawyer gets enough time and resources for his next project.
I like the changes that are coming with the new Infinite operation. Sure, its nothing too significant but good changes overall.
Crackdown and Prototype made the top 10
Just saw this pending chat message 😭 guess I steamrolled this guy in Halo Infinite in some match forever ago. truly flattered someone thinks I'm cheating though
edit: I found the game lmao it wasn't even anything special. CTF on Elevation.
I thought maybe he was one of the dudes in a game where my KDA was like 26

Watched the vid and the alien planet biome looks so cool and it makes me sad we are never getting DLC.Alien flora palette and Flood palettes in Forge available starting next week.
Saw that and have the same concern. Better not be that because I will simply not do it. lol
Glad to see Rare acknowledge the game is broken when diving and a fix is incoming soon.
