As well as launching on Game Pass on PC and console and it being cross gen. It will likely be the highest engagement ever for a Halo game.

I agree. It is absolutely a "no-win" situation, but pretending last year's gameplay demo wasn't a colossal disaster isn't the answer. They should acknowledge the technical problems from last year's demo and show that they've fixed them. It seems unlikely the game is getting delayed again so people will be playing it this year. There's no reason to hide anything now. It's too late for something like a well-edited single-player trailer (the route they probably should have taken last year). If they do that this year, it will look like they're hiding the single-player and "confirm" skeptics beliefs that the single-player is broken somehow.
Good points and we even left of crossplatform play! I'd say ZERO DOUBT it'll be the largest.
I don't think showing the old footage again would be smart, because people want to see new stuff. Having said that I think they should show something from the campaign, but not the same sections. Why? Well, I think the stream quality just won't be good to make comparison's, especially if it's a 1080 low bit rate stream. But as we know, certain people wouldn't be stopped from doing comparisons between the versions, even if it doesn't make sense due to the stream quality.
What I would do as 343 however is letting DF or other outlets playing the old demo to do comparisons and then talk about the visual improvements. I'd also do a blog post with 4K screenshots.
Man Grubb's comments have actually put a bit of downer on for me. I consider myself a Halo ass Halo fan but I was still hoping for a pretty significant showing at E3 with campaign and multiplayer. I loved Halo 5 multiplayer but I was also hoping for some unique take on BR. Jeff kind of poo poo'ed that :(
Keep in mind, there's a reason I put "He thinks..." on almost every bullet point. This seemed like most speculation with a little bit of knowledge from sources in there.
Honestly, I'm generally unsure what to feel on Halo. Despite playing 1-3 and at least enjoying 2 and 3 a lot.........I kinda am just struggling to care or be excited for Infinite. If I was hoping to see more of anything it was campaign, but welp.
Hope it's not a super long showing. I'm open to trying Halo Infinite's MP, but honestly I haven't gone super deep into a multiplayer thing in years, and the main reason is just how infested with MTs multiplayer games are nowadays.
If it weren't for gamepass Infinite would probably be an easy skip for me.

Yeah, I am hoping that he hasn't heard everything they plan to show!
Thought that they would have learned from 2019 that it is not a good idea to just show MP. IMO people aren't worried about MP they are worried about campaign. And not showing it there when it will have the most attention is just gonna make people believe MS are just trying to hide something.
It will be shown in a story trailer featuring gameplay and cutscene snippets, but like every Halo ever they don't want to spoil really anthing about the campaign. Multiplayer will be the focus and push right into public flighting/beta.
That's fine. For me the biggest thing Infinte needs to accomplish is to make Halo MP relevant again. Halo should have the same engagement numbers as FH4 does now. Constantly being in the top 10-15 most played Xbox games. Ideally be around the same level as Destiny, Roblox and Rocket League.
Edit: I am talking about months after release.
I know but Jeff makes it sound like not to expect anything on campaign at E3. Which I just think would be a dumb idea.
Second letter in "Xbox" is b. First letter in "favorite" is f. BF6 on Game Pass confirmed.
Im interested in how they they sell it too. Thats still the most surprising thing Xbox has done. Every other move has been about Game Pass but the biggest release for XGS has F2P multiplayer.
Finished up Recore over the weekend. Great but flawed game. Really deserves another shot with better budget, I think. So many interesting idea and fun combat. Lots of random bugs and annoying design though.
On to the next!
On to the next!
I doubt Joseph Staten is editing together a trailer for multiplayer, there will absolutely be a story/campaign trailer. Having watched the video now, he is clearly just speculating anyway.
Backbone, eh? Kinda looks like a pixel-art version of Blasksad: Under the Skin. Neat.
you get a campaign and all the challenges that come with it. This means campaign-specific challenges, rewards etc.
Exactly. When the Bethesda news broke, everyone was going on about how Sony *needed* to buy a big publisher to answer Microsoft. How Xbox was playing unfair, etc etc. Now that the news is old, it seems small. As others have said in this thread, the gravity of this situation wont be felt until one of the bigger Bethesda games becomes exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem.
Though I still am of the mind that Xbox can't allow Sony to continue paying to keep games off of xbox. Especially these big games. Even the smaller ones like fall guys hurt Xbox a lot when that game blew up.
Also there will be flighting. So MP will get alot of love and you even can play it before launch.
They should indeed focus on SP wich probably as the biggest reach also. Offcourse show some MP stuff also. But shouldnt be the main course.
Yeah I think they usually have a big Game Pass announcement at E3, which is around the time they would drop the 2nd batch of Game Pass games this month, so makes sense for this batch to be small so they can make a huge Game Pass announcement at E3
Also, I'll enjoy it either way , and it's not "that" big of a deal, but I hope with all the changes they're doing to make a "Halo fan's Halo" that they get rid of sprint and the ground pound (can't remember the official name). I may just be a nostalgic person reminiscing in what I consider peak Halo, but with the return of the old artstyle, it would be fun if they returned to a modern take of the old gameplay too. Though with F2P I doubt it happens
got spoiled partially on the ending of RE8, and not sure if I should be bummed or not lol.
Was a ways out from playing RE8 either way, but kind of a bummer.

That's exactly what I am thinking, the calm before the storm.
Yeah as an old-ass halo-ass ass-fan, they really figured out some good stuff in regards to halo 5's gameplay
5's gameplay was generally well received by fans
not every choice was a home run, and the lack of BTB was devastating plus the maps were generally poor, but there were some lessons learned with halo 5 that I hope are not entirely forgotten for Infinite
halo doesnt have to mean 2007 any more than Doom had to mean 1993, it just needs authenticity in its evolution (not just taking other popular games and cramming them into this game, like CoD for Halo 4)
but it remains to be seen if infinite will do that successfully
RE games aren't really good story-wise. I'd say play it for the gameplay.
if you have bad memory maybe but the time you play you'll forget all about it. either way it sucks to be spoiled
Doom 2016 SP campaign is the best Halo ass Halo game since Reach or at least the closest any game has felt to Halo.
story in these games have always struck me as kinda weird and rather goofy lol, think it's mostly just frustration of missing out, but yeah I was gonna play them for gameplay mostly.
Still like this shot from the trailer. Its looks clean. Especially the ground
yeah parts looked amazing, can't wait for a new SP trailer
So I just got one of those Series X consoles this past weekend (through the Insider upgrade path which was pretty neat). Any suggestions on games to play to really show off the new hardware? I was playing Outriders and Prey this weekend, but wanted to know if I'm missing any standouts in the GP library.
Battlefield would be a gamechanger to go on Game Pass day 1 (and I'd definitely play it), but man personally I was hoping the big Day 1 game would've been Dying Light 2 or even Far Cry 6 lol, just in terms of my preferences
