Nagh. Whilst I agree more spotlight and emphasis should be placed on other games, we shouldn't be putting lids on people's excitement. This is fricking Halo - Xbox's bread and butter, an industry defining property, and a series which millions have formative memories with - tent-poling the launch of a new generation of hardware, after 5 years of quiet. It warrants all the discussion, speculation, excitement, trepidation and more, and frankly it wouldn't be a Halo launch without it.
Even considering the time spent on the engine I agree. I can't wait to have my mind blown.
If Perfect Dark is Reboot. Is will be Third Person Action/aventure with infiltration deep system.
In terms of universe yes. But is game more than 20 years.
if you think they will be held back by this. Lol.
Perfect dark third person, like Ghost in the shell vibe needed, with traversal like Spiderman/Sunset overdrive.
It's funny you mention traversal. I remember a tweet from Drew Murray very early on when the studio was just born how the team walked through the streets of Santa Monica looking for movement possibilities or something like that. I can't remember the exact wording. With the animation lead and team and The Initiative, I expect to be the resource "animation" being really important for the game.
LOL OH. I don't remember hearing that about Perfect Dark but maybe I missed something.
I can't wait for halo. I do hope that they keep 4 player coop again
If the rumours are all true
I hope you mean online coop. Cause my mind would explode if it's 4 player splitscreen.
I feel like in a dev diary they were going to reimplement sc? Or am I tripping?
Yeah that is what I meant.
Yes but no way they do more than 2 player splitscreen.
Well presumably that would be how it is yes. It's the same way on PC in most cases.
And likely some are enhanced at 4K too
MS new strategy.
Uuuuhhhh... yes please, I love the Ghost in the Shell world
Gotta say, the facial animation and skin rendering in Halo Infinite look amazing. And that first person POV...
I already reiterated on that again and again.
Exactly. People must stop obsessing on new IP vs old IP. A game can be awesome or totally forgettable regardless of the attached IP. I understand some want fresh experiences, but you can have them with old IPs too (see GoW). And I understand some care about the marketing and nostalgic power of well-known old IPs, but new IPs can have great marketing impact too, based only on their strengths and the ones of their developers (see Sekiro).
Missed it! Applied, thanks. Awesome giveaway :D
Why should they be based on Xbox One? I'ts like saying that every PC game is based on the weaker configuration. Why can't they base it on SX hardware and then scale it back cutting not only graphics but features too (ie. seamless vs loading screens), when needed?
A big leap in graphics, scale and complexity. It just blows my mind that a game such as Infinite will run on an ancient Xbox One with its weak Jaguar CPU.
Sea of Thieves runs well on an 8 year old GPU with 1 GB of RAM and an even older CPU. This didn't prevent the game from being one of the technically best-looking games this generation on Xbox One X (and even more so on a powerful PC).
You can check it out for yourself in 2 weeks when the Closed Beta is happening :)
Not really, Sea of Thieves has a big community and they may bring some news before E3, actually. I don't think XSX will do any favours to this game.
