The art style is a big reason why it looks so nice. They describe the art style as having "legacy aesthetics" with "a more vibrant palette, "cleaner" models and objects with less "noise", though it doesn't mean less detail". I cannot properly express how much I love that they've chosen to go back to a classic look.
Hmmm, free-to-play Halo would be a megaton.
Sea of Thieves was hanging out at the top of the lsit during the summer sale despite not being discounted. Honestly, the staying power there is kinda bonkers. Very well deserved, mind. But still!
Complete global saturation
Mm. Yes and no. This is something that has already transcended the simulator community into broader gamer consciousness and it could not have come at a better cultural moment. People who have never touched a flight sim will be considering picking this up, and reviews from people like them will still matter. I would not be surprised if the initial groups of people playing this game would include a significant population of people who have never bought a flight sim before - indeed, its place near the top of the charts practically guarantees it.
I'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean release on Xbox One, but delay the Series X launch? Or are you saying release the games early..? I'm not sure what the benefit of doing either would be, to be honest.
For many, they will just play BC Forza titles with 4k60 upgrades but Dirt 5 would be a great GP title to add to the launch lineup.
I think it would show that people are expecting way too much on the basis of vague rumors (many thought third party title = Cyberpunk or Batman)
It would be huge! I'm very interested to see how they're dropping the Gold paywall with this.
Wow, that's huge.Someone may have leaked some marketing materials early.
F2P, 120fps.

I can't disagree more. FPS is king. I'd take 60fps or 120fps over extra visual detail literally any day.
PC gamers who vastly prefer Steam over MS Store.
Very good to see them speaking candidly about graphics, even including a shoutout to the excellent DF analysis video.
Halo Community Update - Infinite Inquiries
In the past two weeks we've unveiled Halo Infinite, launched Halo 3 on PC as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, helped raise money for a good cause, released tons of Halo gear, and so much more. Since this is a pretty hefty Community Update, let's jump right in!www.halowaypoint.com
Some good info here. The Infinite demo was weeks old btw.
I'm not anxious about them cheapening the franchise, as the Singleplayer seems to be more important than ever.
Im not sure those numbers will be that huge if it has free to play multiplayer
The first one like fortnite anyone can just download the multiplayer for free
That's pretty cool. I wasn't really bothered by it either tbh. Still, I know that I was probably in the minority on that, so people should be happy now.
Very few people have 120Hz sets, so offering a "quality" 60fps mode should not be unreasonable.
