Halo fans haven’t got a new game since 2015’s Halo 5: Guardians, and, unfortunately, the next game in the series won’t be here for some time yet. Halo Infinite has been announced, but the game is currently without a release date – it likely won’t arrive until 2020, at the earliest. So, what’s the holdup exactly?
Right before the full reveal of Warframe 1999 at TennoCon, we chatted with Ben Starr about the responsibility of stepping into such a huge franchise.
Rare, the developer behind pirate adventure Sea of Thieves, has introduced a dedicated dog park to its studio grounds for employees' good boys and girls.
Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.
Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"
Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.
Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.
I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.
A new PlayStation Malaysia tour video shows what looks to be concept art for Bluepoint's next game.
I think that’s a screensaver if you look to the right it looks more like a fantasy game and so does the concept art leaked earlier. Who knows though
Unless that structure/pillar thingy in the right picture is long forgotten technology it's futuristic.
Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.
With there same look on the right a arena setting this might be live service game #5 from sony
So a live service shooter like concord.....
It looks like a fantasy game on the right screen. You are looking at a screensaver.
Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.
Oh please no... Don't release a Halo 5.5 that would be lazy... Do it the right way; It can't be that hard, it is an awesome franchise... Stay away from the easy path: treat the IP with respect, don't try to over milk it, take good care of all the aspects that make a great game (all of them not just the ones you think will give you money). Don't try to make just another generic sci-fy shooter; try to blow everyone's mind... Because that was Halo in the past: the best damn game I've ever experienced... That should be your goal
Not even bored of Halo 5s multiplayer yet. It's the shooting game for me.
I’d hate for them to take so long to develop this game and it doesn’t end up being the best Halo game of all time undisputedly
It'll be a GAAS boring open world loot driven shooter with microtransactions built into its core progression, light RPG elements and crafting. They've looked at Destiny and want a piece of that pie, same as what EA did with Anthem. An on-going service game where thousands of players are buying microtransactions every week. That's what their main shareholders will be asking for and the top execs who make millions in bonuses alone every year will want that too. They don't play games, all they think about is the money they could potentially earn them and that means following the latest trends, developing games to manipulate you into spending more cash on them.
To think anything else would be insane.
343 aren't spending 5+ years developing a standalone story driven Halo game, that's not economical considering it may launch with a brand new console (no installed base). If it's cross gen then they can only realistically expect it to sell maybe around 5 million copies on the XB1 and that's simply not going to generate enough profit for a team of around 500 people working on the game for around 5 years.
GAAS is the only possible outcome I can see I'm afraid.
A new engine and more time in the oven will make infinite a genre defining experience
