Is the Xbox Series X being pushed hard enough?
Xbox Game Pass has some great single-player experiences, but nowadays, it's all about getting together with friends and family. Thankfully, there's a surprisingly extensive library of multiplayer titles on Game Pass to bring everyone together.
PS5-exclusive Helldivers 2 is so popular that Xbox players want a taste of democracy, and now Halo Forge will be the battleground for a Helldivers 2 remake.
Also.... Desperate Xbox players? I mean Helldivers2 looks ok, but I wouldn't call it anything to get desperate over..
God of War and the other exclusive are more worth desperation. I don't think I'm gonna even try Helldivers2, in still trying to beat Forbidden West, and I still of Ghosts, Ragnarok and TLOU2 to play
Helldivers 2 is a phenomenally good game. You should definitely check it out if you get the chance. Looks like the devs have the server capacity issue pretty much sewn up now so it's a good time to jump in.
I thought exactly like you, until I tried Helldivers 2... and then I was hooked.
The only thing that will stop me from playing it going forward is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth next week.
@gamer: “Also.... Desperate Xbox players? I mean Helldivers2 looks ok”
Lest be honest for a minute even Phil want it on Xbox and if it wasn’t desperation the forge player wouldn’t be trying to copy it 🤷🏿
I enjoy Helldivers 2 but it isn’t phenomenal or anything, its just a good game. Sure us ps5 players don’t have many multiplayer games so maybe that skews perspective. What we should be worrying about Is all the bugs and issues that STILL plague the game. It shouldn’t have been released in this state.
Are you saying Helldivers 2 graphics are better than Halo's? if so you need glasses , graphics has to be the worst part of Helldivers 2, I have seen better on the PS4
@Rdeal
It's not the best looking game around
but the graphics definitely look better than halo infinite. The destruction on display while also maintaining a steady performance is also very impressive.
I've also seen better on PS4, but I say the same for almost every Xbox Series X game this generation.
Why desperate Xbox fans? Why are we so split as a gaming community? So gamers wanting to play awesome games are not labeled desperate?
Just get a PS5 and be done with it. Four Xbox exclusives are making their way over with more to follow down the road.
Soon enough.

Probably within a year, but don't worry. They will still be available on the box of your choice, except if Switch is your choice.

Or just get a PC because all Xbox and PS games are coming to it sooner or later. Nintendo's the only company practicing true exclusivity nowadays.
Sony's present said first party games will be on pc and other platforms too. So what? And before you say he just meant "pc and playstation" that was debunked. Day 1 pc is definitely coming from Sony, ending your precious exclusives.
I remember the good old days of Halo 3 and the Forge. Some wild game games came from it.
Just let Coalition develop or at least assist in developing the next Halo ... 343 alone is not enough
They already assisted with development.
“Gears of War studio The Coalition helped out with Halo Infinite”
https://www.vg247.com/gears...
Then lead the next Halo development with 343 assisting instead ... as well as leverage some of the other new acquired studios if possible
That would be smart, but makes too much sense. BUT, The Coalition is pretty much dead, without Rod Ferguson, there's nothing there. That was the point of that team was that he was heading it up but even Rod Ferguson turned down being the boss and head of his own studio making Microsoft money to go to Blizzard, and isn't it ironic, look where's he's at now. Cliff Blezinski offered to go back to work on Gears and Xbox (one of their biggest IPs) shut him down and told him no. Gears put Xbox on the map, and they told him no. Sony wouldn't tell David Jaffe no if he asked to return to God of War or Twisted Metal, Jaffe is just to lazy, but Xbox shut down Blezinski, completely shocked me.
So, you're right, kinda, but that blood isn't there anymore, the soul of that team is gone so I don't think you'd get the quality you think that you would
“Then lead the next Halo development with 343 assisting instead ... as well as leverage some of the other new acquired studios if possible“
Certain Affinity would be good but who knows what’s happening there. And I’d suggest keeping CoD studios away from the franchise unless you want Halo of Duty.
Halo Infinite forge is a million times better. maps don't even look like forge made but look like actual dev created maps now
oh I bet, I just have fond memories of all the different things people came up with. I can only imagine what it's like now.
Hell yeah I remember the forge map toilet 😂 good times. Poo and paper everywhere
Don't get this mentality. Nothing is stopping these people from buying a PS5
I don't get fanboyism and refusing to purchase a competitors console.
I didn't used to get it, when is was Sega vs Nintendo, but now companies charging for online play, I dont wan to pay 2 separate subs, so you make a choice. also if you were to say invest in extra controllers for mates or whatever, I suppose it all adds up
You're thinking too much into it. Forge creators make anything and everything. This is nothing new. Call of duty and other games have been made in halo forge as well. I was just playing Nuketown and hot potato 2 weeks ago lol (hot potato fun asf btw)
Not everyone can afford it mate, some have kids, families etc to support. Very close minded statement, adults don't necessarily care which machine, but money's tight nowadays, bring them Helldivers so we can get the damn Halo & Gears armour on PS5 lol
I wanna see helgeist, scorpions, crimera, flying sting rays even some knack enemies etc
They hate Playstation to the point of insanity....yet want a Playstation game on Xbox so bad. These people don't even make sense in their OWN minds...
Agreed fella, same can be said for the playstation lot too though lol. We would all be over a gears collection, halo collection, Forza and ori
I hope all the persons who agreed with you have an Xbox. Being a multi-console owner is the best thing for a gamer. When Palworld came out I could boot up the Xbox and play it there. I also just started playing Helldivers 2 yesterday and I am having a great time with it.
The gunplay is good so persons who are on the fence for this reason, don't be. The gunplay in this can go up against Halo, Destiny, The Division 2 etc. The gameplay loop is also good with a reasonable progression system. It doesn't have any RPG mechanics so don't expect to see numbers popping up when you shoot an enemy. Progression in this game allows you to unlock cosmetics, weapons and air drops from orbit to aid you on your mission.
HA! All the while Xbox games are popping up in PS stores. To be honest, on day exclusivity will probably be gone and each will just provide a streaming service bundle, but why not have fun while we can.
You do know how to ask direct questions, right? This is a serious question.
They would have different app features, different UI's, timed exclusivity, and different video game series (live action and animation). Also the streaming services would be tied to mobile phones of choice (Sony vs MS; maybe even Nintendo will get in on this, phone thing.) which have their own reasons for purchasing.
Of course this is in the distant future. They don't call me the Oracle for no reason.
Exclusives... The answer was exclusives.
But, you being the Oracle you already knew that, didn't you?
"one day exclusivity will probably be gone"
Yes. I am the Oracle. When this happens you can say I am right.
A new update for Forza Motorsport has been announced that will remove the car upgrade progression limit. It will come out next month.
Beyond repair at this point the people have made up their minds on this game already. You had one chance and ya blew it
Obviously not for Halo as it is a cross gen game and started out initially for the base XBO. Forza could be as it is not a cross gen game. But there wasnt any gameplay shown so only time will tell. Exomecha looks interesting but one thing to keep in mind is games released at the beginning of a new hardware gen 'never' fully push the hardware and we tend to see the best ones that do mid way or towards the end of the gen. By then the devs figure out what can and cant work (and ways to make it work regardless).
Forza only I'd say, basically to be fair EVERYTHING except Halo Infinte
Nope. Not yet. Representations of possibly, fun games. But not of power. Halo didn't have that magic or that media sensation as when gamers saw the first, REAL gameplay video of Killzone 2. That was a wow moment the media talked about for weeks.
https://youtu.be/tQ1EU9CLJr...
It was dark, gritty and had destructible background objects. The media loved it. Halo is getting the opposite effect. Dogged for its graphics.
Forza should at least look good based on using photogrammetry. I know they'll use that a lot. Turn 10 just needs to lose the arcade style and go for a more simulator approach. Might give GT a real competition. When the FIA ignores you, you know you haven't reached the driving summit yet.
Exomecha looks exciting. Had to go look up the video. Like I was watching Transformers or something. But definitely not 12 teraflops of power.
Looks like we are going to have to wait to see the system's potential and by what developer. And I'm being nice.
This would have been a perfect time for Microsoft to have paid Epic to make their two demos a reality in a game. The Samaritan and Infiltrator.

Those would have been Microsoft Game Presentation Mic drops and where the 500 million should have went. Instead of the Mic slipping out of their hand and shattering into pieces like glass that Halo did.
A real missed opportunity to show all the bells, whistles and effects that the Series X can do.
Instead we got a mediocre visualisation from a PC build that has created a new series of memes and is now the laughing stock of the internet.
Could have made a huge impression and really showed people what was coming, but instead it just looks like more average Gamepass fodder with an apparent GaaS plan on the top to keep people buying. Shame.
