The tech preview was amazing, so polished. Made me realise after a decade I need Halo multiplayer again. For me this is a mistake and the only design choice that leaves me scratching my head from the tech preview.
Before the tech preview I was all about 2042, and even insurgency sandstorm on the shooter front for consoles this holiday. Now I'm just waiting for Halo to come back into my life 🤣
If they never intended of reaching the initial announced release window then its deceitful. That's obviously just speculation and a massive "if" though. I'm thinking last 1/4 of 2022 or feb/mar 2023. Sony have had plenty of success with those feb/mar launches.
This was expected and Febs not too long...cant wait! Sony suggesting Ragnarok was ever coming in 2021 was deceitful and simply a reach to generate hype. Even if they could of got it ready to launch I personally think there is a fat chance in hell that Sony would ever release these two games within 6mths of each other at the bare minimum. GOD of War could be 2023 know, just saying. Don't really care either, as long as it's the game is as amazing as the last!
To those out there saying playground make visually impressive racing games. You're seriously selling the series short. Horizon games look great and play particularly wellbut it's the off rails nature of the open world and how that interacts with the vehicles that leaves it in a field of it's own. This series sets a bench mark in racing as a whole in the same manner as Naughty Dog for 3rd person action adventure.
I do think that we shouldn't be seeing 30fps ...
No the cpu bottleneck is a thing. 30fps on Halo infinite tech preview is testament to that.
They're not a powerhouse but they're successful
and they're doing everything possible to justify me opening my wallet. With so much first party in there pocket coming to gamepass day one the constant stream of positive press will only build substantially as this gen progresses. Will they outsell PS, of course not but they will do enough to stop the market share gaps from extending any further than they already are and if the positive gamepass PR reaches the levels I'...
@masterfox, well you obviously never played the tech preview.
Loving my series x, but these comparisons on back compat games that are tied to ps4 pro and and xb 1x are pretty stupid IMO. Cant' wait for the next gen patch to drop for this!
Here's some average 4k gameplay from an unlisted vid on youtube. I captured this on the xb sx internal dvr

I just played for the last 2hrs for the first time. No issues so far. Weapons feel precise and have real hit to them. So keen to see how the vehicles feel. This could be something very, very good. Halo gameplay just feels like is it's own thing in the saturated FPS space. Here's hoping because gaming and the FPS genre in particular are in a far better state when Halo's part of the conversation.

@Neutralgamer1942 "Bethesda can update because they have the backing of a trillion dollar company" Really mate, that's a cop out! Pretty sure 4A isn't a trillion dollar company and they dropped that excellent next gen update for Metro Exodus free of charge! I know plenty who missed that game last gen and are purchasing the game for the 1st time recently. Many of these people will now buy there next title because of the experience. If done right, when you put the consumer fir...
@ufo8mycat....my thoughts exactly
No just primarily certain aspects of graphics. Game design decisions will always be limited by hardware.
Kinda.........Jim's the man! Hired to go undercover by Phil himself
Everything you said there makes complete sense.....so enjoy the disagrees.
I've got no doubt he's all for it while it's only PS holding the collection plate. As much as I'm super keen to see console crossplay become the standard I say props to gearbox and other publishers that boycott potentially coughing up $$$. Do this and when the dust settles the industry will be in a better place, with more choice for us consumers.
For the record these shenanigans are not exclusive to Sony. Who ever holds a dominant % of market share like this...
Hunt showdown is nearly my fav game of last gen. So unique and so much tension!!!
Curious if they announce an acquisition or two here, with the persistent rumors of xbox being in talks with Crytek, Avalanche and IO interactive and all that.
Quanitiny my be the one area Xbox will trump them. How many of Xbox first party title in current development do you honestly believe will fail to launch there game? Seriously it's simple maths. Quality and market share. Xbox taking over market share is completely out of the question and quality is extremely unlikely even though I expect they'll be more competitive in this space. Bethesda alone is worth considering. The launch games with bugs. But games like skyrim and fallout are tes...
Mkis007 Fan noise matters....my ps4 pro was the only console I've owned where the noise was distracting (even when wearing a headset). Sounded like a jet engine running God of War. To be fair I did game with it on a pc monitor so I was always sitting fairly close.
Changed the thermal paste and the fan and it was quiete as a mouse. Still shouldn't of had to do that to a 2yo console that was only being used about 5hrs per week.
Fortunately it sound...
