Halo Infinite [Fall 2021] [XO, XBSX|S, PC, XGP]

Yeah, it's basically gaas like destiny. So an overhaul, content drop, etc post release are a good thing to keep things fresh

 

They did commit to a graphics patch a couple of months after launch, I wonder when it will end up releasing now

 

No idea honestly.

game in motion still looks great to me. Playing it on a 4k 120hz screen was a great experiance.

But in all honesty the delay will only be a good thing. It gives them more time to work on content , it gives them time to finish the enhancements for the series family. They are also sold out of xbox series systems. So this gives them a shot in the arm as holiday sales start to tamper off.

It will now be part of the game at launch. its what they are working on now including ray tracing and other features added along with a pass over all textures replacing them with higher quality ones

 

Halo should have been a launch game, its the xbox title. But if they can release it in much better state graphics wise later, i can totally live with that.

 

Launch titles aren't needed. People complain there is nothing new on the xbox but its sold out at launch and through the holiday. After the holiday they can start showing off how halo looks with its new graphics and all the content that will be in the game and release it in spring which is when shipments will catch up with demand and hopefully for microsoft it will spur console sales.

 

because it was a 2016 xbox one title that got pushed to a xbox one / x title that then became a 2020 xbox series title .

 

maybe a 2017 then. My time line is screw as i get older . But the game was originally an xbox one game before xbox one x was even a thing.

 

I think most of 2021 will be tough for MS - but when their 1st party studio will start pumping the content it will be more interesting.
I see PS5 dominating 2021 by a huge margin - the whole of 2021 is full of various games, but MS has...none basically (unless some surprise announcements....MS really need to step up with some Asian titles).

 

I can mostly agree with this, that's why they are putting so much into Gears 5 update to tide people over. If Halo Infinite turns out amazing though and is available by Fall 2021 MS should be in good shape.

 

I'm gonna spend most of 2021 playing all the Xbox titles, i missed out on this Gen since i was PS4 only.
Looking forward to Halo 5, and probably replaying the entire MCC collection, should finish just in time for Infinite!

 

I'm a big Halo fan, but got really into table top gaming for most of the Xbox One generation so I haven't played anything since Reach. I'm trying to get my son to play through the MCC with me on XSX. He was only 3 when Halo came out. Either that or I'll catch up on my own before Infinite comes out.

Now coming Fall 2021

 

I can’t tell if those are screen shots or concept art?

 

I figure they'll go for the 20th Anniversary of Halo CE on November 15, 2021.

 

From the article they appear to be shots from one of the multiplayer maps.

Also, this came out funny in my head...

In the context of the first paragraph, the second paragraph came across as a ... how should I say, polite way of saying, "This M*@#$@$F#$@ing engine! AAUUUGGGGHHHH!"

At least when I think back on what some of the people that worked on Halo Infinite have said about the engine.
