Looking back I think ppl were too hard on this game tbh

Andrew3361768d ago

Is this just like supposed to trigger people into an argument or something.

MadLad1768d ago

N4G wouldn't be around were it not for their divisive articles.
95% of the point of this site is for people to publicly announce that they like gaming platform A, therefore gaming platform B is complete garbage, and you're an idiot if you enjoy anything about it.

Father__Merrin1768d ago

No I really think ppl went in too hard on this, But I blame Microsoft and Sony for not declaring beforehand that next gen consoles are likely to have an extended Cross gen Cross over period

MadLad1768d ago

"But I blame Microsoft and Sony for not declaring beforehand that next gen consoles are likely to have an extended Cross gen Cross over period"

Eh.
MS was actually vocal about this.
It was Sony who were making "next gen" claims and that they would focus only on the PS5.

MS was transparent.
It was Sony who used clever PR speak to make it seem they were 100% focusing on the PS5 going forward.

BehindTheRows1768d ago (Edited 1768d ago )

Though I agree with you to a very slight extent (many of your takes I'm fervently against), in this instance, Ryan still said this in June 2020 (referencing the piece you're talking about):

"We have always said that we believe in generations. We believe that when you go to all the trouble of creating a next-gen console, that it should include features and benefits that the previous generation does not include. And that, in our view, people should make games that can make the most of those features.

"We do believe in generations, and whether it's the DualSense controller, whether it's the 3D audio, whether it's the multiple ways that the SSD can be used... we are thinking that it is time to give the PlayStation community something new, something different, that can really only be enjoyed on PS5."

Thus far, they are the only console maker of the two to provide exclusive, only-can-be-had-experiences on PS5 (including the controller, which was not something we got on the PS4). Their UI is also something new and not a copy/paste like the Xbox Series X's is from the One. Yes, I too was disappointed when I heard that some heavy hitters were also headed to PS4, but we still have next generation-only games from them and they have the better balance of the two companies.

@behind

Virtually everything was voiced after the fact. After the release of the system.

Rude-ro1768d ago

Microsoft was not really making games so why would anyone think they would have a next gen game? They are over a decade now for not making any new AAA games.

Sony has next gen games, so why would people be misled by Sony?

MadLad1767d ago

"Why would people be misled by Sony"

Because Sony was misleading in how they handled speaking on how they were handling upcoming titles?

They literally took jabs at MS when they announced they'd be supporting both generations of consoles.
And then turned around and also supported both generations of consoles....

They happily let customers assume they were all about the PS5, and then only brought up cross generation support after release.

So yeah .... they were being disingenuous.

Again though, Microsoft was up front about supporting cross gen. Long before they released the current gen of Xbox.
It was Sony who was being shady about it, only speaking on it after the PS5 released, where everyone was now going to find out anyway.

They wanted to sell as many PS5s as possible, and knew they'd get more people interested in adopting early if they thought they would be missing out on more games than they actually are.

Tacoboto1767d ago

A Sony game trailer is still up with the same "Get Ready For Next Gen" text on YouTube.

One of their cross-gen games announced as a next-gen only title (could apply to almost everything they have announced, actually)

DaMist1768d ago

Hmm I got a halowaypoint email saying i was invited to the test and to wait for a following email for more info on how to join and nothing. sucks.

Kerppamaister1768d ago

Did you check your spam and trash folders?

aconnellan1768d ago

They’ve only just started coming out now

Sitdown1768d ago

Have you gotten through the website?

franwex1768d ago

Can’t wait to play this on my og xbone :/

MadLad1767d ago

I feel for you lol
The thing wasn't exactly a powerhouse when it was released; let alone now.

Halo Infinite Content Support Update Ending on November 18

Halo Infinite's live service updates will be ending with Operation: Infinite set to be released on November 18, 2025.

-Foxtrot206d ago

So much for that 10 year platform plan

darthv72206d ago

...and its barely been 4 years. LMAO

DarXyde205d ago

Halo Infinite?
Hell no, It's Finished.

... I'll see myself out.

crazyCoconuts205d ago

Taking the "in" out of Infinite

RaidenBlack205d ago

... and he broke into the attic again and got his drums back.

Yang_kai205d ago

Well good luck with the next game, been on almost all systems will help the game life and strengthen their community with fresh blood.

RaidenBlack205d ago

no MP till Halo 7, as per leak
Don't know if it'll release parallelly with Halo 2R or Halo 3R or totally after the trilogy of remakes.

Inverno205d ago

Onto the next 10 year promise! When that turns out to be more Unreal slop you can drop it and promise the same for the game after.

franwex205d ago (Edited 205d ago )

I’m one of the 15 people that regularly play this. Oh well. Hopefully the game will retain a small dedicated player base.

Halo art director leaves studio after 17 years with ominous message alluding to discontent

Glenn Israel writes: "As of today and after seventeen long years, I am officially no longer contributing to the Halo universe. There is little more I can say for the moment, though I intend to share this particular story in its entirety when it is absolutely safe to do so next year. In the meantime, I have a message for anyone and everyone who needs to hear it.

I know that the state of our industry seems dire, but never forget that you are *free to choose*. No illusion of security nor promise of wealth or fame or power is worth trading away your health, your dignity, your ethics or values - and no one can force you to. Stay strong, take evidence when necessary, and find where you belong."

My god.
There's a story for next year.

VenomUK233d ago

I’m really disappointed to learn there are still people/morale problems. I thought the whole point of rebranding 343i to Halo Studios was to signal that real changes had been made - not to cynically rebrand to paper over the problems.

I really hope the Halo CE remake is great and gets people hyped for the future of the series.

DarXyde233d ago

It's inevitable with the modern landscape. Even if some issues have been assuaged, new ones crop up all the time.

I'm willing to bet AI and the lack of regulation is causing substantial upset.

shinXseijuro233d ago (Edited 233d ago )

He said something very marking . We tend to complain a lot about the industry but deep down I realize that we never have we been offered this crazy amount of games all available for you to play now . You can literally play any sorts of games in 2025 . Nobody is forcing you to buy the latest COD or the latest BF . You’re more of a 8 bit cozy gaming guy there’s a whole niche of modern games for that . You like micromanaging there’s games for that . I feel like we have been spoiled so much we just stopped being realistic and thinking for ourselves . We follow trends cry about stuff online when you are the buyer you have the power .

Notellin233d ago

I'm not buying any games until another Immersive sim is made.

PhillyDonJawn233d ago

....wth happened over there?
Does this confirm a new Halo by next year?
What did they want him to do that made him feel it was morally wrong or a insult to his integrity?

-Foxtrot233d ago

Well how about that, a name change doesn’t fix internal issues

Who would have thought

jznrpg233d ago

MS was throwing money around for a long time but now it’s time to pay the Piper.
