How many doubted this day would ever come? It’s great for PlayStation that it’s getting one of the most iconic FPS games. As PS5 will likely have the largest user base for Halo Microsoft will likely prioritise it. That’s why the Halo Studios community manager wore the Halo t-shirt, to explicitly welcome the PlayStation community on board because the franchise needs them to succeed.
I remember when Xbox said PlayStation wasn’t its biggest competition… it was Stadia.
Just because you don’t want to be compared, it doesn’t mean you’re not playing the same game.
Halo on PlayStation was the final harbinger of truth - Xbox is OFFICIALLY dead. And I for one will grieve for what could’ve been. 🪦
You just know Good Guy Phil went to the developers and said ‘make all versions the best you can’ wink, wink! 😉
Tomb Raider Anniversary.
@ApocalypseShadow - Thank you for sharing your feedback. What are your thoughts about, going forward, Microsoft should now make all Nintendo games and annualise them, and the part about Halo's Master Chief should appear in Super Mario games to allow you to avoid puzzles by shooting everything instead?
Miyamoto is one of the grandfather's of the industry, he knows that Nintendo is on borrowed time making video games as the tastes change and in 20 years time everybody will be streaming games on Game Pass.
Nintendo is showing great foresight moving into focusing on family friendly movies, a Kirby movie could help Nintendo become bigger than Disney. I speak for everyone on N4G when I say that Nintendo, rather than waste time churning out more milquetoast, it should sell...
I have a launch PS5 Pro and it could definitely be quieter. Whenever playing more demanding games the fans come on. I don’t want to overstate the loudness, it’s not so loud to be disruptive but it is there.
What's interesting is that in another story it turns out Sony WAS in contact with Tencent and visited the Chinese company to discuss creating a Last of Us spin-off!

That’s exactly what happened to me!

It makes sense. A freebie to enable new users to see what’s on offer and become invested in the PlayStation ecosystem.
This is a comparison that it’s interesting to know to understand the performance difference. However, a person in the market for a Switch 2 is not going to be considering a Rog Xbox Ally which is double the price.
I must be one of those with an older account because, on occasion, when I try to open my notifications a box comes up and a circle loading thingy just keeps loading. Not all the time. Sometimes i still get the perennial website won’t load problem, and I hope that a long term strategy for improving the reliability of N4G can be strategised and actioned.
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.
I get the impression Sony WILL be making a PlayStation 6!
Isn't this the DLC that was paid for by the Saudi government?
@RauLeCreuset I think I was being hyperbolic with the paid shill comment! But you know what? Your explanation that Jez is shilling for the influence is probably dead on. It's also how Microsoft use him and Tom Warren from the Verge to distribute their messages, unofficially.
There's a video interview with Lina Khan https://x.com/JamiesAct/sta... and it's great to see her restrained schadenfreude at seeing the upset from Xbox fans who didn't heed her warnings!
What's quite grubby is you've now got people like hardcore Xbox enthusiasts Jez Cordon and Destin Legarie, who previously said her FTC warnings about Microsoft were incorrect and ...
After a weekend of negative reaction to Halo going to PlayStation Jez Corden shares this news of a powerful Xbox with no online fee. Assuming it has come direct from Microsoft, it demonstrates how companies feed information through their preferred bloggers/journalists as leaks to influence public sentiment. It also shows why Jez is uncritical off the hands that feed him.
