It's safe to say both Master Chief of Halo and Kratos of God of War are mascot video game characters. Maybe not as well known around the world as Mario of Super Mario but still pretty popular among gamers. With word that Craig of Halo Infinite will be receiving a full makeover (along with the rest of the game's visuals) and how it will feature a "stunning" single-player campaign, it seems like 343 Industries might end up delivering a good Halo game come late next year for the Xbox Series X/S. And this is exciting because no one really wants to see a big exclusive like Halo fail; after all, we want more reasons to pick up and play on either the PS5 and Series X/S which is why God of War: Ragnarok and Halo Infinite come to mind. I really can't think of two bigger upcoming AAA exclusive experiences that are synonymous with their respective console brands, that will sell more consoles for Sony and Microsoft during the holiday season next year.
That being said, Halo Infinite is something of an underdog in that its initial reveal was underwhelming and also because 343 Industries doesn't have the best track record when it comes to putting out good Halo games. People say Halo 5's multiplayer is really good but I've always liked Halo more for its exciting single-player and incredible music by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori. I want to see Halo Infinite be the next Halo 2 or Halo 3.
Then there's God of War: Ragnarok. 2018's God of War was interesting in that when gameplay was first shown, gamers had mixed reactions about the combat but most ended up loving it in the end. The graphics also looked amazing and just as impressive was the idea to present the game in a continuous shot. So you could argue God of War on the PS4 had revitalized the series. And with little more than a teaser trailer, God of War fans are excited for Ragnarok. Personally I think we need to see a proper 'stepping out from the shadows' type reveal for Kratos on the PS5. We need to see what Sony Santa Monica can really do with this new hardware. It will be interesting to see how much bigger and better this sequel ends up being.
Anyway, what are your thoughts on the new God of War and Halo? Which one are more excited to play? Which of the two do you think will be bigger upon release?
