This is a really rough one be aide both Fran hoses are my favorites. I voted Hako infinite simply because I’m sure the multiplayer will keep me playing for many more hours than God of War will. Also, Atreus was a bad idea and I hope he’s not in Ragnarok.

True, I can't wait for the new Halo Infinite Craig memes. This game has a high meme potential.
If it's about the games themselves though, Ragnarok will be the better game by a country mile.

Smells of popular belief. There's no official final sales tally for Guardians but it's estimated to have done approximately as well as previous entries. I did however underestimate GoW4 sales.
Kotaku UK Rumor: Xbox One, Windows 10, Halo 5, & Minecraft notably below expectations
It did under 1M in its first NPD month. So? All their sales don't come from Physical US and it was like 4 days coverage. it did 950k physical in the US in 4 days, and you think it took them 3 months to get another 50k worldwide + including digital? lol

GoW just has a much bigger audience to sell to.. and yeah, really, halo has kind of declined and i don't think Xbox is set up to leverage single titles so much anymore~ i think it'll be a thing, but it won't make many converts or anything. Ragnarok might though, considering the potential for truly jaw dropping visuals~

God Of War is one of the most overrated games of all time, but 343 Halo is a trainwreck.
Some choice. Probably Halo Infinite, since I'll be able to play it on my PC. But really, neither are particularly inspiring.

I almost think its the opposite, hardcore gamers like us expect more from God of War, where are casuals probably resonate more with halo.

In addition to Horizon, GoW and Ratchet have more like GT7, Returnal, Guilty Gear Strive plus temporal console exclusives like Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo, and if what the Official PlayStation Magazine said is true (I think it will be 2022) Final Fantasy XVI too.Yeah because trailers that have a date are always right.... They already have Horizon II and Ratchet & Clank this year which is more than enough. No need to crowd their releases. They might have even said 2021 on purpose to entice gamers to purchase PS5 but I'm fairly certain God of War Ragnarok will be a 2022 game.
I don't say it's right. Obviously, they can delay it specially now with Covid. They can also go 3rd party tomorrow and publish it on Ouya. But as the trailer they published a few days ago said, as of now it's officially a 2021 game.
No, we haven't seen anything of the next elder scrolls game. There's only a CG teaser with the logo and they don't even know which year are they going to release the game.
From GoW we only have a shitty teaser too, but it's officially announced as a (very likely H2) 2021 game and their devs will have enough time to release it on H2 2021 looking at the time spent with their previous games. Sony didn't show it very likely because they obviosly had to focus on marketing a console they just released and many other exclusive games that have been released until now or will be released in the next months before GoW, and have to spread the announcement and the stuff they show to keep the interest and the hype.
Halo Infinite is and will be a media juggernaut because it's going to be the main AAA exclusive MS game during 2021 and a big portion of 2022. So MS fans (including gaming journalists) will give it a lot of attention.

Maybe Halo will be better if someone else making it, not 343i. After Halo 4... i don't like them at all

This site is full of the most grumpy, pessimistic people ever. I feel like some of you only post to argue every video game sucks. Maybe get a new hobby.

Lol, if you think this board is a place where people don't argue about video games endlessly, you are in the wrong place.
You don't have to take it personally if this one guy doesn't like either game or a person like me felt gow was too short.
Casuals resonate with Fortnite and COD now.

GoW is not going to come out this year at all. I don't know why Sony would even lie like that. If the game was that advanced you can bet your ass they would have shown it to attract more people. GoW was revealed on 2016 and came out 2 years later, I wouldn't expect anything different from Ragnarok.

Santa Monica knows how to make a great campaign, 343i does not

Don't pass gaas, it is your Destiny!
we have seen a logo and a land mass for Elder scrolls, we seen a logo for GoW. H2 was leaked years before it was announced by voice actors.

Halo is still the bigger name. If the game delivers it will be huge. It has to deliver obviously.

Halo Infinite is my most anticipated title alongside FF16.

GoW for sure. The core game design of Halo is just so dated now. CoD does set-piece campaign levels better, Doom has tighter gunplay and better arenas, and there are a lot of other co-op "campaign" experiences out there now. I hate to say it, but Destiny 2 is the real evolution of the Halo, at least for PvE content. Granted the story/characters aren't nearly as iconic, but it blows Halo out of the water in terms of depth and variety of content.
MP could be interesting. There's still nothing out today that truly feels like Halo 2/3 MP, and it almost seems like a bygone era. There was no progression, no unlocks, no skins. Just load up, same kit for everyone, and have at it. So much goofy shit with sticky grenades, swords, and vehicles. Ascension, Lockout. Feels like today's era of MP is too serious for what made Halo so much fun.

I think GoW:Ragnarök has better chance at coming out 2021 than Halo:IDH has.
They have a successful game to base on and I don't think they will do a full rehaul of engine and tools for Ragnarök.
While MS is throwing more studios and money at Halo:Infinite Development Hell.

I'm more excited for Halo Infinite.
If it's good, then I have a new Halo game to play.
If it's a fucking disgrace, then there will be all kinds of hilarious things to read and videos to watch.
I honestly kind of want the trainwreck.

Sony can't rehaul the engine because Ragnarok is going to be a PS4 game with some PS5 upgrades. Whoever is thinking Ragnarok is going to be a PS5 exclusive is crazy. Again, for me there's no way for Ragnarok to come out this year. That would be a 3 year development cycle, which would be like the fastest sequel since the N64 era

Of course they could rehaul if they wanted(SSM is no low tier studio like 343) but prob doesn't make sense for a early gen game if they want to release in 2021.

Can't wait to play the next God of War to be fair. Don't really care about Halo since the 360 days

Here like in the real world actually.
But people buy the best games whoever made them, it's just MS made less of them. It may change.

Exactly, Halo is dead. Halo went from being a franchise to attract gamers from other platforms to just being an Xbox exclusive to keep xbox fans happy. Nobody is going to buy an xbox for Halo, but someone who's going to buy an xbox will buy halo.

God of War. And btw, Halo is flopping, hard.

What time is it?
I wasn't interested in Halo before 343i took the helm. I'll give the next Halo a whirl because of GamePass but I expect it will be as engaging as Gears of War has become (see; not). God of War has never been my bag either. It really started Sony down the path of style over substance in their first party offerings. I do applaud the direction the series took with the last entry and while I enjoyed it much more than previous entries, I have no desire to pay another game in that mold. I voted neither.

Why do you think that? Sure, ps4 audience is still larger, but a new console need system sellers, and God of War can be exactly that.

Why on earth would you expect the next Halo to be good? That's like expecting the next Mass Effect to be good.

The fear I see from certain Sony fanboys is fascinating.
I get being more excited for God of War but it has zero chance at being the bigger game. The PS4 user base advantage has completely flipped in Halo's advantage.
