Halo Infinite - Campaign Overview (October 25th - 6am PT / 9am ET / 3pm CET)

People should keep their expectations in check. The last two video 'Overview' were Multiplayer Overview and PC Overview.
So I expect to get a developer interview on the campaign with bits and pieces of footage. Not some long campaign gameplay demo.

Yeah could be right but at least we see something.

It'll probably be Staten talking over campaign footage and features + some story stuff since it's supposed to be 6min long. Proper playthrough and such will probably be at the MS Event.

I hope Staten is doing the overview. If we get some glimpses of the campaign too that would be enough for me. I don't want too much of the game spoiled.

Same. That + some vague story trailer and I'm good. It's so close, so I could just wait it out after that... not going to be the last campaign anyway!
 
Yup, I too am quite glad with the fact that I know zero about the campaign. I hope to recapture that feeling of Halo: CE where I was completely surprised by the flood.
 
Perfect timing! over a month before launch is a good look! gives me faith that this will come out on time.

Let's freaking go, made my Monday.
 
Came for the Craig gifs, first page only had two. Damn gag getting sloppy or scared of the sticky.

Other than that can't wait! But I am still undecided as to if I play it straight away or wait for the coop patch.
 
It will look a lot better than last year, that's for sure.

The videos and screenshots from the multiplayer mode looks way better than the first time they showed the campaign and as long as they've made equal progress on the campaign its all good.

I'm not sure Bonnie even knows what is going on with the game. She got her rewards for who knows what and has seemingly been shoved in a closet somewhere ever since the initial reveal.

This. She is a shit manager more focused on woke trophies instead of the health of her franchise and overseeing a quality product on the level of Bungie's trilogy. She needs to go still.

I mean similar in that it seems like a rapid disposal of the last antagonist and on to another one, Didact and then Created/Cortana plot, three games in a row is a bit of a bad look, but we're now on the ring where some of the deeply interesting lore took place so maybe the end of this campaign will launch that off for future expansions

After playing Halo Wars 2, Atriox and his crew are much, much better than evil cortana. Can't wait for this game.

Yeah I seriously could not give a shit about those developer interviews. Show the game, please just show the game. Feel free to show the game and talk over the game to explain stuff that isn't immediately obvious, but I don't need to see a bunch of people sat in a studio essentially making small-talk for five minutes.

I was going to say Sony did a good job of this but actually Nintendo's directs are the best in terms of showing a new game and very quickly/succinctly explaining what it is, how it works, and why you should be excited to try it yourself. Very rarely have I come away from a Nintendo Direct thinking "hmm I had no idea what that game was all about".

I hope they at least show visuals improvements in the campaign.

Its clear this game is not like FH5 or other current gen exclusives, where the devs have dont work to make it a visual improvement over last gen.

I think the best we can hooe for is that it looks as good as a recent last gen fps, like modern warfare.

From a technical perspective the two things that need bringing up to a good last standard is the material quantity and indirect lighting, if these things can be improved it would not look subpar.
 
I'm keen to just see some more footage, improved visuals are a bonus. I had no issue with the previous gameplay vid at E3 2020, sure the visuals were nothing to write about, but the gameplay looked good. Looked like halo.
We're a couple of hours away though from the shitposting and mental breakdowns of people overacting from the most minor visual errors/details.
No matter what they do, even if it looks like the best game ever, someone will freeze frame and ENHANCE 50000000000% and have a hissy about something :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I hope to god they pause on Craig and he has massively improved textures etc just as a lol

lets be real, this is GAF. we are goin to overhype the shit out of this, then be disappointed that our expectations were not meant, and then were going to shit all over it.

If thats the case, then I don't think that shows a lot of confidence in what the campaign offers as a whole. I mean if the 1 year delay made it so the game looks night and day better why not show that off? Gameplay wise I dont think anyone complained about that. I think shooting, mechanics wise they have won people over since everyone is praising the Multiplayer.

I wonder if it's more or less not much has changed on the campaign side in how enemies look design wise, how well the world looks since its more open based.

If this is a like a deep dive I think that will dispel a lot of hesitation, but if its a 4 minute video with more devs talking then actual gameplay I think we have our answer.
 
After playing the Beta, i am more hopeful for this.

The Beta played really well and looked good.

I will be hyped because I'm in the small group of peeps that thought the initial footage wasnt terrible and I would have happily played it.

The recent multiplayer looked amazing, so I cant wait to see the campaign. I have also purchased the LTD edition 20th anniversary console so I'm effing INVESTED!

I don't think it will live up to people's expectations. It will look better than last year showing but MP has everything going to be the better looking piece of the whole package: closed arenas vs open world and fixed lights vs dynamic ones.

I hope I'm wrong because I'd love a powerful next-gen looking first party game for Xbox but I feel like it's going to be FH5.

Oh! And I hope they fully embrace Craig and show him

HeisenbergFX4 HeisenbergFX4 is this what you were hyping last week?

Lol 😂 this is going to affect Microsoft's earnings lol they are going to still make a fuck ton of money regardless of how the gaming division does. They're the biggest company in the world per market cap.

I know it means nothing (check my previous posts) but just thought it was a nice coincidence.

It's like 5% of the executives bonus which is independent to the rev split. I think it's about 25-30% of their more personal computing segment. Which I think is their smallest division.

Also think that they might be the second biggest company but stopped tracking the apple vs ms market cap numbers.

6 beautiful minutes and 21 glorious seconds.

TBH not expecting them to show that much, and I'd rather experience it for myself anyway....

Still a cross gen game, so expectations firmly in check for this one, but will be good to see what improvements they've made in the last year.
