no, no it just means their old engine wasn't built with PS5 Pro in mind.
They don't.
MGS 5 was called MGS 5 by the creator and that supersedes everything else. And it’s not mental gymnastics, you just tried to throw a gotcha and lost. Unless the team creators call the game Halo 6, it is not Halo 6.
yea but they were adament that the 'modern' halo of 5 and infinite were the halo styles they want to go forward with yet the classic halo fans for the most part dislike it (and its track record explains itself)
Could be that as well. I just want more Halo.
Ok mate. I could name loads of sequels that dont have numbers in them but whatever. You keep waiting for Halo 6.
I'm pretty sure the scope and scale affected the graphics in the long run, not to mention it was still on the blam! engine throughout. One of the biggest criticisms have been the graphics, second to the story. It started out as a showcase for Xbox, and ended up being subpar with each new iteration. Quite frankly. Halo 2 Anniversary is the best Halo has ever looked.
It was called MGSV.

Halo's graphics arent the problem. Its the lack of knowing how to make a fun and unique videogame. Theres nothing to get excited for. If this game wasnt called Halo, it would've done even worse.
Where you getting Doom from? A horror flood game could still be slowish, but with no covenant shields or master chief you could lower the TTK, Up the speed a tad, drop the floaty jumps. Free from the shackles of what the community think Halo should be like, they could make something new and fresh, god knows the series needs something at this point. Maybe even make it 3rd person.
Cyberpunk 2077 downside is the characters felt to shallow, design wise, and disconnected from the world's complex design, we hadn't encountered this issue before.
My point exactly
Just saying, I'm afraid future games issues will be the same as cyberpunk.
I liked Infinite, Another year -18 months in the oven and that game could have been something stellar. I'm positive Staten chucked together what he could in that last year and then tossed it out of the door. The bones where there.My point exactly
Actually, the D2 (Tiger) engine is as much of an overhaul to the BLAM engine as Slipspace was.

Bottom line is: Halo is destined to fail over and over because the current developpers never understood what made it great in the first place. This is why the older games have better player retention even now. And no engine will fix that. Especially not UE.
Halo Infinite is fine for solo players who like fairly generic shooters, imo. It's got an incredibly ''safe'' design with practically no sandbox/explosive physics and death barriers everywhere. When I think about Halo 2 and Halo 3 I think ''Fucking around with other people'' - When I think about Halo Infinite nothing more than ''shoot gun'' comes to mind lol. roughly 200 hours on that game made for exactly 0 memorable moments.
Correct. It's easy to blame the tech but that's the least of the problems with a studio that totally botched this series for a decade.
I was vouching for a delay from the very start so I agree but it took forgers 24 months to get physics on a box so something tells me it was either not in 343i's interest to implement such a thing or they simply couldn't/didn't know how to.
My victory being striped away.Microsoft Confirms That Yes, 'Halo: Infinite' Is Actually Just 'Halo 6'
The next Halo game, Halo: Infinite, is a true sequel, not anything too out of the ordinary, it seems.
"Perhaps to avoid Fallout 76-like confusion about what exactly its upcoming game is, Microsoft is now confirming what many people suspected, but wasn’t spelled out because of an odd naming choice: Halo: Infinite is Halo 6."
"It is Halo 6," said 343’s Jeff Easterling during a Mixer stream (via GameSpot). "You should just consider it Halo 6. Don't think of it as a weird prequel kind of thing. It's the next story. It's the next chapter in what is going on."
Two thirds of Infinite's campaign was scrapped and the multiplayer side was effectively frozen for over a year while they worked through their tech debt. There were a huge number of features left on the chopping board like other biomes, side quests, a proper home base (UNSC Infinity) and competing factions with networks of bases.
I said it earlier in the thread.
Halo 4 and 5 were their attempts to make traditional Halo games. We all know how that went. And I kind of liked Halo 4.
I hated 4 and 5. Well i liked the multiplayer in 5 (shoot me). I thought ironically Infinite was the best thing they have done, and still fell well short in a number of key areas.
Ms management doesn't understand Halo, not one bit.
The best Halos I’ve ever played are all 30fps.
You should try playing them at 60, they are even better.
For the era they were released in, when console fps games were 20-30 fps, they were considered really smooth.
I did. And 4K HDR. They are awesome. But it’s not mandatory for a good game neither make for a good game: like in Infinity.
Only so long you can polish a turd.
I have a feeling this one is not lost yet (Nixxes remastering Guerilla titles using Decima just feels so right for a remaster/remake to kick start it again)

The Xbox gamers are just as much to blame as 343, imo. There would be a massive revolt within the Xbox community if there are big changes to Halo multi-player. The truth is, arena shooters with little variety in gameplay is a dead genre. But Microsoft is scared of fracturing the fanbase by allowing creativity beyond traditional Halo PvPMy point exactly
