Support NeoGAF

I'm genuinely curious to see how Halo Infinite will look at release. While not exactly a graphical showcase, right now, I don't think it was that bad. If we add the RT support to the mix, it could very well improve the things quite a lot.

But it does tell you a lot about 343 and the rumoured development hell over there, that RT isn't ready at launch and needs to be added as a patch later on. That's inexcusable.

I was interested in it Surface Duo some time ago, but once the spec leaked I'm not anymore, but this brought back my attention a bit, it would've been such a perfect fir to xCloud/GP, would allow for normal gaming while traveling rather being on mercy of mobile titles, which are mostly crap, filled with more ads than actual gameplay. Hopefully they'll release an updated model somewhere later with better specs, 5G, higher refresh rate etc.

I feel like just picking up the official Xbox 8BitDo controller, and clipping on your phone, is the way to go here, above simulated touch controls. Playing Infinite like that... ugh.

Some things are just out of your control. When COVID-19 hit and people started to work from home, chances are pretty high that performance dropped at 343i (source on why this is likely). I understand that they need more time to get the game where it needs to be, and I also get that they can't postpone the launch since the XSX will be ready.

You have an XB1X correct?

Yeah. I befriended Phil under false pretenses, so sometimes I play his Series X too.

Then your controller should have Bluetooth and can connect to your phone without any issues. No need for the 8bitdo. Unless you just prefer the form factor, hussy.

Form factor. I am not clipping my phone on a regular Xbox controller, and playing that monstrosity in public.

Man ho.

You could also take a look at this controller. Once xCloud is part of Game Pass, I'm getting one of these.

Oh I really like the look of this one. Might have to grab it.

As a passionate linguist, I'm fluent.

'Oh. I'm surprised you knew the one. Great minds, right? Yeah, that's it. It... does look a little goofy, but I think it's a big improvement over the standard controller.'

Yes, I actually took the time to draft out a response then backtrack it to retard. Lol.

Same. That is fantastic. Not far off a dedicated handheld.

Lmao the only thing I managed to decipher was "Yeah, that's it"

It was like a Zodiac cipher.

Btw, I'm really looking forward to the GamePass/X-Cloud unification. I feel like it's pretty fantastic that I don't even have to do anything (I have GamePass Ultimate) and it'll just pop up for me one day.

Do we have an exact date?

Nope, just September. We might get that date during the next game event. I'm also looking forward to it, although I might have to upgrade my mobile plan for this

 

[TBiddy]

Are there any news on when XCloud will leave beta in iOS?

Halo Community Update - Infinite Inquiries

In the past two weeks we've unveiled Halo Infinite, launched Halo 3 on PC as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, helped raise money for a good cause, released tons of Halo gear, and so much more. Since this is a pretty hefty Community Update, let's jump right in!

Of course, the first thing I do in the new Microsoft Flight Simulator is fly over my house. Heading out from London Cit…

I’m thinking some shit gonna be announced in August. Fingers crossed

Bernkastel thank you for keeping the community updated, you're doing a great job.
I'm proud of you son

 

[Deleted member 775630]

Really looking forward to what they'll have in store at the next event. Pretty sure they'll show MP footage. But if Halo MP is going to be huge, I'm wondering what they have planned when it comes to game modes.

 

[Steve.1981]

Removing the Live paywall would be huge. Merging Gold into Game Pass & having one simple subscription service would be huge.

I don't see them doing either of these things because they're a corporation & love money above all else.

Would be huge though.

 

[ZywyPL]

I think they will indeed make the same thing we saw in Gears 4 and Uncharted 4, where the MP modes run at lowered resolution and some lowered details, but at double the framerate compared to SP campaign. Plus the fact that MP won't be open-world also saves up a lot of performance.

Thank you dad.

I think Spencer/MS really are aiming for those "2BLN gamers out there" - once they hit a certain level of userbase nothing won't matter, as the GP monthly fees will be able to sustain the XBL servers, xClous servers, games development, and of course bring profit on top of that, and after that certain level every additional GP user will be a pure profit. But that's a very long term plan, you don't go from product-based model to a service-based one overnight, it takes some time.

You could be right.

I guess time will tell. It's going to be an interesting next-gen, that's for sure. On top of having both Xbox & PlayStation with big first-party plans, we have Game Pass & Now. A possible subscription/ecosystem war is brewing.

Removing the online paywall would be a huge move, like I said. I just struggle to see it happening.
