alo 5 xbone is probably the best-ever playing halo, having an impeccable 60fps gameplay with low latency etc.
everyone is free to hate, but at least check your facts first.

They could have had that pile of dung running at 240fps with zero latency and it still would have been a pile of dung. Sorry kid, you wanted to talk facts. No hate, just facts.
 
Yeah that's pretty much the norm for any Xbox related live stream. It's literally impossible to be an Xbox fan and talk about it without having someone say "Xbox has no games" or "Why do you play on Xbox" ect, many variants.

Not a pitty party here either, it's just down to the fact that Playstation has at least 2-3x the fanbase of Xbox, then you have Nintendo and PC on top... It gets messy. Xbox is seen as the outsider of the group.
Sad bunch imo .
 
So you were just attempting to derrail the thread by complaining about something with very little importance since a lot of languages are already covered? or were you just trolling?

You're as guilty as them, since it seems you were looking for these reactions, otherwise you wouldn't complain about the lack of catalan, also, you could have mentioned basque, or even galician, but you chose the one that would get these kind of reactions.

Anyways, back on topic, so excited to see if MS can step up their game.
Well, MS made a post about all the languages they supported and even added some more for people who asked. So the coment was on topic.
He asked for Catalan cause it is his native language. It makes total sense. MS even added multiple dialects of some languages to make people feel more comfortable. Which is very nice. And following the same reasoning, he (and other people) would also like to see it in their native language, to feel more close to it. Language is not nationalism, is the medium in which you think and communicate, the native language is the one that lets you focus on content and forget about translating or looking for words. Having a reaction against Catalan but not against other languages shows a different kind of problem.

In any case. The HYPE IS RISING!!! Also fear is rising! Explosive mix
 
I have to say Halo 5 was a bit better than 4, and 4 is so bad. I was playing the campaign yesterday and, oh man, it is BAD. Coppy paste levels, boring enemies, weak weapons... Halo 5 did a bit better but also broke other things.
High hopes for Infinite though.

Not a fan of making it more like "Metroid" or any other game, though, they should make it more like HALO 3, and then expand on it.
 
Maybe we'll get more POWER OF THE CLOUD talk this gen, since internet connections in North America have improved, I remember it was a big stink at the start of Xbox One's generation, but all it really ever did was supposedly put AI from your friend's into Forza Horizon, but I don't believe that for a second, online or offline I still had the same shitty AI behaviour to the way the packs form to their driving styles in medium to hard.

I really don't see 240fps possible this generation, with any kind of fidelity, maybe we'll see some bad looking games that can get there, but not at 4k. I'm thinking that 120fps modes will even be quick and dirty.

Forza AI is some of the worst in the latest games, would love to see the death of this drivatar nonsense and them build genuine well programmed ai drivers, similar to Grand Prix games on the PC (still the pinnacle).
 
What a time to jump ship from Xbox.

Endure through the darkest 7 years the XBox brand has ever had. Jump ship right before they get their sh*t together.
I've got an X and a Pro. I don't care for the current Xbox Exclusives and I just want one console ecosystem this time around. Besides gamepass I don't see any value in Xbox but I also have my gaming PC so why do I need an Xbox? We keep getting told about these awesome exclusives coming for Xbox but that record has been played many times before.

Plus those new Xbox exclusives are going to be held back by the Xbox One while Sony advances in their exclusives only needing to develop for PS5.

Get a gaming PC then Microsoft doesn't care.

Nothing is being held back by the One. So Halo will look trash on a 2080ti since its a game also playable on the One?
 
My concern with Halo is that everyone wants it to play like Halo 1 with no sprint. After reading the books where he is essentially a space ninja being a slow tank again is lame af. I'd prefer a 3rd person mode as well as awesome combat maneuvers from a guy who can dodge rubber bullets. But no, we'll probably get a slower than CoD boring tank of a "super" soldier cause if not there will be an uproar.

I have no intention of playing Xbox games on my PC unless there is something that really stands out but I doubt it.

If you don't understand what I mean by the Xbox One holding back possible Xbox Series X Exclusives then you don't understand game development. I'm not talking about resolution.

Yes because the big launch exclusive for the PS5 is built from the ground up for it lol. Nope it is storyline DLC of a ps4 game lol. The first built from the ground up tent pole is horizon 2 at the end of 2021 or early 2022. Not far off from the first built from the ground up games for the series x like hellblade 2.

No please explain, what are you talking about that's holding back the Series X we'll see on the PS5 in the first two years that we won't see on the X I need to know.

Spiderman is not a DLC game, good try though. Still a bit sour that you didn't get to enjoy one of the best super hero games of all time?

Why ill be getting a PS5 also lol. I get consoles from everyone from 3do to Atari ffs. I got a ps4 at launch like other Sony consoles. I will be waiting for the slim this time.
 
So in 90 minutes the actual thing starts right?

Correct. But the pre-show in 30 will also apparently have reveals so it's maybe worth tuning in for that too if you can.
 
Everyone keeps talking about being hyped for Perfect Dark. I played Perfect Dark Zero and thought is was very, VERY meh. Is Perfect Dark, much better than Zero?
OG Perfect Dark was a masterpiece, used to play it so much with my friend after school every friday... it was a natural progression from Goldeneye but far more innovative. Guns all had alternative modes...like one could turn into a sentry, or one had a threat detector, there was a rail gun that could shoot through all the walls in the map.

The game also felt a little like Blade Runner, that type of futuristic city-scape.

To be frank they are redoing everything including the engine

Advanced graphical fidelity, new game play mechanics, advanced physics and environmental design, these are some examples of things that have had limitations on current gen hardware. You can't evolve and implement these things if it still has to run on the previous gen hardware and has been impossible to do previously.

I wonder if Halo will be more like Bionic Commando or Just Cause with the grappling hook.

Perfect Dark was incredible and far ahead of its time.

It gets overshadowed by Goldeneye because that came first and Perfect Dark was pretty late in the N64s life cycle but goddamn, for me personally, it is superior to Goldeneye in every way.

There's so much potential there for a new game. Hopefully we see another entry eventually.

It's shocking how bad it is. I got back into FH4 in February and I've doing all the weeklies for months now. I particularly love being out accelerated by a two-ton SUV going 160 mph, then watching it corner flat around a hairpin without its brake lights coming on. The AI also tends to freak out in off road races or pretty much any time you rapidly out accelerate the lead car in a sprint race. Best of all, if the AI is driving anything that's super lightweight, it'll leap out to an insurmountable lead within seconds of a race starting.

Not much about AI though. To be honest I'm most looking forward to new Forza (other than surprise games) in this event, but I will still point out the negatives which at the moment is the AI. They can create the prettiest game on earth with a better simulation underneath, but if the AI drivers are trash then it's not worth playing over other sim games.

Again..... so we will see all these aspects displayed in superior showings on the PS5 in the next 2 years then compared to the X?
