Yeah that has to be an Xbox One game. They pulled a Breath of the Wild with that one.

It worked for BOTW since the Switch wasn't that much more powerful than the Wii U. But the difference between the original XB1 and the Series X is very significant. I get they want it to be available at launch, but Halo needs to be a home run so they can get a hand start on this new-gen.

"Series X games won't be held back"

"Games will be scaled accordingly"

"Sony stans acting like they can't down port Halo and other games to Xbox One"


Yeah, the game as shown today is cleary being held back something serious. Even ray tracing isn't coming at launch. It running at "4k/60fps" doesn't magically make the game not look underwhelming after the hype MSFT kept putting out there.

I was right but the fans didn't want to hear it. A showcase title shouldn't be looking this rough visually.
yeah they moving the goal post
they were so confident in the Series X's power and MS's bullshyt and are now blaming cross gen gtfoh
The Xbox can be so much more than what they are now but they don't understand how to play the game as well as Sony
You don't want Sony getting cocky because it's downhill from there
MS helped bring the best out of Sony and we got gifted the PS4
The 360 was their best attempt idk what happened since

Microsoft needs a new marketing team because they spent what feels like an eternity talking up cross gen and not leaving XB1 players behind only for every new title they announced to be Series X exclusive. They muddied their messaging for no god damn reason.

People don't understand that the CPU and IO are so much better on these newer consoles that they are in fact sacrificing performance to keep back compat. They would have to make separate games to differentiate themselves and that would cost to much.

Like why is this still supported :mjlol:

MS is dumb
I was expecting be blown away by Infinite, an important flagship franchise for MS, and they showed that? :mjlol:
No next gen AI, animation, physics, destructibility, immersion, etc.
Graphics were underwhelming and don't look next gen
I know the Series X is better than that
What will happen is while the PS5 exclusives focus solely on the PS5's architecture, the Series X exclusives will suffer and never really fully take advantage of the Series X
So even if the Series X is more powerful, the PS5 might end up having better looking exclusives because the developers aren't held back by cross gen
We'll see how this plays between the exclusives

Wasn’t it Phil Spencer himself who said just a few days ago they won’t force consumers to upgrade to a new machine just to play new games? Is that man capable of telling a single truth? :gucci:
i mean you expect corporations to lie sometimes but he really is abusing that privilege.

So all the concern trolling can end now? Most titles seem to leave the Xbox One behind.
