By Vini.lad Go To PostBut being playing GTS daily for almost 3 years, I don't think thats a bad thing for a racing game.
i agree with this.
racing games are perfect for it.
others sports games, too.
By aka Espi Go To PostImagine launching Halo with no multiplayer.
Smokey save your boys.
launching it with no MP would effectively nuke it from jump
i gotta think they'd delay it before doing that.
Doesn’t seem hugely damaging for a game that’s launching on a subscription service
Maybe not an identical situation, but I don’t remember there being a major issue with how they’ve launched MCC on PC. Or how multiplayer was dropped entirely from other recent games

there's no way a halo can launch without mp. on a sub service or not.
can't happen....can it
no
it cannot

By jjasper Go To PostI mean it could be ok that way it isn’t launching against COD assuming that is happening
it definitely could not be ok lol
If Halo were to launch without MP you might as well shut the entire fucking Xbox division down. That's incompetence of the highest order. They've had 5 years to get this right and what we have seen thus far is anything but.
And if what they showed yesterday was truly running on PC, then 343 needs to lose the IP.

By Smokey Go To Postit definitely could not be ok lolI mean there is a very good chance that if they do it that the SP is gonna suck again and so no one will even care when it comes out. But really it seems like at this point the game is not going to be ready for launch and they should delay it.
Microsoft keeps thinking the Xbox losing marketshare and mindshare is a marketing and feature problem, and they refuse to understand that people just want good games.
Yet they keep focusing on a) marketing and b) features (Game Pass). Marketing the past 12 months worked for them really well until ... it didn't because they still didn't have any games to show by the end of it all.
TL;DR: It's about the games, stupid.

By domino Go To PostHalo w/o MP is pointlessit was them who announced this console at E3 2019 and then showed it off in december.
MS timelines just to keep up w/ Sony are gonna kill them
you'd think they be ready.
By DY_nasty Go To Postbungie right now
I remember when Bungie announced their break away from Acti - Spencer was tweeting within minutes - obviously, he had insider info before the announcement - but since then he'd been acting like a thirsty dude who's crush just became single. Jumping on Bungie bounties and podcasts.
Controversial opinion: the planet they showed MC land on in Infinite was lame af. That setting did it no favors.
"Oh look another abandoned empty wasteland filled with bad guys and no civilization. But we got bunnies hopping about!"

By Sonyic Go To Postcan you even not launch against COD? i feel like they push out games every two weeks.The big question this year is also if we actually see a COD.
Game got picked up by a different dev midway through development and they're struggling quite hard to get it out. There's a reason you haven't seen CoD among the big showpiece conferences so far and they might not make it this year.
By Pennywise Go To PostThe big question this year is also if we actually see a COD.Yeah, I've been tracking that too.

Warzone blowing up has been huge for them tbh
I think something like CoD can skip a year and be just fine as a franchise because they have released so many of them on the dot every year.
By reilo Go To PostControversial opinion: the planet they showed MC land on in Infinite was lame af. That setting did it no favors.that was a halo not a planet m8. get your facts straight.

By reilo Go To PostI think something like CoD can skip a year and be just fine as a franchise because they have released so many of them on the dot every year.Pretty sure the devs would love to skip and use the additional time, but it's Activision behind them.
By DY_nasty Go To PostYeah, I've been tracking that too.Still suspect that Activision will do everything to push it out.
Warzone blowing up has been huge for them tbh
But yeah, considering the original two studios had beef and the game went into development hell, they might wanna reconsider. Especially since Warzone is so big.
None of MS's big IPs are interesting
just even at a surface level
Aliens parody
Aliens/Warhammer parody

how hard is it to half-ass a bareboned multiplayer

Let’s be honest, this is a 343 Halo. It would be the same as if they’d launched Halo 3 or Reach without multiplayer
edit: wouldn’t be the same I mean
edit: wouldn’t be the same I mean
Halo 5 is the best MP though.
After 4 and 5, I can’t imagine there’s many people excited for 343 campaign.
They’ve made the Banished look like jokes, an enemy that people liked in Halo Wars 2.

Aaron Greenberg: Halo demo was an early wip build so it doesn't look as good
343i: It took herculean effort and ages spent on polishing to pull to get the demo to look as pretty as it did
I do not understand how this demo came to be. It wasn't even a campaign mission, it was just master chief walking around, shooting random mobs of enemies and a cut scene at the end. Not some Naughty Dog vertical slice.

that quote is bizarre.
why would you put that online knowing you're being heavily criticised for how your game looks at the moment?
fucking hell.

This whole "it's an old build" shit never really works. You rarely see games getting better at release, only the opposite.
One exception that I can remember is maybe GT Sport, which had a disastrous 2016 announcement event and the game looked absolute trash there, myself losing all the hope about the game because of that, but Polyphony brought it back during beta phase.

I still can't believe MS is launching with that much hardware power in less than 3 months, but still weren't able to cobble some graphical showcase piece together running gameplay footage.

But yeah, more recently, the vertical slices are shown as the target that the rest of the game has to live up to when it's out in a couple years.... But halo is out in like 4 months.
