White Owls could be. It's a small studio, don't think it's too expensive. I hope there's something around june.
Unless they did purchase Konami and do have PES as their in-house soccer franchise 🤔 🤔
heh heh, I'm just joking
I think it's fine so long as both are fully featured and available Day 1. I think it would be a positive to allow the meta of the multiplayer to be separate from the single player. They can take abilities that cause the MP community grief out, re-balance weapons etc. all without worrying about how it will impact the single player sandbox and vice versa. Then they can just keep adding the the multiplayer with major updates to the engine and graphics coming with the big single player releases.
IMO I think MS has a habit of making the packages of their games too big. They seem to feel a need to add a big new modes. Then for games like Gears and especially Halo they get so massive and complicated it's almost impossible to make it a good package in every area people want. Splitting the package might help quite a bit then they can pace some of the big new additions so long as the initial release is full featured day one.
Or it is just one of those weird owl cafes they have in Tokyo
I'm telling you right now that would go over terribly and nobody in their right mind would want that
I hope so. There are workarounds like 1 free game with your Series X bundle but they can't really market it as well in Europe.
If they have a FIFA+Halo Infinite Bundle for the Series X/Lockhart launch, they are going to sell out like crazy.
It can be PES instead. It would also fit to the rumor about the Konami catalogue...
As long as the Halo Infinite MP basics are there either at launch, or very shortly thereafter, no one is going to care all that much if some additional modes are added in as an update or something. Same with Forge.
Is it ideal? No. But I don't think it's anywhere near the catastrophe some of you seem to envision, haha.
And let us not lose sight of the fact that there's no indication this is even happening. Klobrille was speaking theoretically.

Except this literally happened with Halo 5 and they were killed for it. Critics derided the lack of content and modes and fans were angry that they had to wait months for things they expected at launch to be patched in later.
I am eagerly awaiting Halo Infinite and i hope that we get it this winter with XSX. I just want to play a good Halo campaign again. 4 was good, 5 was a let down.
I recently saw videos by Dee Bee Geek of his play-though of all Halo campaigns as a PlayStation fan. It really made me appreciate the Halo series and even more hyped for Infinite. if you haven't seen his videos before, definitely worth a watch. Some of his reactions around Halo 2 and 3 are best.

Going back to topic, i will be happy with Campaign and Warzone Firefight to release first. i hope they bring some changes to warzone to make it more seamless and even have stage based firefight as well, something like operations from Battlefield.

None of these are huge issues save for maybe the Europe part.
I do - however - think they need to get VERY serious about working with small devs and licensing out IP like they're doing with battletoads. I'm not sure why we don't have Jago 2d side scrollers or Rare Card games or something. They need to show everybody why Xbox is so big, pervasive, for everyone. Because gears, halo, and forza aren't cutting it.PS is a big brand because they excel at cultivating their IP with their fanbase
Like people must want to Remember the past. There were huge complaints of no split screen, forge and no BTB, even tho new modes like breakout and warzone was added
What lol? It was generic CGI of a match in the same way the cars racing was.
I mean, yeah, it can be. But what would be the point of having a marketing deal for PES? FIFA is still much bigger, so no I don't think PES is a possibility.
Unless Microsoft did buy Konami or their catalogue, yes, but again, this is most likely a useless rumours.
Yes? It is a CGI shot of a match, but the message is pretty much saying that: these are some experiences you're going to play on the Series X (to me, that means at launch with such a teaser). Only Halo is truely identified, but that doesn't mean the two other things aren't teasing games related to that (maybe a Forza, and obviously a FIFA or PES). And since they chose to make soccer a focus in their reveal video, I do think this is something they'll make a focus on closer to launch, so it's not farfetched to think Microsoft is investing to be the marketing brand associated with FIFA this holiday.
I remember EA being one of the first publishers who talked about the capabilities of the Xbox One X back in 2017 (the same event where they showed some Frostbite on X1X stuff and where they teased Anthem). I'm curious if this will be the case this year although it does seem quite unlikely with no EA event currently announced. Really curious which publisher it'll be this time around.
hmmm .. while the scope of the game is huge - allowing any type of missed deadline before launch would be a double edge for them and cause more stress than satisfaction.
the only updates after launch are post-content drops - not content that should have been there at launch like a MP mode (ala warzone/btb)
People would understand if the singleplayer portion is really good to great. Not to mention the ease of access through Game Pass.
You're honestly reading too much in to it even if they do have a marketing agreement with FIFA or PES.
All they're saying is we have the next-gen in sports on our console - using the most popular sport in the world as an advert, the same way cars/racing games are always used as its something Joe Bloggs can identify with. It's literally nothing more.

I've been watching his playthroughs as well, very enjoyable watch.
Kinda reminds me of what was previously rumored, with campaign and MP having a split release:https://gamerant.com/halo-infinite-single-player-2019-multiplayer-2020/
If either of these happen I'd be really disappointed. Was disappointed with Halo 4, and Halo 5, but I was hoping with the increased development time & budget within Xbox they'd really nail the final package on release.
Anyways the game still has quite a bit of time left in the oven and we haven't heard anything officially so I'll wait and see.
personally i would not mind. im day 0 for halo infinite and i can't wait to play. i had a lot of fun with the h5 MP, just about unlocked everything too, except some pro team skins locked behind payments. just to give an example of how much im ready to dive into Infinite.
My comment is coming from an observation perspective on the online gaming culture of how masses circle and magnify things and spin it to be negative, especially here on era about anything xbox. The vocal loudness we will here of halo not having every mode will become the narrative instead of how amazing things. Now, i'm not saying 343i needs to meet these people's expectations, because they wont, it will just be a deeper hole to dig out of if they do not launch with every legacy mode, and i would not want that type of additional stress or toxicity on to 343i. :(
Do you have to have played the first one to appreciate Ori 2?
Era cares more about AAA singleplayer experiences and review scores. LOL If Halo singplayer is released and gets good reviews, the majority of Era would be satisfied.
I disagree, MSFT cannot do the things that sony can do. Double standards exist. If the sp is released first the game will get killed and everyone will all of a sudden clamor for the mp. Leadership should just delay the game if the full package isn't ready.
I'm loving the synchrony between MS teams, now bring MS characters in Bleeding Edge, specially some of KI.
No it won't. If Game Pass didn't exist, then I might agree; but Game Pass exists. Halo Infinite and Xbox Series X's launch are strategically tied together. They will not delay the game if XSX launches this year.
From what I've played so far = No, but there are little things.
I'm only 1 hour in though soooo, maybe later? I would recommend the first because it's not too long and absolutely incredible.
I just don't see why it matters. If Halo Infinite releases this fall with a full single player experience (8-12 hour standard length complete story arc high production value campaign), multiplayer with BTB, expected gameplay modes, Forge and Warzone and a year from now we get a Battle Royal mode (or whatever they are experimenting with internally) announced at E3 and dropped in the fall as a free update why would anyone care?
Not like it's without precedent. Delivering the expected experience and then free add ons later is pretty much what the last COD and BF did and I don't recall any real complaining about that.
Nobody should want to be associated with PES these days and that rumour was clearly BS
the conversation is that it would not launch with the bolded. kind of like what happened with halo 5 - tacked on btb, forge a lot later and then totally changed after a long list of update. that one life mode that died quickly and etc. simply saying we dont want a repeat of 5, especially for a more highly regarded halo title.
I'll tell you how this goes in my opinion. MS out earns Sony 2:1 while selling 3/4 of the consoles. Fanatics pick apart the metrics they like to hand wave away any lead that one or the other has. I expect to see gymnastics like "why do you care if MS made money? Sony clearly won because they sold more units" or "sure MS made 45 first party titles games this gen but Sony has god of war 2 / Spider-Man 2 / GoT 2 / HZD 2"
I mean, there was a Fable card game, there's Gears tactics and the card game, Banjo in Smash, Halo showtime series, they're licensing out IP, just not all of them.
I think part of it is you want to be careful how you license stuff like that, because if you do it poorly and it's seen as a soulless cash grab you could hurt the IP forever. I hope Battletoads is a sign of things to come and we see Rare farming out some revivals of its beloved IP to developers that really care about it and can do it well. Doesn't mean it has to be in the same genre as the original, I'd take a side scrolling Kameo reboot, I'd take a country life hybrid monster collector Viva Piñata reboot, but no mobile gacha Banjo / Conker match 3 games, no KI dating sims, no Jetforce Gemini rhythm game where the twins become pop idols and use the power of song to save the galaxy (actually maybe that one works).
I can see Infinite being a planet-hopping game with 20+ hours of gameplay, hopefully. They need plenty to get people into the new engine and gameplay options. I hope they revamp the SP for more replayability. I know MP is the meat of the game but new options would be great. Hoping for a mix of Halo and Mass Effect (SPace travel, alien planets, more flora and fauna to research etc. I want more life in Halo. Towns, NPC's, Animals etc,
Currently no Halo game has had a longer than 10 hour campaign looking at howlongtobeat. If you're expecting 15+, get ready to be disappointed.
