I wonder what will sell more. Halo ot Horizon?
Horizon will outsell Halo you can thank gamepass for making sure of that but even without it they'd have been close, HZD sold over 10 million copies on PS4 alone and close to a million more on PC. I don't think Halo 5 got anywhere near that and it came out a year and a half before HZD did and Game pass wasn't a thing yet. Some will say "but it was the biggest launch in Halo history" yeah in dollars and that's because they had Halo 5 xbox one bundles that were $500 so each one of those were counted as well as halo themed controllers etc. Halo isn't as popular as it used to be, it's still a big deal don't get me wrong but it's not what it once was.
 
I will play Halo multiplayer for a good couple of years. Titanfall and Rocket League are the the only games this past gen that held my interest for that long.
 
343 isn't up to the task that's the problem it's not that what they are trying to do is impossible there have been great Halo games before. Yes they are making it open world "ish" but let's not forget the older Bungie made halo games also had bigger play areas than the ones 343 has made. Halo was dropped into the laps of a group of people who clearly don't know how to handle it and the guy at the top isn't doing anything to change that.

I will say that Halo is targeting 60fps and Horizon is undoubtedly targeting 30 so that is going to make a difference in visuals no matter what but Horizon is also an open world game that has mounts and different weapon types, weather systems, time of day , underwater areas etc it's not more limited in scope at all when you compare it with the single player portion of Halo which isn't even really an open world game according to the devs.

How many games attempt to offer the package Halo strives for? COD and Battlefield come kinda close with campaign and multiplayer. Sony barely tries on their end. Last of Us 2 comes to mind and they broke it up into 2 games.

What package?
Multiplayer is free so you don't need to buy the game.

When you buy Halo Infinite its for the campaign.
Do you think the campaign will come remotely close to the quality (review scores)TLOU2 or Horizon FW, ha!

How about it's length.. do you think it will be as long or offer as much as the above games you mentioned? HA!

Halo Infinite is NOT the big title XSX needs.

Only really matters if they nail it which Bungie did and 343 has yet to.

My internet data is more valuable to me than downloading Horizon. Free is not cheap enough for me. So I don’t really care how the PlayStation dominated media scores a game. Look at Returnal….a game with glowing reviews and a game breaking save system that is barely mentioned.

Your internet data?
Returnal has nothing to do with this.

You are all over the place!
I call that "being shook"

Oh I forgot to add when comparing the games you mentioned packages.... to add graphics.
Boy oh boy does Horizon FW AND even TLOU 2 look much better than Halo Infinite.
 
With the release of HZFB's gameplay trailer, seems like the console war has ramped up. People getting fired up on social media it's hilarious.

You've seen first hand how hard Xbox fans have been coping right here in this thread.

It's now all about gameplay, not visuals. The funny thing is the critically acclaimed Sony
exclusives, like Horizon, usually excel in both.

It's about MP, not SP.

It's about potential sales.

It's about the potential number of hours that will be played in Halo Infinite.

It's about how Halo is a bigger name / franchise.

It's all about Halo > *. 😂

They are jumping all over the place the last 24 hours, lol.

GamePass will definitely hurt Halo Infinite sales. GP might help in certain instances, like otherwise unknown indies, but not for MS first party.

But GP is supposed to promote game sales from word of mouth / seeing your friend play it, someone keeps telling me this. 🤔

Let's not beat around the bush: both sets of fanboys are just as trashy. Right now though...as in countless times ad nauseum..Sony 1st party studios have made it glaringly obvious where the pools of talent thus far have coalesced.
 
LOU2 rated high(most goty in gaming's history)sold gangbusters and had a robust campaign.

Do we think infinite can match any of the above mentioned?

I say it won't.

When MP is announced for LOU2 people will go bonkers.
halo 3 GIF

For clarification; that's not from the infinite trailer.

There is a clear generational gap between Horizon & last year's Halo revealed video. When the games switch, the contrast is stark!

The details & lighting in Halo look flat like a pancake, while details are well... detailed in Horizon & lighting is rich. I am not sure if there is RT, but man, does it look good.

We shall see again how new footage(s) of halo look & compare.

What's that have to do with anything? Halo has had single player and multiplayer from the start a lot of games do that. Has any Halo game come close to offering a single player campaign that comes anywhere near TLOU2? NOPE, Halo's single player campaigns are generally around 8 hours with the original coming around 10 that's nowhere near the scale of the story being told in TLOU2 which takes between 25-30 hours on average and up to 40 hours for people who do all of the exploring etc.

I'd also point out that most games that offer single player and multiplayer generally take the MP maps from the single player portion of the game. and adapt them for MP they don't go and rebuild everything from scratch.

For Halo to be Halo everything has to be a home run. PlayStation has never delivered on a first party package that Halo strives to be. It’s huge shoes to fill that even 343 struggles to achieve but the ambition is there. Meanwhile Sony does a AAA fire and forget campaign and that’s considered a gold standard.

You were close, one small edit above.
