Realistically, I don't expect Infinite to be ready until Holiday 2021 for various reasons, Covid being one of them.

Kudos to Phil Spencer saying that this( Not halo specifically) was a possibility back in April. He said that Microsoft wouldn't push when things that just aren’t ready and sure enough, he meant it.

I'm surprised that very few criticize the animations, that's what I hoped they'd fix for infinite. Animations looks almost exactly like Halo Ce and I'm baffled that people seems to be in awe of the "new" animation of the brute stumbling when shot lol
I'm one of the biggest halo fans here, but I find it deeply disappointing that they haven't scrapped the og xbox era animations.

In a thread you literally just started participating in this afternoon (!) you're apparently somehow overwhelmed with excuses and damage control. But, yes, this is awesome content:




From the same guy who says:


But, of course, then the conversation is Sony delaying so many more games and so criticizing that is hypocritical, but now that MS has delayed this game you come crawling out of the sewer to share your 'insight' above. It's trash posts, and if you don't want to call it trolling I suppose I'll agree, since you're clearly not putting any effort into making a quality or entertaining post.

No s***? Isn’t that what delays are for? Lol. TLOU2 was delayed a few times because it wasn’t ready as well because of Covid and logistics.

Maybe I am wrong and don’t know what it means to delay a game. I assumed because it’s not ready lol

You forget Naughty Dog made 3 games in one gen and the games looked impressive..

Sorry but there's no excuse for Halo. It don't look anywhere close to finished despite having 4+ years in development. Halo Infinite shouldn't have been shown/hyped at all..

Halo Infinte could pass for an early build. I don't see how anyone say it looks great.

Your opinion has been noted, though it doesn’t hold much weight.

Fkin hell, I imagine heads will roll over at 343. How can you develop a game for that long and not see that it's a trainwreck until 3 months before release... on a new console... as a flagship title. Mind boggling stuff and will heavily effect launch sales.
What a total fvckup

So the graphics didn't give you a blow job and now it's a trainwreck? We have zero idea of how much is in the game.

You act like that demo was all the game was. There was still so much to learn about the GAME that we now have to wait even longer to learn about because of the visuals. That's all anyone cares about.

Maybe all that time was spent upgrading AI and design huge levels with dynamic gameplay. We wont know now for a while.

Maybe there was going to be a bunch of cool things to show as we got closer to launch. Who cares, because it just looked ok.

Well if that is the issue than the complaint should be that they didn't have a demo or trailer that really showcased those things. COVID or no COVID they still had choices in terms of how they showed the game and they chose to show it that way.

No, it's a trainwreck because it's postponed indefinitely 3 months before releasing as a launch title for a new console, I've already said that I accepted the underwhelming graphics (halo isn't graphics anyway).

Problem?

It's a question, which you are answering with another question.

I mean, people had already stated what they did or didn't like about the game. Now it's delayed no matter what anyone's opinion, so what is the point of fanning the flames? So again, what is your motive for coming into this thread?

Everything about Halo was outdated. (Physics, animation, AI, character damage, ATD, level design, etc.)

Swede said:
Yes, you aren't constructive and clearly would never play halo even if it was great. I'd guess you'll never buy an xbox either.

So, either go and use Halo's failure as fuel in the plastic wars at the dedicated thread or start contributing in this thread with more than just potatoing.

Did I mention Sony or Nintendo? Let me guess. You prefer Xbox?

I gave my opinion just like everyone else. Not my fault Halo unimpressed.

I guess I missed your impressions. All I've seen were endless complaints of "Damage Control" and accusations of people making excuses.

For the record, probably 3/4 people here have been pretty vocal about dissatisfaction with the game. Some thought it looked like complete rubbish, some thought it wasn't quite next-gen, and some thought it looked good, despite a few flaws. That's how opinions work. We've all moved on, now that it's been delayed. You coming in late in the game throwing "Damage Control" accusations at people after the fact is like bringing Twitter into my safe space.

No you didn't.
I have an xbox, ps4 and switch. Switch gets most of my gaming time, but that's beside the point, I'm not doing into the Ratchet thread and post about how much damage controlling being done about its Mario 64 graphics.

I agree with that. It feels like the demo was farted out. I've read before that E3 demos are a pain because you have to carve out a peice and take away dev resources to button it up. Maybe they didn't want to spend too much time on it.

Any way you slice it, they should have at least shown one big moment to get the people hooked. I wonder if they were planning on showing it differently and when the first MS showcase got lambasted for not showing gameplay they thought that would be the way to go.

It's also possible there is a lot to spoil, so they dont want to ruin anything.

Regardless, they should certainly know better for sure..

Sorry, but it is correctly stated “It’s not my fault Halo did not impress.”

Unimpressed is an adjective, not a verb.
