The latest episode of the Dealer - Gaming podcast, which has featured current and former Microsoft employees in the past, has reported that Halo Infinite has something "really cool" in common with popular PS4 title God of War.
While not directly suggesting what it might be, the host of the podcast explained that they'll point out the similarities after it's been revealed, which will presumably be at Inside Xbox in July:
"The only thing I'll say about Halo Infinite is that it has something in common with God of War that we'll point out after it's actually revealed, that we learned about recently that's really cool. And again, Halo Infinite is apparently a juggernaut."
As with all rumours, we obviously suggest taking this with a pinch of salt. If it's true though, it'll be interesting to see what that similarity turns out to be... hopefully we'll find out in just a few short weeks!
Do you buy this rumour? What do you think it's referring to? Give us your suggestions below.

The only thing I can think of is that it might seamlessly transition from gameplay to cutscene, like it's all on one camera.
Either that, or Master Chief has adopted a young BOI.
Chief says boy over 119 times?
My guess is it being a soft reboot.
Edit: Everybody in the thread is guessing a one shot camera style, and I have to say that if it's that, and they zoom out of Chief to view the cutscenes then slide back inside his head for the action, then 343i would once again be showing how dumb they can be. The point of a first person camera is to tell the story from a first person POV. A one shot camera is a second person POV. Narratively, having a one shot camera swap between first and second person would serve no purpose.
This had better be good. I can't wait for July.
BOI confirmed
I can’t wait for Infinite.
My hopes:
Open-worldish
Heart-touching plot
Perfect startup point without having to play every other game in the series.
I wouldn't think the camera as Halo is First Person - Maybe a hub that changes at various points in the story to allow access to other areas - like the central hub in GoW that the water level drops?
@Olliemar28 I think thet is very likely the thing. There are bits of it in Discover Hope trailer.
@BrilliantBill Yes, spot on. I've gone back to check, and there are only two obvious cuts: when Chief is brought in from outside, and when he's powered on. The rest is one continuous take.
I think that it's no-cut camera. It's noticable in discover hope trailer.
I ain't getting hyped until I dodge that coronavirus until July. Until then, and after, I will continue to 💩 my pants until rona is gone for good, or fully treatable.
Hopefully it isn’t the single-take gimmick. Halo has had well crafted cutscenes before and I wouldn't want to see that replaced with a single-take.
Well, obviously Master Chief has a beard now.
and when he throws a grenade, he can call it back.
Maybe a weapon summon similar to the leviathan?
ewwww, single take camera. I bet it's that. It was kind of neat when it was used in Children of Men, and Gravity is fantastic. But it's kind of a self-congratulating gimmick. I wasn't a fan of it in Metal Gear V so I hope they do a better job in this.
I believe it was HiddenXperia who talks about this.
If you're hyped for Infinite and love Halo in general (particularly the lore) I can't recommend his Youtube Channel enough
Chief is going to battle against the gods (zeus etc) and kick their but.
Lol just kidding, i have no idea.
I'd imagine it follows a similar hub-like structure, but I can also see them going for the single camera take presentation. Not sure if I think it's a good fit for Halo, though, but I suppose it depends on what kind of story they're trying to tell. It could work for a more personal tale delving into the Chief's psyche, but no so well if it's going to be typical Halo fare.
Also, Master Chief and Kratos are both Spartans.
