Seriously, The Xbox One Version Of Halo Infinite Hasn't Been Cancelled

Well that settles that.

Now we can all move on with our lives. Lol.

As much as I wish it were true, just cancelling the game wouldn't be enough. It'd need another delay to entirely rewrite the game design that factored in the original hardware. Not just turn sliders up.

Are people really this stupid or are they trying hard at it? As if someone's LinkedIn profile is any indication of whether a game has been cancelled or not

After Cyberpunk debacle, I think it makes sense to release on series X first and then last gen later on. Also, I can wait as long as they need to make it good. I don’t really mess around with multiplayer, which seems to be the major focus of this game, anyway.

Maybe because the game won't look next-gen?

People shouldn't worry being a c2077 situation. 343 is not that ambicious and the world is not that filled nor big.

@LiterallyDoNotCare No. You're right. CDProjektRed is known for making good games. 343 is not.

So when 343's Halo "Let's Remove Features That Have Been There for Over 20 Years" Infinite is awful, nobody will be surprised.

All that being said, quite a disappointment this is still going to be on last gen. Particularly since it is shaping up to be a GaaS release. These types of games are meant to have long term support. So naturally it will be held back for the years to come because of them needing to keep parity between a console like th Series X and, that are genuinely impressive and the Xbox One that had awful specs when it released 7 years ago.

@InterceptorAlpha Yeah. You are right. Being GaaS should be concerning, but a lot of ps4/x1 games will be alive on ps5/xs (siege, ow, fortnite etc...) so it's not that bad, but would have loved something next gen. I am skipping this if it gets a flat 80. I lost interest in the franchise.

There seems to be a lot of armchair coders on these forums.
Let's all judge the game when it's released, i am optimistic it will be great when it's finally finished.

To be honest it wouldn’t really matter if it was cancelled because most Halo fans would either have already upgraded to the new console or would rather wait until they picked up the new system first, then again most people I know who game on Xbox have turned to PC instead

@carlos82 I'm inclined to believe they are trying hard in this case.

I think people have such a twisted sense of worth when it comes to games, that everything they play needs to be a graphical showcase and/or masterpiece that the thought of a new game they really want (Infinite) not being that, needs to "fixed". And since the xbox series nor the developers can be blamed (though it is the dev's fault here) they are looking for something else to blame. In this case the xb1. And by mounting an attack on last gen or looking for proof the xb1 version has been dropped, they think they will get that graphical marvel masterpiece they require so badly to validate their excitment (and future glowing praise) of this game.

Wish they would scrap the xbox one version, Just have it a Series X exclusive.

@Nermannn

Halo’s campaign is always a huge focus of the games. It’s more like 50/50 with the Halo series. Obviously, the multiplayer is hugely popular, but I wouldn’t call it the “main” focus.

So, this means the X1 version is cancelled tho right? Imma tweet 343 to make sure.
