I think I am done with Halo. They are going to need to knock the next game out of the park and tie up all the losses storylines they have. Then I may return.

Here's to hoping that leaked remaster gets released someday. Been enjoying playing that on the Steam Deck.

"much better state when it launches"....

I can not wait for this gens buggy Bethesda game that still needs fix by community mods. Lol.

Yeah...... Boo.... Lame....

They have the money just didn't see the profit return so they decided against it.

I mean.... Is this what Halo fans wanted.... Ray tracing???

I'd rather have local co-op (even if just beta) or more campaign missions, dlc, or even new game plus.

It's a nice little gamepass machine and if anything if support is dropped that will be fine for me since I could just stream the game on the system instead.

But I do agree with others talking about games that are also released on PC.... Perhaps Xbox games should come with graphic options. Honestly it's just two different hardware compared to the many different configurations of PC. And I was under the assumption since the architecture was very similar between PC and consoles that doing something as simple as graphic settings for different hardware wouldn't be an issue.

Series S should be just a 1080p system with no raytracing. Lower shadow quality and effects. Maybe there is more to it but I don't understand the issue or what the requirements are.

So the game is still in alpha??

@Tarps so I saw a video showing that it is possible to play the OG N64 version with two controllers and using player two controller for moving the camera. Basically a way to do dual sticks in the game and there was no modding involved. It was a controller option in the original game. Haven't been able to verify but it's cool.

Also from what I recall the OG had major aim assist much like Doom games of old.

@Banjo- I hope when the remaster does it comes to all consoles. Playing the one that got leaked was awesome. Being able to swap back and forth between old and new was nice.

@Banjo- the N64 app and the other retro system apps on the switch have online baked in. Basically it's local multiplayer but you can do it online now. There is no online added to these games. They are basically emulators that enable the ability to do online.

It's prob the only way Nintendo would allow this to happen. Rumor is they are the reason the remake didn't come to light.

@Richnj well that's confusing cause the screenshots that have been shared of the Xbox version are straight up from the N64 version but higher resolution.

Edit .. got confused with remaster and remake lol. My bad

@Richnj I have not seen anything official today say it's a remaster. The tweet says faithfully recreated and the trailer has the og intro in high res not the leaked intro that is the remake.

@J_Mo_Money actually I doubt it's the remaster version
Here is why.
1 they say faithfully recreated
2. It has the Rare replay abnner
3. The intro they used for the trailer for the Xbox version is not the remastered version. It's a high res version of the original

@J_Mo_Money this is most likely the reason

Does faithful recreation mean it's not the remake that was leaked a while back???

Either way it's cool.

It's well deserved.

I don't think we Halo fans ever asked for 4 player spilt screen co-op. Just the stand 2 player co-op that has been a series staple. Honestly don't understand 343i decision to not go thru with this especially if 4 player on series X is working as well as it is. 2 player should be feasible and I do believe with online co-op there is a limit to how far you can get away from each other.

@pip_muzz no kidding

Thankfully I played this thru gamepass. Glad I didn't buy it

Really happy I didn't buy this game but was able to play it via Gamepass. May jump back in again later

The trend of micro transactions being a huge money maker probably changed this game fundamentally and why it was delayed for so long. I firmly believe without any evidence that the game was originally going to be more of a better Black Flag but with the assassin's Creed stuff. Now that it is has gone this route I'm going to go the toure of not buying it.

I was excited for this game especially since I just started playing black flag on my switch earlier this year (I've been following gaming news for a long time so I've known about skull and bones for a long time) but after the trailer announcement of multiplayer I said nope and that was that.

Online service based??? Yeah I'm gonna pass and stick to playing black flag on my switch.

Are they trying to avoid crunch or are they just not prepared for live service? Maybe they need to enlist some outside hell from a dev who is experienced in live service games.

Writing has been on the wall for a long time. Physical media these days is dead. It's rare to get a game fully on physical media these days. Patches and free dlc or even paid dlc makes physical obsolete and until that changes game preservation will have to rely on the community and the internet.

Nice! With the limited storage space on the series s this will make trying out other games or freeing up space easy

@SplooshDmg they def area product of their time. It can be hard to go back and replay old games sometimes.

Noticed this in San Andreas. Opening scene the officers faces were hard to see. Gonna try this temp fix

Games as a service model is horrible.

This is awesome! Be nice to just have one app to manage Xbox games on PC. Seeing as I don't have a series x yet Xcloud and gamepass on PC has basically made it so I don't need to get one.
