@Krzzystuff that’s funny as I’m feeling the opposite!

Remember MS just announced 20 or so timed exclusives during their showcase. It’s not like Sony are alone in doing this.

@WesEds I agree. The saltiness is really strong, especially on here!

@Z3u5000 dude why don’t YOU play ghost of Tsushima and tell us if YOU like it rather than repeating others opinions.

If you did I’d be surprised if you didn’t like it. It has one of the highest user meta critic ratings of any game this gen.

Anyway on topic, I think the classic halo look is a good idea after recent releases. It’s just a shame it didn’t show off the power of the XSX.

I enjoyed the Touryst in switch, the art style was gorgeous!

@BlueOcean you have good points but I’d say Nintendo have had consoles with old tech since the GC and even before then with N64 and gameboy. However they still always have massive success due to their games being so good, with the exception of wii u of course!

@kuliddar you can determine all that just from that small quote?!

Gabe’s always preferred Xbox to PS

Basically this is an Xbox one game and they haven’t had the time to “optimise” it for series x. I have a feeling this will be improved post-launch...

I liked the art direction of of the demo, just not so keen on how it’s been delivered (so far)

@BlueOcean didn’t mean to derail the thread, just that a commenter posted about PS4 so wanted to recommend a game, that’s all.

I’m sure halo will look better when released, I’m just surprised in what was shown that’s all.

@BlueOcean you could be right but I don’t buy the “using an old build” argument.

This is the proper first world unveiling of MS’s new console - the most powerful console in the world as they keep telling us. Why show it off with something that actually doesn’t show it off? I mean the difference between that and what was shown at Sony’s recent showcase is massive. I don’t understand it.

Not only that but Halo is their flagship title, they’ve literally been planning this moment for years, why would they use “old builds?”

Nintendo or Sony don’t use old builds, it doesn’t make sense why MS would, especially at a premier event.

@Hobbesyall if you get a PS4 I’d recommend ghost of tsushima if you like samurais. Great game!

Fable would get my vote but not sure how confident I am without Molyneux at the helm

@BlueOcean do you mean gameplay demos for PS5 as they also showed Horizon 2, Demon Souls, Ratchet and others too!

Frame rate and resolution doesn’t help with pop in and low-res textures though.

Gameplay looks great but I’m surprised at how it looked after all the talk Phil had been saying, especially for the flagship title.
