Halo Infinite - Campaign Hands-on Previews

Phil recently talked about the whole cbomb issue and how they’re looking to fix that, like how playstation did when they got backlash over it. Think Destin made a video on that. That must extend to the whole online requirement to set up the console, which is a needless requirement and it going away I think would solve half the problem.

Ultimately, I do think all this matters, but oh well, let’s agree to disagree I guess.

Well, that made Xbox One the first main home console to not be hacked and play pirated games, ever. It’s not needless for sure to them and publishers.

It’s all hypothetical and panick-y though. It’s needless worry about stuff that might be a problem in 20 years or so, I seriously wouldn’t give it much energy.

I mean game preservation is precisely about long term, 20 years is not even that far btw, so that’s indeed the whole core of the matter, it’s not about the world two weeks from now, unless of course the Omicron variant built different this time around and gets most of us in the coming week or two lol.

Like music to my ears!

Because I play so much more slowly than the average player, this campaign might end up being 25+ hours for me.

8 hours for a speed run. Seems ridiculous. Like this must be some huge ass campaign that’s 30 plus hours.

Yep, same here. When a sandbox allows many ways to play and take on enemies, experiment etc, and also explore every little corner for logs/journals, it’s gonna take a long ass time! :slight_smile:

Been on a lore research wave for the last 2 days or so.

The Banished are a really interesting concept, I’m really excited to see how they get fleshed out in this.

I wouldnt use a speedrun achievement as an example of how long it could take

Considering some of the movement we’ve already seen people pull off in the campaign, im expecting much quicker times, like even if the game is huge I wouldn’t be surprised to see sub 1 hour times, Skyrim can be played for hundreds of hours but a glitchless speedrun on the hardest difficulty back in the day was over an hour

But thats speedruns from top players blittzing through the main story, I fully expect most people on their first run to take well over what any of the original games took

obviously looking at lore of zeta halo, I dont see how we don’t get a full flood expansion (and with hw1 and hw2, it can be a full faction instead of just a handful of forms(carrier,infection,combat,pure)

Preload is live now. 28GB on Sereis S.

Always a possibility, I’m pretty confident they aren’t in the base game but who knows what the future has in store for Infinite in terms of expansions.

Interested to know the size on XB1 & XSX…

Its 28 on Series X but nothing really downloaded for me.

Yeah me too, It gives me an update for the game but nothing is downloading :giphy:
