One thing I miss so far in Halo Infinite though is the purple and Covenant art style. I wish that the Banished environements would look a little more distinctive or alien. More red.
The Covenant installations had something grandiose or artistic lol (even though the Banished are known to be more “practical” and all we’ve seen are just mostly outposts).
I fail to see the equivalent between Everwild and Sea of Thieves Hindle
Unless we get a Halo spin off in the vein of ODST or a Halo Wars 3 thats closer to 1 than 2 I dont want anything else
One team is on Sea of Thieves, whilst another works on the next big thing.
I believe the same is happening with 343, well its confirmed as they are hiring for a new game
Halo 3rd person Arbiter hack n slash.
Get Team Ninja
Everytime those job listings pop up with that vague language emplying another game it has always been shut down cause we get a dozen articles insinuating it.
Also dont think 343 would want to split the eventual Infinite playerbase unless its for something like Halo Wars which is entirely different.
If you read that comment, i said I think the new game will be completely different to Infinite, a new genre
If it’s a new genre it’s a side game and Infinite continues on as the mainline game.
Crazy
Ubernick and Miles on WC Gaming going indepth
Watched the overview, I thought visuals are decent. Gameplay looks smooth and seems like it will be fun to explore Halo.
I have main concerns regarding the story. I dont follow the halo lore and I only play the games, So I hope I dont get lost in the story of the banished.
I really do hope the story is great, if not clearing those bases is going to get boring for me.
They been adamant that the story will be welcoming for new players and rewarding for veterans
All the gameplay seems to be from the first main key plot of the story which is chief retrieving the weapon
343 has done it i have not see the Halo Community this united with praise for them.
Halo is back! Looks incredible and looking at the gameplay, feels so good and satisfying. Gimme now!
I haven’t seen the Halo community this united ever, really. That’s actually a damn impressive achievement if you ask me.
The thing with The Banished is that they are a very new and small (albeit growing fast) faction, unlike Covenant which is ancient and large and has had a lot of time to establish its unique identity across domains, be it architecture, design, weapons, religion, symbolism, etc. Whereas Banished is a faction of scavengers, who are spending more time scavenging others stuff and modifying it to make it their their own. As such, their characteristic architecture and design isn’t as grandiose as the Forerunners or the Covenant and is more “makeshift” or as you mentioned yourself, more practical. Being a wholly militaristic faction right now without any funding from anyone (unlike the Covenant) ensures they have no time to sit around and carve out an elaborate identity, so find whatever you can and make it your own is the name of the game. But I’m sure if they survive for long, hundreds to thousands of years, and aren’t entirely at war all the time, then yeah, they too will perhaps start having a more distinct and rich style.
Either way, I agree, I hope we see more environments of theirs outside just the outposts and some ship interior, but I doubt there is anything else of theirs to begin with lol. But we’ll see.
Looks like the OG Halo but for the next gen, simply cant not wait
Not a single set piece of the 2018 trailer is gameplay. Cutscenes with controlled camera positions and focus on the beauty always look better. I think if you compare the 2018 trailer to the final cutscenes from Halo Infinite you will be pleased.
You also have to remember this 2018 trailer is only to confirm that Halo Infinite art is possible to represent with Slipspace. And they succeeded in that. Yes, vegetation with trees is way denser in the trailer. This always bugged me a bit. Then i remembered how shitty it is to drive the Warthog through the forests in FH4. Maybe this is for the better this way.
Did you watch this?
