Halo Infinite Dev Responds To Xbox One Version Cancellation Rumors

In my opinion it is nice to keep the older systems in the loop as not many cannot probably afford the new system but at the same time the newer version to me is being hamstringed by the older versions. I like MS but they are creating chaos and hope they make it clear what they are truly emphasizing.

So many false and stupid rumors about this lately lol. I swear the backlash this game is getting seems massively overblown.

@2_Quiet_2_Riot: Sort of agree, since I'm not going to play it on the old Xbone and want it to be the best it can be

At the same time, there are millions of Xbox Ones out there likely bought with Halo in mind, and the current gen has only gotten one Halo fps of its own so far, which is unusual, so I wouldn't blame those people for feeling abandoned if this happened

I've been trying to explain this to people for the last 6 months but they kept insisting that Xbox games were going to be held back and that the Xbox Series X games were going to look like ass because they have to make the game for the worst spec'd system and then port it to the better spec'd system without any improvements. Its like they don't realize PC games are a real thing. Some were saying games will be a pixilated mess because they have to develop the game for cell phones and tablets first. Doh! They don't have to develop the game for phones or tablets at all. The games will be running on Xbox One's at first and then later on servers. The games will be streamed to phones and tablets, they won't be installed like a program on these devices so no, they won't be developing a phone version of the game then a tablet version of the game and porting them to console and PC. People need to understand how streaming works. Your device is basically a dumb terminal. It simply accepts the video stream and displays it and sends controller input data back to the streaming device. It doesn't run the freaking game like a program or app. Its a bit more complicated than that but that's the quick and dirty version. I was wondering how long it would take for Spencer to finally put this BS to rest.

As far as rumors go, if its something that sounds like a really stupid move or too good to be true, its likely been started by people who hate Microsoft or people doing some wishful thinking. Like Microsoft was ever going to make Xbox Live Gold free.

As we suspected it was all made up rumors by possible Sony Fanboys on the internet.

This is turning out to be just like the US presidential election with their fake news and rumors.

Well what they don't realize is that even with fake news, they are helping Xbox to keep trending on the internet ....lol

I am just curious about the fact if developers want to support xbox one x and ps4 pro and above if they can ? if they are allowed by the company ? Because its a shame having more gpu power and a bit more cpu power than the base consoles and not being supported, that being 1080p resolution or lower settings with that . The fact that those consoles came out only a few years ago at extra cost and not being supported more is confusing . I am not sure if they have the adoption that developers need but about power we have seen this generation games being ported to the switch .

Who in their right mind would believe anything that comes from MS/343i at this point? They flip flop on a weekly basis. They're saying this now, but give it a month and we'll be seeing articles that begin with "We have made the difficult decision to shift our focus of Halo Infinite to the next generation Xbox Series X to ensure and deliver a Halo game experience that meets our vision. We thank our fans for understanding".

F*ck off, 343i. Incompetent af dev.

A PC with graphics power roughly equal to the 2013 Xbox One would fall waaaaaay below the minimum specs for a lot of new games today

I feel Phil is half only half right on his "held back" speech. While it's true that usually PC versions of things look the best, usually consoles will have something unique about them that separates them from what a PC is capable of. I would say the PS4/Xbox One were the first consoles that maybe were different and offered nothing new.

But when I see the way the SSD is implemented in the PS5 for example, and the ratchet and clank demo, it makes it seem like if they co-developed that for the PS4, it would have definitely been "held back". Mark Cerny mentioned specifically having to develop worlds and maps in the past based on caching data and making certain concessions that they don't necessarily have to consider going forward. If you were developing that for PC, you would have to consider those still or make the required specs stupidly high.

That’s a shame. It reminds me of how ff14 was held back because of the ps3 version

Halo looks fine, shadow warrior 3 looks amazing, ms fs is the new crysis.
