Secondly, he implied that Halo is somehow deserving of extra credit compared to PlayStation 5 games because it’s ‘cross-gen with Xbox One’. It remains to be seen whether all these new elements actually work as a Halo game. It’s also clear that Halo Infinite is a game that’s gone through many twists and turns in its long development and doesn’t quite know what it wants to be. Compare it to what we’ve seen of Horizon Forbidden West, for example, and it’s clearly not at that level either visually or in its fluid gameplay.
While I agree it looked much better and was a vast improvement from its first reveal we shouldn’t get carried away. Regarding Austin’s letter in yesterday’s Inbox who said Halo Infinite is up there with the best PlayStation 5 games. They really should take a leaf out of Microsoft’s book, and there’s not many things you can say that about. There’s no consistency in terms of the quality of the emulation/remasters or when and what gets brought back.
