You also have to consider that the game is coming November. I'm sure there will be enough Series X's for everyone by then. But, I do see your point.Magabro5382 wrote:Assuming that people can buy the Series X, which I couldn't...Gridlock0072496 wrote:A difference is Cyberpunk was made for PC players, whilst 343i has said directly it was made for the Series X.

I guess there are currently 50 million Xbox One's and it would be truly remarkable if the Series X could sell even 10 million units by the time that Halo Infinite releases.
Cyberpunk was always a cross gen release. It was announced for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Further into development it was announced that a Series S/X and PS5 version would come in 2021.Gridlock0072496 wrote:A difference is Cyberpunk was made for PC players, whilst 343i has said directly it was made for the Series X.

Cyberpunk may have been marketed for Cross-Gen but the primary development platform has always been the PC, console versions are ports thereof. As such, the PC is also the version that seems most polished. Still not on an acceptable level, of course, but miles better than the other releases.eviltedi wrote:Cyberpunk was always a cross gen release. It was announced for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Yes, initially Halo Infinite was for Series S/X. I read that too. I think it should be exclusive for Series S/X and PC. But they decided to release on all Xbox consoles. I'm still not convinced that will happen. I think there are more bombshell announcements to come.
I think focusing on new gen is the way to go as well, it's how it's always been when a new game comes out for a new console.. people with the old console had to upgrade.una yp wrote:.... the point is its pulled dev time awy from the game and the focus on getting it working on old systems. .. focusing on nxt gen is the way to go .

Well cyberpunk sure plays fine on my Xbox one s so -Yoink!- with that garbage argument.una yp wrote:i agree, mean fs let the old consoles die. this games coming to pc as well so you already have more platforms than previous halos.
As others have said cyberpunk shows how much work is needed to try and get nxt gen games to work on old gen systems and its just not worth the hassle. just think how much better cp could of been if they didn't have to spend loads of dev time trying to get cp working on the ps4 at 25 fps lol.
let it go MS. focus on nxt gen systems and pc.
The really nice thing if old generation consoles do perform well with all of this is the player base!lil proPhitt wrote:I'm for whichever decision means that Halo Infinite will be and perform the absolute best that it can.

Considering that the July 2020 gameplay was running on a high spec PC and still looked bad. Imagine how bad and how poorly the old gen consoles were and are....SmoothSaylor wrote:The really nice thing if old generation consoles do perform well with all of this is the player base!lil proPhitt wrote:I'm for whichever decision means that Halo Infinite will be and perform the absolute best that it can.

I'm too excited 😁
The demo's graphics were not finished, far from it, in fact. 343 said themselves that several more texturing passes have been done at this point, and the most recent screenshots we've seen have supported this. You can't judge the quality of a painting when it's not even finished yet.Sparhawk122 wrote:Considering that the July 2020 gameplay was running on a high spec PC and still looked bad.

Old gen is too outdated. All it does it hold back progress. Aka cripple new game development..
Cyberpunk. Yes I know, but it was always coming to base Xbox One and PS4, it was announced like that long before we knew about Series X/S. My point being it was not made only for PC players, the Series X port is very good too, but as you say, still not acceptable.Celestis wrote:As for Halo Infinite, to my knowledge the game was primarily developed for the Xbox One X, not the Xbox Series X.eviltedi wrote:Cyberpunk was always a cross gen release.

Honestly, true. And there is the cheaper version of next-gen with the Series S. People won't be limited to the $500 upgrade of the Series X.Fos Kuvol wrote:Remember when new games were designed specifically with the new console in mind? And didn't try to "cross generations"?
Last I checked Halo 3 was NOT on the OG Xbox, and Halo 5 was NOT on the 360.
Suck it up and leave the old tech behind.
Likely the Xbox Series S will be available in bigger numbers soon too. And the MSRP is $300 so it is very affordable.lil proPhitt wrote:Honestly, true.

Exactly. They were new gen only launch titles. Which worked best and hence why they were leaps and bounds from each other technology wise.Fos Kuvol wrote:Remember when new games were designed specifically with the new console in mind? And didn't try to "cross generations"?

I agree 100%, suck it up, buy the new gen console. Just compare it to the yearly phone upgrades. As console gamers, we are lucky.Sparhawk122 wrote:Exactly. They were new gen only launch titles.

With Halo: Infinite being cross gen it will not feel like a big improvement from current gen games. And people will be disappointed as they will expect a new gen experience when they play the game; and they will not get it.
