As much as i am looking forward to Infinite, i really don't want to see any campaign footage at all until i actually play the game myself. I know some people may think that's weird, but that's how i want to experience this game - totally unspoiled.
@InterceptorAlpha That's a really nice controller you have there, wish i could afford one. I have heard the Power A Fusion Pro 2 Controllers are ok, i might treat myself to one.
I think i maybe in the minority here but the design is ugly. Hopefully in 12 - 18 months time from now Series x will be more regularly available to buy in stores and there will be some special editions from Capcom and Turn 10 Studios.
I would love to see Fear and Fear 2 added to backwards compatibility (with 4k and 60FPS please) and Outun 2 and Outrun 2006. While the former is possible with the latter i'm more likely to go into a game store this year and pick up a shiny new Series X.
I have an X Box X and because a lot of games i have/plan to get are enhanced on Series X i definitely want one by next November as i also plan to get a 42" LG OLED. If they are still not easily available at that time i will be willing to pay extra and get one from CEX or Game.
I've just seen this news story and i personally think this looks better than the Halo Infinite limited edition console. I just wish there were other ways to win this console as i am not on Twitter and it seems nowadays you need to have a twitter account to enter these type of competitions which i think is a little unfair.
@Halucigens I understand and there are more important things to worry about right now but i just find it really frustrating that i can't go to a store and buy a Series X. Sony seem to be releasing PS5s at a much more regular occurence than Microsoft for some reason.
Don't care about "story" in games and never will, what i do care about however is gameplay but that's just me. Hopefully the campaign in Infinite will be of the quality of the earlier Halo games. Looking forward to it.
@Benjamin It used to be when i went on a gaming website it was all news, now the websites are full of their personal opinions and even their lives. They need to stick to news articles and nothing else.
@BulkSlash I agree with you, i need to watch it in 4k. I was hoping the rumours of the game being set in Mexico were untrue and it would be in Japan or China. However, maybe Mexico City will look great, we shall see.
I am bitterly disappointed by that, only two games interest me Halo and Forza. Why did they not show any new gameplay campaign footage for Halo Infinite? Shocking. I'm worried about the quality of this game.
To take full advantage of the new hardware takes time, if Forza Horizon 5 is released this year i think people shouldn't be expected to be blown away by the visuals. Don't get me wrong, i love the games and i'll be happy if it is.
I don't have a display that supports it or an Xbox Series X so i don't know what all the fuss is about which is frustrating as i mainly play first person shooters. Hopefully by November i will have both. I can't wait.
If i want a good story i would read a book series or watch a US TV drama. For me gameplay was, is and will always be king. When i listen to a podcast and an idiot goes on about "the story" i just laugh my head off. Pac- Man Championship Edition and the sequels are the best games i've played in years. Pure gameplay.
I'll be surprised if Forza Horizon 5 is released before Forza Motorsport 8. I like both games but when Motorsport 8 is released it needs to be supported more than 7 was with DLC and new cars over time.
As strange as it may sound i don't look at what is being released in the future so when a great game is released i am genuinely surprised. I am aware of Halo Infinite of course and a few others but i don't seek out info on new games or watch game trailers.
I love FP shooters and i love the Halo campaigns, i even like Halo 5 which honestly is bad. November can't come soon enough as far as i'm concerned but summer is what i'm really looking forward to.
It's funny i have wanted a green one for so long but now i have seen it i prefer the red and blue one. Maybe the shade of green isn't quite right for my taste.
There seems to be a lot of armchair coders on these forums. Let's all judge the game when it's released, i am optimistic it will be great when it's finally finished.
I will never buy an OLED because of the potential of burn in. Samsung QLEDs might not have better black levels but they go brighter and no risk of burn in. You pay your money you take your chance.
I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news. I hope the game is out next year at the latest - 5 years in development and still not released - that is inexcusable.

I'm looking forward to these. The qualities of both OLED and QLED without any disadvantages. The future looks bright indeed.
