Was that even the same engine?

It was, supposedly.
One could argue that the In-Engine Trailer showed what we could have had if they would've ditched last gen Xbox and focused more on a linear gameplay experience than the open world abomination we got.
I might sound negative, but I'll only acknowledge the graphics/art style once I see actual gameplay and none of that "in-engine" bullshot-stuff.

Please be good, Id love to go back to Halo for a blast with some PS bros!

Halo infinite felt great to play but the campaign was a 7.5 at best and the multiplayer was terribly designed from a UI perspective and they had server issues. It ruined any chance of a great halo game.

I think 7.5 is way too high. I firmly come from the camp that a 5/10 is mediocre which would mean a 7.5 is just shy of great and Infinite's campaign was far from great.

I don't even know what to rate Infinite's campaign because I never played it past the first boss despite playing the multiplayer every week since it came out. First level was...okay but kinda paint by number?

The campaign has it's moments
I think the weapon is a cute character and her interactions with Chief were done well even if she's just a Cortana clone on purpose, and there is a single boss fight that was actually very well done involving an Elite
but overall it was just very bland and lifeless. The single biome with the same small amount of in world things to do definitely doesn't help either.
 
Absolutely crazy that in my younger days, I was hardcore console warrior. Halo on PlayStation would NEVER happen. And now here we are....

Seeing Halo boxart with the PS5 logo is gonna be wild.
Need to make a poster to hang on my wall lol.

I can see them announcing and shadow dropping the Master Chief Collection tomorrow after announcing the Halo 1 Remake for next year. The way Microsoft values Halo right now, the immediate need for profit, and the quick porting opportunity of the MCC with no changes makes sense to me. Microsoft would think to themselves "no one would want the original Halo games when we release the remake so lets release those originals now on the other platforms while we wait for the development of the remake."

A big win for us fans because we get both.
 
Infinite is not the way to introduce Halo to other platforms. This should be MCC, with an announcement for Halo 6 coming to PlayStation. If they're even making a full new entry that is.

I think it's safe to assume that there won't be any new entries to the series for a good long while. Remakes of 2 and 3 will garner more attention.

If they are indeed remaking CE and launching a companion live service for the 25th anniversary they'll likely start there.

UE5 makes it much easier for multiplatform.

The actual story does indeed end with 3, what came after was bad fan fiction.

Providing they don't bodge it, they can rely of3 UE5 remakes over the next decade.

They are doing a full remake of OG halo as their test run for UE5. With mechanical changes like sprint etc being added. It will be a great way for Playstation users to be introduced to the series I guess?

Smart move would be remake 2 and 3 after in UE5.

Halo is largely a nostalgia franchise and there's a lot of nostalgic refugees over on PlayStation.

No one cares about the "next chapter", it'd just be more poor fan fiction from creatively bankrupt writers. Any hope for a good story going forward died with Joseph Staten's departure.

If they are going to remake 2 may as well take the opportunity to make an actually good game removing the dual weapons and reworking 90% of the enemies and engagements.
 
I doubt they announce anything today. Friday seems like an unusual day for an announcement unless they shadow drop it so people can play over the weekend.

Idk it looks like if they announce anything it will be on Sunday. 🤷‍♂️

There's also a 1pm "Halo Studios Project Deep Dive today.

There's absolutely nothing on the schedule this weekend following that.

We're 7 hours away from the announcement and 8 hours away from the deep dive.
