Can Halo Infinite make a COMEBACK? - Send News #23

2020 Episode 21 July 31, 2020

It’s fair to say the Xbox Studios Summer Showcase left a lot of Halo fans (and anxious Series X stans) with more questions than answers. Particularly, a majority felt underwhelmed by the graphical fidelity of Halo Infinite. So, today on Send News we’re asking: what do you do to freshen up a decade-old franchise? What will it take for Halo Infinite to reclaim the franchise’s glory days? In addition, Brian, Alanah, Conor and Evan take a moment to reflect on their time playing Ghost of Tsushima and consequently write a haiku (not really but we should have). Of course, we’re also talking about the news this week! Star Citizen fans are finally saying “Enough Is Enough!” when it comes to Cloud Imperium’s lack of updates, and Superdata compares metrics on this summer's game showcases with last year’s E3. Sit down and have a listen to all this and more on this week’s episode of Inside Gaming Presents: Send News! 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:36 - Can Halo Infinite make a comeback? 00:21:17 - Talking Ghost of Tsushima 00:38:14 - Star Citizen fans are finally pissed 00:52:23 - Is E3 really dead? 01:01:11 - Listener Question 1 01:04:16 - Listener Question 2 More podcast episodes here! https://link.chtbl.com/IGPodcast Or buy our shirt! https://is.gd/u3xCtA OR follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/briangaar http://twitter.com/@DarthBurrit0 http://twitter.com/mc_lotta https://twitter.com/Charalanahzard http://twitter.com/InsideGaming SOURCES [Reddit] Star Citizen fans have had enough https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/hx1s6v/4_months_ago_cig_promised_more_regular_updates/… [Robert Space Industries] Star Citizen dev responds https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/3/thread/squadron-42-roadmap-update/3… [GamesIndustry.biz] E3 isn’t really needed? https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-07-30-superdata-publisher-showcases-were-not-hurt-by-abs…

I've seen people compare the graphics of Halo: Infinite to The Last of Us 2, which is hardly seems fair to compare a game still in development to a finished product.

@K0Z are those people blind?

@K0Z do you agree?

@oscarrafael1900tgt I'm fairly certain that the people making the comparison were just PlayStation fanboys who were intentionally putting out a bad faith argument to troll the Xbox crowd (i.e. pointless console wars nonsense). But people will still latch onto that because people like to compare X to Y.

I would love to explore the concept of a company "cutting off" someone's liscense to a physical copy of a game. I mean, with digital, it's easy, they just suspend or remove an account or something, whether intentionally or by accident. But I don't see how Sony's gonna lock me out of playing my Dark Cloud 2 disk on my PS2. What, are they gonna hire some goons to break down my door and rip it off my shelf? Look, I get that "own" isn't the technical term for the game cartridges and disks we posses, but aside from making copies and selling them, we can pretty much do whatever the heck we want with them, and no one can reasonably stop us. Some of that gets sacrificed with digitally downloaded games, and even more gets sacrificed with streamed games. Not that I think either of those are necessarilly worse, they're more like trade-offs since they have their own advantages. I just wish people would acknowledge a lot of the immediate and long-term aspects of physical games that being traded away for the perks of the digitally downloaded games (and now, streamed).
