Halo Infinite would have launched sooner if not for the backlash enacted by followers who have been sad with the route of Halo 5.
Let’s be actual right here – constructive criticism good, vehement backlash in the direction of individuals you don’t know on the web dangerous. I want to suppose 343 Industries was extra swayed by considerate consideration from long-time followers of the sequence than xTrueGamer69x having a cry as a result of Master Chief remembered he might run, however who is aware of.
Either approach, the complete story of Infinite was reworked as a result of followers disliked Halo 5 (I didn’t play 5 as a result of I disliked 4, however I simply seemed up the plot of 5 and… oh).
The information comes from a YouTube video printed by Alanah Pearce. Pearce performed a preview construct of Halo Infinite earlier than yesterday’s Xbox showcase, and obtained the chance to speak with some devs from 343 Industries.
As properly as discussing the delay, Pearce mentions the truth that yesterday’s Halo Infinite gameplay used footage from an early build. On prime of that, she talks about how the Halo Infinite pilot is basically the new Cortana, and says that Halo Infinite could feature multiple worlds.
Check out the video beneath.
“The main thing that they kept pressing on was – from what I can tell as a response to the criticism: We built this to be a love letter to Halo,” Pearce says. “This is very much a spiritual reboot.”
“They were so focused on making sure it feels like Halo,” she continues. “I was actually told by someone at the studio – though not officially – that Halo Infinite was delayed. It was originally going to come out sooner but they reworked the story because the fan response to Halo 5 was fairly negative, so they re-envisioned things and are kind of restarting Halo.”
If you missed it yesterday, try the official Halo Infinite trailer. It’s obtained grappling hooks and Energy Swords. What extra might you need?
