Xbox biggest exclusive game – Halo Infinite – got delayed to fall 2021. Should it be Xbox Series X & S exclusive?
I use Halo Infinite as an example to discuss: What are the pros and cons for Cross Gen Games? How long should we have Cross Gen releases?

I think it should be if the games is unplayable. It is better for the games image if it is not on last gen in that case. But hey I could be wrong
I think it should be only for next gen as it makes the process of making the games easier and faster and also atleast halo infinite should be Xbox series X|S exclusive
Do you think Halo Infinite should be Next Gen only?
I'll be optimistic this time and say that we'll see true current gen experiences by 2022. XD
It should release on all consoles but the series s and x should get special attention.
I just hope the campaign is good after the very disappointing halo 5 campaign
I think it should be next gen only. Considering this will be the last Halo and is supposed to be the platform for Halo for the next ten years its crippling its future potential, the Xbox One will be irrelevant in 2 years times so why are they focusing on building a 10 year Halo plan around outdated hardware. Either Halo Infinite should be a next gen exclusive or they scrap the 10 year plan and allow future Halo's to be without the bottleneck of older hardware.
It definitely is a hard decision but tbh this is Halo we are talking about and considering all the bad flack that’s it’s garnered recently 343i HAS TO make is a phenomenal game so I think it’s best to have all their resources focused on the next gen consoles and last gen can play through Xcloud via their consoles. Halo deserves to be as best as it can be.
Good video, for AAA games one year support, for indie games Xbox One would give enough grunt as long as Switch is around
By next year, by then it’s my guess Hellblade 2, Avowed, and Fable will be coming out.
If the xbox one only streams halo infinite like you say, I think that it may be the best possible option. That way they can tune into the last gen market without being opaque like CD Project Red.
Yes. I would have liked the game design and level design to be based around series x and not xbox one but it is what it is..
Flight sim is first party and won’t be cross gen. I say decide by title. If it can be cross gen then do it.
Unfortunately I believe specialization is key to perfection. The more consoles they target the more likely it'll be terrible.
Let's learn something from Cyberpunk.
Hey Archie! Another solid vid and conversation topic.
Considering that Halo was already in the works for the XB1 before the newer systems were even mentioned. I doubt MS would scrap all that work given how much time and money went into it thus far. It'd be a bit ridiculous IMO. But, its not the 1st they'd have done anything like that.
But still, theres nothing really earth shattering to the gameplay asides from having a gigantic Halo ring world to explore. So the only real thing being pulled from the series X|S's bag is just higher framerates. Improved textrues and geometry. Raytracing. And faster loading. Which may even be he case even with the new PS games as well. So those hanging on to the thin rope of just trashing the XB1 version are in the wrong mind of expecting groundbreaking gameplay like we see with the Medium from a game thats already been in development since late 2017.
It should be Series X/S and PC only. If they put it on Xbox One it'll only hold the game back
I don’t want any games to be held back, so next gen and PC only, going forward please. Not saying that Halo Infinite will be held back, but the potential for that to happen is there.
If the games meet the quality standards on the hardware then release them on that hardware. Locked 30fps and lots of pop in.
The developer could have made The Medium on the previous gen consoles. It just wouldn't look as good as it does.
If there are still millions of active gamers on the old console, then it makes sense to support it. If you were publishing a game, would you limit the game to the platform with 5 million gamers, or also support the platform with 100+ million gamers? There is a reason why PC games can scale for different hardware instead of cater only to those who have a 3090.
I think the timetable Microsoft set for two years before the old generation isn't supported is a good idea, but four years like playstation is doing is far too long. Because just like you said we want advancement in these games going forward. I feel Halo Infinite should be Cross generation because Halo needs to gain mass appeal and it also needs to fill those Multiplayer lobbies when the game launches.
Agreed with many parts except that places like where I live have no line of sight for Project Xcloud is not viable solution for us
Excellent video 😃 its hard answer but I truly think the xbox one versions were done & next generation versions is where they had issues but I ain't sure it's coming out this year.
