It's still going to actually get pushed to 2022, so the April Fools jokesters were just ahead of the announcement.

I don't see why, they've got ages before the Halo 1 anniversary in November. Like, it might not be a good game but it's coming out this year on Nov 15th.

LOTR the two towers game was insanely good. Blew my mind at the time, and I was also obsessed with the films so I couldn’t get enough of that poo poo.

It's not really an Apple approval issue now, Microsoft has to make a "web" version of the streaming platform that runs through the Safari iOS browser (which is how Stadia and Geforce Now work on iOS currently).

Apple does need to start supporting Series X controllers though. It’s supposed to be coming in iOS 14.5 but giddyup already, Tim

60 FPS, better graphics, doubling draw distances, loading times cut in half.

I’m guessing Stadia doesn’t have the power for this?

Stadia is running on a super computer at whatever settings they deem. So theoretically yes it can do it, if they actually implemented it into the stadia version is another thing.

I think Halo Infinite multiplayer will launch and that's all that really matters, imo. Singleplayer very likely could be delayed but I don't think it would be a big deal as long as the multiplayer releases, which 343 claims will be separate from the base game and designed to last throughout the generation. If they can get that out and it's as good as multiplayer in Halo 5 then they're golden.

All they need to do is just stick to what works: Team Slayer, Big Team Battle and Firefight. Having some good map variety at launch is important as well.

Cod Warzone currently is a fantastic example of how to gently caress up multiple games by forcing them to share assets and then updating only one of them.

It has nothing to do with horsepower. Every game on stadia has to be coded for it because of it's architecture.

If it's coming to those consoles, stadia can for sure handle it is the point. Stadia's issue was never the actual tech, it's others using it.

Google claimed a single Stadia host instance has ~10TF at its disposal, so a bit below the Series X

Right the numbers have it right between both the xsx and ps5, this is all theoretical since stadia is an evolving platform hosted in the cloud. And the consoles have to put resources aside for other things. So it can run the updates, but it comes down to if they get implemented as I said.

What stadia is theoretically able to do and what it’s actually able to do are two wildly different things.

Objective-based, but on bigger maps? :v: Don't even remember if Crysis had multiplayer, but some of those open-ended scenarios from the campaign would fit 4v4 matches fairly well

I paid $90AUD for Cod 2019 to play domination (3 flag) exclusively.

Halo has all the big tentpole game modes and generally does them better than others.

BR games are the current in thing but they are loving boring to a lot of people.

I've recently purchased a 9th gen controller for PC gaming. If I pick up the charge and play kit for Xbone (which is the only one in stock atm) and a Micro USB to USB C dongle for the cable, would the LED in it still work? I've never had a USB cable with a charging LED before

Maybe? I just use a normal USB C cable. I don't care about a charging LED.

I think it does but only with controllers. Doesn't give the LED on anything else.

You mean you bought a Series controller but an Xbone charging battery? The battery pack isn't the same shape. It's similar but they don't click into place.

Source: me who charges 1 series controller and 1 Xbone controller on the same charging dock and has to tape a battery in place on the Xbone controller with electrical tape... it works but it won't hold forever and needs periodic adjustment/fixing.

When I had 4 batteries in total I just used to leave the last two charged ones in the unplugged charger and rotate. I recently bought 4 more batteries (quest controller requirement too) and I’ve only got a 4 battery charger - so it’s like Russian roulette up in here when it comes to flat battery time.
