Absolutely not, but it being available on iOS and PC is a good sign for people who do want to use in-home streaming using your own console.

The point of upgrading the servers is to run multiple 1s instances per machine from what i remember, not to improve performance

You’ve been able to stream your own console for a while now on iOS using the Xbox app. Unfortunately I can’t stream anything besides my Xbox’s home screen, because iOS doesn’t support Series X controllers yet. Hopefully 14.5 comes out tomorrow and adds this.

It's both, gives them the flexibility to serve up the Series X version of a game (maybe this will be limited to GPU, who knows), or they can virtualize it out to like four One S instances if demand is higher or whatever. And using less power than the equivalent rack mounted One Ss iirc.

For anyone that thought the blades were bad:  That '3D ring' interface was actually a strong internal contender for being the shipping interface design. It almost happened.

Yeah I definitely want to go back to some fugly fisher price nonsense than simply having all my games and apps organized into folders that I can organize however I prefer. It was bad on the bone because it was laggy and unresponsive but since the ui got the series s/x patch it's been great and has none of the issues I complained about for the majority of the lifetime of the bone consoles. elf help book posted:The current ui is blades turned sideways, blade lovers won weebay.gif

Don't ever really understand the complaints about the dash.... Like, what are you doing on there? Your past 5 played games and apps are right there and if you want something else you just hit the home button and it instantly takes you to your pins.

the fact that everyone freaks out constantly about their preferred dash (including the "the current dash is fine" people) just underscores that people should be able to customize their poo poo. who loving cares why does every single electronic have to have this stupid rear end ultra-homogenized design and aesthetic

The Xbox UI is great. Also the revamped store interface is actually halfway decent now which is high praise when it comes to console storefronts.

My only real complaint now is that since the series update the dash has been fast and responsive even on the bone which means they apparently let the bone dash remain garbage for years and only fixed it when they needed parity with current consoles.

I'm still confident they'll get Halo Infinite multiplayer out by the end of the year. It's a separate thing from the singleplayer and meant to be a standalone thing that lasts through the console gen. People play Halo for the multiplayer anyways so they could ditch the singleplayer entirely and as long as multiplayer gets out they're golden, they can just keep building on it over time with new maps and modes etc. and treat it as GaaS. The updates 343 have provided have shown a lot of multiplayer stuff as well such as arenas, weapons, Spartan designs etc. so I think they're focusing a lot on delivering that. Halo doesn't really need any more story anyways, just get multiplayer out with a good amount of content (and variety!) and let them focus on that, especially since 343 excels at making really great multiplayer.

I feel like it would be a really bad idea to decouple the release of the MP from the regular game.

Yeah I think the single player campaign is very important to a Halo release. I could’ve maybe seen them trying to decouple them to hit launch, but at this point it seems crazy. Things are going fine currently, take your time and put out the whole product. Which I think they will this year.

Things are going fine currently, take your time and put out the whole product. Which I think they will this year. I think the point is they just want one Halo multiplayer game that lasts the generation and can keep being updated (like Overwatch/Fortnite/Apex Legends etc.) and they can release singleplayer Halo games (albeit still with co-op etc.) whenever they like, without having to develop entirely new multiplayer components for each game and essentially start over, draining resources. The launch of future Halo titles could just be accompanied by some kind of content update for the existing Halo multiplayer standalone, such as some new maps/weapons and maybe modes? One thing for sure however is Halo multiplayer has a very long lifespan far beyond the singleplayer offerings and tying it to that in the current industry environment seems a bit unwise, imo. Plus, I think 343 already said the multiplayer for the new Halo will be a standalone free-to-play game. They can support that for a really long time. People who get Halo Infinite will be doing so for the singleplayer and story, everyone will get multiplayer for free. I can see it working well if done right, and 343 can do multiplayer right. Has the added bonus of saving storage space as well since people can keep the Halo standalone multiplayer installed and delete Halo Infinite after they've finished with the story, which seems like a good solution.

Separating single and multiplayer seems good for the consumer at least, unless they do something crazy like charge $70 for each.

Halo campaign was important when it was Bungie. Now it's totally dead after the cluster gently caress of 4 and 5.

if they sell the MP seperately before they launch the singleplayer then the campaign is DOA. I can't imagine how people could give a gently caress about the Halo singleplayer after 5

I think what we’re gonna get is a launcher with a F2P multiplayer option and various campaigns that get added as time goes on. Both the single and multiplayer will be things they add on for 10 years.

I would expect the multi-player to be free to play, and money is made through battle pass, and bonuses for being Ultimate Gamepass Subscriber.

Yeah, typical GaaS where they make money through cosmetics. I just hope that the multiplayer they release has the three cores of Slayer, Big Team Battle and Firefight. I know Forge is cool but it kinda sucks when a bunch of Forge maps infest the playlists so I hope that doesn't happen too much this time round. 343 make really good multiplayer maps and they have good visual variety, so I hope they follow the Gears model when it comes to that rather than leaning too much on Forge mode. They've made some really great additions to the sandbox with Halo 4 & 5 as well so I'm excited to see what new weapons/abilities/vehicles they add with the new game as well.
