It's cinematic and bold, with Dolby Atmos support if you have a compatible system.The resuscitation of Microsoft's ambitions in the games sector after the missteps and failures of the Xbox One era have all revolved around one seriously ambitious goal: reshaping the industry's business models to move away from fixed hardware platforms and generations, and towards a vision of an evolving software and services platform that spans various kinds of hardware and systems.īetween the expansion into a service platform spanning Xbox consoles (the hardware itself now fragmented into two distinct performance tiers, making it easier to expand even further in future) and PC platforms, and the creation of the Game Pass service, which now boasts 25 million subscribers and a hugely impressive back catalogue of games, most of the framework for achieving that goal is in place. We must also give a big shout-out to the sound too. It's a tough decision, but at least you have the option and can adjust easily using in-game settings to see which you prefer. But then, 60fps is more than good enough for many and the extra detail is noticeable. It still looks great too, especially when confined in a starship or underground installation, where metallic objects glisten. It is buttery smooth and ultra-responsive. That presents an experience smoother than a naked mole rate sliding down a greased pipe. Again, the resolution drops (to what exactly, we're not quite sure yet) but you end up with 120fps.

However, if you own a 120Hz TV (such as the Philips OLED806 we used) you might want to check out the performance mode instead. It also runs in 60fps, so you get the best of both worlds.

Its quality mode is, we believe, rendered in full 4K and is crisp and detailed as a result.

It gets more interesting on Xbox Series X. This isn't a game that's necessarily about ammo management and survival, it's about big, bombastic battles and gives you the tools to enjoy yourself. Ammo stations for different weapon types are also readily available. You might run out of ammo often, but there's always a new gun around the corner - whether that's having been dropped by one of the Banished, or in a rack hidden around a pillar.

They are all also as familiar as they are fun, and as plentiful as we've always remembered. It is slick and almost basic at times, with the series' trademark two main weapons able to be carried at a time. We're not sure if it's just rose tinted glasses, but we loved the more simple first-person shooter action of the first few Halo games to 4 and 5, so Halo Infinite ticks all the right boxes for us. And when the gameplay is as smooth and fun as this, we suspect you'll end up taking your sweet merry time too. We spent hours simply finding and taking out targets, for example, between story missions. Of course, you could play the entire Campaign by just heading from one story point to another, but that would not only be a shame, you'll miss out on boosting your character to the max in the process.īy adopting a more Ubisoft-like approach, 343 Industries gives you much more of a free rein and greatly expands the play time.

First, we were treated to season 1 of a free-to-play multiplayer beta, which is already gaining plaudits for its back to basics gameplay and sheer sense of fun (if you want to know exactly what it's like you can simply download it and play - it won't cost you a penny). Still, good things come to those who wait, as they say, and the latest Halo has finally arrived in two separate parts.

And, its absence left the Xbox consoles without a truly big flag to wave as the new generation began. Like many games during the ongoing pandemic, Halo Infinite was delayed - by a year, no less. Think Xbox, you think Halo - and the latest outing for Master Chief was to be the launch game to set the stall perfectly. (Pocket-lint) - When Xbox unleashed its two next-gen machines in the winter of 2020 - the Xbox Series X and Series S - they were meant to be accompanied by its premiere games franchise.
