Resident Evil rose from the dead so why can’t Halo (not trying to funny with that)? It is too lore heavy and even I struggle a bit at times, and I buy the novels, but I still keep my fingers crossed for a proper revival for one of the best series in gaming. I know the franchise is dead and multiplayer is the thing now, but single-player wise I hope they don’t give up. It is hampered by terrible boss battles but outside of that it is actually pretty good! The music is great, and you can approach any situation as you want like the other games – I know 343 are a mess but playing through this again I think they are onto a winner. I’ve been playing a lot of Halo Infinite this weekend and I do think it is an excellent game. I’m sure there’s lots of other reasons in both cases but these company are run by human beings after all and sometimes I’m not sure that logic has all that much to do with it. It’s the same reason why I don’t think Microsoft has made a VR headset: they don’t want to be seen as copying Sony or showing they haven’t got any experience with the technology. Apart from miniaturisation clearly not being their strong suit I think they’ve got too much pride to abandon how they’ve always done things in order to copy Nintendo. I would be fine with the PlayStation 6 being a hybrid like the Switch, but I can’t see Sony doing it.

It’s a sad reflection on society that depictions of love are far more likely to cause outrage than depictions of hate and violence. What adult is playing it and is so deeply offended by seeing someone’s dangly bits that they have to go and complain on the internet? Wouldn’t things be a lot healthier if this was the norm? Some are saying Baldur’s Gate 3 is too lewd but it’s an 18-rated game.
