As Xbox Series X faces off against PS5 this fall, it's important to examine Sony's catalog, and why things went so right for them last gen.

franchises. Both Halo and Gears of War are, at their core, essentially eternally trying to recreate the success of the first few beloved games, usually a new developer trying to “stay true” to the original concepts and ideas of the first studio .

Does this result in “good” games? Sure, I enjoyed Halo 5 and Gears 5, and yet fundamentally, it’s often just like “well, here’s another Gears game” with some new multiplayer modes and a better/worse story than the last one. But look at Sony to see what it’s like when a developer is allowed to grow their franchise inand unpredictable ways, as we saw with the new God of War.

While we can’t confirm exactly what Microsoft is doing with all of its studios, the rumors we’ve heard about “new” games from existing developers are Forza Horizon’s developer making a new Fable game. There are also rumors about a new Perfect Dark game, bringing that IP back from the dead, though I’m not sure who would be working on that. Like Halo and Gears, Microsoft is pullingfrom its back catalog rather than revealing huge new ideas, at least so far.

I am looking forward to the games show, and yes, I will play the hell out of Halo Infinite. But it’s just something to consider as we reflect on this past console generation, and look toward the new one.

As an owner of that game, I can say it's a very good solidly-built game, but not as unforgettable as people want to claim. I haven't felt like playing it again, and am even thinking about trading it (except this not like me).

It's too late for that. 🤣

Aren't they hoping that its Halo Infinite for them ?
