While Halo Infinite is largely exclusive to the Xbox family--launching on PC (Steam and Windows 10), Xbox One, and Xbox Series X this holiday season--that hasn't stopped players from hoping the pivotal Xbox title would eventually arrive on other platforms. Though developer 343 Industries likely has no plans of porting Halo Infinite to something like the Nintendo Switch or PlayStation 4, a Dreams creator decided to take matters into their own hands by recreating a portion of the gameplay reveal.Disarmed, a visual and audio creator, took to Dreams to bring Halo Infinite to the PlayStation 4 in stunning detail. Though the video is only 41 seconds long, it takes an improbable premise--what if Halo but PS4--and brings it to life. We see Master Chief holding the classic assault rifle while strutting through a lush forest. It's extremely gorgeous and continues to show Dreams' impressive power--even if there's no way it's happening.#MadeInDreams - was pretty excited with the @xbox debriefing last week & the gameplay reveal of #HaloInfinite!got me to thinking how strange it would be to have @halo on the @PlayStation 🤔 - here’s something! the future is looking bright for next-generation 💙💚 pic.twitter.com/dC4nz6QnOm — DISARMED (@DISARMEDTWEETS) July 28, 2020Xbox held its Games Showcase livestream last week, where we got a detailed look at Halo Infinite.

The company also shared information on various other Xbox titles, including the setting of Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the reveal of a new Fable game by the Forza Horizon developer Playground Games, and more.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Call Of Duty: Warzone has been out for a few seasons, and while it has some great ideas, there's still plenty of room for improvement. Below, we've detailed 11 things that the game needs to change to make it a better experience ahead of next season. Some of these changes include a better drop system, expanded communication ping wheel, improved armor mechanics, better climbing system, balancing, and major map changes and events.We've written what we think can improve below, but you're welcome to watch the video version of this feature above. Regardless, what are your ideas on balance and how to improve Warzone? What just sticks in your craw when you play? Let us know in the comments below, if your ideas are great we might make another feature and video.Make Team Drop More Like ApexIn Warzone, it's a frequent bother for squad leaders picking a drop point to have their teammates bail out separately from them and scatter to the wind. This isn't an issue in Apex Legends, which has the ideal system that allows the team leader to drop the squad all at once, so at least everyone ends up on the same part of the map, and then anyone who wants to can peel off. We're hoping Warzone can implement the same in its team drop mechanics in a future update.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Riot Games has received sharp criticism over a recent announcement that it would be partnering with Saudi Arabian city Neom for its League of Legends European Championship (LEC) Summer Season. Critics of the move, including some from within the LoL community, have raised concerns regarding Saudi Arabia's human rights abuses, ties to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and the city's implications for an indigenous tribe.The announcement named Neom as its partner city and said it will be "a new model for sustainable living, working, and prospering" in Saudi Arabia. It also said that Neom will "help future-proof the LEC stage" by sponsoring the Oracle Lens feature, which predicts team movements and strategies.Neom is a $500 billion mega-city currently being built in Saudi Arabia, financed by Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. That connection itself has led to much of the criticism, as American intelligence agencies have concluded that bin Salman ordered the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. In broader terms, Saudi Arabia has a poor human rights record, especially in regards to women and LGBTQ individuals.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
