Halo Infinite: Most Expensive Game of All Time – Next Generation – Is it Worth 500 million dollars?

Halo Infinite: Most Expensive Game of All Time - Next Generation - Is it Worth 500 million dollars? 3 Top10.Digital

On 23rd July Microsoft and 343 Industries revealed the trailer of Halo Infinite and first look at the gameplay. And as stated in our one of the older posts that Halo fans were so excited for this game. Halo Infinite: Most Expensive Game of All Time - Next Generation - Is it Worth 500 million dollars? 4 Top10.Digital

However, even the things didn’t turn out too well for the Halo Fans, Microsoft and 343 Industries. As and the gameplay finished the initial way of a hype started to decrease. And many Twitteratis went on to point out the game’s fidelity. Though, few screenshots have been going viral not because it showcases the power of Xbox Series X but how underperforming it is.

You can go through the Halo: Infinite’s trailer here.

Halo: Infinite to be the Most Expensive Game ever

There are so many rumors that Halo Infinite’s budget was a staggering $500 million, hence making it the most expensive video game project ever produced, but there is no evidence regarding the same. And the trailer revealed an impressive visual and landscape which led some to question whether Halo: Infinite will be the first open world in the franchise. Halo didn’t receive a reaction as per the expectations of 343 Industries. And it failed to achieve the standards expected by both critics and fans.

If you have been following the news, you may have noticed that Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins one of the most famous streamer has left Twitch because he started to stream on Mixer (Owned by Microsoft). Joining the dots tells us that Ninja was once a Halo pro player, and that it could be Microsoft’s Halo marketing strategy.

Halo: Infinite a Next-Generation Video Game

However, it seems like Microsoft has a Halo “Infinite” problem. So the Halo Infinite’s long-awaited campaign debut didn’t go as planned. And as already stated above that some were disappointed by the reveal, while others didn’t spare mocking it. As per the gameplay, it gave a new vibe and it is honestly good. Breaking from Bungie’s 20-year-old template because it is more in favor of a more modern open-world direction. But it somewhat creates the Halo 1 vibe.

Besides Microsofts showcasing the real gameplay from an in-development build rather than using cinematics is admirable. But it seems fans expected more on the graphics and texture side. Microsoft has spent two years creating hype over the Xbox Series X’s flagship launch title because it was to meant to boldly usher the power of the next-generation console.

So here you can check out the gameplay of Halo: Infinite

Is Halo: Infinite Worth $500 Million

So, as we have already covered above that there are rumors that 343 industries and Microsoft have collectively spent $500 million on the development of Halo: Infinite. And there have been expensive shooter games in the past like Destiny, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 spending huge money in the development but none of them were above $300 million, which makes Halo 6 an exception.

Accordingly, it may be true because Halo 6 is rumored to be an open-world game, which makes it costlier than Red Dead Redemption 2. And another reason could be due to the title releasing on a multitude of platforms including Microsoft Console: Xbox Scarlett, Project Xcloud, and PC. And maybe all the problems that led down the expectations of the fans be removed or improved. Because it is creating a bad impression on the whole Xbox Series X and disappointing the fans. Consequently, when the game launches by the end of the year with both the modes – Campaign and Multiplayer may have been improved. And eventually, it may get delayed to the huge disappointment among the fans beyond its “Holiday 2020” release window.

Researchers from George Washington University in the United States. They also said; combining photons within neural network Tensor processing units (TPUs); could overcome these limitations. So, it can create powerful and power-efficient AI.

A paper described the research; photon-based TPU was able to perform functions higher than a TPU. They also revealed that they have found an integrated photonic platform; that integrates with efficient optical memory. Also, are able to obtain the same operations as a TPU. But they also consume a fraction of the power and have higher productivity.”

“When machines are opportunely trained; the platforms can be used for performing interference at the speed of light.”

The performance of the photon-based neural network processor is 100-times higher than the electrical processor.

Some of the potential applications for commercial usage of this innovative processor include 5G and 6G networks. Data centers that perform vast amounts of data processing.

Dr. Miscuglio said that “Photonic specialized processors can save a lot of energy; improve the response time; and also help in reducing data center traffic.”

History of Minecraft

Since the 1980s, several games changed the game history. After the release of this game, it was one of the first games where gamers created something rather than destroying. Gamers can be world creators, architects of their own Minecraft world. It created a different level of perspective than people had earlier for games.

In 2009 Swedish programmer Markus ‘Notch’ Persson created and developed the independent game ‘Minecraft’. The first major update was released in 2010, known as the alpha version of the game. After that, Notch decided to open the game for beta testing where it employed several developers to develop the game.

Earlier versions of the game only had few features more like a resource management simulation game that made it addictive the gamers could have combats with monsters and explore the vast world which kept on growing with regular updates. Eventually, Markus created a game development company called Mojang that was responsible for the future developments and maintenance of the game.

Later, on, Notch decided to sell Mojang along with Minecraft with its intellectual property rights to Microsoft for $2.5 Billion in 2015. While now it has sold over more than 200 million copies in 2020. It currently has more than 180 million monthly active users.

Before it was bought by Microsoft. The game was only available on Microsoft PC. But after it got in the hands of Microsoft it was made available on all major platforms.

Minecraft Now

Today players can play Minecraft on a variety of platforms. They can play different available modes. Currently, there are three modes in Minecraft: Survival Mode, Hardcore Mode, Creative Mode, Adventure Mode, and Spectator Mode. With the regular updates even today, it is having a surge in its popularity.

Because Minecraft is a never-ending game with an ever-expanding world. Microsoft will continue to develop the game for many years to come.

Minecraft has decided to create a series on How they made Minecraft. Here is a trailer for that:

Minecraft Mods

Truly Minecraft is a wonder on its own, but the mods make it shine more. As being one of the most popular games that ever existed, there are a great number of mods available for this game.

Over the golden years of Minecraft, creating mods for this game has become much simpler and convoluted. The Curse Forge Platform by Twitch is still the best way to get playing Minecraft mod.

Minecraft Servers

There are tons of Minecraft servers. There is no denying the fact that the PC community boasts the most famous players around the world. For evidence, we have the Minecraft servers. The game has been a great creative platform for all creative gamers.

What is Windows 10x?

Microsoft is probably on top of the list to provide an operating system for the devices. Also, it is constantly evolving to bring the best to users. Its evolution started from Windows 95 and there is now Windows 10 in the market. Moreover, there are over 1 billion devices that are running Windows 10. However, it is not ending as Microsoft announced last year to release windows 10X.

Windows 10X is a new edition of the existing Windows 10. However, Microsoft announced that it would be for the dual-screen devices like Microsoft’s upcoming Surface Neo. But they have now planned it to release it for the single screen devices first.

Microsoft To Release Windows 10X As Web-First OS 45 Top10.Digital

Microsoft announced about Windows 10x in October 2019, however, they planned to release it for dual-screen devices only. But in May 2020, they revised their plan and intimated to release it for singles screen devices as well. Microsoft’s Windows and devices chief Panos Panay said.

The world is a very different place than it was last October when we shared our vision for a new category of dual-screen Windows devices.

Further, he added.

With new Windows, we designed for flexibility, and that flexibility has enabled us to pivot our focus toward single-screen Windows 10X devices that leverage the power of the cloud to help our customers work, learn and play in new ways.

The difference between Windows 10 and 10X

Well, technically there is not much difference between the two versions. However, there are some different features. The interface is one of the key differences between both windows.

Moreover, the other major difference is that Windows 10X will not use now virtualize legacy Win32 programs. This one is a deliberate change by the company to compete with Chromebooks.

It is also worth mentioning that 10X users will be able to use UWP apps instead of Win312 apps.

Why Microsft has removed VAIL?

Microsoft has announced that new Windows 10X for single-screen devices will be available for low-cost PCs and laptops. Therefore, these laptops would not be able to run these apps without slowing down their speed and performance. So, this factor could not meet modern-day requirements. Therefore, to keep the window lightweight and compatible with low-cost devices, they have removed Win32 apps.

When will it release?

Microsoft has not revealed the exact date to release this new edition of Windows 10. However, it is expected that in the next year, they will launch it for the single-screen devices.

This badge is used to highlight the PlayStation 4 titles that will be compatible with PS5. Sony had promised that almost all top 100 PS4 titles will be backward compatible since the launch of PlayStation 5.

This badge is similar to Microsoft’s “Optimised for Series X” logo, which has already started to appear on several Xbox Series X titles. Though it is unclear whether Sony will start rolling this officially in a similar manner. But as the leaks suggest it is quite evident that we may be able to experience it sooner than expected.

Regarding the pre-order, it seems like gamers will be able to directly order from Playstations’ website. Earlier Sony has only used the help of third-party retailers but this is a quite huge decision taken by them. Suggesting it is having an even tighter inventory than we have thought of earlier.

For now, these are the leaks that we have managed to stumble upon. Though we would suggest you to go through our news on Playstation 5 which will surely be of interest to you.
