Twice The Bits Games

Xbox Ready released one of their typically clickbaity videos recently with a title and thumbnail suggesting that a portable Xbox was on the way. This is of course not true as what they are actually discussing is a Dev Kit demo by Razer and Qualcomm which teased the possibility of a gaming device focussed on game streaming and remote play from your console rather than a Steam Deck like portable games console. Not quite the Xbox portable they promised. Tom Warren at the Verge has got Game Pass working on his steam deck and believes that demonstrates that an Xbox portable is a viable product. The market for these devices is slowly emerging. The Nintendo Switch has been a massive success with huge sales numbers however its not clear to me that the mobile aspect of this device is whats driving these sales numbers. Consider that this is Nintendos only games console right now and they have gone out of their way to make these device easy to share with detachable controllers and colouful designs which appeal to a broader, younger audience. Or their parents. The Switch has sold 103 million units as of Feb 2022 which makes it their most popular console to date! Nintendo also see this console as being in the middle of its lifecycle. It will be interesting to see if their next device continues this trend or they revert back to a standard Box under the TV design. Will we see a new Xbox console in 2022? Can an Xbox portable replace the SteamDeck for lots of people? Will Microsoft ever release a handheld Xbox? Or will they ever release an Xbox portable console? Lets discuss this and the state of the handheld gaming console market. How does GamePass fit in to the equation? Can you really turn your phone in to an Xbox?

8 New Games for the Halo franchise? Whats next for the Halo franchise? today I thought it would be fun to think about which games or genres of games could be given the Halo treatment. Not all games are suited to this universe and in fact the story might exclude more casual games, like platformers for example but there is plenty of scope for the Halo universe to expand beyond first person shooters. Where Next for Halo Games? What comes after Halo Infinite? Whats next for Halo Infinite? Whats next for Halo? What news is there about new Halo games? Can the franchise be saved Can 343 get themselves out of the mess they are in to save the franchise? Will the Banished be the main villains of the story from here on? Will we ever see new Halo games?

Is it a pancake? A return to sender? A mind the gap? Why isnt there a medal for a repulsor kill that isnt one of these? Never Mind. I made my own Halo Infinite medal. #haloinfinite #haloinfiniteseason2 #haloinfinitemultiplayer #haloinfinitemedal #jeffsteitzer

I love the mind the gap medal in Halo Infinite Multiplayer. Its so disrespectful but also can take a decent amount of situational awareness to get right. Im still trying to get more than 3 players at once but ill get there! There are other great medals of course but in terms of eas to pull off but also lining up a player so that you can execute it I think this medal takes the cake. The perfect blend of beginner friendly but with a decent skill gap for those who want to work at it. I just hope they add more places to use it as the next seasons for Halo Infinite multiplayer are released.

Battlefield 2042 is in a lot of trouble. Reports today suggest that Dice have decided to essentially cut their losses and start again with a new modern shooter. Frankly I think this might be best for all concerened. The game has been a dumpster fire from minute 1 and clearly still needs a lot of work. Player numbers continue to be very low. There are still reports of bugs and Season 1 has launched to what can only be described as a tepid repsonse. One map in 6 months isnt going to save this game. Tom Henderson over on twitter reports on rumours that Dice have pulled the plug on active development, cutting their losses and moving 2042 into a maintenance mode. Presumably they will fix bugs and add small levels of content but the bulk of their staff are working on other things. EA have released a statement refuting this but as Henderson points out actions speak louder than words and EA's commitment to this game isnt showing in their output. But this got me thinking. If one of the 3 big shooters from last year is already, for intents and purposes, dead and Call of Duty Vanguard is going to get buried by Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, then where does that leave Halo Infinite? What difference will a Battle Royal really make?

We like the fast paced action and constant gun play that you only get in arena shooters. And BR players like that game mode. They like the different loadouts, attchments and the tactics that larger maps require. So how does a game mode which is neither of those things help Halo? Not that there isnt room for innovation in the shooter space but that just ramps up the pressure. This game not only has to be good, but it has to show a paradigm shift away from the current trends. The pressure for this game mode to land, and land hard is huge but why would anyone play it? I'd love to know if you guys are planning on playing it? #haloinfinite #battlefield2042 #battlefieldisdead #twicethebits

in the last few days you cant but help notice that literally every Halo Infinite content creator has released a Splitgate video. From Sean W, HiddenXperia, Arrrash, LatenightGaming, Rocketsloth, Ascend Hyperion. What marked this out from other times Youtubers have branched out of thier niche is that it was all sponsored content, and that pretty much everyone copped some hate for it. And there has been some back lash which I'd like to address. Seems like lots of creators took flack on line, in their comments, on twitter and reddit. Some of this comes as no surprise but it was the manner of the hate which got me intrigued. What does this say about the state of Halo fandom? What does it say about the state of the game?

Check out the full video here - https://youtu.be/_bhI0IXKW2c This is a review of Halo TV show season 1. Quite literally missing the point of the entire Halo story. In the games many humans have the abilities which in the show make chief special. This is a somewhat minor point in the games but underpins lots of the story in a subtle way. - By setting Chief apart as some sort of messiah, who was fated to be chosen by Halsey, become the ultimate warrior, and save humanity strips chief of one of the most iconic things about him. He wasn't born special. He became extraordinary through augmentation and training. What makes him special isn't his genes, or fate. It's his ability to always continue the fight no matter the odds. The closest we get to this in the games is this line from Cortana (the line about luck) and even that was just one line. The TV show seems to be building the entire story around John 117 being "special" #Shorts #HaloTheSeries #Cortana #Haloshow #halotvshow Help the channel out and buy your Game Pass expansion keys from my links Xbox Game Pass Get 1 months of Xbox Game Pass - https://amzn.to/3GrN5Rm Get 3 months of Xbox Game Pass - https://amzn.to/3x1YHX4 Xbox Storage Official 1TB Xbox SSD Expansion - https://amzn.to/3GsDHga Official 2TB Xbox SSD Expansion - https://amzn.to/3NeL9hP Official 4TB Xbox SSD Hard Drive -https://amzn.to/3a4pPwq Accessories Xbox Replacement Controller grips - https://amzn.to/38sfPwE Xbox Controller Repair Kit - https://amzn.to/3LRwszH Console Get a Xbox Series X - https://amzn.to/3aioN00 Get a Xbox Series S - https://amzn.to/3LVGYpt

This is my review of Season 1 of the Halo TV Show. I'll be exploring everything that went right and wrong with the show. From the silver timeline controversy, changes to characters and their motivations, Chief and his helmet (ahem), and everything else this video takes a good look at everything from the season one of Halo and asks the question will anyone be watching season 2 when it finally drops. If you are looking for a Halo TV show reaction this, is it! Do you mind master chief removing his helmet? Do you like the new look for Cortana? Does the Halo TV show tell the story of the fall of reach? Lets find out if the halo show sucks This video is a Halo TV show breakdown as well as a Halo TV show review. What will the community think?

Halo Infinite Season 2 is upon is. Can the changes being made turn around fan perception and the reception Halo Infinite currently receives? Two parts of the recent live stream from 343 have really changed the narrative in the community regarding Halo Infinite. First and most importantly Joe Statens honesty and bluntness regarding the state of the game and secondly the feedback and changes coming to customisation and the season 2 battle pass. Glad to see Joe back to steady the ship and turn this around. Perhaps this is unfair but it feels like someone with knowledge, experience and passion has shown up to show 343 how its done. If I worked in marketing or community relations at 343 I'd be feeling pretty sad right now. For months this is the kind of communication we have been asking for and finally someone has shown up to deliver it. Does season 2 point to a Halo Infinite Battle Royale? Can they improve the Halo Infinite season 2 Battle pass? Do recent Halo Infinite leaks point to a brighter future? Let's find out.

We all should have known. Halo Infinite is a classic Microsoft release. Halo Infinite is shaping up to be the Windows 11 of the gaming world. Yes it looks nice, with a pretty UI but core features are missing or changed and long time users are pissed off and leaving for other platforms.

Typically, a year after initial release. No Co-op - Can't move the task bar No forge - Can't resize the start menu Technical debt - No coherent design Doesn't work on old PCs - Doesn't work on any PC :) No Cortana - No Cortana This is typical of modern software release. Get a minimum viable product out the door and then charge users to test it for you while you complete all the features it should have shipped with. Why aren't 343 using the Halo Insider build to test new features. Content creators would fill the communication void by showing off potential new game modes and generate hype in the same way as the insider program does for Windows. Sadly, I think they've missed their window (boom boom) and the bells have started to toll.

Link to the full video - https://youtu.be/HhWYlhVVEhs Time for some more Halo Infinite news. The corporatisation of game creation is a game of diminishing returns currently being masked by the expansion of games to new audiences, devices and markets. As the market grows, revenues increase masking the dissatisfaction of gamers with their purchases. Is it any wonder that Game Pass is doing so well when AAA games cost upwards of $60 and are of such variable quality that gamers want to take the risk out of purchasing a game and would rather pay to stream or "rent" the game for less than the full price?

Elden Ring has shown what an uncompromising artistic vision can do for a game, Forza continues to show what franchise releases should be about with its variations on a theme but upgrades in the right places, and there are plenty of highly anticipated games coming later this year from respected developers and publishers for gamer to be excited by. Sadly, games like Vanguard prove there is a long way to go! Will executives learn the lessons of these botched releases? Or are these games just collateral damage in an industry hurtling towards game streaming and subscription models, where games are mere content to be churned out, targeted towards a mass, casual player base, spending money on NFT cosmetic items in play to earn multiverse crypto farms.

From boring single player narratives, broken multiplayer, missing features, bad design, and too little content these games have got it all. Today we are going to review three game launches from Activision, Microsoft, and EA. The Bad, the Buggy, and the Bungled. Is this a Halo Infinite rant? Will Halo Infinite Season 2 redeem the mistakes of the launch? Will a Halo Infinite battle royale save the series? Or do you think that Halo Infinite is trash and beyond saving? Let's find out!
