Another day, another story about the weary fate of Microsoft's biggest flagship title, Halo Infinite. Yep, it looks like the team over at Xbox is calling in veteran Halo developer Joseph Staten to help right the Halo Infinite ship. Staten has a reputation for working on some of the most successful Halo games and he’s been tasked as the Project Lead for the Halo Infinite campaign. Of course, this new shake up on top of Halo Infinite’s delay and the recent rumors indicate that the waters have indeed been a little more than rough for the games development. We’re keeping a close eye on the storm as things develop so have a sit and listen a while to today's episode of Inside Gaming Daily!

Halo Infinite cancelled on Xbox One? Aug 27, 2020

Will Halo Infinite actually release on the Xbox One? A recent rumor says maybe not. The game is shaping up to be quite a bit messier than we could have previously imagined. It isn’t often you hear about significant troubles for a flagship first party title like Halo Infinite but it’s already been a rough couple of weeks for the Chief. The reception to the Halo Infinite gameplay trailer earlier this summer was warm at best and it was met with a lot of criticism about its technical and visual ascetic. Shortly after Microsoft announced they would be delaying the games launch to a later date. Reports have also surfaced that Halo Infinite was largely outsourced causing issues with communication throughout the games development. The latest rumor of course purports that as a reactionary measure, Halo leads might abandon the Xbox One version of the game so the PC and Xbox Series X versions can soar. Grab your plasma grenades and join us today as we jump into the rumor realm on Inside Gaming Daily!

CoD bows to China, censors trailer Aug 26, 2020

Show notes

The new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War trailer has been pulled down and replaced with an alternate version in what seems like an act of self censorship to appease China’s governing authority. The trailer in question had a brief clip of the Tiananmen Square protests and as a result was banned in China by Chinese authorities. As a result every officvial version of the trailer online, including the US version, was replaced with a new version sans the Chinese protest footage. This is the second time Activision has kowtowed to China in such a large public manner and it probably won’t be the last. Stay tuned, we’ve got all the details and we’ll catch you up with what you might have missed so far, on today's edition of Inside Gaming Daily!

Microsoft Backs Epic in Apple Fight Aug 24, 2020

A new challenger appears! Microsoft is jumping in to aid Epic in its legal fight against Apple’s chokehold over half the mobile market. What started off as a strategic poking of the bear has become an all out battle royale for the involved multi billion dollar companies. Epic is claiming their fight is based on the letter and spirit of antitrust laws and ultimately the goal is to break up Apple’s growing monopoly of the mobile market. Apple’s response was to remove Epic’s access to iOS dev tools which is a major blow that affects all mobile games that use the Unreal Engine. Microsoft's support comes at a time in which Epic is against the ropes - though this might take months of litigation, it appears Epic is in this for the long haul. Rest assured we’ll be keeping a close eye on the back and forth right here Inside Gaming.

In true billionaire money fighting fashion, Epic and Apple are continuing their corporate clash over Epic trying to play outside the immaculately walled garden that is the App Store. Epic's claiming to try to fight against Apple's monopoly which is cool... but also....... Epic's making their own monopoly with their exclusivity deals?? It's very confusing and dumb BUT we all love to watch rich people eat each other! Catch up on today's IG Daily.

Yeah yeah we've been over this delay a lot, but we finally have some insider allegations on WHY Halo Infinite was delayed. Was it because of COVID? No. Because it got memed into oblivion? Not according to this source, anyway. Internal work on the game was a complete and utter mess? Apparently so! Tune in on today's IG Daily as we run down what exactly was happening behind the scenes at Xbox to delay something this huge.

Buckle up and welcome yourself to the CORPORATE SLAPFIGHT ZONE baby! We discussed earlier in the week that Facebook Gaming was being forced to launch uh... without any games by Apple this week, due to some shady reasoning that basically boiled down to "STOP COMPETING WITH ME OR I'M GOING HOME >:(". Now Epic Games has entered the ring, and Fortnite has been shunned by Apple for offering competing services! Google got tagged in at some point as well, idk man it's all a bunch of bajillionaires throwing gold coins at each other and it's weird as hell. We also have the EXCELLENT Chloe Naylor on the show today to gape at the spectacle with us. Come find out the details on today's IG Daily!
