The video game industry has always worked to a lurching rhythm. This year will mark the next round of the so-called console wars, as Sony’s PlayStation 5 competes with Microsoft’s Xbox Series X (destined to be confused by bewildered grandparents with the current Xbox One X). As in the past, the rival machines will likely be equivalently powerful and share many of the same games. Halo Infinite hopes to do for the Xbox Series X what Halo did for the original Xbox in the distant technological plains of 2001. As in the film industry, in 2020 video game companies continue to invest the majority of effort and expense to provide old, nostalgia-commanding games with a lick of digital paint.
