New Zealand trick should work for Game Pass too
Looking forward to playing (base PS5). Didn't play the Halo games until many, many years after its release, i was genuinely surprised of how much i enjoyed them, reminded me of Unreal when it came out but better characters and story.
Game is apparently already fully playable via the Sigma downloader, which is usually used for the Denuvo bypass. No crack or anything needed. I guess we will see a release within a few hours.

Regardless of Halo of whatever else franchise, what sad times we have nowadays for gaming. Remaster this, remake that
It's just like the movie industry. Around the year ~2000 it shifted from original stories to prequels, sequels, remakes and reimaginings. As I've said before, some kind of virus that handicapped writers and producers imagination spread throughout hollywood. It's spread to the games industry as well.
Tried the first two levels. It does look good, but not spectacular. There is shader compilation at the start, and I did not notice any compilation or traversal stutter in the first 2 levels. Performance is good.
Ultrawide support is also good, which is not a given. The prerendered cuscenes run "full-screen", not with black bars all around.
There are also many options around mouse control, like deactivating acceleration or smoothing (both off by default). Shows they did not ignore important PC settings.
Gameplay is more or less unchanged, which was never really my cup of tea. Vehicles still drive like shit (but the Halo crowd loves this I guess) but seem to be faithful to the original.
Will see I finish this or not.

I’m having a blast with this iconic classic!
Always enjoyed Halo and this remake looks beautiful.
Only found 2 skulls in the 4 hours I’ve played so far!
I looked at the credits and they outsourced the hell out of it based on all the studios involved not that thats a problem!
Surely they’ll remake Halo 2 next, that would be awesome.
your favorite old halo game but you need a 5090 with DLSS on balanced at 1440p to break 60fps
what an age we live in men. I'm tired of UE5 lumen garbled noise everywhere when we had clean sharp graphics and didn't have to worry about this blurry noisey garbage not too long ago.
This seems stupid and sexist, but it’s almost certainly just stupid. Damage transfer in Halo is not straightforward.

From the "vehicle" to the character. Seats can protect their occupants from a portion of direct damage.
In this case, though, it seems like the person who captured the video intentionally made it look like the female characters are invulnerable, but they are not.

Yeah, all seats are vehicles. It’s common for games to handle it that way.
Quote:
Characters in vehicles took a certain amount of damage directly, some of it was absorbed by the vehicle, and it all depended on surface ID per character, so it was easy to mess up.
Likely just an AI programming fail.
Game also seems to be selling like shit, even on xbawx so
Big surprise coming from the 343 mongos who spent years shooing away the original fanbase, good job everyone!
