It wasn’t a select few who were let down, it was the majority of PS fans online that expected certain games to take full advantage. I stand by if Sony was just a little more chatty, you guys would have had realistic expectations right away. 

Imo I’d chalk up Halo Infinite to dev incompetence. 343 is just horrendous with deadlines. Halo 5 launched without basic features that took over a year to add. Halo Infinite had the gameplay down but lacked lighting, fidelity and texture polish that only time can fix.

You don't have any statistic to claim majority of the PS fans online were left down. But ok let's pretend you are right. So there you have it, majority of the fanbase criticized the Sony PR for not giving them what they wanted. Still for Phil you are covering his back and make apologies for his lies and calling it transparency.

Halo Infinite was in development for 5 years right? So you want to put the blame on deadlines? Precious. At least you moved on from "Halo was never a graphical showpiece".

Just what we see. Keeping in mind gamers who go on social media and gaming sites are a vocal minority. I just didn’t see a sizeable group (or any PS gamers) that thought Horizon 2 was cross gen material when it was announced is all I’m saying. 

Halo was sometimes a graphical showpiece but certainly not every game. It was never mandatory but nice to have when done (like Halo 4). What can I say, I’m pissed as any other fan that 5 years wasn’t enough time. Allegedly they had to scrap their initial game due to intense Halo 5 narrative backlash.
