Arguably the Microsoft crown jewel franchise, Halo, is coming to PlayStation for the first time. It's true that the sci-fi series has seen better days and may no longer be Microsoft's top-performing franchise, but Halo is basically synonymous with Xbox, and now it's making the jump to PlayStation in a development that would have shocked anyone reading this years ago.
Halo Studios themselves have previously confirmed that they intended on showing off what they've been working on at the upcoming Halo World Championship, which takes place between October 24-26. However, they stopped short at confirming it would be a full Halo game, even if the hint was obvious. Well, Schreier says it is indeed a new Halo title. "Xbox's best hope for a blockbuster game in recent years was 2021's Halo Infinite, the latest entry in its most vital franchise," writes Schreier, possibly while chugging coffee and staring at a whiteboard covered in string and pictures.
Actor Aaron Paul voices one of the leads in the just-released episodic game Dispatch, and it's his first time starring in a game. He is a big fan of games, though, and has a special fondness for a few in particular. Speaking to IGN, the 46-year-old Breaking Bad actor singled out the 1996 original Resident Evil as one of his favorites. "I didn't know I could feel that way while playing a game. It sent shivers down my spine in a way that no film has ever done. It was just terrifying. But it was so gripping," he explained.
