Halo: Reach försenas till The Master Chief Collection

343 Industries håller som bäst på att släppa Halo: Reach till Halo: The Master Chief Collection, vilket då kommer innehålla alla Bungies Halo-spel (samt Halo 4) i ett massivt paket. Planen var att släppa Halo: Reach någon gång under 2019, men det verkar som att detta kanske inte blir verklighet för Xbox One.

I ett långt och uppriktigt brev från utvecklarna, skriver de att de stött på minnesproblem med Xbox One och att de inte vet när problemet kommer vara löst:

"As has been stated previously, making any game is hard, let alone where you're dealing with 11 game engines and 7 complete games under the roof of one title sharing the same hardware resources.

One key goal that has been a part of bringing Halo: Reach into MCC is that for Xbox One, the team has been attempting to bring UE4 online for new character customization options on Xbox. You can read more about the progression system in the May and June development updates. This however has proved to be quite challenging as MCC was already close to memory limits running on the original Xbox One consoles. Bringing the entire progression and customization system into MCC also requires memory to be used to run the additional UE4 engine. Currently, a lot of progress has been made in getting it up and running, but the title still is not within memory constraints to properly run on the Xbox One. In order to flight on Xbox One, we need to be within these limits, otherwise instability will be an issue.

Until the team has an adequate solve for this unique issue, flighting on the Xbox One will continue to be delayed. That being said, the team is pushing hard on a solution as they want to flight the Xbox One build as soon as possible. Until then though flighting will continue to remain solely on the PC build."

Förhoppningsvis kan 343 Industries lösa problemet förr snarare än senare så vi återigen kan få uppleva den ledsamma men ljuvliga berättelsen om de modiga Spartan-krigarna i Noble Team och deras möten med Coventant på planeten Reach.

Hur skulle du ranka Halo: Reach i Halo-serien?
