John Carpenter Claims ‘Halo Infinite’ to Be Best of the Series

As horror fans know, the master himself, John Carpenter, turns 74 today. And, in case you didn’t know, John Carpenter is also a longtime fan of video games. After all, he lent his likeness to the 2002 video game sequel to The Thing, but has also taken to Twitter from time to time to post his thoughts on the games that he’s been playing.

One title earning top praise from Carpenter is 343 Industries’ latest entry in the Halo series with Halo Infinite. Carpenter sent out his thoughts last night about the Xbox shooter, going so far as to say that the game is the series’ best.

This of course prompted responses from a variety of people, including some of the designers themselves.

But, as we all know, the man loves his horror. In an interview with Giant Bomb back in 2013, Carpenter listed off several of his favourites, which just so happened to include BioShock, the Dead Space series, The Last of Us and Silent Hill.

Would we ever get Carpenter directing a video game? That remains to be seen, but Carpenter would be up for it. “I’d love to work on an original video game,” Carpenter said back in 2013. “Maybe the opportunity will present itself.”

Meanwhile, Halo Infinite is available now on the Xbox Series and PC, as well as the Xbox Game Pass. The TV adaptation of the series is expected later this year for Showtime. Pablo Schreiber (“American Gods”) has been set to star as Master Chief, with Otto Bathurst on board to direct.

Dead by Daylight fans have another Tome launch today in Tome 19: SPLENDOR, bringing with it a new content update, the game’s next Modifier, a new Tome packed with unlockable rewards, and a major update to the in-game store. Accompanying the update will be several Outfit Collections, which will be arriving over the next couple of weeks.

After giving fans a taste of what’s to come with the time-limited Lights Out Modifier, Behaviour Interactive has introduced a new one with Chaos Shuffle, offering a completely different challenge. In the Chaos Shuffle Modifier, players will be jumping into Trials with randomly selected Perks from all of Dead by Daylight’s available Perks. However, instead of relying on tactics they’ve grown accustomed to, players will now have to contend and strategize with the Perks they’re dealt at the beginning of the match. Chaos Shuffle will be out soon.

Along with the new Modifier is the new Event Tome with SPLENDOR, packed with new challenges, memories, and classy rewards to Dead by Daylight, inspired by all things gold and silk. Players will unlock memories that offer a glimpse into The Artist and Zarina Kassir’s past, with new outfits for The Trickster, Nea Karlsson, Mikaela Reid, The Skull Merchant, and many more characters across the Free and Premium Tracks. Players who purchase the Rift Pass instantly unlock a gold-adorned Outfit for The Trapper, and those who complete the track are rewarded with a brutal Ultra Rare Outfit for The Doctor.

As for the in-game store, with over 30 Chapters packed with content and outfits for our numerous Survivors and Killers, the in-game store has been given a complete visual overhaul. The new interface allow players to easily find items that are on sale, cosmetics from a specific collection, as well as purchase bundles that contain multiple items at a discounted price.

Finally, there are the new Outfit Collections that are coming to Dead by Daylight in the coming weeks.

  • The Forgotten Myth Collection brings a horrifying Visceral Legendary Outfit for The Huntress, complete with its own unique Mori.
  • Metamorphosis manifests in different ways. The returning Chrysalis Collection reimagines both Killer and Survivor with butterfly or moth-inspired looks.
  • The return of the Visions of the Future Collection offers new futuristic looks for several Survivors.
  • A new addition to the Nicolas Cage Essentials Collection proves the actor needs no stylist to look cool.
  • The Forgotten Garden Collection spreads botanical brutality to two Killers.
  • The Cats & Dogs Collection brings more cozy sweaters to the game inspired by our furry friends.

Dead by Daylight is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
