Halo Infinite on Xbox One Will Still ‘Look Incredible’ Says Franchise Boss
While Halo Infinite is confirmed for the next Xbox, currently known only as Project Scarlett, Halo franchise development director Frank O'Connor says the game will still 'play and look fantastic' on Xbox One.
Speaking to YouTuber Blackmist523 O'Connor said: "Obviously the special citizen
will be Scarlett, and we've worked with that hardware team to make sure the game shows up amazingly on it... but it will
be for Xbox One and it will look incredible."
Project Scarlett's list of confirmed specs so far reveal a powerhouse. When it launches at the end of 2020 it'll pack a custom AMD Zen 2 processor that promises four times the power of the Xbox One X, supporting 8K resolution and 120fps gameplay. With that kit, it's clear that Halo Infinite will look and run better on Project Scarlett, but O'Connor was keen to stress that weaker specs don't mean the Xbox One release will run poorly by comparison.

Nope, Turns Out Solid Snake Isn’t Coming to Tekken 7
Against the hopes of many an attendee at this year's EVO fighting game tournament, Metal Gear Solid's Snake is not coming to Tekken 7, as was believed. The official EVO Twitter account clarified what happened Sunday.
"Just to clear things up, the Snake cameo video that we showed during Tekken finals was our idea of a little joke," the EVO account wrote. "It was not intended to imply a character reveal, and was done on our own, without consulting Bandai Namco. Sorry for any confusion!"

Opinion: Why I’m Happy Stadia Isn’t Going down the Netflix for Games Route
As someone who lives in Australia, I didn’t pay much attention to Stadia initially, as it seemed like the sort of thing designed more for countries with half decent internet. As I’ve started digging into it, however, I’ve put aside the question of how well the tech will work, because that’s something that will be determined with time. Instead, the initial barrier to entry for me (well, aside from the fact that Australia isn’t one of the 14 launch countries) is the question of when Stadia will deliver on the things that make it unique and more importantly, interesting.

Evangelion Director is Making a New Ultraman Movie
Hideaki Anno, the infamous director of Neon Genesis Evangelion and Shin Godzilla, is set to write and produce a new Ultraman film, according to Japan Today via Game Informer.
The new Ultraman film, titled “Shin Ultraman,” will be directed by Shinji Higuchi, who also co-directed 2016’s Shin Godzilla with Anno. Higuchi is also known as a writer on Evangelion, and a director on Attack on Titan. The similar titles (“Shin” translates to “new”) is surely intentional, given the co-director’s artistic direction they took on the Godzilla film. IGN gave Shin Godzilla an 8.5 out of 10, saying it “establishes its own unique style while taking inspiration from the classics in all the right ways.”

The 100 Is Ending After Season 7
The 100 will end after its upcoming Season 7, creator Jason Rothenberg announced on Twitter Sunday.
The 100 is not being touted as being cancelled so much as ending on its own terms, with CW president Mark Pedowitz telling critics that Rothenberg always hoped to end the series after Season 7. In May, The CW renewed almost its entire lineup for the 2019-2020 season, aside from Jane the Virgin, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and iZombie, which were already scheduled to end after their most recent seasons.
