I feel like in this kind of situation you have two options:
1. Accept that this is the way the game will look when it releases and be pleasantly surprised if there are any improvements.
2. Pin your hopes on the expectation that the game will look way better at launch and feel angry and disappointed if it doesn't.
I think one is generally the healthier option.

That's good to hear then, I'm looking forward to the graphics of halo infinite when it launches in a few months.
If all they had in 2018 was an in engine render, does that mean the game has been put together in 2 years?
I've never read so much hyperbole. 343 has made two very good games and this looks fun too.

Seems plausible, Campaign trailer vs Campaign demo already have differences in lighting and textures.
i am confusd what this comparison between 2 different scenes meant to prove - different lighting conditons, different location - there is no proof of upgrade or downgrade either way.
the game wasnt developed for six years. They built an engine then built a game. Those are two separate things that occurred.
secondly, the issue people are Having is on the textures not the actual assets. ray tracing and higher res textures would make a difference. Both of which can be improved between whenever the demo was made and launch.
Exactly this. That's basically how the game is about to look.
And as someone has literally shown in a thread, Gears 4 had a massive improvement in a months time.
Or the thread title can change to "early demo," which she does say. Not sure why people want to bury that info.
I've done consulting on games that are remarkably put together over a year before release, while others are a hot mess months before release. you'd be surprised how much can change at the very end of development. not uncommon for earlier builds to be missing graphical effects, final textures etc either. god of war (ps4) was reported to be very rough right up until the end and it came out fantastic. of course you also have games like anthem that just never come together.
OP, report your own post and request a title change to better reflect what she told. So it will prevent people from asking to lock the thread.
I believe it can look a bit better by launch, but the fact ray tracing is coming in a post-launch patch is an admission they need more time to optimise and the version we will be getting at launch will be noticeably outdated a few patches down the line.
It's crazy how many memes have spawned from this already.
I mean.. the game isn't out yet. Any demo of an unreleased game is an early demo of the game.
Why does this collection of different people have different opinions? That is really strange.
Somewhere in the Microsoft war room it was overheard,
"Let's kick off our huge Xbox Showcase that all eyes will be on with an old, shitty looking version of our signature game because we can't be bothered to edit in new footage."
The time for excuses is over. If they had some secret, jaw dropping visual splendor of a Halo today was the day to show it. This is what they have, and it's all they have.

fair enough, but its the messaging and marketing that doesn't help. Saying it was built up for Series X is just a barefaced lie.
Xbox execs really need to keep quiet.
Microsoft messed up the Halo presentation. You dont do a first gameplay reveal in these conditions. My heart skipped when I saw a mountain pop in when Chief was riding the elevator. This is supposed to sell people on next gen and if next gen still has texture and model pop in what's the point of all these ssd talks.
I am not an Xbox person, but that being said the 4K60fps showcase of Halo looked neat. Not sure why people are disappointed? Were people expecting Killzone Shadowfall type graphical leap? The game is built around older gen machines and optimized for Series X for higher frame rate and resolutions. Just wait for Halo Infinite follow up, that's when you truly see the next gen halo :)
I was thinking the same thing. All I read around here is that framerate is king.
Has nothing to do with framerate. Halo 5 was 60fps too and it looked good at the time. People have every reason to expect this game to look better.
Why do people love to make excuses when they don't have to?
January when the game is going to be released after a few months is not an (early build) in any way. it is a realistic representation of the final product.
Halo was never a "graphics" game, why people don't want to embrace this simple fact? it doesn't have to look as good as Sony games. developers priorities are elsewhere and the series was always about delivering the best gameplay possible and a smooth experience, which is what really matters for a game like this.

This doesn't make any sense.
So MS is demoing gameplay for a game that's due out in a few months(ie. pretty much complete by now) for the first time using an older and uglier build that's several months old despite having a newer, and theoretically more polished, build available? I call bullshit. This sounds like damage control.

takes time and depending on what they're doing with current builds it might not be running as well. a better looking build that runs much worse would probably show worse than this. they should have went with a in game cinematic trailer with snippets of game play. they could have done a more in depth gameplay look later on.
The texture goes over the asset. Like if I make a rock. The texture map is completely separate. I also would have separate textures for ray tracing and baked lighting.
Given the context, I believe more is implied. Early demo makes it sound old.
