Halo Infinite 4k/60 Gameplay Demo
- Thread starter cartoon_soldier
- Start date
100%. Gameplay I thought looked great but as a showcase for a new system, this was visually lacking. The biggest head scratcher to me were the textures. The guns have literally no texture to them.
I should have known with Halo 5's direction that they would have.
It's such a weird fucking direction to take.
It looks like Halo, but graphically it is disappointing. I'm thinking back to the Rage 2 trailer, and that was more impressive graphically even though the game didn't turn out that great. A bigger disappointment is there was no sizzle reel trailer. That small slice of gameplay should have been supplemented with a 2-3 minute trailer that gives you a better idea of the story and environments you will be going to using in-game assets.
It had a "Disney" look to it to me. Like clean, but almost cartoon like? Prob because of the enemies.
Crowbcat incoming. Definitely not the best way to show off the world's most powerful console and that Brute meme will live with Xbox and Halo forever.
All I ever wanted the franchise to do was make gam
Maybe? I dunno. When I posted that, I was just kinda taken aback. I figured Halo Wars was just trying to be stylized, but now that seems to be the direction they want to go in? What was wrong with the Halo 1-3 art style that they want to change it so much? I personally don't care about detail, everything is so boxy, flat and lifeless... It was fine by me in Halo Wars at least, because I understood it as them trying to make the game visually more informative as a strategy game.
Also this. And where's that whole Cortana story? Has it been quietly dropped? Should mention I never finished 5, so not sure if even the banished were mentioned in that (but I think not).
It's out in 4 months (potentially less), it's not going to look much different than this, it certainly isn't going to transform into something as good looking as the reveal.
I don't think people realize how hot launch games come in
This whole ordeal makes me wish the discourse on games (and other mediums) was a bit more mature, that way games could be shown off earlier without people panicking due to a misunderstanding of how they're made.
Working on and hyping a game up for five years while showing very little of it only serves to make or break you and more often than not it's the latter.

looks all fucked up
Honestly I know I'm being hard on it though. Graphics aren't the end-all for me if the gameplay is there, and I do like a clean looking game. I just think they need to get their lighting sorted out because some of this looks pretty goddamn rough.
Guess which one is from 10 years ago?
Lack of aliasing and ass-blur makes me think neither. The Reach screenshot is from the MCC port from 6 months ago. Or it's a marketing prerelease bullshot (theatre mode), because Reach doesn't look that good on 360.
Jesus fuck man. The only good thing to come out of all of this is that gameplay looks closer to classic halo. Really hoping the multiplayer delivers and the graphics aren't garbage there.Guess which one is from 10 years ago?

Only posting because I literally just happened to be paused on a frame featuring a gun under different lighting conditions (not the same gun)
They're not going to delay it, they'll launch it and then fix it over time. In a couple of years it should be pretty good lol. It's the way 343 likes to work and it's perfect for keeping people subscribed to Gamepass.
we need some full bitrate straight source of this video - these comparisons with youtube compression aren't helping
I haven't played a Halo since Halo 2, but I was expecting to have my jaw dropped by a next-gen Halo. I just felt...kind of uninspired by it? I mean the open level Halo gameplay is fun and I'm sure running around with a friend in this would be good times, but it didn't feel substantially different from what I remember of Halo 2. The grappling hook looked cool and I'm always a sucker for those, but it looked more like just another toy to mix up your kills with instead of opening up new types of gameplay. I'm sort of comparing that in my head to the new Crash Bandicoot, which felt like classic Crash, but had things like the rail sliding which added a new dimension to the gameplay.
Aesthetically, being 60fps and cross-platform obviously hampers what they can do, but it was just the basic art direction and level design that felt drab. Lighting has some issues. No "wow" moments for me. Made the game feel more dated than it should. Honestly it just looked like a current gen game to me, and certainly not an Xbox system seller for people that aren't already Halo superfans. I was a fan of Halo back when it was a Mac exclusive title, and before that I loved the Marathon games. Had a lot of fun with the first two Halos. But it seems to me like the IP could just use a break at this point until there's something really compelling to bring it back with.

Here's the thing, I'm not a graphics whore. But, when you hype your shit up for so long and start with a initial teaser that appears to be totally next-gen, you can't just then show up with a standard, current gen showcase. Even worse, is the gameplay was just...boring.
In no way did they demonstrate how an open-world Halo was beneficial to the series, how it changed anything. What they showed could have been a random level in any previous Halo games since its not like Halo is known for incredibly cramped corridors, its arenas have always been large spaces that allow for vehicles. So, how is OPEN-WORLD Halo any different? Where's the hook (besides the one of Chief's arm)?

There is some subtle detail there, the AR read out when he pans across the sky like it's dirty or fogs up.
The game just looks off, incomplete or something. It's clean etc. but just something missing, like an update pack post release that gives things more life or maybe not. I don't think an improvement kills clarity but maybe I have no idea.

This is the exact reason most of my diehard Halo crew dropped 5. Is it possible that this is my most anticipated game and biggest disappointment at the same time?
they burned me every single time and somehow i will play Infinite, but i'm hurt. they need to over delivery in gameplay and multiplayer or MS should just hire Bungie and apologize. 343 just ain't fit, they need something new w/o the peer pressure of Xbox's biggest IP.
Wooooooow...The memes are killing me, holy shit.
Can we get a Brute Force 2?
My masterpiece is complete
Childish...but I can't help but laugh this is old GameSpot forums all over again.
graphics comparisons under different lightning conditionsGuess which one is from 10 years ago?
When Killzone Shadowfall reveal trailer looks better than next gen Halo Infinite, something is wrong.
I think it's just being rushed for launch.

Strange that they make a totaly new engine that the have build from the ground up to take advantage of the new hardware, but there is almost no difference from Halo 5. Why did the have a marketing of the engine in 2018 when it is basicly the same.
Realy cant get into the story of this one either. To early to tell so I have to see where they take it from here.

I also think it might be due to us living in a new age of marketing. We're all used to seeing 'everything' at E3, but now we're getting a drip feed through these direct style presentations. I'm sure Halo is the biggest thing MS has this year and they probably want to hold some stuff back for a later show. I'd bet we definitely see more Halo stuff whenever we get the console price.
Yeah, wasn't a lot to it that makes you think wow, this new Halo is great. Gun play was the high point but as you said, it's bog standard for Halo.
The only non-Master Chief human character who they've shown.
Watching it again, I'm now completely unsure as to what his accent is. He read as Eastern European in this and the previous trailers, but I think I'm wrong.

its almost seems like they wanted to get RTX working by the time this trailer released but didn't. Look at the mountain and the hills in the back; just looks so flat.
Engine is good for implementing content fast apparently so it's not just graphics.
Considering how they basically just ran through a demo chunk of the game without any special treatment, these visuals aren't exactly bumming me out.
This came out this gen...
Looks empty, vegetation looks static and sparse... Looks like a current gen game at best. If it's supposed to be a showcase for their new consoles it's a miss.
