New Halo Infinite Info (No sequel, game is a platform, Ray-tracing coming post-launch, and more)
- Thread starter Vinc
- Start date
The lack of RT in the Xbox Series X version should introduce a new seal to the game's boxes:
Oh boy LOL
Worried about that too. There are no massive set-pieces or dramatic build in action in this trailer. Just a bunch of enemies huddled around a waypoint that need to be "cleared." To make matters worse, the AI looks really disappointing.
If it's an open world game then yes, that's exactly what we will get. Think of the 2nd level of Halo 1 titled "Halo" but bigger and that's my guess of what every non-story related mission will be.
In my worst nightmares regarding Infinite's presentation I never thought something like this would happen.reach/infinite
shame they had to show an unfinished game... but 5 years lol
God,this is...that just sucks as a Halo fan,and it's not just the stupid AR model,its the whole thing.
Can they gives the color of Halo wars 2 back please ? It's terrible, specially the elite shield.
I can't believe they hyped and hyped and hyped 'the return of Halo', and what we get is Destiny with somehow even *worse* graphics than Destiny 1, which was 360-XB1 cross-gen.
It's so weird because all the moves MS had been making the last couple of years *seem* positive but then every time they pull back the curtain to reveal what's been happening in the background, it just looks like they don't really have a clue what people want. Or maybe they're just outright lying about what they're vibing while actually working on dead-in-the-water garbage like Halo: Infinite Disappointment.

Screenshot is a bit misleading. There are is certainly finer texture detail on that gun not shown here. Watching the 4k video over the gameplay and you can see the extra subtle texture detail of the gun texture when it's in actual light. Also, they seem to have decided that all the guns are factory finished brand new and so there's no dirt or mud or battle scars on them.
Even if I believed that, why does the lighting on the gun on the right look so piss-poor? Fucking thing looks like it's been gourad shaded.
No, Halo is a sequential series. Not a fucking platform to launch some weirdo pseudo live service but we didn't say live service function. I mean their last attempts with Warzone in Halo 5 and Spartan Ops in Halo 4 were not stellar, and that was a content once-a-month thing. In contrast to their competitors I don't see Sony making any of their essential series into platforms for live services nor Nintendo. They do have much more flexible IPS especially Nintendo but, this just sounds like a precursor to a Halo 5 launch where they were missing key things like BTB and forge and it felt like a hollow shell for a while.
I don't know, is he standing in the shadow of something? And you don't have to believe me, go load up the 4k video they released and look at it for yourself.
If its 60fps in splitscreen. I think the graphics can be forgiven, thats a big win in my eyes.
If this game actually has quality yearly upgrades/expansions that adds completed story arcs, new features, and a swath of new Multiplayer maps, balances, etc, then fine I can be down for it, but as others have said on here, you can't support already 6 year old tech for another 10 years without holding back the promise of a "next gen" Halo experience. That being said, other than the choppy animations, this game did remind me of a more sandbox gameplay style I remember from halo 1, so if they can sell that aspect of the game throughout its lifespan and keep adding tools and weps to continue diversifying that playstyle, I am completely down.
Ultimately, we shall see though if this From Soft quality or horse armor dlc quality add-ons.

Pretty much... I've played halo since the original and this is the first I'll not pre order. Wait for GP on xbox and pc... looks like it'll be another destiny 1 at launch. Shame.
I'm just curious what open world would add to the halo experience, the gameplay looked great but I wasn't convinced by open world design
This is great news (split screen)

The lack of RT in the Xbox Series X version should introduce a new seal to the game's boxes:
I'm actually amazed Phil Spencer was able to be so straight-faced in his comments about cross gen development a couple of weeks ago. I expected Halo to be his flagship 'proof' of what he was saying - even if it would be more expensive or intensive than most devs can afford - but this showing just about contradicts everything he was trying to imply there. Whether it's late enhancements or evident engine-level constraints in data streaming for the older hardware (way more aggressive pop-in than should be necessary), this just about proves the point that juggling more devices during development has its costs.
I swear to god, I thought this was a Halo 3 screenshot on Valhalla, from some dev diary or something like that.
Unbelievable that this is a next gen game. Seriously unbelievable.
Yes, the gun is in complete shadow. Very misleading screen grab, like everything else ITT

The more I think about it, the more I think this is the most disappointed I've been in any game reveal ever. I was really excited for it, but this is the worst Halo campaign reveal I think I've seen, unfortunately. I went from incredibly excited about the game to extremely worried about it.
That and it's open world at 4k/60, pretty substantial leap forward from past games.
But splitscreen games usually have different graphics settings depending on whether the user is playing single player or splitscreen
I said this in another thread, but what if we're thinking of Infinite being a "platform" in the wrong way. We're thinking of a single game with service type content updates. What if it's an internal platform, in the sense of an engine, toolset, assets, etc that will be used for any Halo spinoffs (ie. Reach type games) that will tie into the Infinite slice of the Halo universe)?
Seriously. How did we get here, after what we saw in this over two years ago?

Even animation quality and model quality took a serious hit after last year's E3 trailer. It's not even close. Something must have gone very wrong.
