See Halo 3 with ray tracing via re-shade

Just skipped around the video a bit and wow! Makes me even more excited to see what Infinite can truly do on PC and Series X!
It was interesting on 360. The lighting was great but the resolution was garbage. 60fps + higher resolution alone makes a huge difference.
The actual neat stuff from that reshade tinkering are the more subtle things he does like the sharpening.
The stuff like the DOF is ridiculously aggressive and the reflections are just hilarious. Dudes reflecting themselves off dry concrete and wood.

Watching the video again reminded me how large the levels were, some of that was so incredibly impressive for the time.
Hell, most Halo levels are still not the same level of grand scale we saw in Halo 3, 13 years ago.
I hope Infinite brings that back.
Well if you skip around you'll miss the joke that he is overdoing things on purpose.
That depth of field effect on the weapons makes the game next gen. And then it reminds me of why kill one games look so good
Looks fantastic, the part where he turns all the settings up so everything is basically glass is pretty funny.

Yes, I hope Infinite goes for Halo 3 style sandboxes (with some Halo 1 mood) and doesn't go too far in the direction of full open world.
We kind of started the generation off with this.
Go, Second Son still looks amazing.
Halo 3 looks so much better with that ambient occlusion. They could skip all the other bells and whistles RT offers and just give me that AO and I'd be happy

Still one of the best looking games on PS4. Blows my mind that Sucker Punch was able to get that out of the console so early in its lifespan.
Something about Halo 3 is timeless. The lighting, materials, and physics to this day feel clean and polished and hold up incredibly well. It all appears very natural and almost effortless, unlike later Halos that still look great but feel a bit more forced. (dramatic lighting that stands out a bit too much)
Which is exactly why "wait until later in the generation when developers have more of a handle on the hardware!!" is misleading.
Ray tracing is neat but "everything looks wet" is gonna be the new "everything was bloom" from 10 years ago.
Yes it is. It's got that clean image quality and gorgeous lighting system. The huge wide open levels let it all shine.
Yeah this gen in particular felt like the first time we got stuff right from the start the mat kinda was barely if ever topped.
Infamous, Killzone, Ryse, The Order, Ori are all games from the first 2 years of this gen that remain lookers this day.
Just the bump in lighting and IQ makes it so much more visually appealing than what I remember on the old 360. Delicious.
I see the massive improvement in the effects, from a technical perspective.
However.
Aesthetically, it looks like shit. This obviously needs an artist on top deciding how to best use the tech within the established Halo look and considering the nature/detail of all other assets being used.
