Agree with him.
Looks flat and static and quite frankly unimpressive, even if it's dynamic 4k/60/open world.
It goes way beyond adding RT and boom, all issues are solved.
And in what capacity will RT be implemented?
I reaaaly doubt they'll go for a very expensive RT GI, which would likely make the most difference.

Straight up, they just don't have gameplay to show. Especially from their newer studios. They're playing catch-up still.
Didnt DF seem to point out that lighting was a major issue with that demo?
It is one of the many major issues with it, yes. DF skipped a lot of them, like what seems to be extremely aggressive VRS of anything a bit beyond the closest objects, making everything look muddy and low-res.
Edit: Really bad take on my part. Apologies.

The one thing I expected to soften the blow when we all watched it live was when it cut to 343i, I thought it was gonna be announced that it was 60fps unfaltering on the XB1S/X and 120fps on Series X. Think it could have gone a long way to stave off the backlash.
Watch the video and you'll know.
Great video, aside from the joke at the beginning, which some might consider unnecessary, he praised where he had to praise and criticized where he had to criticize.
It was constructive. But honestly anyone can tell it was a very poor showing overall.
lol its 1 minute out of a 23 minute long video detailing those "constructive criticisms".
It really wasn't, Alex from DF did a far better breakdown of Halo Infinite and he didn't have to shit on the game to do it. However I respect the guy but he should be better than that.
I would classify this video as constructive criticism. It's actually quite detailed in its suggestions for what could improve the image quality.
I learned more from this video than the DF video. That's not a knock on the DF video, it just had a slightly different focus.
Honestly if halo even out a pre-alpha tag and running on pc I feel like people wouldn't have been as harsh. But it felt like it was on series x (assumptions pre show) and then it's 4 months away. So like it's just seems like man wtf were they thinking here.
but I think they are looking to make this a base build and continually improve overtime so I guess def looking to see what the first release is for it will be before they patch RT

alex's analysis was very very narrow on just lighting. This was broad overall. Just because Alex was a bit softer on the game doesn't discredit this analysis as well. Both takes are correct for what they looked at. ESP when there were things like some guns lacking muzzle flash, grunts not even reacting when a grenade was stickied on them a lifeless world(no foliage moving, or grass moving) etc. there was a lot bad from this showing.
Well it graphically looks weak. That's a fact. I love me some Halo, but it does look underwhelming, especially it being a Series X game.
This is my take as well, Halo deserved the flak for its showing, but if he wants to be taken serious he should let this type of shit takes out of his videos.
I'm not going to knock the guy anymore than I have, he's far better at this than I could ever be, but when you have other posters describing his analysis as "brutal", say no more.
You've basically confirmed that you didn't watch the video. You just don't like that people would describe it as harsh or brutal. He's making honest observations and unfortunately for all of us the truth is a bit ugly. Honestly if you want to gripe about something, while I found it funny, the last 20 seconds of the video was a bit unnecessary and childish.
