Feel free to find a single thread or comment where I said even once that halo infinite would blow anybody away, or hype it up at all. You have zero idea what you are talking about.

At least is an Xbox One level game for you, other trolls suggesting that look worse than a 360 game.

Personally I think the man is fortunate to have the amount of good will he has. However not all Xbox fans think he’s great. They are probably a minority myself included.
What really bugs me is some of the hardest defenders criticise people for wanting them to do better and improve, not everyone is a troll or a zealot of PlayStation or whoever and if or when Xbox delivers something decent those criticising the people for wanting better are the first to champion it .

The game looks good & the improvements are clear, but it will not be a next-gen showpiece. It doesn't even matter, it has to be about gameplay first and at the very least it's quite nice to see their dedication to having a separate team do justice with the PC version. Never been a Halo fan but I look forward to giving a go, thankfully I have gamepass so I don't have to wonder about spending $70.

When or what is their next gen showpiece? That’s what irks me. My money will be on yet another Forza Horizon in the autumn , Starfield maybe.

Halo 5 did look really good on X1X.
I still think that they will overhaul the grfx and release a massive patch next year for this.

Well, Halo Infinite is targeting "up to 4K", so it will likely be 4K DSR like Halo 5 was on Xbox One X, which also ran at 60 FPS. Given that the XSX is double the speed of the One X, not counting the 25% IPC improvement, I think it's reasonable for people to expect a decent bump in visual fidelity. On the other hand, maybe it's the art style that's putting people off the game, since they seem to be intentionally going for less detailed assets to reduce the amount of visual clutter.

Dunno, not sure it's all that important anyway. Forza Horizon is going to look insane, for sure, I mean 4 already looks so god damn good. Not sure what they'll improve on besides LOD management but I'm here for it even if it's just a new location. FH4 is just gorgeous.

They shouldn't hold us PC players back. Give us full raytraced lighting. Dare to be great like 4A games.

Not just that it’s a multiplayer focus game with forge elements and I can’t even begin to imagine what sort of custom game options there are, and it has to run on a wide variety of device graphical strengths. I can’t think of a game that looks better than this and does all those things
the game still looks great and honestly at this point I don’t care as much about the graphics.

It definitely won't run native 4K 60fps on Series X come release. 343 made that clear I think right away when they said in that very first blog that it will run "up to" 4K. The environments are this size for a good. They have pretty big plans for what they'll do in campaign.

I just wanna play the game already. They've shown some images of what I assume is from the campaign. I wanna see the multiplayer side of the game.

I think Starfield will surprise people.

Strangely, when looking at the metals/materials in these screenshots, first thing I thought was that it’s following the first Halo’s artistic style.. now I’m wondering if it’s intentional or if they fucked up their shaders. Might not be like a technical compliment to compare to Halo Combat evolved shaders, but it’s the first thing that I thought of, and also strangely, I think the sequels kind of ditched the first Halo material art style..

I still don’t see the appeal of a monitor that wide.
Unless you’re using like some kind of a multi monitor set up with different applications on different screens then it’s a bit too much.

Man, I'm late to this latest round of screenshots, but the game still looks rough, in my opinion. Maybe it looks better in motion? I certainly hope so. The lighting on the textures just looks very 360/PS3 gen, I'm not sure exactly what they're doing wrong, but it looks like plastic and clay.

A lot of you guys saying it doesn't matter about the graphics it's all about the gameplay and basically giving MS a pass for spending years and this is what they have to show for it need to change tune, if I was in charge I would've put every resource at my disposal to churn out a fucking visual spectacular playable on Xbox series only and went all out and put Halo back on the pedastal it deserves, this would've generated enormous hype for the machine and it's capabilities and got people talking, hell I would've hired Zack Snyder to cut a fucking trailer for it... And don't give me shit about Zack, the man can cut a fucking trailer, this is what MS should've done in my eyes and then sub the game out to another team to make it playable on the og Xboxes.
I remember when Sony first showed off Killzone Shadow fall and this place went nuts as did every other website as we where finally looking at proper next generation visuals and it was that game that convinced me to jump ship, that and MS utter balls-up tech wise and reveal wise. So when it came out that MS was coming out swinging with better hardware it needed that WOW game, not some questionable CGI/cutscene bollocks but it needed that Halo 3 reveal cause as much as we all love gameplay over visuals, it's visuals that gets the internet talking and gets it buzzing and Halo should've been on fucking fire...

Doesn't need to be a huge difference, just needed polish and cleaner character design.

Ironically killzone was quickly dropped by many including any kind of esport competitive scene in favor of the bigger shooters like CoD and Battlefield 4 because despite its gorgeous graphics it lacked, oh what was it: GAMEPLAY
it played like another run-of-mill FPS with a linear campaign (and a meh story which is a shame because killzone 2-3 had really good campaigns) and the multiplayer took away some of the uniqueness of killzone 3 by making it more of a CoD clone.
I mean if we really want to talk graphics or gameplay let’s look at Nintendo. They’ve juggernaut’ed their way to the top consecutively for more than two years now and their console is a fucking potato with a screen on it.
I’m not gonna lie, would I prefer better graphics in halo? Yes. But let’s not kid ourselves, the inside of the book is more important than the cover.
also 343i doesn’t need to do much to get people to talk about halo. They could confirm a BR mode for the game and the internet would explode.

Not only that, but there is still so much we don't know about the game. It's true we have seen some images and some like them and some don't, but when thinking about the entire game as a whole we've seen diddly squat so far. At least we know that at E3 they are going to do a full reveal on everything. I don't think they an afford to be like, "well we're gonna push back even further." And totally agree about the gameplay has to be good or better graphics wouldn't matter in the end.

Such a bizarre take. How do you know idtech is even remotely equipped right now to handle whatever Halo Infinite is set to be on release and over the next 5-10 years without having a full understanding of what was done with the game engine and what their plans for the game are? I'm sure it can perhaps be made to be ready, but my assumption is it is not, which is why they built their a new engine around their desired ambitions and goals.
Also, call me crazy, but I think work in progress may actually mean "work in progress." I don't think it's an elaborate fake out lol. The game is still being built, and it looks fantastic btw.

I don't think you're getting what I'm trying to say lad, obviously gameplay will always trump graphics, but I'm talking about their marquee game, the one to get everyone talking about the series X and how do we get people talking about a console, you blow their minds with visuals first and halo did the complete opposite

You are agreeing with console fanboys, you need to think for yourself instead of following the moron parade.This game will never come out.

I don't know how, but I hadn't heard of this game until last week. It's on my list to check out for sure now.

Sound like Klobrille alright. I've never seen anyone dedicate so much of their time and energy toward doing PR for a massive multinational corporation...
...for free. It's embarrassing, and I genuinely wonder what his daily life is like when he spends so much of his time on this.

You interpreted my post wrong, so I'll fully explain it out to you like a villain from an anime explaining his powers.
I was joking with the intent of my first post, because the developers allegedly held the game back due to previous complaints about graphics. So my post was referring to the fact that if people keep complaining about the graphics, they'll keep pushing it back, and thus the game will never come out.

I just wish they dropped the Xbox One versions. Maybe just the multiplayer will be on Xbox One. Regardless I’m just not hyped at all for a new Halo game. I trust Joe Staten, but he came in way too late. Delay it, cancel it, I just don’t care like I used to.Will get a release date at E3 of next March but dont expect it then either.

I don't think this game will ever NOT look like an Xbox One game. No matter how much work they put in.
343 shouldn't have ever shown the E3 2018 "GAME ENGINE DEMONSTRATION" trailer. Hopefully this bites them in the butt, and other devs learn from this BS.

Such hyperbole in this thread. Although its no graphical benchmark by any means, it looks absolutely fine for a cross gen title.
There is solid improvement shown in the screenshots compared to what was shown in the gameplay reveal. Denying this is just being willfully ignorant. Whether those screenshots translate to the state of the graphics on release day is another thing altogether.

Great that it supports super ultrawides, though as someone said 21:9 is the sweet spot for gaming.
It still looks like an Xbox One game, and the artwork is very rudimentary. But the game will live and die by its multiplayer.
The biggest concern for the game has to be the fact that Battlefield 6 is releasing in a similar timeframe, and will have all the bombast of EA's marketing, and the graphics/physics to steal attention away from Infinite.

lol not at all. You seriously trying to say the meridian level of Halo 5 looks better than THESE environments? Cut it out! What was impressing you was post processing on a finished game, not raw texture quality because those didn't get upped till enhanced X1X version and the textures and environments on display in Infinite still look a clear step above.
