This is super misleading.

One is in-game, that new image is cinematic. One of the developers cautioned people on twitter. They might be setting themselves up for failure by doing this.

Before and aftererer.

 

[Justin9mm]

The fact that it took backlash to fix infinite tells you that Xbox is out of touch with their fans. I'm glad they have come through fixing this but seriously!

 

[Robb]

Looks a lot better, the character models were my biggest gripe visually when I watch the original reveal.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Before and after.

Exactly.

 

[sinnergy]

This thread Craigs me up

 

[Esppiral]

Old Craig is so adorable, like the new E.T.

 

[Fredrik]

I think that's the most impressive of all of this, is that a meme saved the game

Yup, made the console launch lackluster from a 1st party perspective but in the end we’ll get a better game now and that’s more important. Craig should honestly be an important NPC with a cool story, not just an enemy you do yet another headshot on. There is still time, 343, do it! Let Craig live!

 

[DenchDeckard]

Looks really good. Just over a month….sooooooon.

my 20th anniversary series x will be ready!

 

[Black_Stride]

How about in game instead of in engine? I wish all gaming companies would stop with this "in engine" nonsense, the games never look anywhere near as good and people get pissed off.

Because the character team is showing off their characters in as neutral a way as they could.
If its in game there will be an animation playing twisting the character or weird lighting due to the games dynamic nature.
In engine they can control that to show off the characters.

Will they look exactly the same in game...absolutely not, the game is dynamic....but thats not the point of the blog post which im guessing you didnt read at all.

This is how Uncharted 4 hair was presented in-engine:

The hair literally never looks that good in game......but again thats not the point, if you are trying to present the hair youll capture the hair at 4K even if the game wont even actually be at 4K nor will the lighting ever be like that in game except for curated cutscenes.

 

[GymWolf]

I think you have the wrong Craig on the wrong body lol. Unless you think old Craig actually looks better.

People love old craig.

 

[GymWolf]

That's because Halo never created brutes.
Bungie did.

I mean 343 created the fucking prometheans so they are even worse...

 

[22:22:22]

Looks great

 

[MidGenRefresh]

To people bitching that it's "in-engine" and will look much worse during gameplay. Here's a side by side of Jackal in-engine and in gameplay from the latest trailer.

You worried? Don't be.

 

[Gaelyon]

The models looks so much better than last year. It wasn't hard though. Craig did save the game from a catastrophic release indeed.
Good work Craig, you'll be remembered !

 

[STARSBarry]

Credit where credit is due, iv slowly gone from not caring any less to "I have gamepass I might as well download it" given the campaign trailer.

Its a shame coop is not in at launch but I assume that will be fixed soon enough.

 

[oldergamer]

Am I lying? Check yourself

Its a cross gen game. Just like GOW Ragnarok, AC Vallhalla, Horizon FW and many others.

So gtfo

How about you gtfo with the bullshit that is basically saying cross gen holding things back visually. its not.

I'm sorry, but how does Halo: Infinite look next gen? It's clear that the game isn't looking nearly as good as it would if they weren't bound by hardware that was weak by 2013 standards. The game barely runs on Xbone. I'm not saying the game looks bad by any means. I think the characters, Banished and especially the MJOLNIR looks absolutely stellar, but I don't think there's anything wrong about the statement that the game is held back.

 

[Sony]

I hope we get to see a wider variety of enemies in this and future installments. They have the whole galaxy to explore, I'm sure they can do more than just grunts, jackals, elites and brutes. Sure there are some new enemies, but I would love that Mass Effect vibe of being in a place with multiple species. It doesn't help that brutes are basically apes. But let's see how the variety in Infinite plays out

 

[Shubh_C63]

This image is gonna come back and bite them in the ass. Shark bite or dog bite, that has to be seen.

 

[Javthusiast]

Not my Craig. Bring back the og.

Of course its not going to look as good as a game made for current gen, it is cross gen afterall, like forbidden west, Ragnarok, gt7 etc.

You can say its held back, but why focus on the negative?

 

[Negotiator101]

Bruh they had a release date for it before the meme kicked them into delay town. They were going to launch the game as you saw it. It not being ready for release is something people would have said with or without Craig. It looked dookie and still doesn’t look super great. Just a bit better than before.

It looks an order of magnitude better than last year, unless you're visually impaired? Secondly it was never going to release in the state that demo was as it was still in development, stop with the nonsense.

 

[Team Andromeda]

Thank you PlayStation fans. You've made MS invest into buying loads of studios and helped to make Halo look awesome

Correction. Playstation fanboys.
Ps fans wouldn't need to come into a halo thread and troll.

 

[MOTM]

You still don’t get it do you ….. nobody cares !!!

Wow MidGenRefresh 's post just ripped your shit opinion apart.

Check the post I quoted. There's nothing wrong with the statement that the game is graphically held back by beeing cross-platform. I'm personally not really bothered by it and am going to play this game for years and years to come, but that doesn't mean the game deserves only praise.

 

[Caio]

Xbox leaning into it

looks like the difference between XBox 1 and XSX models... I was not expecting that, not saying I'm not happy
Loving everything I see about this Halo. Can't wait.

Yeah, it looks like its going to be a great game.

 

[Marvel]

Hot

 

[RJMacready73]

Definitely a massive improvement, don't know what MS execs where thinking showing this game so early in such a weak state, you'd think there was no gamers with a fucking ounce of sense working for them that would've said in one of the internal meetings "er... Lads, this looks fucking terrible, do we really want to show off the POWER of series X with the game looking like this?" I mean it was an awful PR disaster and looked awfully last gen...

At least with Flight SIM and the new Forza we're getting to finally see what the box is capable off and as a Sony fan (not a fanboy) I'm both happy for MS and jealous of you guys

 

[Salmon Snake]

I like the old Craig better.

R.I.P. (at least for now, let's wait until release).

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Thanks for proving that it's exactly the same model, down to the last pixel. Why the one of the right looks so much better? Well, if you ever took at least one picture in your life you'll understand.

 

[existensmaximum]

If that isn't a hell of an improvement, I don't know what is. Well done!

 

[Sosokrates]

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Seriously enough with this console Vs. console comparisons.

 

[Rickyiez]

ROFL you made my day thanks .

That is the worst possible shot one could take from Tlou2 , most of the time she didn't looks as bad .

 

[Sosokrates]

Lol, double standards much. I cherrypick on TLOU2 and "most of the time she dont look that bad"

Yeah.... And same goes for halo infinite.

Its a limitation of global illumination on gen 8.

When people cherrypick on some games but not others, it just shows there bias and dishonest intention.

TLOU2 is one of my games of the gen and I think its one of the best looking games of gen8, you can find this in my post history if you want.

The lighting model in direct sunlight outside on skin has been a weakness of the naughty dog engine this gen.

 

[Sosokrates]

And the memes too.

Your comparison was perfect. An in game shot of the character's face up close, while the game is running. No photo mode glamour shots bullshit.

It's the type of low quality bait that is best just reported and then move on. Evilms Couldn't give 2 shits about the game. Some people of camp Blue are only out to burn down the game. Even on games like FH5 they are able to find graphical shortcomings. Best to be left alone and without attention. (Obviously camp green isn't above similar practices unfortunately)

 

[Evilms]

At least on TLOU it remains very close, where for halo it is day and night

Yes your right.

 

[YukiOnna]

No. Both games differences are the same when affected by different light sources in-game. This is getting stupid.

 

[Sosokrates]

I agree.

 

[Gameplaylover]

Evilms Couldn't give 2 shits about the game

Oh actually he cares a lot. He is very worried that it could be a good game.

Edit: He is gone forever and won't be missed.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

I will repeat myself: I want an original Craig as skin for multiplayer

On topic: new Craig is badass

Leaks show you are getting one...

 

[Sosokrates]

Oh actually he cares a lot. He is very worried that it could be a good game.

Now he can "worry" about infinite while hes on his ban
