Halo Infinite Looked Really Bad

ratchet and clank or gran turismo or horizon dawn looks more ''action packed'' and ''fun'' than halo infinite? Nah those games look boring in comparison sorry.

Yes halo infinite still has alot of room to improve, but how fast they threw you into the /actionshooting is a breath of fresh air in todays gaming there was no longer stupid tutorial only a stupid cutscene.

I wanted them to reboot the whole thing all together. This seems closer to a sidetrack of Halo 5. Which is still better than continuing with Halo 5 story arch.

With regards to the gameplay, it looks and plays like Halo except with the grapple hook. And if they weren't changing the formula, then I agree there was no reason to keep it secrete for so long but I would not be surprised that its more related to a change in direction mid develop. I can't prove this but I wouldn't be surprised.

@BenjaminBanklin: damn when you lose crap gamer you lost it all.

2 minute cutscene and bam the games already throwing you into the action, now this is more how a first person shooter is supposed to be done goddamn it, hell the action starts faster than halo combat evolved dude's lol.

Woulda been even better if there was no 2 minute cutscene before it, but this is more how a goddamn first person shooter is supposed to be!

I went and rewatched the demo on my OLED tv. Only saw it on my iPhone earlier. The texture pop in is just disgusting. It’s so noticeable. Definitely Xbox one is holding this game back. I don’t think the textures look terrible. Definitely not the best but they are ok. Gameplay looks solid. Getting classic halo vibe there. But they really need to at least fix the texture pop in issue because it is very noticeable.

Gotta say, these Infinite memes are excellent. 343i delivered 🤗🤗

I'll leave these screenshots here.

Really nice, clean looking game.

I remembered watching the demo and there was a strange instance of draw distance popup with clouds at around the 04:33 mark when Master Chief ascended the elevator. Not sure what hardware they were using but looks like they have a lot of work ahead.

Someone needs to put all the Halo games screenshot side by side and guess which one is which like COD.

@GameboyTroy: Where did you get those shots?

@hardwenzen: you know who really delivered? guerrilla games! rofl killzone shadow fall flopped so much they abandoned the franchise to join sonys army of 3rd person the witcher clones rofl!

I will say it does seem weirdly tame in graphics for a series that is known for pushing hardware on Xbox consoles, but when you also consider how expansive the game is and the fact it started development as an Xbox One game, it begins to make sense why Halo: Infinite doesn't look leaps better than what we have currently. Thankfully it does look better than Halo 5, it's bigger than Halo 5, and still seems like it plays at a smooth 60fps on XSX and that's what matters most from the next-gen console but one thing I do know, PC version will no doubt make it even better.

Digital Foundry will do a breakdown later tonight/tomorrow and we'll find out if its a hit or a miss.

I agree that it looks clean, but if the visuals are this simplistic, it should've been a 120fps game. Destiny 2 looks better and would EASILY run at over 120fps on a 12tflops pc. I see why not Infinite. If the reason is 4k, then maybe they should've mentioned that 120fps is possible with dynamic resolution.

@GameboyTroy: you mean bullshots

Yeah, many of us have wanted more out of Halo for a while and it seems like we are just getting more of the same. There is so much they can do to switch up the gameplay and it is a rich universe. What they have shown so far is not very impressive, but there may be hidden depth still. Need to see more.

F*ck are you on, buddy? Who said Killzone is good? And why the f*ck are you talking about Shadow Fall in 2020? Hello???

I'll let you folks look at this and decide what's what:

After playing MCC on PC with Halo 3, that game has aged well, like fine wine.

It's actually a fair comparison. Killzone 2 and 3 were good games. Shadowfall was underwhelming, especially for a next/new-gen title at the time. So, comparing the disappointment in the state of the franchises at new console launch is legit.

im not a huge fan of the weapons or artstyle, but the gameplay looks solid enough.

eitherway not like ps5 shown anything that looks more fun.

@speedytimsi: Sounds like a good idea.

EDIT: I was going to do it but for all the games its 200GB. 😥

I never saw KZ to be anywhere near good, so to me, there was no disappointment whatsoever.

Killzone games had decent critical and commercial success. So, there are a lot of people who like them (myself included). It is not on the level of Halo's success obviously, but KZ was once deemed Sony's "Halo Killer". LOL

@Pedro: Here is the COD screenshot quiz

gran turismo has shittier driving physics than even san fransisco rush 1996 lmao, ya graphically looks good but the driving always sucked donkey balls, ratchet and clank actually looks ok, but it's just not my style of game.

horizon dawn is just boring in general./

Eh still rather play halo infinite than any of em.

This is a thread about Halo, not Minecraft

All what's missing is Switch Crysis Demaster comparison to Infinite. OOF

Looks fine to me.

Diversity!

I don’t know if any publisher has promised so much, and delivered so little as MS has with the XSX so far based on everything they showed. Turns out that Crytek dev was right. The XSX isn’t anywhere near the machine MS, specially Phil Spencer, touted it to be. The close up of the brute at the end looked worse than the characters in Killzone Shadow Fall, a PS4 launch title...that also ran at 60hz (in multiplayer). Get out of here with that “Sony can’t compete” nonsense, you’re done. You’re so done it’s embarrassing. Which is literally exactly what I said after that long form PS5 tech talk: that XSX supporters would be embarrassed. Ha! It feels so good to be so right.

And I suppose the total lack of raytracing is beside the point? Isn’t that what the “crazy powerful” XSX is supposed to shine at? And 120hz is only reserves for 2D and racing games now? Historic disappointment for Xbox fans. Sony is going to absolutely disembowel MS this gen. And honestly, I think this might be the last console gen for MS. They will launch a streaming/download service on PC and go after Steam instead. I’m calling it: the XSX will be the end of MS in the console arena. They played checkers against Cerny’s 4D chess and lost. Keep in mind the One X already flopped. Sony has stumbled, but never flopped. Except the poor lil’ Vita!

What a sexist photo! I am outraged! LOL

Obviously not, but it is sad how people react when things are switched around.

@SOedipus: diveristy=anti european!

Looks like a 2014 game.

Well said

@Gaming-Planet: 2013 you mean killzone shadow fall looks better, but it's not as open ended and its gameplay is shittier.

MS sets pics like this up for obvious PR

"See? We're just a little bit less grabby than Ubisoft!"

@BenjaminBanklin: little did they know, i walked past every row bragging their asses!

like a grab ass!

@ps5rulez: @BenjaminBanklin: There is nothing wrong with a little grab ass in the workplace as long the person is appreciative of the extra attention. :)

If anything Ubisoft's recent shit-show shows how hollow the declarations of "wokeness" was.

When money's involved anything and everyone can basically get fucked.

@lifelessablaze: Not a looker in the bunch.

@fedor: all the way to the left, kinda alone

@Chutebox: Good eye.

@BenjaminBanklin: The graphics for this game looks terrible. The Xbox One is definitely holding back the power of the XSX. This thread has been a comedy.

I feel bad for all of them. That's unexpected and unfortunate.

It looked like a remake of Combat Evolved bar some nice depth to the images and the supposedly open world.

Looks like a series running on fumes, sadly.

I was excited for this one because I've been wanting to get into the franchise.

Looks bland. Very whatever.

The MS damage control has begun.
