I prefered 343's style of forerunner architecture. Sleek, posh, all the extra floaty bits, how some parts of the architecture moved, etc. Almost as if it's alive, synthetically organic. This grungy, worn out, oldschool Halo CE style feels annoying to look at. Makes the forerunner structures feel dead, unimportant. But oh well, most folks love the dead decaying design.

It looks way better and I'm really happy with how it's turned out. But for the record, it still has issues. The foliage render distance is really low, trees stretch out for miles but quickly loose detail, And the world is just generally low poly. Oh and the post processing might not be noticeable at 4k without zooming in but it will get more obvious for anyone playing at 1080p It's not a serious complaint but people shouldn't expect cutting edge next gen graphics yet

[@pododododoehoh3550]

@@BotBruh448 I don't vibe with the whole simplicity argument personally. Its supposed to be thr spirit of ce but though some may love it the simplicity of ce was a decision based on the graphical limitations of the time hence the complete redisign of every aspect of it in halo 2. Halo is a fictional universe but not a fantasy universe its supposed to be grounded in possible science and our own future so whilst I'm happy they're not redesigning things for the sake of it I would very much like to see the graphics and detail pushed as far as they can (now still limited by the original xbox ones hardware unfortunately) to get as one step closer to a real world. But I understand aesthetic is opinion so i get why many people seek brightee more cartoont designs. Borderlands is far from realism and as such is one of my favourite art styles in all of gaming. And tbh from these screenshot I think its doing a good job of meeting my hopes so far. Certainly looks a hell of a lot better than before I think most people would agree.

When it comes to biomes, I'm pretty confident there will be more than just the initial Halo ring we see here. For a couple of reasons: It was originally stated that the cinematic with the Pilot waking Chief up was the start of the game. If that holds true then we should at least see a space/ship location right off the bat. I also think that the 2018 trailer showed off other biomes as well. I know this was just a tech demo but I think it's safe to say at least some other biomes from that trailer will show up. Jason Staten also said the game isn't open world. Meaning the space we see here will be big but the game will still have linear levels akin to other Halo games. Obviously this is just my speculation but I don't think they'd put us on the same part of the ring for the whole game.

[@ispgravy4233]

Even though I wasn't a fan of the story in halo five. I do hope it does continue. I think it would be a bigger insult to just sidestep it. Funny enough that was one of my main gripes of 343. Killing off the Didact and Covenant's new leader right off the bat after just introducing them. Didn't feel like there was any real threat. I think it would be best to try a more slow-burn approach.

[@alisontiger10]

Halo 5 was pretty disappointing, even I knowing that it wasn't even close to the other games, for me, they could have cut like 60% of the game and develop more stuff and better, just Chief missions and 3 or 5 of the end, including Arbiter arc where good, the rest was like, c'mon, give the main plot and stop pushing this team on me, I want to know what's up with Chief and Cortana like in Halo 4, Arbiter was a good surprise, although they fucked his design

If they can bring that idea into Infinite with the much larger open world we should be in for a treat. One of the best things about Halo CE was the unknown and exploring not knowing wtf is going on. If this is the halo ring i think it is from the forerunner trilogy then my god we're in for some amazing unknowns. Exploring will probably end up being the highlight of the game.

Thank you!

[@WheelieTron3000]

I'm so happy to be seeing a bit more of a swing back to that enigmatic magic-tech look of the forerunner installations on the ring, it's pretty clear to me they got lost along the way in trying to add more detail to forerunner tech as graphics got better and they explored things more but somewhere around halo 3 they started to lose sight of the fact that the monolithic, impenetrable and brutal style was what made it work in the first place, design wise it just makes it harder to distinguish forerunner tech from later covenant copying going the route they have since halo 4. Also I get that that explanation about the landscape was for the casual players but unfinished pillars of rocky substance dotting the environment almost seems self-explanatory if you're experienced with sci-fi at all, I may be discounting my previous knowledge but I don't know how you can't take one look at that and instantly get "oh, it's an artificial environment of some kind being built", and I think I prefer that look to say the end of halo 3 with the ring looking like a giant meccano set.

This is the thing that is bugging the hell out of me though, what with them really working on the graphics now. What the hell was the Slipspace Engine/Infinite reveal trailer for, then? It looked legitimately wonderful, years ago even. Did they use no assets from that trailer? It was allegedly 'in engine' footage, or was it all just purely CGI with no engine attached? Surely yet another big name company didn't lie to us with a fake trailer! /s

[@argo9721]

It was most likely JUST a demo for the engine and nothing else

[@RUSSELL_2.0]

they used halo 5 assets (vehicles and textures) and halo wars 2 marines (the ones rendered for cutscenes) to show what it is capable of running. they also used the halo 2 remastered chief for the trailer.

That 60 second audio file had just about everything narrative wise that H5 was missing in it's whole run. It's obvious previous Bungie devs specifically Staten's fingerprints are on this and I hope they do a really good job of tying this all together in the campaign without getting overwhelmed.

[@ronuss]

The extra year was 1000% the right chioce. Game looks soo much better now. Going for real time day / night and lighting will pay off with this extra time spent. The only issue i still have is the game being a live service. Please still give us a full fledged game we're use to with a complete story, and dont cutt it down to be given to us in chunks.

[@somebodyfixmyinternet]

"Just look at the detail on the sniper." Yeah, it looks nice, but it still looks a bit dated.

[@argo9721]

Actually the sniper is fine I think it’s just the lighting is not dark enough (which will probably be fixed when they add Ray tracing)

What worries me is why they haven't released footage? It doesn't need to be long just a few snippets.

[@xboxanaconda4983]

The older demo graphics is what the last gen consoles will look like in general as only the New Next Gen Xbox Series X/S & Pc is gonna look vastly superior with the Ray Tracing lighting etc as people shouldn't expect last gen Xbox to be improved as these improvements are really only possible with the Newest Consoles, and decent modern Pc ! The Game Should've been Next Gen only in My opinion as there's no reason to limit Microsoft's biggest Franchise Ever with last gen hardware, however as time goes on I'm sure they'll continue to improve more, and more on the Newer Consoles although i guess its cool the people who don't have a new Console can still get a playable version of the Game even though it's gonna be far less visually appealing, and lower framerates, etc ! Xbox Series X Will deliver 4k 60fps with Ray Tracing enabled for The Campaign along with 120fps option for the multiplayer as it's gonna Be Amazing nonetheless

[@inanimatemist8610]

Nah, battlefield has a lot better graphics than the halo demo and still runs at 60fps, those graphics looked bad for xbox one and ps4

[@SageSea1]

If the grunts and hunters don’t look and sound like halo 1/halo 2 variants, not buying.

[@VBenoodle]

I feel like they should have chapters for each faction assuming the next 2 imma say are gonna be in the game. Chapter 1 should be about the banished, zeta halo, and chief. Chapter 2 is about the flood and containing a flood outbreak. Chapter 3 is about the created and cortana.

[@gibgun]

They need to suck it up and drop previous gen support. Look at what keeping it did for Cyberpunk

[@hedged-valley1148]

I agree, but I wonder if they feel inclined to do it now because they’ve promised it for so long now.

[@pixelwolke7830]

If it comes to the thumbnail, I hope they used both designs, because I really like the left one too. Also there most likely will be biome diversity, which I'm hyped for, would be quite interesting if we got something to do with being underwater. And I really hope, they make it so the bullet indicator turns red whenever your ammo gets dangerously low, because I feel like it's not visible enough.

[@Mega-Brick]

The only regret I have is the spires, honestly. The lore fully-supports 343's designs and why they'd be present on Zeta Halo (but not the others) and I found it a very refreshing flavor-approach to a game's aesthetics. There's like, two paragraphs of lore now that gives both Bungie's and 343's Forerunner designs some great significance, and it made me very happy. I hope 343 aren't abandoning that for "wow, classic!"

[@erronblack308]

When this shit gonna die? “Halo: infinite” They got nothing else man. It came into existence solely to sell Xbox’s. That why they exist, which is true. It should go just like cod now. Can’t think of something original.
