Here is a comparison of Halo Infinite environment textures (4K) versus Halo 3 environment textures (4K):
Found it while browsing Reddit. I actually like the Halo Infinite art style! But the environmental textures are poor quality. It’s not acceptable for a Xbox Series X 2020 game, to have any graphical aspects be worse than an Xbox 360 2007 game from two console generations ago.
I hope 343 can delay this game so they can improve the graphics. The E3 2018 and E3 2019 trailers showed that 343’s graphics developers are definitely competent, if they focus on making a later release native to the Xbox Series X and PC surely they could pull off graphics closer to that fidelity. They shouldn’t just make it an Xbox One port with the old hardware holding the Xbox Series X and PC versions back. If anything the old gen, Xbox One should be a downgrade of the Xbox Series X/PC version, at something like 720p at 60fps.
I hope 343 Industries can delay the game to make the Xbox Series X and PC versions have the graphics quality closer to the E3 2018 and E3 2019 trailers during gameplay. I wish them all the best!
