How is it troll bait? He is asking if people think the way the new engine looks so far is overrated.

Thank you,just wanna hear different opinions on what people think.

This has been a long time coming. I wouldn’t say it’s overrated at all, I would say it’s overdue, and I can’t wait to see what surprises they throw towards us.

The Halo Infinite engine demo was not to make us think it looked better or worse than Halo 5 imo. I believe it was to show us what it could do. How the water looked, the dust cloud and movement in and around the tent as the warthog drove by, the scale of what could be achieved, the shading, fire effects and so on.

There is also the hints, fight for her written in the tent like the posters in ODST, the older armour, possible underwater exploration, the morse code, the rune like lettering on the cave wall etc.

Your friend saw nothing if he merely compared it to the look of Halo 5. That’s just my opinion.

No this new engine is super good. It does have a Halo CE vibe but that isn’t bad at all. It’s more Nostalgic than anything. Anyone who thinks it looked worse than any Halo before obviously needs glasses. Lol

Maybe he meant the art style? There’s no way that demo’s actual graphics looks worse than H5.

Yeah i think that and it just wasn’t shown much actionšŸ˜†

The engine looked more advanced than anything we have had before in halo, so yes its a big deal.

A new engine, properly new engine;

-License money: They don’t have to pay license money to anyone, maybe they didn’t have to before, but now they certainly do not have to pay any license money anywhere.
Furthermore, with their own engine they can sell licenses to others for use.
Few probably remember, but there was a Zombie game made for the Xbox Original using the Halo CE engine.

i343 could potentially go do what’s done with Unity, UE4, Source Engine and so forth, with their Slipspace engine. Allow others to use it as long as they pay i343 if the game made, or app, generates money.

They can also easier optimise the engine for what they want to do with the game if they have an in-house engine, atleast somewhat easier than to strip up any of the other engines’ source code and start ripping that apart.

Tell your friend that gameplay >>>>>> graphics.
There are tons of games that prove this, just look at minecraft.

The engine demo was just a quick demo and probably not even finished.

What was it called?

Edit: Found it. It’s called ā€œStubbs the Zombieā€.

Right now, the engine is showcasing its capabilities to us graphically. I’ll wait for gameplay footage & other demos of the game to write my full verdict.

Can you list the specific things that looked worse to you? Maybe show compare images to make your point? Just make a statement without specific content is not helping, showing the specific stuff can help devs to make the engine better.

worse than h5? lmao, the engine looks next gen to me

Don’t expect too much,that way you won’t be disappointed if it’s not what you hoped for,a monitor here said to me once.A good advise.

We have not seen gameplay yet,the graphics looks nice to me.
