Make the Graphics Look Better!

Playing on Xbox Series X, LG 4k oled. This is a Xbox exclusive, we have the next gen Xbox consoles out, why does it look like Xbox One game? It should look better than Gears 5, Black Ops Cold War, and Destiny 2 but it doesn’t. The gun details look pretty good but the environments are not impressive for a next gen game. We should be blown away by the graphics like from Halo 3 to Halo 4.

This is a special test the game is like 3 months further than what we are playing right now im sure its being smoothed out.

CITATION NEEDED

In all seriousness, this is not how a game studio works. And the fact you somehow think it does is concerning.

“John the Gameplay designer” is NOT designing coatings on payroll.
The lead Network programmer is NOT designing coatings on payroll.
The environment artist is NOT designing coatings on payroll.
The QA team is NOT designing coatings on payroll.
The AI programmer is Not designing coatings on payroll.
The Engine Programmer is NOT designing coatings on payroll.

The Texture artists are creating materials for coatings etc on payroll
The Concept artists are designing coatings etc on payroll
The 3D art team are creating aesthetics etc on payroll

Guess which team members are responsible for tracking bugs, optimising the game, and fixing issues?
NOT THE ART TEAM

P.S. to the environment art team: You’re doing a great job, keep it up the game looks pretty amazing. It remains within the Halo art stylings and looks like the correct direction Halo should be going in visually.

What are you a politician?
Any more buzzwords?
You forgot to say “I’m a huge halo fan for 15 years” and “Iconic”

The game LOOK Great, runs poor. There are other developers doing a better job at making optimisation, there are also other developers that are not. What’s your point? Snap of the ole fingers and everything is fine again? How about you go ahead and put your CV up and fix it for them.

The words you said were already meaningless and you just undermined your own point with this post.

  • Gears 5 is two years old and has plenty of optimisation. under its wings. - Gears 5 doesn’t even remotely use the same approach to graphics. - Gears 5 benchmarks actually show Ultra Graphics settings performance WORSE than the Current Halo Infinite Performance, a game which isn’t even out yet. Which empirically debunks what you said.Seriously, are you guys trolling?

“I like gears of war visually more than Halo”
Okay. I don’t care.
“Halo performance is not as good as an older game already out and way beyond its release date”
Okay, it needs to be improved. But the comparison is invalid.

Arguing on a Halo forum about an unreleased game? Complaining about graphics and bugs in a test version? Come on gentlemen, let’s keep it classy.

I’m also old enough to have played every Halo game as they have been released. I’ve had fun with every game, from CE to H5. Each had things I liked, and things I don’t. That IS how life works. I too get it, you can’t please everyone all the time.

But over the decades I’ve been in and out of professions and currently actually work in a Game studio, I’ve witnessed first hand how games are handled, and how GOOD and BAD decisions are made( it’s very frustrating when decisions are made by people who just are not experienced or qualified to make them, but that is a universal experience). I also know what contributes to performance issues, and how they are often prioritised (Which believe it or not, is the first thing they tend to look at. AND funny enough while writing this they PATCHED IT and its running way better for me on pc, not perfect but the stutters seem gone.). In a AAA game studio deadlines are often paramount as they are set by the ones fronting the money, not the people fixing the bugs or creating the content. All I’m saying is you’re drawing unfair parallels with a game that wasn’t adherent on he same set of rules as your current experience with infinite, has a completely different pipeline to Infinite. The games performance is not good on PC. I don’t know about xbox but I’ve seen it look fine?

as for the aesthetic side, I’m sorry but I just disagree. you’re entitled to your opinion, but I think Halo has literally never looked better.

> Keep telling yourself that. But I remember playing a test for Halo 5 one full year before release. It still released with numerous problems, and missing many feature expected in a Halo game. Not to mention, Halo Infinite would have released 8 months ago, if it wasn’t for the community response on how bad it looked. Just imagine what state it would have been then.

Aren’t most first technical “flights” betas etc mainly to test pipelines and server loads? I’d put money on the fact that this is at least an 8 month old build and has very few bells and whistles on it… But who knows?

As Cliche as it is, that’s fine. Take care of yourself out there. Sorry if I came off aggressive, wasn’t my intention.

> Playing on Xbox Series X, LG 4k oled. This is a Xbox exclusive, we have the next gen Xbox consoles out, why does it look like Xbox One game? It should look better than Gears 5, Black Ops Cold War, and Destiny 2 but it doesn’t. The gun details look pretty good but the environments are not impressive for a next gen game. We should be blown away by the graphics like from Halo 3 to Halo 4.

Playing on an Xbox Series X with a 4K120hz LG OLED TV proved to be a good experience. Did you switch to Quality or Performance preset? I used Quality for a while, and the experience was great; switching the Performance clearly reduced the visual fidelity but really resulted in a better experience.

I also had the privilege to play on a reasonably high-end PC and note even higher visual quality there.

I’m quite happy with the result, noting that this build is two months behind the current one.

I have a similar TV, 77" CX. I’m playing on quality, the performance is excellent for me, I’m just not impressed by the graphics. This is an old build, I’ll wait for newer builds to see if the graphics improve.

Damn it’s almost like this is a Flight, to test things out, they likely have the graphics locked to a “Sweet spot” where most if not all people can play despite the varying systems and graphic cards, most if not all betas and tests have it like this. I think it will look infinitely (ha) better upon release.

The worst? Did you forget what a cluster MCC at release is? at least you can get into a game. Your complaint seems to be that this flight isnt the most recent build with 4k 60 fps options.

What? The game looks amazing and I’m playing on the Series S. You must be trolling.

it should look like im in it the game

Fair call - I’m not sure we will see too much more in the way of fidelity given the art direction.

When paying close attention; the level of detail is outstanding. Gloves, weapons, etc - but if you’re excepting something more - you might not want to hold your breath

I’ve been playing it on an Xbox Series S and I have no problem with how the game looks.

Not saying it doesn’t look good, I’m saying it doesn’t look next gen especially for a Xbox exclusive I was expecting a bigger graphical leap, Halo 3 to Halo 4 leap.

They should work on optimization first. The multiplayer is f2p and if they want to make money off of it then they need to focus on that.
