This has to be one of the worst Halo reveals I have ever seen.
The graphics to put it bluntly are ugly. There appears to be many things that simply have low quality textures and simple low poly models. The phantom being the most obvious. The hexagonal structures all randomly scattered around look horrible and I don’t get where these have come from in terms of halo design. The style of many things like the brutes, fusion coils and just many objects all look bad, like who actually designed any of this and said yes this looks good. The weapon design is again very generic. The characters look like clay and I just can’t get over how after 5 years this looks like a total let down, even worse than Halo 5s art style. I showed this to my mate who doesn’t play Halo and he just laughed saying it looked horrendous. The amount of LOD popins in the trailer with stuff rendering also looks bad on a technical level.
My positives would be chief looks good again himself but that is it.
The gameplay looks horrible with sprint, grapple and slide being featured heavily. I like being able to grab things and throw them but the grappling hook is silly. The grapple looks like it has copied call of duty and doom directly which is totally uninspired. I won’t be buying this game as I can’t believe how bad it is.
Sorry you feel that way. I liked it. Better luck in 2025.
Yeah not too excited. I’m a bit of a Halo purist in that I’ve been into the series since Halo CE and I loved the first three and the Reach campaign very much. The 343 games just feel off. I was initially excited that they were going back to a Halo ring in Infinite but having seen it, it reminds me of… some weird mix between a LEGO game and Minecraft. Doesn’t that sound strange? I can’t quite put my finger on it but it feels sort of goofy in a way that doesn’t remind me of classic Halo. Oh well.
Not as you say
Actual seriesX runs at 4K, 60fps
HALO Infinite will be really amazing
The beauty of XBOX ONE X can be expected. I’m looking forward to it.
I want to meet Cortana and meet Atriox.
Wow I must really have watched the wrong video… I absolutely loved what I saw. I agree that sprint and clamber and any other enhanced mobility was disappointing to see. But I have to disagree on the grappling hook. I was very worried about how I’d feel about it, but after seeing it in action, I’m a fan.
As for graphics, I’ve said it in a few threads, but I’ll repeat here: I like that the graphics aren’t trying so hard to look realistic. I like that we are seeing something simpler and more–I really don’t want to say retro but I guess that word fits best–retro feeling. The community has been complaining about the art style 343 introduced for years, and now 343 is giving us the OG art style with their own twist, and I absolutely can respect that.
Remember also that this is a demo. There’s more work to be done. I’m not gonna beg of you to stick around and buy the game. But I am gonna recommend you wait until you see the finished product before announcing unequivocally that you aren’t going to buy the game.
