So I saw this video, it’s called " I made Halo Infinite UI more Halo-y"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twJVgOf1T74
Zenkai Goose (a fellow Canadian I might add ) just remade Halo Infinite UI in less then 24 hours and holy crap is it amazing!! Just imagine what he could do with more time. It is light years ahead of 343I UI (sorry people, but it’s true) Not to be… whatever here…but it’s pretty sad that someone can make a better UI in less then 24 hours then 343I did in…how ever many years!!!
This is the kind of stuff that needs to happen. Pay attention here 343I!! People need to get behind this!! Just imagine if this happen and 343I fixed there net code (no more desync or terrible ping!!) …Halo Infinite would be a complete different game!
Check the video out, it’s less then 10mins, not long. Enjoy and dream!
Yes! I saw it on mint blitzs new YT video and its incredible! I bet halo Infinites whole team spent months making the menu when we could have this one! maybe with a few more hours of making sure that there are no bugs, I could totally see this being HIs new main menu!
I like the features his mock up added, but I’ll be honest, I think that visually that UI looks awful. It looks so bland and mobile game-y. Feel like a lot more could be done to make it look thematically Halo.
How did post the link like that? Every time I tried to do it it told me I couldn’t post YouTube links. So ridiculous.
Edit I just copied what you put up and changed it on my opening post and seems to work fine. I don’t know why I couldn’t get it to work before. I much like the old Halo waypoint setup and how you post links. I just can’t seem to do it on this one at all.
I hear what you’re saying, but remember, this was done in less then 24 hours! Just imagine what this or what something like this would look like with polish!
I honestly couldn’t tell you. These forums are… very confusing at times. They also are very annoying with some of the things they do too. All I did was copy and pasted the link.
Kind of wish they just used a simpler forum set up honestly.
Well the whole idea was to change/improve functionality, not about the art direction, but you can always adjust the graphics to give them nore gritty, mature, serious look, similar to Reach preferably. But you have to say, that Halo ring in the main menu does look much, much better and atmospheric than those mountains and trees Infinite has, makes you feel like some deer hunter simulator or something.
It’s… alright. Like there are definitely better parts, but I dooooooo like the thin white borders. What I like is the UX of this one though. Grids are ALWAYS better than horizontal lists.
It’s not fun to go through your armor gallery, which is a serious issue in and of itself. If you have two columns instead of one, you can utterly halve scrolling time. Which will only get longer and longer as time goes on.
I’m liking some of his ideas but we need to see something that is original and newly designed that’s accessible and informative and efficient i.e. I like to see the map at the beginning of the match like its used to be maybe something much more in detail also like the fact that you can see everyone’s states and know who they are so you can prepare your setup etc. some great point being made in his you tube video what i also would really like to see is who is assisting me and who i took out the most these stats are so desired by many and used to be fun to see your names everywhere and knowing who assisted you is so important because this is the way to build your team around the stats and facts.
Remember everyone, this was done in less than 24 hours. It’s not so much how everything looks per say, that kind of stuff can be changed with more time and polish. It’s more the accessibility of things, the configuration, the simplicity (like the way you choose your armor) basic things like how your service record is in now (a staple in the halo franchise that people have loved for years! And the fact that something simple like that isn’t in is pretty disappointing…) And stuff like this.
If this guy can do this in 24 hours, imagine what 343I could do with all their people and resources If they put a little bit more thought into it and listen to their community a little more.
It’s actually not surprising. UI/UX is not a new world, there are many great designers out there. You get what you pay for… and I always said that 343 a) didn’t put much time and effort in it and b) gave the job to people who were not up to the task or simple didn’t care and are not passionate about their job. Because even design/UI/UX students wouldn’t be satisfied with such a result.
Plus, weren’t there rumor the engine/setup couldn’t handle something better?
I get what you’re trying to showcase. But these days, games are trying to implicate more content than detail. In fact, I feel like that’s what many companies are doing these days actually. Take Modern Warfare 2 for example. MW2 has drastically more content than Infinite does but their UI is literally just… squares… It wasn’t like Black Ops 2 where the UI was a holocom on an arm.
Thoug the UI in Infinite does suck, its just to save extra work and make things easier to direct, while also probably for compatibility reasons as well. Kind of why MCC UI is also so compact the same way, just with a better background.
And to be honest, the UI he’s showing there looks just like Valorant’s UI with Destiny’s customization etc.
About the current UI, honestly I think they should just make the current UI less vertical, Reorganize some menus (like having the Custom Game Browser in the Play tab)
There should be a simpler way to leave Custom Games to, having to go on the Social menu and leaving the Fireteam by selecting the option on your player is really, really unintuitive and bad design.
The main menu doesn’t have all the menu “entries”, to leave the game you have to hit start or escape on the main menu itself, to change settings too, why all those “options” aren’t in the main menu itself like any other game.
I saw this on mintz blitz yt! With only a tiny bit of tweaking this would be SO MUCH BETTER. I also would like to see them make the menu WAY MORE OPTIMIZED. Idk what it is like on xbox but on pc, the menu takes more of a toll on my GPU + CPU than an actual game does lmao.
