The quality of the graphics might change, but are the models going to change?? are the Doom eternal/Call of duty weapons going to change? Are the enhanced movement abilities out? I dont think so. Also the gameplay reveal video on youtube says this in the description:
Enjoy a first-look at Halo Infinite campaign gameplay, captured real-time and representative of the experience on Xbox Series X running at 60FPS and up to 4K resolution.

Gotta love how everyone gives excuses for the game looking underwhelming, when simultaniously other games look gorgeous at E3 or conferences we have seen. Yes builds for these presentations are older, but other companies have also achieved to wow me one way or another. Why are we trying to sugar-coat this?! A clear negative message only helps us getting the product we want… I seriously don’t understand the “everything is gonna be fine” attittude. We gotta fight for these things guys…

Maybe if they’d said that it was played on a One X, and that this is a much older build, due to limitations during a pandemic, before the reveal, it’d be a lot better. But they didn’t. I’m learning about it hours later on Halo’s own forums, so I don’t know how non-hardcore Halo fans are going to find out.

Xbox should have pulled out all the stops to make this game look its best, regardless of the circumstances, because now nobody thinks it’s worth buying the new console if this is what the prime item looks like about four months before release. It’s worth noting that this was an exclusive Xbox event too, so they chose the date. Should have set it later if Infinite wasn’t ready to be shown.

> again most people will know its a pandemic. show me a lunxh ps5 game that looked good n next gen…spider showrd no gameplay…plus its the same engine as the ps4 game. rachet, thats not lunching( in my opinon the best looking) gt racing had pop in. souls a remaster n i didnt see a hud so not gameplay. be smart n understanding. its a open world shooter…a new engine all while in a pandemic with 4 months gone n work from home. chill. the gameplay was awesome

I do understand, but you need to be smart and realise that most people won’t think about that. Just go online and look at people discussing how bad it looked. You’re relying on people having common sense, which they clearly don’t have in the UK and US, as has been demonstrated during this pandemic. I’ve been saying what they should of done for the benefit of those that wouldn’t consider the pandemic, not what they should have done for those that recognise the situation.

I disagree about the gameplay being awesome, but that’s another point of discussion.

> It was apparently run on a pc so what would the point be?

I’ve no idea what it was run on. I’ve heard it was run on a One X, on a Series X, and now, on a PC. Regardless, the point still stands: you shouldn’t show your game from a build made about a year before launch, when there’s only about four months before launch left, without any acknowledgement of why there isn’t a better build to show.

65

Tweet has gone.

Anyone care to explain the thought process to me behind playing a 6 month old demo when they are giving us a first look at Halo for the next generation on the next generation Xbox console?

Why the eff would they give us a demo that looked completely at home in E3 2010?!It’s beyond me that 343 saw that demo and thought ‘Yeah that looks good, lets launch the new Halo with this showcase’. What were they thinking the reaction would be?!

66

Wow,now we have to research when was this presentation made🤦‍♂️The game is in development almost 5 years already,they were supposed to have E3 2020 presentation in july.
They got 1 more month to make this presentation and the game is coming out in few months.So this should have been better imo.

The H5G demo wasn’t made during a global pandemic and 343i wasn’t forced to work from home back then.
That’s not an excuse, that’s a matter of fact.

And if you’re done with Halo, please stay to true to your word and leave the Halo forum and take your negativity with you.
This is not a place for venting or ranting, it’s a place for constructive debates.
Saying a game is dead judging this by a half a year old demo-build is not constructive in any way, period.

Did you really just blame the pandemic for how -Yoink- this reveal was? This is a flag ship title. The console seller . The reason to own the series x. I defended 343 all the way up until this point but they showed me they can’t be trusted. Grappling hooks don’t belong in halo. The thrusters from halo 5 came from the thrusters in the books that came out before halo ce. Where did the grappling hook come from?

It’s dead because they made clear choices on what they want this game to be and it’s not halo . The pandemic started in 2019. Your telling me those 3 -4 years they had produced this type of garbage? Stop defending this

Yup, I do, because if you haven’t noticed yet, but people still are working from home.
Events are still being cancelled. This isn’t a cough going around.
People had to adapt. Microsoft had to adapt. 343i had to adapt.
That’s not even an excuse, it is a matter of fact.
It seems you are simply being ignorant to this fact.
This is your fault, not 343i’s fault.
Flag ship title or not, console seller or not. Neither 343i nor Microsoft
will risk the health of their employees just to satisfy your needs and wants.
Talking about needs and wants: what Halo does or does not need is not your call, period.
I, as are others, are very satisfied with what wee saw yesterday.
And I, as are others, will gladly play a very alive game in a few months.
If you will not, fine by me.
If you say Halo’s dead, also fine by me.
But don’t be a hypocrite hanging around a forum for a franchise
you don’t care about anymore just to vent and rant, babbling non-sense and spreading negativity.
You won’t convince anyone with such an attitude

THERES A GRAPPLING HOOK IN HALO. If that doesn’t scream to you that this isn’t halo idk what does. Again they had 3 to 4 years BEFORE THE PANDEMIC STARTED so I don’t want to hear anything about oh they had to adapt. It’s a video game. Not a supermarket. Working from home on a video game doesn’t stop it from being made. In a supermarket however you have to stick items
Take inventory.
You have to pyshcially be there. Where as a game can be coded online.
Idk about you but that’s a weak argument . There’s games that look better right now that took less time to make and was made during the pandemic and they still look better than this.
Again. Stop fanboying. Stop defending this

Yeah, it will have a grappling hook. So what?
Doom never had grappling hooks either, yet it worked like a charme in Doom Eternal.
I still haven’t played Infinite, neither do you, so your simply ranting because it is an addition you don’t like,
since you obviously didn’t had the chance to play it and try it out to make an objective statement about it.
Yet, how do you come to the conclusion, that YOU do know what’s best for Halo and what’s not?
Please explain to me, why your opinion is more worth than mine or others, if not, stop responding me.
If you are not able to provide objective arguments, you’re simply repeating yourself.

If you think that’s weak argument that protecting the health and lives of employees
has a higher priority than working on a game, you just admit indirectly that you’re an ignorant,
because it is not.

Again, stop hating. Stop spreading negativity.
And please leave if you’re done with Halo like you said, no one cares for toxic attitude.

Wasn’t the whole purpose of this event to showcase the Series X?

Whoever made that decision made the wrong one. Why on Earth would you not show the best version? And, this game is 5 years in the making and is going to be finished in the next 3-4 months, they must have had SOMETHING they could have shown on Series X.

If what you’re saying is true it’s just baffling.

THIS IS NOT AN OPINION . GRAPPLE HOOKS ARE NOT HALO. END OF STORY. THIS ISNT ABOUT HATE. THIS IS STRAIGHT UP IN YOUR FACE NOT HALO.

It’s akin submitting an early draft to be marked, rather than a later one that is closer to the final essay, even when that later draft exists.

> I’ve no idea what it was run on. I’ve heard it was run on a One X, on a Series X, and now, on a PC. Regardless, the point still stands: you shouldn’t show your game from a build made about a year before launch, when there’s only about four months before launch left, without any acknowledgement of why there isn’t a better build to show.

I know this is a Halo forum, but this is what worries me. You have a flagship, brand new, super high powered console coming out in four months and you aren’t using it to run your flagship game?
That makes me worry about the state of the console…

If there were other better quality examples of the engine they would have posted them in the write up with the demo to show off the difference in the capabilities of the SX and PC as opposed to the One. Increased graphical quality would help push the GamePass sales for PC and SX pre orders.

First impressions are important, but second impressions are arguably just as vital, as they can be the true make-or-break. Hopefully the next we see of the game looks better than this demo.

I’m deff hoping that there will be a lot more to come out and something that hooks me, I just kinda get this sense that things are being rushed. I wouldn’t mind if they pushed both the console and game release a year, and cut the One from the lineup.

> it has nothing to do with the one…come on man. u think the one made the series x have pop in lol. its as simple as in a pandemic its hard to make a game. when u studio is shut down. its that simple. it was notging there that was held back other tgen not having the time to polish thats it.

What are you even trying to say? That’s a terrible response to my point. The game will be limited in terms of potential because it will be playable across 3 different platforms( One,XSX,PC) and 2 generations (One/ XSX). This is the same thing with Destiny, and every cross gen game, as all are limited by the oldest platform that it is released on. I’m sure that there are plenty of great things that got cut in order for the game to play on the One that they wanted in and could given time. Also how is stating that delaying the game and console for more time to work on it, not taking into account the difficulties of creating something during a pandemic?

If you’re going to bring up the pandemic and use that as an excuse for what we saw, I will bring up that they are also planning on raising the price of games, the removal of the year pass, the pushing of the Game Pass and a new console during historic unemployment numbers in their major markets. Even from a sales standpoint it’s a poor time to push a new console, and if you are, you better make sure the titles aren’t underwhelming and show off the power difference to justify the added costs.

Let’s also not forget that Microsoft has been running all sorts of commercials about how they are the “best at keeping people connected” “The Cloud” and “all the amazing things that can be done with Microsoft to overcome the problems of the pandemic with Microsoft.” So this whole “no one knows the problems of the pandemic” stuff is pretty lame. Everyone knows the problems of it, even if it’s just a small problem they’re facing.

> Gotta love how everyone gives excuses for the game looking underwhelming, when simultaniously other games look gorgeous at E3 or conferences we have seen. Yes builds for these presentations are older, but other companies have also achieved to wow me one way or another. Why are we trying to sugar-coat this?! A clear negative message only helps us getting the product we want… I seriously don’t understand the “everything is gonna be fine” attittude. We gotta fight for these things guys…

It’s just damage control and the usual fanyboy mentality. I’m just skeptically waiting till we see more.

Older build or not, i don`t this is going to get better with only 4 months of work.

This thread should be locked as this has been proven to be false information in a follow-up tweet.

Master Chief weights a ton or half a ton so a grappling hook does not make sense canonically or mechanically wise. This is the same reason why Spartans cant swim in-game … they weight so much its impossible for them to swim.

The grappling hook is 343i’s attempt to once again copy other games without paying attention to it’s own game and franchise.

Halo is the big flagship game launching on Series X this year and was promoted everyday leading up to the showcase… why show off a 6 month old build? Did everyone internally just think that it looked great or something? I understand the pandemic has thrown everything out of whack but… cmon
