Infinite is an open world game and is targeting 60fps on all platforms, and it’s a cross-gen title built with the Xbox One in mind. That’s it. That’s why a $500m game that’s been 5 years in the making looks worse than most AAA titles released in the last 5 years.
I was initially disappointed with the cross gen announcement because I knew that a 1.3 TF machine would inevitably hold back the 12 TF Series X. Unfortunately, it looks like that is exactly what has happened. I cannot think of any other reason why the game looks so bad so close to launch.
I can’t see this game making some miraculous turnaround in 4 months. It needs to be delayed. I honestly believe they should have built this game exclusively for the Series X and not handicapped it with an Xbox One release. Please, 343i, release some footage in the next month that proves me wrong!
Should Infinite be delayed? Should it have been designed for the Series X alone?

I believe it should be for series x and maybe even pc but not the one x. Microsoft is being consumer friendly by having it on all platforms which is a good thing and I give them props. However the cost of this is games will have to be held back to be able to preform on the lower tier hardware.
I am sure by launch the game will look considerably better. That aside , I have always told my friends that xbone would hold series x back and that is definitely the case. However, I expected that since 343 has already developed 2 games on the xbone that they should know all the tricks to make Halo Infinite look better than H5. Of course the new style will make it more difficult to compare but damn I was hoping to be blown away. The Series X demo should have been impressive showcase to show the power of the new console. But halo clearly isn’t going for being the prettiest game. So we can only expect them to make it play well since they had five years. Even with the new trailer showing the newest graphics, I am not that impressed. I would say delay because if they had to take out xbone support they would still have to delay the game to push the graphics harder.

Yeah it sucks, they should have at least chosen this halo title as one that isn’t on older gens, especially since they want this halo specifically to last 10 years?!!
The divide about sprint/climb/aiming down the sites can’t be easy to compensate for either. Unless they did game modes for both and maps for both they’ll trigger one section of the fans. also attempting to appease the old fans and bring in new ones a lot is riding on this game. I wish/hope they take the time necessary to perfect this halo.
I’m pretty sure it was confirmed that its an old demo, and does in fact look better. (cant find source but will try to find)
