Will Halo 5's graphics be as good as CGI?

Seeing as Halo 5 will be on the powerful Xbox One,
will the in game graphics look as good as Halo Wars pre rendered CGI Cutscnes, or Spartan Ops pre rendered CGI cutscenes, or the Halo 3 pre rendered CGI commercial, or the pre rendered CGI Halo 4 reveal trailer, or the Halo Xbox One pre rendered CGI reveal trailer?

Halo 4’s first and last cutscene used pre rendered CGI for the cutscenes,
but seeing as Halo 5’s in game graphics should be as good as pre rendered CGI,
it won’t be necessary to use pre rendered CGI anymore, and the in game cutscenes will look as good as the pre rendered CGI footage from previous Halos. Am I right?

Next generation consoles are still behind in technology compared to current generation PC’s. And current generation PC’s still are unable to achieve that quality of graphics.

Some PCs and PC games do have that level of graphics, but you have to have a monolith computer with the newest and most pricey of hardware to get that level.

But Consoles (Excluding Steam Box), they’re most likely not going to be that level of power until another generation or two.

They’re basically building mid/cheap level PCs, and selling them for under $1000, which by the time they’re released, the Mid/cheap level PCs can run circles around the consoles, and then when they’re replaced with the “newer” generation of consoles, the console is like the old dog on it’s death bed.

Now if the next generation of Consoles go the way of the Steam Box, where you can freely replace parts in the console with newer off the shelf hardware, we might see a time where PCs and Consoles are on the same level as each other. And we already see that happening with PS4 and it’s ability to take a SATA Laptop drive.

They really don’t. My brother is a huge PC enthusiast and runs almost all of his games on ultra. They simply do not achieve the visuals of pre rendered CGI.

Visually stunning, yes. On the level of pre rendered CGI? Not yet.

Funny you should mention that, because I have a game studio that’s creating a Halo game in the Cryengine.

It has a chance, look at what Ryse is doing for a launch title that shouldve been a kinect game for 360. This game is made from the ground up to be for the Xbox one. Another thing to look at is look at what Perfect Dark Zero looked like and compare it to Gears of War, a huge difference and we might have that same difference once 343i can start taking advantage of what the One has to offer.

I don’t know if it’s just me but I think Halo 4 looks absolutely incredible. If Halo 5 looks anything better than Halo 4(which it should) I think it’ll be very close to CGI quality. On a side note, I’m not really worried about the graphics, I’m more worried about the gameplay.

Not as good as CGI but it will still look great, even to this day when I play Halo 4 I still think it looks amazing especially considering the fact that its on the 360’s hardware from 2005. Halo 5 will look awesome.

At the end of Halo 4, we see an in game cutscene (With chief and Cortana in outerspace surrounded by a hardlight box.) and then we see a CGI cutscene of Chief floating in space. The model of chief in both look very similar, I feel like console technology is almost there.

well Halo X1 should look as good as Forza 5 and Ryse at least, if not better than those two would be great, but the important thing would be making Halo X1 look so good that Killzone Shadow Fall looks as bad as Killzone on the PS2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIpt4FRFy10 Look at this video right here, the first 20 seconds is definitely near cgi,also look near the 1:13 mark and look at how detailed those bricks are. If Halo 5 can look even better than this, which it should because 343i has more devs than crytek and they should be more used to the hardware, than OMG I cant even imagine anything looking better.

not a chance. only way it would look like cgi is, if it were a role playing point and click game.ps3s Rain type of game.

the next gen consoles have the same specs as a laptop i bought in 2010/11 for 800euro to play battlefield3.

halo4 looked good enough for a halo game. it had the look but not the filling.

I thought that cutscene was CGI.

I feel like they’ll be on par with the in-engine cutscenes, not the CGI ones but the. Given the better lighting, shading, and polycount it seems like a reasonable jump vs the CGI cutscenes.

Near CGI? While Ryse looks alright it is NOWHERE NEAR CGI levels in the slightest.

Maybe it will be as good as CGI from 2005?

Not a chance, it will definietly look good though probably will be the best looking Xbox One game when it comes out.

Nope. While we’ll probably get games that look as good as the current pre-rendered cutscenes, it won’t be in 2015, and I’d be very surprised if it was in this console generation at all. By the time that happens though, the pre-rendered cinematics will look even better. They’re never going to look the same. The fact of the matter is you can do far more in a pre-rendered environment than you can in real time, and that will always be true.

I think you’re overestimating the power of the Xbone.

The Xbox One isn’t the most powerful current gen console, The PS4 is.

The PS4 doesn’t even hold a candle up to top of the range gaming PC’s.

And not even top of the line gaming PC’s could pump out constant pre-rendered quality graphics at 60fps.

We are no where near it.
