Big Halo fan here (until 343 took over), super not hyped by what I see :/
The engine... the visuals... nothing crazy...

I mean passed the nostalgia effect... :/

Still felt really like the first one, that part is cool

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

Damn forza looks good.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Graphics didn't bother me, but the tempo of gameplay is what stood out as concerning. Appears to be leaning very heavily into the open world aspect, but I have misgivings about being able to keep a steady flow of action with such a setup.

Not convinced I'll buy it Day 1, but eventually I expect to.

 

[jigglet]

I'm happy with what I saw, although I'd happily trade 4k with 1440p and a 120fps option. Give me 120fps and I don't give a shit if it looks like a current gen title.

 

[kretos]

True next gen is here boys

 

[Psykodad]

You can't. There's no Horizon 2 gameplay.

You really believe gameplay will be drastically different?

Halo is massively underwhelming, even I feel bad for Xbox fans.

 

[Matsuchezz]

hehehehe they are pure talk all the time, you Xbox Fans were right not to ride the Hype Train, it would have been a big mistake.

 

[Kerotan]

Looks generic, and current gen, no better than destiny.

I was expecting something revolutionary, even if this released today as a current gen tittle, it wouldnt stand out, let alone as a next gen big franchise.

Destiny looks way better and why wouldn't it. The team that made Halo great now makes Destiny.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

as disappointing as Halo was....

still gonna get an Xbox over PS5 lol. says a lot when MS can release a half assed game like Halo and Sony still can't compare

 

[Andodalf]

True next gen is here boys

I know, Actual gameplay instead of a teaser trailer! Some people just like trailers I guess.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

here we go with the SJW pandering

 

[JasonVA]

Cheesy dialog, an fps youve played a thousand times before, and last gen graphics, do developers not care anymore

 

[HE1NZ]

It's Sony after all. They always promoting with CGI and target renders.

 

[iorek21]

Did anyone really expect this to be revolutionary?

 

[LordOfChaos]

I need to see what agent Locke is up to

 

[Rikkori]

Hyped for SoD 3 & Forza looked great.

 

[kretos]

I know, Actual gameplay instead of a teaser trailer! Some people just like trailers I guess.

 

[Gediminas]

halo infinite looks shit.
state of decay 3, teaser
forza short trailer, nothing to see actually, except more talk.
everwild looks... yeah, okey.
Tell me why looks also low budget, gamepass filler.

 

[Aion002]

Looks Halo in a open world setting and it appears that One really will hold SX back.

 

[Musky_Cheese]

Damn. It looked like Halo 5 with a grappling hook.

Waiting to see more... again

 

[SpiceRacz]

Not a huge Halo or Xbox fan, but the idea of Halo with an open map sounds really cool.

 

[Psykodad]

It's Sony after all. They always promoting with CGI and target renders.

You say that after the Forza in-engine trailer?

You clearly haven't played HZD. There isn't much difference between cutscenes and gameplay. In fact, cutscenes run in realtime using ingame assets.

Anyway, back to Halo.
It looks underwhelming,. Foliage is really bad, especially after TLOU2 and GOT.
Animations are mediocre. I think there was also pop-up on the mountains in the background when they went up the elevator.

 

[massivekettle]

Halo's gunplay/gameplay looked fun. Not the world beater graphics-wise, but there probably was a trade-off with the open world mechanics.

 

[MayauMiao]

halo infinite looks shit.

Nothing I've seen so far screams next gen graphics. Tell Me Why look like it was running on current gen, ridiculous.

 

[KormaChameleon]

Classic Halo meets Doom Eternal gameplay. I dig it. Covenant and Brutes the main enemies, no sponging Prometheans? Count me in! Visuals could do with a clean up as some textures do look flat but very colourful!

 

[Mokus]

Did anyone really expect this to be revolutionary?

It was expected to be at least decent...

 

[unknownphysicz]

i love the gameplay but dont like the way it still looks like halo 5 :/

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

Looks like the SDF short bus had an accident and all passengers are in the wild at full force today.

 

[insanexer]

There was nothing at all that screamed Next-Gen about that Halo Demo. It looked bad and I was really hoping for a resurgence from Xbox.

 

[halfHedge]

Looks fun. Is it really all about the visuals for people these days?

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

man they really just went and killed any excitement i had for the Xbox

 

[Codes 208]

Halo wars 2 has better graphics

 

[Demon2blades]

as disappointing as Halo was....

still gonna get an Xbox over PS5 lol. says a lot when MS can release a half assed game like Halo and Sony still can't compare

Compare with what ?

 

[Forsythia]

The visuals can definitely use an upgrade, but I like the rest. It's more Halo, that's all I wanted. And I'm glad I didn't see any Promethean.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

Compare with what ?

Xbox still has more exclusives that interest me than PS5.

 

[Dodkrake]

How I love being right. I said it many times, Halo 5 will be held back by the Xbox One. "No, its developed for the XSX and will be downscaled". Well, there you go, a game that doesn't look that far removed from Killzone Shadows Fall. Oh, and the texture pop in with the super duper quantum SSD was just beautiful to see.

 

[Greeno]

Insiders are truly shitty to say this had "holy shit" kind of visuals. I expected next-gen graphics. What I've seen looks like Destiny's graphics.

 

[GoDs DeMoNaToR]

There is a code in the beginning of the clip...but it doesn't work. 25 digits. Right before the attached video appears....hmm

 

[Dodkrake]

Also!

PS5 presentation - In engine on the PS5
Xbox Presentation - In engine (no mention of the supremo series X)

 

[Codes 208]

Graphics aside HI could pull off some crazy shit with being able to pick up things like fusion coils and the grapplehook

 

[Demon2blades]

Xbox still has more exclusives that interest me than PS5.

Great stuff enjoy them ... Don't be such a fanboy

 

[Hayriko]

I'm sold. My pc is ready

 

[Deleted member 775630]

Halo looked amazing, super smooth and visually beautiful.

 

[GoDs DeMoNaToR]

There is a code in the beginning of the clip...but it doesn't work. 25 digits. Right before the attached video appears....hmm

ehh...was already redeemed.

 

[LordOfChaos]

I'm kinda curious that they haven't shown anything about the Created plot from Guardians yet? Left on a pretty big cliffhanger, surely the main baddie won't jump around three installments in a row, right? Maybe the Banished are just a sideplot for part of it.

 

[Moses85]

Disappointing as fuck.
Was this based on Xbox One X Hardware?

Really, this was and is weak.

 

[Dodkrake]

Let me just line up the excuses here, just in case we all forget them:

- This was not developed for the Series X
- It runs at 60fps so it's all grand
- That's not texture pop in
- The stream was very poor quality, they forgot to enable the Series X preset
- The dolphin game runs at double the framerate on the Series X

Thank me later.

 

[Eliciel]

I'm sold. My pc is ready

yes, exactly this. I am going to play on PC, it's okay, but the REAL hype is gone at the moment..

 

[Denton]

I liked it. It looked like Halo. I liked Halo.

 

[MayauMiao]

Destiny 2 coming to XSeX and looks better than HI.
