please point out where I was wrong

Everything you wrote is either wrong or massively played down as being "minor". There is nothing minor about the improvement from last year to this, you claiming only minor improvements signals this as a troll post.

 

[martino]

It's hard to say no because i see lot things to like this time but trailer was clear it's sequel of 5 and there is still no 5 on pc

 

[yazenov]

The game looks stunning lol.
Hope the post was worth it.

Disagree. Perhaps your attachment to the series clouds your judgment.

 

[Stuart360]

Disagree. Perhaps your attachment to the series clouds your judgment.

Nope, in fact i still havent played 4 or 5 yet.
The game looks stunning to me though, and better than a lot of so called 'next gen' games released so far.

 

[BusierDonkey]

What a massive difference from last year. Looks great and the gameplay they showed looks like a lot of fun with a lot of possibilities on how to go about doing things, more like in the old Halo trilogy.

Disagree. Perhaps your attachment to the series clouds your judgment.

 

[Dynasty8]

It looks good. Looking forward to the campaign experience more than the multiplayer to be honest. I just hope there is enough length and it doesn't just last for 10-12 hours.

 

[phil_t98]

so I caved in and watched, that looks sooo good. potential to be the best halo yet by the looks of it

 

[fermcr]

Not a Halo fan, but, this looked great.

 

[lefty1117]

• Not a fan of the art style, but it looks pretty good
• Gameplay seems cool. The new stuff is more than a gimmick and that makes me happy
• Not digging the tone of Cortana's voice. Seems really out of place for some reason
• When the mini-boss comes up it suddenly becomes Destiny lol

Good job, overall. Will definitely play it!

It's not Cortana that's why. It's The Weapon, a different AI

 

[Havoc2049]

Well, I was hoping for an epic shooter like the ones that were part of the first trilogy, you know? Not this "trend-seeker" open world-esque gameplay and trashy lines.

This is not Halo to me. This is the third game from a studio that clearly doesn't know what to do with the franchise. People like it? Good for them. Me? I really dislike it.

Not only that but the voice over was cringe as hell. Sue me.

Having the iconic Jen Taylor do the voice over work for this trailer was money. The return of humor and chessy one liners is a return to Bungie Halo form as well, as 343 always took the Halo franchise to seriously and had a knack for making boring and unlikable characters. Bungie Halo was full of humor; cheesy, yet fun one liners and likable characters. To me, it looks like Joe Staten has changed the culture at 343 and has the team going in the right direction.

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Infinite campaign finally looks like Halo

 

[Stuart360]

Just cant believe we are finally getting an open world Halo set on a Halo ring, complete with side content, and stuff to explore. This is where i wanted the series to go for years.
I'm sure they will be adding expansions over the coming years that open up new parts of the ring and stuff.
Dis gunna be gud!.

 

[cragarmi]

Looks average in all aspects, gameplay, gfx, mechanic's

So a standard halo game it seems

True, apart from Halo CE on the OG Xbox, it has never really impressed graphically. I remember Halo 3 looking less than stellar graphically.

 

[MaulerX]

To each their own

This looks incredible.

I understand not everybody is going to like everything but to think that they are people here saying that this looks bad is head scratching.

 

[ManaByte]

Imagine trying so hard to try to convince yourself that this doesn't look incredibly impressive and fun.

 

[SpiceRacz]

I see some bans coming. Some of you can't help yourselves.

As for the game, it looks awesome. I don't even really like Halo and I'm itching to play this now.

 

[aries_71]

I don't believe in 343 Industries, but I believe in Master Chief.

Let's go Chief, we can make this happen!

 

[R6Rider]

Imagine trying so hard to try to convince yourself that this doesn't look incredibly impressive and fun.

It looks fun, but some people are making it out to be the best thing ever based on a few selected clips for a trailer. You could use the same argument for all the people claiming it to be the most fun thing ever without having played it yet.

 

[Robb]

They showed a lot more than I was expecting tbh. Looks great, can't wait to play it!

Somebody get this Covid Craig brute some moisturiser and please point out where the subsurface scattering is

Rewatch this explosion tell me its not weak

Watch the explosions of the silos and see where they should have started exploding from and where they ended up exploding from the top in the same animation cycle

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Imagine trying so hard to try to convince yourself that this doesn't look incredibly impressive and fun.

I don't think it looks impressive. I think it looks better than it did. Gears games look much better. Forza. halo has never impressed me.

 

[Stuart360]

Man some of you are trying waaay too hard.

 

[Fess]

This looks incredible.

I understand not everybody is going to like everything but to think that they are people here saying that this looks bad is head scratching.

As a racing game fan that segment highlight the missing mud and smoke from the tires for me. Everything else looks great though!

 

[martino]

It looks like all they did was turn to bloom up to 100 and add some lighting effects on the walls. Im sure it looks good in 4k but that art direction is so plain and uninspiring IMO.

This is best news than this rereveal (for this forum)

 

[Flintty]

You must be new to hype threads

I don't think anyone is saying it will be the greatest game ever but it legitimately has the chance to be the best Halo game ever, though we won't know til Dec.

If fans are enjoying the thread and the hype, why judge and try and pour cold water on it? Let people be excited. We deserve this after waiting so long

Which is what a trailer is supposed to do.

 

[ByWatterson]

I'm watching on not the best monitor, but so far, I'm not super impressed. It's obviously more polished than last year, but the lighting still looks flat and last-gen to me - and yes, I know it is a last-gen game in many respects, but we've seen developers do some incredible things in that crossgen space, and this merely looks nice.

However, it does look like classic enticing Halo sandbox chaos. It's not blowing me away, but it has definitely piqued my interest.

I'm not saying people can't be excited. There's people in here doing the exact opposite and trying to shutdown anything not positive about the game.

Never said it wasn't.

You're trying way too hard

 

[Kagey K]

This is the most important part to me, and it looks like they've nailed it.

 

[Naked Lunch]

They basically made The Silent Cartographer level into an entire game - which is all Halo fans have wanted ever since Halo 1.
Lighting looks to be fixed - the colors look correct - and they added some low lying fog for atmosphere. Looks great.

Im curious to see the underground/forerunner sections of the Halo - they are probably keeping most of that under wraps.

 

[Stuart360]

Never said it wasn't.

So you understand a trailer is meant to build hype and excitement, but then get butthurt when people are hyped and excited?.

 

[mortal]

 

[Magic Carpet]

I hope Master Chief gives the new AI a new nickname because I don't like 'The Weapon'.
How about C2 (Cortana 2) she can hang with that 2B character in fan stuff.

Please show me where aloy ziplines into the sky and grabs a flying teradactal then swoops down to like 15 enemies all causing havoc. Flips off the teradactyl and rocket launch bow shots towards the floor then ziplines an exploding barrel into her hands and throws it and all the physics launches enemies and shit including weapons everywhere.

Horizon looks amazing but people need to look at what games are actually achieving before they post.

Show me a game that is doing what this halo is doing in terms of vehicles, amount of enemies, ai, physics and pure vertical gameplay and looks better in an open world environment.

I can't think of any.

 

[ResilientBanana]

Seriously cannot wait to play this. It looks great.

 

[ArcaneNLSC]

You're trying way too hard

No just pointing out observations given my experience in design, animation and game development

 

[SafeOrAlone]

This holiday, I'm excited to play Halo and GTA remasters. It's going to be a blast from the past.

 

[R6Rider]

So you understand a trailer is meant to build hype and excitement, but then get butthurt when people are hyped and excited?.

Wow, this is what you're resorting to? Calling me butthurt? Try reading again.

No where did I say anything along those lines. I simply was stating that the same "arguments" against the negativity here could be used against the positivity. You're literally putting words in my mouth and now resulting to pathetic insults.

 

[Cacadookie]

I don't know if this has been posted but is that grunt wearing a hat?

[cireza]

Game already looked super fun last year. All I can see are some visual improvements that are pretty negligible to me. Hopefully people who complained are happy now ? So that I can finally play my game...

 

[LordBlodgett]

This looks freaking great. I love how the humor is back. Trailer looks a lot better too, no clipping or pop-in

 

[Plantoid]

And what is it?

A semi-open world in 4k at 60fps

 

[ArcaneNLSC]

Amazing physics. Robo-dino looking thing is smacked with a stick and falls to the ground in opposite direction.

I'd say it was more the electro shock pulse that knocked the raptorbot out

 

[buenoblue]

Yeah looks decent. I'll play this and Forza horizon 5 for a quid why not.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I'd say it was more the electro shock pulse that knocked the raptorbot out

But the massive blow did nothing. Video game logic. Listen, Havok has been around for 20 years. I finished Max Payne 2 (a game from 2003) few days ago and action there was more cinematic than in this.

I take a less graphically impressive game with proper physic based action and sandbox over scripted nonsense.

 

[vewn]

Thank fuck they finally added grunge and more visible texture detail to their assets, it looks so much better than last year. I wish they gave the smoke effects more attention though.
Cautiously optimistic about this one but I'll be waiting for reviews.

 

[Codes 208]

It's hard to say no because i see lot things to like this time but trailer was clear it's sequel of 5 and there is still no 5 on pc

You sound like thats a bad thing.
Youve been spared from the worst story written halo in existence.

halo infinite is a spiritual reboot more or less because of how much backlash 5 got.
