Halo Infinite graphical comparison 2020 2021

Man I really hope that last quote is inspired by me since I did say that a few days ago and still believe it. You know just because something is dead doesn't mean it can't be revitalized. I would have said the same thing about Metroid before yesterday, and yet a new Metroid game was just...

To me Stalker 2 looks like a sad clone of previous corridor shooters with little imagination or scope. Come back to us when it expands to large scale battles with better enemy AI and tighter, faster gameplay. When you wander around a map in slow motion in a limited space or environment it's not hard to focus on graphics much.

This only tells me you definetely never played a Stalker game, like ever.

 

[Snake29]

The cutscenes from 2020 look better then 2021, but gameplay looks better in 2021. 2021 cutscene is also different lighting so not really a fair comparison....

I'm just using the same amount of effort that others use to criticize Halo. The difference is I don't go into other threads just to shit 'em up.

​

Nothing about this trailer makes me think it looks better than Halo Infinite. Absolutely nothing.

[ClosBSAS]

Game looks fine. Now looks better. Its all bout mp.

Stalker is the furthest game from a corridor shooter. It's on the opposite side of it actually.

 

[Exanthus]

I still watch the first reveal from time to time, my god it needed so much work, but I really enjoy the gameplay.

 

[Yoboman]

It was an in-engine trailer from 3 years ago bruh things change during development.

BS the game looks nothing like that at all, even after moving to Series X

You can see some parts of the open world that do look similar like the dudes in the vehicle, and chief looks similar to how he looks in the cinematics.

 

[iHaunter]

Textures and lighting make or break visuals.... yes there is more to it than that, but even even the highest detailed mesh will suffer without good texture and lighting work.

With that said, Halo Infinite is looking just fine. Nothing earth shattering... but it looks good. The art style is looking fantastic IMO... like a modernized original XBOX game. I totally dig it.

I don't mind the Graphics if the gameplay is good.

Eh, i think it was more cg representing an impossibly high target and now they have egg on their face for not being able to reach that target render

It was definitely not cg in the sense that it was modeled and rendered in Maya or something. You can tell by the particle effects by the rhinos and the warthog or whatever it is. It definitely was a high target that had to be scaled back as actually gameplay was made for the supported systems.

The 2019 trailer was also in engine and the cutscenes look exactly the same

Graphics aren’t important for me when it comes to halo but if it gives the franchise some confidence than do the delay thing.

Ok guys, where are the news and rumours?
It is time to start building the hype!

Will be the first game I buy for my Series X that I've had since launch

Have you ever played STALKER? Because I don't think you know what it is AT ALL.

Gamepass tho

 

[TV&Drugs]

Looks better but expectations are also much much higher now. Its been a year later, and PS5 has released killer after killer. Halo Infinite was meant to help get Xbox through the first year.

"killer after killer"

please elighten me on what games you're talking about? all i can think of is Demons Souls and maybe Ratchet & Clank. The only other good PS5 games aren't out yet: Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo, and God of War.

turning it on and updating the OS then turning it off

What game modes are confirmed for multiplayer?

Will be first Halo I jump in with my friends.

Super excited!!

 

[HYDE]

Graphics are fine. Is the gameplay amazing and fun? Metroid Dread & Elden Ring are catching the same flack…quit caring about graphics so much folks. Wait to play the game, and figure out if it’s great or not at that point.

The fact that they dont have a release date yet, that they are hiding the campaign is concerning

 

[ResilientBanana]

The game looks a lot better than it did. The gameplay has me super excited. This will be a day 1 purchase from me, a halo fan.

 

[kuncol02]

Spencer said they are waiting for other games (Call of Duty) release date. They clearly don't want to be sandwiched between CoD and Battlefield

 

[The Alien]

Still delicious bacon regardless.

So you are surprised a next-gen exclusive looks better than a cross-gen game?

....with massive multiplayer components vs. a linear single player experience.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

You completely missed the point.

Have you ever played STALKER? Because I don't think you know what it is AT ALL.

The point is that some are acting like Stalker 2 as a 3rd party game somehow puts Infinite to shame in the graphics department, which is laughably untrue. What is irrelevant is whether or not I have played Stalker. Ive watched videos of Stalker and the trailer for Stalker 2. It looks generic. It doesn't look like a graphical powerhouse. Nothing in the trailer shows open encounters. Can someone direct me to the footage of Stalker 2 that somehow blows away Halo Infinite? Because I must have missed it.

I absolutely disagree about the 2020 cutscene looking better. Not one person has said this bar you, I mean are you being serious? Now if you said the 2019 trailer you'd have a discussion, but the 2020 trailer not a chance.

As much as I am hyped for Halo Infinite, the reality is that its nothing compared to the original E3 2018 slipspace engine.

I am glad the game got delayed and got a visual boost. The fact of the matter is that its a cross gen title and that's it. I don't care how anyone or how MS spins it, but its cross gen.

We will have to wait another while to see a true next gen Halo sadly. Also, I have no clue how they are planning on supporting this game for 10 years running on an old gen system. Perhaps that's where the Xbox Series X Cloud Server Blades come in but even then i am not sure

A generational difference.

If it wasn't cross gen it would of ended up looking way better.

Really? I don’t understand how anybody thinks the 2020 cutscenes look better than the recent one - the 8 minute gameplay video? The cutscene within that? That’s what you’re talking about?

That is what I wanted, visually.
It is insulting that they claimed that was in engine at that point.

Now they may keep improving it during the next 10 years but it won't be the same.

I still hope that the gameplay will be great, thus the game will be great regardless of graphics.

Sometimes I hope that they had rebooted the game sooner or delayed it 3 years instead of 1, so that they really cooked something spectacular at all levels.

seriously keep posting old screen shots from a non final version of the game. Makes you look incredibly smart.

I mean I've already said it was a joke but isn't it the case that both aren't finished?
