State Of Decay 3! Yay!

The first game that they're showing in this presentation, Dragonquest XI, does not look impressive at all; the graphics are below Switch quality. 12 teraflops being wasted.
The second game that they're showing, Exomecha, looks like it's still in the alpha phase; the textures are flat and have practically no detail.
This third or fourth game that they're showing (I might have missed one), Hello Neighbor 2, looks pretty good. It has intentionally cartoonish graphics and an aesthetic that reminds me of Tim Burton; it's impressive, as the character models and environment have a very appreciable sense of depth and the colors are quite bold, which makes me wonder how it'll look in HDR. As simple as it looks, for some reason I don't think that it'd look as good on current-gen consoles.
Balan Wonderworld looks like a browser game. Unimpressive.
-------------------
Halo Infinite looks okay. The facial animation of the human NPC with whom Master Chief chats at the beginning of the gameplay is very fluid, but even though it's in-engine, it's not live gameplay; so, it's ultimately not very impressive. As for the actual gameplay, it doesn't look like anything new relative to previous entries; it's comprised of the same ol' shooting, jumping, and shield-deployment. Also, the graphics for the environment and enemies are nothing special, as well as the physics and animation; they honestly don't look next gen. The skin texture of the gray, monstrous, monologing creature at the end has is flat and lacks detail.
State of Decay 3 was shown via a pre-rendered, cinematic trailer. So, there's no basis upon which its graphics can be judged.
Forza looked impressive. However, it was described as being in-engine but not in-game, and there's a difference between the two.

This isn't going to look any less plasticky and cartoony at 4K, it's just going to look cleaner.

State Of Decay. No gameplay. Doesn’t matter. Pointless.

Yeah even the most hardcore halo fans I know aren't impressed visually. This was a letdown graphically. Gameplay wise though looked good. It's just not going to be 117 leading the charge anymore in graphics. Not for years. I think the industry has just evolved tremendously since Halo 4, which this looks extremely similar to.
As soon as I saw that first fight scene. I was ahhhh man. It's just not there.

Halo was underwhelming and realized my fear. These games have to run on a fucking X1S ... and it shows.
*shakes head*
Damn it, Phil.

Turn 10 always smash it out of the park graphically.

I loved the first game. It was definitely ugly and janky, but I played the heck out of it.
