Halo Infinite looked really poor. Supposedly there have been "difficulties" with the developer, so maybe this will be like the Master Chief Collection - taking years to finally grow into a decent product.
The series has been on a severe downward spiral since Halo 3, though. Perhaps we're expecting too much from a new Halo game today, but this demo seems to have been quite damaging for Microsoft. Graphically, it's so bad that it seems to have taken the shine off having the most powerful console. They should have started the showcase with something genuinely impressive, like Flight Simulator, because Halo turned out to be a big PR win for Sony.
Im surprised there wasn't a separate thread for Halo Infinite. I was about to make one but maybe leading up the release well see one (or ill make one lol).
Anyway, I am obsessed with Halo and have been playing MCC for sometime now. I have been anxiously waiting for the game play trailer and the armor trailer.
Gameplay trailer... I pretty much am excited for the open world route they are going with. However, the graphics did annoy me a bit and even annoyed me more when I read into the comments all over various websites. I know 343 apparently listened to fans regarding the lackluster 4 and 5 and wanted the newest installment to "feel more like CE both look and play".
Well I guess the accomplished that with the less realistic look compared to the previous games. If I am buying a XBSX I wanted to be blown away with this and it left me nervous.
With that said, my hope is that this was probably a demo put together earlier in the year in anticipation for E3 which got cancelled and this all they could present for the showcase. I hope I am presently surprised come Holiday 2020. It is also being made for both generations of xbox so perhaps they can't go all in graphic wise and being open world every little detail we are expecting just isn't possible even on the new system.
I am hoping for the best being that this is MS bread and butter and probably the last shot for Halo to be relevant compared to the rest of the major titles.
