I'd rather compare two similar games that actually shipped.

This NEEDED to be done.
EDIT: Can I get a xBox supporter to explain those weird, minecraft-looking structures built into the mountains in Infinite? Like, how can they possibly be justified in a graphically ambitious title? And, furthermore, I'm not sure they can be painted as being 'early' versions of a, shall we say, more polygonal model to come in future. It looks like they're very deliberate and baked in to the design. Right?

I guess people just don't have anything better to do. It's sad.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
It's normal for gamers to not appreciate Halo's graphics.

Of course Crytek are better at visuals than 343 and most other studios as well. They created a game engine that other developers pay to use and pioneered shading and lighting techniques still used to this day.

I have seen this gif a few times now, and i wonder, does the ship clip through the tree in the end or is that my imagination?

You murdered the shit out of Halo with this video.
Let me add that Crysis 3 was held back by PS360. So Halo infinate being held back by Xone is not an excuse.

It's supposed to represent a natural phenomenon called columnar jointing like in this image, but it is much too clean and synthetic looking in the game.

okay that's valid.. maybe it's like one zone of the world that looks that way...It's supposed to represent a natural phenomenon called columnar jointing like in this image, but it is much too clean and synthetic looking in the game.
... well, indeed, it hasn't been "perfected" yet, clearly.
I dunno what the answer I'm supposed to see is? I can say that it makes me think of the original version of 'Outcast' on PC...
Look carefully.

It does and the tree doesn't even move.

Pretty sure it doesn't, just looks like it because of how the lights are bleeding through

Go to the 4K video, slow it down to 0.25. The wing clips it.
Even if it didn't clip you'd expect the tree to at least move, it's a scripted scene in a nextgen game. We are already used to insane level of detail in current gen games, a tree moving when a spaceship fly's by it is basic stuff. There are many other details like this missing in this games, enemies don't bleed, don't react properly when shot, weird muzzle flashes, insanely bad lighting and so on.

Early Halo has always been more about color and gameplay than graphics to me.
But yes Crysis kicks the poop out of it.

it's a crossgen game.
It's also Halo. If you want real play battlefield. Do people act the same when they see Borderlands?
I'd put Halo in the same category.

The train yard level from Crysis 3 does a much better yob at selling the game even 8 years ago.

I went through frame by frame before my last comment, and personally I don't think it clips. I re-watched it now and I stand by that, but I agree that it looks bad though. The animation of the ship doesn't look fluid at all (it's very on rails), the ship itself looks kinda low poly and I agree that the lack of environmental interaction (even just particles) stands out.
It’s alien made so it can be perfect in form. But I don’t like it how they visually look.

Not sure if it clips or not, but that is the least of this games worries. I too was shocked to see completely static looking plastic trees.

i suppose that's a reasonable enough reason... but all haloes are alien made... has a reason been given in the lore (i'm not familiar with the lore) as to why different rings are different from each other?

We're here on a forum - to kill time - to talk about gaming - another means of killing time. So yeah, by virtue of everything Neogaf stands for, none of us have anything better to do.

Funny that as we can’t play Halo yet to see how it plays to judge is it the better shooter

Yeah, Halo Infinite is visually unimpressive.
This horse has been brutally beaten and meme'd to death.
I think the point was made.

Perhaps there are a few memes that have been issued in the opposite direction that should be, shall we say, counter-balanced

Stop Crysis 3 released in 2013 and still completely demolishes Halo Infinite.

There is a difference between talking about games and hating on games/brands. Nice talking about games would be a dream, but this will never happen as long as exclusive games exist. No question, Halo deserved critcism for the graphics, but GAF is carrying it too far.

The game looks like shit. Everyone pretty much universally agrees with this. Do we need to clutter up the forum with these threads?

They didn't delay Sea of Thieves and that turned out to be a big success so I don't see them doing it for Halo.

i think the remarks regarding the structures only came about because the rest looks so bad (low res textures, bad lighting, bad animation, regressed A.I. compared to the first Halo, lod pop-ins). Obviously people will question every single design choices then.

I think you've touched on something there that explains the lite graphics~ as i mused on other threads, i think this might be the next SoT, or Fortnite or whatever, for them~
Halo fans should do themselves a solid and accept that this isn't meant to be a new glorious entry in Halo lore, it's meant to be a contemporary WoW equivalent.. Destiny, Apex, but with an established brand.. imagine how great it would be if Sony could make a worldwide phenomenon, ultra addictive competitive multiplayer battle royale game based on, i dunno, God of War? If they could sell it, it would be gold dust.
But it wouldn't make many God of War fans happy, methinks~
>> I'm operating on the assumption that this game will have hugely robust, high player count multiplayer. Don't actually know that for a fact.
They look pretty bad. Like, standalone. Regardless of what i think about the rest of it. Actually i think they're probably the clearest example of all~

You couldn't even max out Crysis 3 PC at 4K 60 now on a PS5 or Series X GPU. Its has lots visual effects that didn't make it into the console version.

Does this actually happen IRL? I've never seen formations like this outside of video games. I live in Florida though. The closest thing we have to a mountain here is the landfill.It's supposed to represent a natural phenomenon called columnar jointing like in this image, but it is much too clean and synthetic looking in the game.
