Look at that, Alex was right about lighting being the main problem all along, who knew... GAF experts in the mud again. These guys just can't stop taking L's.
That is insanely good. I hope there is a weather system. I would like to experience rain in these environments.
Wrong, that one is called warthog.August 2020

worth it
like I said zooming in on certain objects is not the way to determine how good something looks.
I did NOT zoom in. That Image is full resolution but cropped to highlight one specific areaif you want we can go on zooming 2000x any official screenshot of all existing crossge game. What you say makes no sense. again
My apologies before hand, this reply was intended for the Halo 4k Images thread.
However currently I can no longer reply at the moment.
But - it was stated in the 4k Infinite Images thread cited I enlarged an image to fit a false narrative. This implies I physically enlarged an image over it's native resolution to make said image uglier.
Due to this, I'm leaving my response here to Negotiator who afterwards made a reply to another user seemingly targeting me, however as I looked through his various replies to figure out where this was said previously as his reply infers - I could not find citation- and MonarchJT who flatly insinuates on more than one occasion I've altered the image by enlarging the original resolution.

That is the exact same resolution as the original image and would fit perfectly into the original image at native resolution.
Original Image
Native Resolution Cropped Image - no zoom was utilized to establish this game natively looks painted on top of.
I'm one of the fans who saw the original content and DID NOT complain.
Please quit inferring I've altered the images to fit your false narrative.
We are now 8 months away from projected launch and these are the remaining visuals which is cause for concern
And specifically says 3 things.
Microsoft will delay
or
Microsoft will launch with the graphics in place currently
and
Spencer will come out and tell fans they intend to continue 'upgrading/enhancing' the game well after launch
It does not however, look like Microsoft's largest most important flagship title any longer - nor does it look like what Microsoft
should consider it's Biggest Major Next Gen Showcase.
So far what we have seen (and what I never commented on initially) is a tangible improvement graphically.
Does this tangible improvement, projected to release in another 8 months - do justice to Microsoft largest
most bleeding edge franchise?
Honestly...
It looks at best... a generation behind current standards. And some who disagree have taken to inferring I am a liar - and have altered the images native resolution by 'zooming' in - when all I actually did was crop the image without enlarging it's original resolution.
There are 10 year old Bethesda Titles that rival in parts what has been shown in these screenshots.
Original Vanilla Decade old Skyrim Matches and Exceeds this franchise visually in many areas depending on the picture you are viewing as of current.
This is the realization most seem to be ignoring after finally inspecting these new images with scrutiny currently.
And it's inexcusable.
Click for full resolution comparison. I unfortunately, had to crop the 4k Halo image to fit within size restraints
but neither image was altered in quality. In fact, I invite you to look at the full 4k Halo Image and Compare it
to the 1080p Vanilla Skyrim Image taken from setting's a decade old - in their own native states.
Original Vanilla Skyrim still in fact looks far superior in many areas.
Easier to just set him to ignore. The man is insane.Just stop man, you are banned from the other thread for trolling and now you say Skyrim is better looking, a decade old game. You're embarrassing yourself, now have a good day.
Firstly, I've had my replies stop due to sheer amount of 'likes' garnered on my comments in the past - with the notice 'you are receiving too much traffic, take a break' and have not been informed that I am banned oneJust stop man, you are banned from the other thread for trolling and now you say Skyrim is better looking, a decade old game.

Sure, their Screenshots are always super beautiful and exceptional looking, but I will judge on the live gameplay video.
With one more year development time and the craig meme, I hope they make it right.
Also I want ray-tracing in, if they delay to end of 2021 anyways
At least all the promo shots looked consistent, and visually at odds with what has been shown currently. The screenshots in fact painted an entirely different picture than the demo, which has been cited time and again.I advise you then to look to the E3 promo shots, I don't think you can call them "super beautiful".
Now I see what they were talking about when they said lockdown affects mental health.Firstly, I've had my replies stop due to sheer amount of 'likes' garnered on my comments in the past - with the notice 'you are receiving too much traffic, take a break' and have not been informed that I am banned one
way or the other in this particular instance.
Secondly, stop lying about how I've enlarged photo's to fit you and your compatriots false, lying narrative - its there for everyone to see now. You've both accused ME of photo manipulation, all I've done is cropped
and highlighted problem areas at native resolution. No zooming, no enlarging, no image manipulation outside of arrows, words, text and crops - just specific key problem areas cropped and highlighted. Not enlarged.
And now you blatantly ignore the fact that a decade old game looks better in the image I've posted, Original Vanilla Skyrim vs XSX 4k Halo , to bolster your own lies.
Grats, not only did you miss the point and insinuate my Original Vanilla Skyrim vs XSX 4k Halo photo comparison is not relevant to this thread simply on the fact that I mentioned you prior to posting... you've also proceeded to implicate yourself as a liar by offering nothing counter to your claim that I purely enlarged, manipulated... and zoomed beyond native resolution... into a photo to oversaturate blemishes. I didn't, and you're lies are now on full display along with your fellow instigator and pixel art enthusiasts friends.

I'm holding out to see that it does, but it wont if they plan to release in 8 months - I mean... if the pictures are any indication, some areas will look horrible....I'll see you when Microsoft shows us gameplay, and we'll see if your Skyrim comparison holds up
The reveal trailer was an ENGINE demonstration, this is a GAME.Better than before, but still nowhere near the reveal trailer
You can’t get half as close to a body by looking at it as you can when they’re clipping into while falling down

And for Comparisons sake, I did crop the most similar region of the Halo 4k image to match the Skyrim Image
Staggering how Original Vanilla Skyrim looks better is it not?
Microsoft you awake in there?
Well done Spartan.
Well yeah that's the problem (not just an Xbox issue, Sony is doing it too.. annoying)It's cross-gen.
Offended? Lol that's cuteI can't put it down these days lol and I was never into shooters that much! I genuinely gave Halo a try (with the MCC & Halo 5) and could not get into it! But isn't Halo Infinite being designed to be like Destiny? Or something like it?
EDIT
Lol, you got offended by what I said but I wasn't putting down Halo.
It's not a problem considering this game was announced before the Series X/S was a thing and MS has announced plenty of current gem exclusive games.Well yeah that's the problem (not just an Xbox issue, Sony is doing it too.. annoying)
The reveal trailer was an ENGINE demonstration, this is a GAME.
I haven't zoomed in. That is a cropped image for comparison with a link to the non crop non edited version.I get you're a very very sad troll who does stuff like this to make you feel better about your unhappy younger years, but it actually shows how much father out the trees render and in a high quality in Infinite. You've zoomed in and compared the very closet trees of Skyrim to the tress in Infinite that are at the equivalent distance of the edge of the render distance in Skyrim. And it's close! when you add in how Infinite has more trees 2x further back, you did a great job showing how this FPS game has a better open world system than one of the GOAT games in that genre, good work soldier!
SINCE I KEEP GETTING ACCUSED OF BEING A LIAR
Here is a 4k Screenshot of SKYRIM - on PS4 PRO NON MODDED.
Compare it to Halo 4k And You will instantly see why everyone with eyes should be upset.
BEHOLD
ORIGINAL SE SKYRIM ON PS4 PRO VS NEW HALO
I actually had to SHRINK the Skyrim Image - it actually IS 4k in this instance - bringing to light the fact that
most of the Halo Images are in fact NOT 4k.

No the textures are inferior to next gen standards and only in fact hold up to Skyrim levels of quality at best, I've fixed the previous link so that it will enlarge properly when clicked if you care to look again. The ground textures in Skyrim are noticeably on par with what is present in Halo. The foreground and background essentially matches in quality what is seen in Halo.The trees in the distance look nicer. The foreground looks worse, and the distant ground textures look worse as well. Essentially the main point you are highlighting is that the trees in Infinite look weird. You can do that without pretending that the (vanilla) graphics of a 9 year old game are comparable to one releasing in 2021.
I know you have a lot invested in this for some reason, and your custom tag isnt giving me much hope, but you can cherry pick screenshots against tons of games and compare them to better looking games, and show a 'surprising result.No the textures are inferior to next gen standards and only in fact hold up to Skyrim levels of quality at best, I've fixed the previous link so that it will enlarge properly when clicked if you care to look again. The ground textures in Skyrim are noticeably on par with what is present in Halo. The foreground and background essentially matches in quality what is seen in Halo.
In fact if we are speaking about textures, Halo as I have pointed out - has poor textures that only Match Skyrim, in the below image - the interior ground tiling is of the same quality or in fact better than what is shown in Halo currently.
If you are going to dispute this by citing counter, keep in mind I have highlighted multiple regions where
the textures of Halo are INFERIOR to Skyrim.
And this is to no one specifically.
If you are just going to say I am blind and it's obvious Halo has better textures, without forming a compelling meaningful dialogue or argument please continue to bury your head in the sand and ignore the insanely obvious inferiorities of Halo in it's current state as I have in multiple instances with numerous examples proved counter.
That Halo shot looksI know you have a lot invested in this for some reason, and your custom tag isnt giving me much hope, but you can cherry pick screenshots against tons of games and compare them to better looking games, and show a 'surprising result.
I mean you could compare that Skyrim pick to say Horizon zero Dawn, and i bet you could get that Skyrim pic looking better than a lot of lanscape shots from Horizon, but Horizon is CLEARLY a better looking game.
Having said all that, the Halo shot clearly looks better anyway. The Halo shot looks like some cgi landscape from a TV Sci-Fi show or something.
What the hell is wrong with you?, you are like obsessed over this. As your tag says, you wont be here long.'Lets all ignore the fact that Halo Looks worse than Skyrim due to outside non mitigating factors, bury your heads everyone Halo Graphics looking inferior on all fronts but it's a non issue - also don't play games and have a good time or enjoy good graphics on Xbox Series X/PC mmk'
And yeah, as a fan of good games and graphical splendor on a gaming forum if nothing else - and moving the graphical bar forward. Very concerning. But you are free to concern yourself about the mundane. Go outside, take a breather. You obviously need to.
It still looks like generic sci-fi from 20 years ago. The world lacks any kind of visual interest.
Also, I wish the screenshots released showed assets of similar quality - the armor sets screenshot looks far better in quality than the first person
view asset (weapon and hands seem of lower detail then what is shown in full)
