Halo Infinite: Demo Breakdown and Reaction

James writes, "Ever since it was originally unveiled, I have been waiting in anticipation for extended footage of Halo: Infinite gameplay. Today, Xbox delivered my wish at their Xbox Games Showcase. And man does it look beautiful! The demo starts out with Master Chief riding in on a UNSC ship as it is crash landing."

I thought it looked good. Not from a graphical standpoint as Halo has had its own sort of style that’s veered more towards arcade than realism. It looked really smooth, interested to see what a open world Halo game is like. But, they didn’t show much of the story and the biggest selling point the MP, so that was disappointing.

The campaign is as big a seller as the MP I buy halo for both. That's what make Halo the best fps. It always had one of the best campaigns in gaming (not count 5 ofc) and the best MP (not counting reach and 4)

To each his/her own. I like playing through the campaigns, I just never played much attention to the story as never really got me hooked.

It was the MP that got my college roommates and I hooked to the series, and has kept us in contact with each other long after college. So it will always be special to me in that regard.

there was visible pop-in when chief was going up the elevator

They confirmed this is an earlier build and no ray tracing in it yet.

ray tracing has nothing to do with pop-ins

gamer78041800d ago

@SamPao “Earlier build...”

Minute Man 7211800d ago

@ gamer

Why would they show an early build? The system launches in 4 months.

If it was 2 years out no worries

gamer78041800d ago

@minuteman it’s due to everyone Working at home. They are working on polishing the game.

fathertime44641800d ago

You cant make comments like that on n4g. Mostly sony fans here. They cant read articles only headlines that suite their narrative that playstation is the best

Ben Dover1799d ago

So I suppose Sony isn't working from home then? Considering the quality they showed was much higher.

Oh right... it's just one of your dumb excuses.

Even after the show, people still apologizing for Microsoft 🙄

The game looked mediocre AF.

When you brag about Teraflops for a year you better show receipts.....and Halo wasn't it.

Eamon1800d ago

Only people engaged in irrelevant console wars care about the looks. For Halo purists, the gameplay looked like it was going back to its roots of Halo 1. I couldn't finish Halo 4 and didn't touch Halo 5. So the Infinite demo actually appealed greatly to me. Graphics wasn't cutting edge but has great art direction. The shooting and environments is the old beloved sandbox-style that made Halo fans fall in love with the game back when I was a kid.

Clearly, Infinite has taken some influences from the recent Doom games rather than COD or Battlefield or any other over-dramatic FPS lately.

Pickledpepper1800d ago

I liked what I saw, just hope the story behind it is good.

"The story would have been expanded through yearly campaign DLC, so players would not have to wait for another mainline Halo title." ~ this seldom works
But I still think, they should've tried 1 last Halo sequel based on that slipspace engine, that they invested so much on but made for current gen only, before going all in on UE5.

Maybe they were replaced by AI.

Call me a cynic. But it seems that not even the people working in the studio know what’s the status of Halo.

They were going to add a BR mode, which then got cancelled, but now it’s a sequel to infinite, but may be a reboot of the first game?

It may be normal for development to be like this as super Mario galaxy started as cut content from Mario 128, which then became a tech demo, which became pikmin, which eventually became Mario galaxy.

But 343 or whatever they are called now-certainly don’t have a good track record so it makes me wonder what’s happening.

porkChop222d ago

The Halo: CE remake is a separate project from the Infinite sequel.

Knightofelemia222d ago

Maybe all the staff got laid off.

TheColbertinator221d ago

I'd be much more comfortable with the future of Halo if "343" or whatever they call themselves now were no longer in charge of the series.
