Halo Infinite New Screenshots - Inside Infinite - February 2021

343 Industries: In our latest installment of Inside Infinite we talk with members of the Halo Infinite team about the work they're doing to bring Zeta Halo to life and share some updated looks at the progress that's been made since last year's campaign demo.

[Rousseau888]

Look impressive!

[darthv72]

I can def see a difference, but it would be nice to see in motion. Then we will know for sure if they have fixed the right things.

[RaidenBlack]

What is seems is that, they're going for a realistic lighting implementation along with very minimal post-processing effects (which was opposite in Halo 5).
So this scene:

Looks very clean but I'd like more details.

[DJStotty]

I agree, we need to see an updated trailer/gameplay.

My guess is they will leave that for this years E3.

[Rousseau888]

Agreed ! Also with new graphic i wonder how nice ray tracing will look in a game like halo with plasmas weapons

Edit : i hope brutes get their beards back

[Sayai jin]

Agreed Darth. Stills are cool, but seeing the animation, fps, etc is where you can determine any true improvement. Slow and steady and release when completely polished. Every game should follow those rules to look and play great, i.e. God of War, LOU...

[Godmars290]

*ADD MOTION/ANIMATION*

"Oh, hi Craig. How's your sex life?"

[Kilua]

This is what impressive looks like? Still doesn't look all that great to me. It must look like they are doing exactly what they should have. 343 industries arent going to push graphical boundaries here, but i expect a competent looking game and i guess these screens are a start

[rlow1]

Looks much better and they still have some time to go.

[Elda]

The trees look better.

[NeoGamer232]

I actually think the trees look mostly the same. It is almost like they are using a form of cell shading on them. Something like in Everwild.

[Fluttershy77]

yeah cell shaded and not only on them

[Noskypeno]

These screens are somewhat inconsistent, but it does look much better then before, there's much more foliage and the textures and lighting look better. But I guess the orange sky just made it look flat

[DOMination-]

They look like cel shading because the caption says it's a concept painting

[Kavorklestein]

Hearing what they described in the article sounds promising, and some of those time of day differences looked quite nice.
I don't wanna get my hopes up too high, but this is looking and sounding better and better for sure.

Can't wait to see more.

[Kavorklestein]

13 disagrees? Wow how sad, Holy fuck you are all retards.

[SonyStyled]

My phone is slow and incorrectly auto fills regularly, but choice words you have my friend. Bless you

[DJStotty]

Sadly there is a large portion of N4G that want this game to fail, just to give them a new bat to hit the ball around with.

[galmi]

its the n4g formula lol

[StormSnooper]

DJStotty
You say sadly but you do the same thing yourself.

On topic: I think it’s looking better, that’s not saying much, but I think by the time it’s ready it will look amazing. It has to, it’s a Halo game.

[Bathyj]

I think we need to see it running before we can conclude if there's been a real improvement.

And why are they still showing PC shots? Stop starving your console customers Microsoft.

[russo121]

Ms follows their usual promotion recipe with old same tactics and fanboys fall for it every time.

Must wait for console version and preferably in motion.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

I'll wait till get more polished

[Sophisticated_Chap]

This is the only shooter that is announced that I'm actually excited about. The gaming industry has become totally unexciting to me over the last 5 or so years. Lets hope that BF6 is something special because beyond that, there isn't much else in the shooter space that is any good at the moment.

[SonyStyled]

Check out Returnal if your a fan of shooters, but id take you’re an FPS fan than 3rd person shooters

[DJStotty]

The industry is filling up with looter shooters, or PubG style games to push those good old Microtransactions.

My primary genre of game to play are 1st person shooters, so i am hyped for this game.

P.s. they need to announce a new Quake, it is well, well overdue.

[MadLad]

I think it looks good.
Now that I actually have free time, I've been playing through the Master Chief collection.
The original gameplay trailer felt a lot more like Bungie's work than what we've been getting from 343 so, yeah, I'm excited.

[Stanjara]

So a video was so hard to make? What am I supposed to do with this screenshots?

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

Put them as a background for your desktop obviously.

[RaidenBlack]

So you were born after video-game magazines, it seems.

[DJStotty]

Nothing like the excitement of grabbing the latest mag and slamming that demo disc in your console when you got home!!!

[DJStotty]

@Stanjara

"What am I supposed to do with this screenshots?"

Maybe the same thing you do with any other developer/publisher that releases screenshots for their game? I don't know......

[Tedakin]

The real test is how it looks in motion. No doubt the delay was the smart move.

[CobraKai]

Ok. Looking better. If this was a Series X exclusive, I think I’d be saving my money for the console.

[Orchard]

Looks great - huge improvement from what we saw at the unveil last year... I hope the delay was worth it and the game lives up to the hype.

[azedean]

It is is not impressive, it still looks like a last generation game, they change the lightning but the grass and trees looks like days gone or horizon zero dawn nothing news here. It is better than before but not a huge step like they said. Where is the slap I'm waiting for ???

[greywolf39]

Again... Screenshots from pc... Why?

[NextGenCeo]

They fix the trees :D

[Sayai jin]

Still skeptical on this. I am glad they bought the devs from The Coalition to help.

[gravedigger]

Looks good, not that impressive, but surely it is a cross-gen game. But why screenshots from a PC version. LOL

[SpineSaw]

Clearly they fired Craig he was no where to be found. I hope they waited for the pop-ins to ummm pop-in before getting the screenshot.

[XBManiac]

Not bad for a before 2018 game

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

Screen shots look great but I need to see some 4k 60 fps gameplay to get me excited. Take your time 343 get the story right and make the game as beautiful as you possibly can. To me the most impressive thing about this is I'll get it day one on gamepass so it's a win for me no matter what.

[thesoftware730]

It's so sad to see people negative comments from these excellent screenshots. It's ok to be skeptical, but to say the only improvement is the lighting is ridiculous.

We don't know if its from Series X or PC, guess what? its still looks excellent, especially for the scope and open world nature of the game.

[IRetrouk]

Pc

[F0XH0UND922]

Excellent screenshots? For last generation maybe. Let's be real here, these screenshots aren't dazzling.

Also, it's literally from a pc, not sure why that's confusing for you.

[azedean]

I'm not the only one thank you, it is absolutely last gen sorry nothing impressive, nothing jaw dropping, still waiting the game that shows me the most powerful 12tflops...

[thesoftware730]

@ Fox

Huh?

I said excellent, not Dazzling and even mention for they type of game it is.

I assure you I'm not confused, I was making the point of no matter what its on it looks Excellent, I don't think the Series X will be that far off from what you see here, With it launching late in the year it has a good chance to look even better .

and yes, I think it looks excellent.

[purple101]

Clean install of windows 15

2X RTX3080 in SLI.

32GB 3200mhz RAM.

Open case with liquid nitrogen cooling.

29fps.

[Kilua]

"It's so sad to see people negative comments from these excellent screenshots."

The screen shots look exactly like how i expected: an improvement. Does that make it Excellent? Definitely not.

[ironmonkey]

Wheres the gorilla

[jznrpg]

I’m sure the gameplay will be pretty good at minimum and the graphics will look pretty good but I’m concerned about the story/writing/acting .Is it going to be good or really bad like the first demo we saw with that horrible actor with master chief . It was cringe . I think they should totally scrap that part altogether .
