if the new Halo game looks like this pretty sure I will be able to run it easely on my good old gaming rig, and thats awesome! , I think is great what MS Studio is doing here, lots of PC gamers will be able to do the same if their gaming rig is not that new. :D

It doesn't look amazing, but I definitely think that's for the better. Keep those frames high first and foremost.

It has a fps cap on PC for some reason we cant get over 100fps not sure if this is a bug or just a cap for the beta. I have above average hardware at that 100fps cap is annoying.

I was able to get the game to around 120-135fps on low. I have a 5900x and a 2080ti so not the newest or best but it got the job done. Ultra settings is terrible though, it's like 55-70fps, sometimes up to 80fps if I'm lucky

Tapani1368d ago

Is that 4K ultra? If you drop to 55fps at worst, I guess 6900xt should be 60fps steady.

I wonder if they will implement Ray Tracing… The game would benefit from it, especially global illumination.

iNcRiMiNaTi1368d ago

No I play at 1440p, I'd imagine 4k would be worse

anubusgold1368d ago

Im at 1440P ultra with a 3070 I tried to turn things down to medium it didnt make any difference really so i just keep it on ultra .

Tapani1367d ago (Edited 1367d ago )

Oh wow, ultra @ 1440p with 2080ti, and only 55-70fps. At this moment, the game is heavy. That’s already 30% faster than what Series X can do. Series X might run it 1080p high.

Hmm… I wonder how my OC’d 6900XT will run this at 4K. Ray Tracing is out of question unless they release FSR or another upscaling technique. At 80% res scale, it might work if they optimize it well.

I’m confident the performance will get an uplift as they further optimize the game.

anubusgold1366d ago

@Tapani Twitch Halo streamer Activee says he gets 120 to 145 fps with a 2080ti at 1440P on the Halo test so i dont know what im doing wrong lol.

This game looks better each time they show it off. The wall textures are insane, the lighting is also pretty good, along with nice reflections. The ground textures might not quite match the 2018 reveal but this is just a mp test, and if they keep improving like they are the final game might look like they envisioned a next gen halo
game to be, but it still looks as good as any other crossgen game besides Forza.

Definitely noticed a boost in quality on the 2nd map compared to the first, so its hard to gauge so far anything in regards to the actual release (not to mention this is barely at an alpha level and a few months old, so differences between maps is to be expected I guess)

Rimeskeem1368d ago

The urban areas look great, I feel like we need to see the nature stuff more cause that was lacking in the initial reveil.

"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.

porkChop162d ago

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

Knightofelemia162d ago

Maybe all the staff got laid off.

TheColbertinator161d 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.

WTF!!!? Can we add Tic-Tac-Toe, maybe Connect 4? How bout the card game Go Fish? Microsoft should shelve the Halo Franchise for 10 to 20yrs or sell it clearly they have no new ideas to take Halo forward and putting a "Hey gamer finish the game for us" mode and we can make more money off it and we can fire some more game Developers that we really don't even care about.......Microsoft is done even trying to make Halo a game worthy of even a little bit of our time.
