Digital Foundry: Halo Infinite E3 2019: A Taste Of Next-Gen Xbox Graphics?

I'm also in the camp that feels this is incredibly underwhelming,it looks about what I would expect some of the best looking current gen games to look like when ported to next gen hardware.
It surely does not look as good as say cyberpunk though maybe that will look at lot worse on ps5/scarlet when compared to the PC build.

Halo never aimed for being realistic when it came to graphics. But this looks good nonetheless. Its still early footage. They have plenty of time to improve graphics.
And another one. Did you even click on the video? I feel for Alex, so much time spent on a video and people don't respect it at all.
The difference is this is aiming for 60fps, and apparently native 4K as well.
Always same cry. If Sony showed that and Said this is next gen, i would be saying exactly same thing.
I thought it looked nice, but at the same time it wasn't actually gameplay even if it might have been in engine so it's kind of a wash for me.
It's the detail that's very impressive here and that's why it failed to make an impact to the wider audience. But the demo of the environments last year was very impressive, all at 60fps. Now think of those large vast environments combined with the intricate detail of this demo and you start to piece together just how impressive HI will likely be.
Not really. I just think you see it more easily on fast paced gameplay rather than cinematic like this.
Yup it's just the beggining. Can't wait for more gameplay to show this game is going to be insane 4k 60fps on Scarlett
I'm a huge Xbox fan, have been since the very first Xbox and I loved Halo 4 and was amazed by the visuals. Not so much by 5 but that was due to the underpowered hardware. That being said this new video is a mixed bag for me. Some parts look great, others don't do much for me. Like when we see the marine in front of us, the lighting here doesn't look all that amazing, or maybe it's the art style they are going for. I wouldn't call it cartoony but it sure seems a different style than any other Halo. I really need to get used to it.
Mostly, I just want to see gameplay. If they managed to get it looking like the 2018 trailer during gameplay in 4K/60fps I'm gonna be a really happy dude. Raytracing not being included is unfortunate, I would LOVE if they do add that. If anything it would make a lot of sense to have their behemoth launch game making use of it.

I happily take this as the final quality if they use rest of the available power to make battles a lot bigger with better AI. I really hope to see the legendary Halo battles in action now we have the power
Oh it looks good for sure, and with it still being so far off, not to mention we haven't seen it running on next gen yet (I hope), it could easily still surprise us.
I'm just going by what I saw from the trailer at E3 and last year, it looks good, not great. Maybe you can zoom in and find astonishing detail but it didn't wow me like other title.
True enough, i'm sure if Infinite was only aiming for 30fps they could push the graphics more.
It will probably be 720p on the Xbox One and Maybe 900 to 1080p on the Xbox One X. And true 4K on the Scarlet.
I completely agree. People always forget about the Xbox One's secret hidden GPU that allows it to render native 4K at a clean 60 FPS.
I would wager that differences will become more apparent once development of next gen only games start in earnest, especially those that limit framerates to 30fps. As for Halo Infinty, if all cutscenes run at 60fps at resolutions north of 1440p, it already attests to the generational leap in power compared to what was done with Halo 5 where (as portrayed in the breakdown) the cutscenes, whilst in engine, were rendered at half the framerate and reduced resolution (black bars at top and bottom that altered aspect ratio).
Also, the biggest improvements should come in the form of drawcalls (done by CPU) which ought to mitigate an issue that has become utterly egregious this gen squarely because higher resolution and object detail do NOT mesh well with it, i.e. LoD pop ins.
There are areas where it looks next gen but others where we haven't seen any improvement. Unfortunately this is a target trailer where when gameplay comes in to play it will be downgraded.
I will be surprised if it improves. Especially in the animation, shadows, and facial expressions department which is more important to me than just graphics. The over exaggeration of animations feels so uncanny now.

The Xbox One X would struggle to render that at native 4K at 30 FPS let alone 60. I have no doubt it would have to drop down to 1620p to 1800p. So for those saying this "doesn't look next-gen" or that it's "unimpressive" I find the logic very puzzling.
The concept of next-gen is 'what you're seeing here is not possible on current gen', and as outlined it's assuredly not.

I was under the impression that they were being captured by another ship. So chief jumped into the lift on the offensive.
I doubt atriox is the ultimate villain, but it was interesting- the pilot seemed to be dreading "them" but 343 was intentionally vague. It could be anything, even a new threat that emerged since H5.
Unless I am mistaken, I did not hear him talk about the native resolution in the video. So I am still uncertain whether the resolution is natively 4K. Personally, I am expecting it might as well be given it is a cutscene. It will be interesting if the game and cutscene were to have resolution parity.
definitely facial, skin and clothing animations are better, lighting maybe current gen
Nah, the experts have spoken, game looks current gen. They should try to get a job at DF with so much knowledge about tech.
Not even 30 really. The geometry detail destroys anything I've ever seen
Looks gorgeous. Probably gonna be mind blowing if they add ray tracing to the mix too.
I'm not a big Halo fan, but that trailer drew me in. If the rest of the game captures that vibe, I'm in.

I hope it's just an old fashioned covie ship encounter. Chief cleans house then grabs the pilot and lands on Halo.
You think Chief would fight a Guardian 1 on 1?It's pretty obvious what it is

I think what's throwing people off and leading to a lot of 'doesn't look that good' is the human character front and center for most of the trailer and not the fidelity of the visuals/tech elsewhere. Currently shown games like Death Stranding, TLoU, Cyberpunk have better models and animations than that.
That's what I think at least.

I find that the character's face really isn't all that impressive in general. If we compare that to several other current gen games like Gears 4 for example....
