Awesome, guess my og XB1 still has some life left in it.
Also was wondering about the hog's movement. Glad to know there's a reasoning behind it.
Loving how amazing it all looks so far. Can't wait to see the end result!

Just the OG Xbox One part. I am pretty sure everyone thought it was atleast X or PC.
How much of this new engine is Legacy code? Are there steps being taken to ensure it still feels like Halo?
Yeah, but a great game can overcome that fatigue. God of War is TEN games in and the most recent one has done just fine. It looks like this new Halo is going to change things up and it may get the same great result.
lol, just send some notes to all the freaking mad press about Halo Infinite 2020 on next xbox...
Yes.
BTW I have edited my original post about ten times because apparently I am stupid today. Can't spell, type or string coherent thoughts together.
A guess that comes from a orbital eccentric comet: you can play halo theway you want, graphics look the same, but you choose the gameplay and physicalisation balance from all the various halos. :P
Development Machine = (usually) some PC approximating the target spec. A flat 4K here makes me think PC tbh.
Just to clarify, are you saying that the demo we saw was running on a vanilla X1 dev machine or that the engine is capable of running on a vanilla X1?
he meant that it's an engine built to run on current gen xboxes, Xbox One, S and X.
and not some sort of future gen shenanigan...
probably... but to me seems pretty clear.

The engine CAN run on an Xbox One S.
This is to drop the thought that this engine is for X and Next only.
The lower tier Xboxes will be able to run it.
The Demo was on a dev machine, im sure they have mutliple tiers of Dev machines.
Base, S, X, Next, Fuck....so all we know is that it was a Dev machine likely mimicking an Xbox One X.
I'm aware that you are not a software wizard, but I have a question / concern about the Shadows on the LOD meshes in the background. Can anything be done about that? The weird shading makes the LOD meshes stick out like a sore thumb. I'm no software wizard but I'm sure your wizards can wizard better than I can wizard. If not, I'm sure it wont be as noticeable while playing.
Seeing how easy and amazing the X dev kits are won't be surprised it being used. PG are using the X as their lead dev kit and it shows :)
The latter. I was responding to folks concerned this would be next-gen only.
Our wizards are hard at work. Definitely work in progress but it's really nice to be able to build bespoke systems and tools and techniques for those architectures and more importantly, Halo itself.
...that last of us two has more than double the views in half the time... if your comparing the video on the Xbox channel to the video on the PlayStation channel
Seriously, the engine looks fantastic, can't wait to see more!
The top Halo Infinite video has over 2mil views. I'm sure people are just typing in Halo and viewing the first one to see. Whether it's on the Xbox channel or not doesn't matter. It's the views that show how many are watching the new trailer
Is 60 FPS still a target for gameplay? I know the demo was 60 but that's different from actual gameplay.
When the hog was moving it seemed there was no weight to the vehicle, so this was intentional? like gravity different on halo rings?
Not trying to be cheeky, just generally curious.

Cool video by DF. I understand the focus on graphics, but i really hope that they push way more physics this time around. Halo 4 and 5 are very, very static games.
I would like to see more objects that tumble and fall again, walls that fall apart when shot at and so forth. Interactivity with the gameworld is as important as graphics for me, "simulation" is a great thing.
Maybe even more important when i think about it. I am aware that the CPU´s in current gen consoles are very limiting though :-/

Funny enough I thought the same because of that exact shot.
Turns out I wasn't the only one.
It seems pretty reasonable to assume that there are more people that will casually buy a $60 game on PC hardware they already own than will buy a $3-500 console just to play that game.
Your right. It's basically a pointless dick measuring contest. Nothing but ego boosts for fanboys
Anything can happen, certainly, but let's not forget that Halo 2 and Halo 3 (early on) absolutely ran console online multiplayer. That's a level of clout that Halo might never get back to. It's also, I would say, an era that 343 doesn't seem to be interested in emulating, with what they've chosen to add and subtract from the franchise.
Can probably count on Forge being awesome. #BasedTomFrench
Selling less consoles but more games seems like it can work out. I don't known personally but seems like it can be a decent business decision if they still making money
What is even Horizon and GoW near this engine. Don't do drugs, man.
10 games ?
Theres 4 on ps3
2 on psp
So its the 7th
Unless you're counting the remasters to.
Thank for the answers.
Now, online will it bring it back to Halo 2/3 style of gameplay?
Really excited for this one, seems like a reboot to the series ala God of War.
Can you clarify your statement yesterday regarding the "two" incorrect rumors? More specifically, the rumor that campaign and multiplayer are being released separately? https://www.resetera.com/threads/br...ive-at-the-earliest-in-2019-mp-in-2020.48268/
Holy shit!
Halo 4 did things I didn't think the 360 was capable of, looks like this will be a repeat performance.
