i was struggling looking on google for a decent gif showing of the real time ones and thought that was from one. still think they look better
How does the games development industry work when it comes to people going and leaving? Do they work on projects for one dev team and leave when its done to new studios or are we looking at MS actively pursuing people they want and possibly buying them out of their contracts or something? There seems to be loads of high level talent joining The Initiative and it's really nice to see but at the same time I'm a bit baffled because it's a new studio with no reputation at all. What would incentivize these people to join?
It's not totally out of the question.
Playground have demonstrated over the the past years that they are able to put out extremely high-quality content in mindblowingly short time frames. I don't know how they manage to do it to be honest.
I don't think it is particularly surprising. These people probably jump from company to company and get 10+% raises each time. Microsoft is probably offering healthy raises to get the people needed to jump start a first party studio.
Better don't say that. Sources are meant to be taken secretive. We don't want anyone to get in trouble.
LA studio = more money yummy
MS is the bigger company and good for your CV also more money
Why would you not wanna work there? Fanboyism? Lol
And for the people asking me about Bungie thingy:
It's wishful thinking but I hope they get back.
edited as soon as I could. I'm naive on this things.
Didn't we see that list yesterday from this linkedin post? Why the article points only one of them?
Punch me a ticket please.All aboard the Hype Infinity?

*** One refresh per day ***
Skin textures and, weirdly, bone structure of the faces, I think. The rest looks similar, but the faces really stand out.
It's crazy what they were able to achieveve on 360 with Halo 4 then on Xbox One they just didn't care enough?
Based on Gears 4 and Halo 5.
Halo 5 looked so goddamn bad before the X. Reminded me of Bungie's atrocious Halo 3 character models and graphics.
Bububu the lightning.
In terms of 1st graphics, I only trust the British (Rare and Playground) to deliver along with The Coalition.
5 came out a year before and focused exclusively on 60fps on a lacking Xbox One console. Gears 4 runs at 30fps in campaign on that same hardware.
If you're talking art style, that's completely subjective.
343 has an awarding winning graphics team for a reason, Halo 4 on 360 and 5 running at a locked 60 on XB1 is very impressive.
Halo is way behind of gears since 2006/7, how this is supposed to be a news?
343 aimed for 60fps across the board. Coalition went for 30fps in the campaign mode.
Old engine problems...
Probably Infinite will looks better than Gears 5.
This makes me wonder...is there a chance they'd release a game ala Metal Gear: Ground Zeroes that's a foundation for a bigger project they'd release later in the gen. I could see that being an option if their intent is to be a small studio that grows organically over time.
I'm insanely hyped for MS' E3 press conference.
So hyped it's almost unbearable.
Like a 6 year old in the 2 weeks before christmas.
Please send help.

It's a 30fps vs 60fps situation, and definitely not something to laugh about, we should applaud 343 for reaching 60fps even on OG XB1.
I think it's fair to say that Coalition have been a level higher than 343 in regards to graphics up until now, but we can't judge what the current 343 team can pull off until we see more of Halo Infinite
I'm not really concerned when it comes to the graphics department of MS' first party games. Most of them look ace. Gears 4, Forza Motorsport and Horizon, even Halo 5 on X...
That's total nonsense. Some corners have been cut to achieve 60 fps, definitely, but in most places Halo 5 still looks good even on the base console. On the X it's gorgeous. Halo 3 was also great for its time in some respects, while lacking in others, but there's nothing in 343i's games as ugly as human characters in Halo 3.
If you would've told me this is CGI ... I would've believed you.
The Coalition will bring the animation / facial expression / general visuals done by XGS to the next level.
looks great
I really hope for Infinite, they have a trailer that shows clips from CE, 2, 3, 4, 5 and then pans up to Chief showing off SlipSpace and the scale and detail available to 343i thanks to the new engine.
Xbox Brasil E3 Schedule:
120 Minutes?
Not surprising if true, there's just so damn much to cover this year
We were discussing cutscenes anyway. And I'll laugh in anyones face that doesn't think Halo 5s real time cutscenes are at least in the same ball park as any on Xbox, gears 5 included
