Halo Infinite - Campaign Hands-on Previews

Nailed it

They even have provsions that reviewers aren’t allowed to spoil certain things in their reviews before the game’s release

This is very cool. Educational. They have to start behaving like an fmcg company or borrow marketing tactics from Netflix or Disney Hotstar or Amazon India.

Amazon India is a good example how to focus on India and even make Bezos focus on a sleeping giant marketplace.

Where’s the conspiracy.

Some concerns regarding the recent performance leaks. Gamespot article here

They said quality mode is dynamic 4k and up to 60. And then 1080p 120

Now surely it’s gotta be locked 60. Otherwise why have a 120 made if quality mode can’t hit 60. I’m hoping it can be near locked 60. Couldn’t Gove a shit about 4k as the game even in MP at 1440p looks amazing.

Series s doesn’t go above 1080 it seems.

In the first 4 levels I’ve played both quality and performance and performance does not look 1080 to me, definitely lower than quality but it’s not fuzzy.

I mean, you made a series of ridiculous posts directly insulting people that you don’t actually know after just coming off a ban for similar behavior. You honestly think that people covering this stuff are planning things out like this? The honest answer is nowhere near as sexy as you’d like to think.

I think this is the price to pay for it being cross-gen, I do believe we should see performance increases as time goes by though, like moving the engine to fully support the current gen and all it’s bells and whistles.

Oh I’m most definitely going for quality mode.

You mean Series X?

This is still based on DF’s analysis, not final code (although it might as well be, who knows). The MP technical preview got better in two weeks time, let’s hope the campaign can also get better than that. Sereis S especially shouldn’t be anywhere under 1080p/60

I am playing on Series X, yes. I’m not saying it isn’t running at 1080 but whatever they’re doing it doesn’t look like it.

And quality mode? Did that look dynamic 4K to you? I don’t need a full native 4K if that means sacrificing other things but dynamic should be doable.

People wouldn’t be able to tell the difference without DF telling them :slight_smile: pixel counts are getting more irrelevant with time

It is gorgeous. My gaming monitor is 1440p. the quality vs. performance modes are more noticeable on a larger tv of course.

Yeah, absolutely. I’m definitely going for quality mode. 60fps is perfect for me. I don’t need 120fps in campaign, hell I don’t even need it in MP. It’s not a game changer for me personally.

I wonder if One X has a 60Hz mode in Campaign due to the fact that the SX has a 120Hz mode…seeing how I can’t find a SX in normal prices I’d probably play the game on my One X so a 60Hz option would be great news.

Which performance leaks?

I honestly think that article in particular is just reproducing what DF said.

:thinking:

Why would any rational person have this concern? What games show off all their characters/plot/settings/mechanics in the first few hrs and then do nothing with the other 20 hrs that follow? o.0

So many games to throw under that bus… but far off topic for Halo Infinite campaign discussion. :rofl:

In the extra life segment Phil talked about how he loves that this is a canvas to keep telling new stories on. Joe Staten is already teasing DLC scripts. It’s pretty obvious we’ll be going all over this ring throughout the generation.
