The first footage of Halo Infinite game, to put it mildly, did not stand up well to the players, but there are signs of progress. 343 Industries and Microsoft have shared a new series of screenshots that give you an idea of how the Xbox Series X / S title footage has evolved over the past few months. Although there are no real character studies (“Craig” is nowhere to be found), the Zeta Halo-inspired Pacific Northwest environment looks a little grimmer, more realistic and … well, more next generation.
Never ending is characterized as a ‘spiritual recharge’ whose art and mechanics are meant to recreate the feeling of early play Halo games, even if they (hopefully) push the series forward. This includes redesigning enemies like Jackals and Grunts to look more like their original versions, artist Justin Dinges said. With that said, there are clearly touches that benefit from modern hardware, such as an environmental lighting system that can change the atmosphere based on the time of day.
The delayed and upset title is now being placed in the fall. It is not clear how much is new HaloThe graphics would have improved by that time, but it’s clear that 343 and Microsoft want the next generation debut in the series to get the right visual notes.
