According to pre-release comments from Aaron Greenberg, Halo Infinite would be a "visual showcase", is it the case?

Halo 5 looked better.
Very strange game overall. Gunplay good but plagued by well known technical issues, skeletal content, glacially paced roadmap. I still don’t understand what went wrong or why (apart from incompetence).
How do you fumble it so badly? If they launched with remastered versions of Guardian, The Pit, Valhalla, Construct and Sandtrap no Halo fan would have complained about content.

That was always gaslighting they never thought it was good looking.The game looked awful and the main issue is that MS thought it looked good proving how clueless they are.

It looks good but not amazing. I don't think I've ever been wow'd by a Halo game's graphics. But that hasn't stopped me from dumping hundreds of hours into the franchise over the decades.

It was a showcase for the 1.4 TF Xbox One, sure.

Most disappointing Halo game in terms of visuals, ever.
There is an unwritten rule that there has to be at least one GAF thread a week to shit on Halo Infinite.

Really? I always found Halo 3 insanely ugly for its time. Isn't that why they upgraded their tech so much for Reach?

I'd argue I generally like Infinite. But it's visual's were nothing more than adequate in my opinion. They were not bad at all, but not the "visual showcase" one would expect from a flagship title. It def. didn't reflect it's budget or development time.

I always thought Halo 3 looked great. It was a little rough around the edges but it was and away from anything qualifying as ugly. Not even close.

Yeah, especially at release, Halo 3 looked fantastic. Not the best thing on the market, but def. in the conversation at the time. It's water was notably great.

To be fair.... Game was kinda a wet fart at release. It wasn't outright bad, but it was a pale shadow of it's former self.

I agree
But OP knew exactly what he was doing with his post
Its like taking one of Todd Howard's quotes and making a thread named "So according to TH, Fallout 76 would have 16x the detail. Do you agree?"
Greenberg is known for lying just as much as Todd

Game looked fine, but it was obvious the execs had no idea how much struggle the game was going through behind the scenes considering what they put out for their first look gameplay.
Edit: if we had received that slipspace teaser game I think this would be a different outcome, but yeah we all know how it turned out
This still looks awesome, shame we never got anything close to it

The mistake was continuing to use the Bungie Blam engine as the base technology rather than writing everything from the ground up or using a different engine entirely. I'm hoping going forward (given its been retooled for another genre) that ForzaTech will be used by other teams within Xbox, or UE5.
