I mean, of course the games will look better, but whats more important is that the new games have gameplay and stories on par with the original trilogy.
Hell, I’d take going back to mid 2000’s graphics if it mean we also got that caliber of Halo games.
Time will tell if this rebranded Halo studio can do that, or if it’s just more of the same 343 slop.

Doesn’t matter if the gameplay, level design and story of the new halo continues to be developed by the same people that made 4, 5 and infinite.
Pretty graphics only go so far

I predict the performance of whatever this is will be awful. UE5 + developers who have not shipped a game with it before always ends badly.

I feel like things are just improving in one dimension (graphics), whereas most people would of thought we would approach something closer to Ready Player One by now

Graphics were not the problem

I dont get it. Is ue5 meant to look better?
Halo 3 runs smashingly on my steamdeck, as does Halo 2 anniversary. Any UE5 game will run like ass by comparison.

Halo campaigns are always great fun.

Halo 3, the best that i played in my entire life

Would it not be a more honest comparison to compare UE5 to the slipstream engine graphics from infinite?

We all know that shit is gonna run at 40-50 fps max.

Why is the comparison from Halo 3? That game is pretty old.

Honestly give me Halo 2 or 3 visuals, I couldn’t care less.
What mattered for me and many, many others _wasn’t_ how pretty it was, but the experience itself.
Decent narrative, good voice acting, a story that made sense and characters we could gel with. The recipe was absolutely there and I was _loving_ the cake baked over years from the Halo through to ODST.
It’s no coincidence that the fans all got confused and it received such mixed/poor ratings when someone decided the slip a dead rat, cockroaches and a handful of fleas into the mix by doing things that weren’t asked for, properly considered or adequately tested or quality controlled to ensure it’s a deliverable the fans will want.
There’s a _reason_ ODST was hugely popular, there’s a _reason_ why Reach was received well – atmosphere, story, characters etc – you mix them right and not like water and oil alone it’s no shock people loved it.

I just want better gameplay. The games have barely improved if at all since the original game it’s crazy

doesn’t really matter what it looks like if it’s broken or gameplay and/or story is shit

Just take me back to Halo 3 midnight release queuing up for the game and controller and then getting up for school the next day.
