343 industries announced that Halo Infinite will now release in the fall of 2021. Besides the COVID-19 pandemic playing an obvious part in this delay, the creators said that this is being done to refine the game. So what kind of updates are the devs talking about?
When the gameplay trailer of Halo Infinite was rolled out, the game looked ordinary at best. The graphics weren’t convincing. At that time it was believed that Halo will be the launch title of Microsoft’s next-gen console.
But by no means did the game set benchmarks that a next-gen game should.
Poor lighting and visual details were exposed and therefore the game was criticized and made fun of. It would be a shame if the legacy of Halo was destroyed due to rushing an upcoming game. Therefore, it was a wise decision to delay Infinite’s launch.
With the release date moved to 2021, Halo Infinite will hit the markets with enhanced graphics. Moreover, bugs and glitches will be removed to make its gameplay a smooth ride.
One of the few things that were made fun of was an NPC named Craig. As shown in the demo, his face was as blank as a stone. Games these days need to capture emotions perfectly; Something that Halo failed to do here.
Talking about the issues, creators have given an explanation that the NPC was not meant to be a part of the demo and was a work in progress. Now, the creation of Craig is complete. Consequently, he has a well-detailed face with plenty of hair and beard styles to choose from.
It is also said that devs will give a modern twist to the visuals Halo is known to carry. This way, the game will fit right in with other next-gen games while doing what it does best!
