How many Sony games did we see gameplay from? Ratchet & Clank? Anything else? I mean please fuck off out of here. All we saw were cinematic sequences and cutscenes most of which didn't appear to elevate much beyond what the PlayStation 4 was already doing.

 

More than Halo Infinite having a bad showing a lot of people are exaggerating the foot that Sony put forward, and trying to dismiss everything else Microsoft has shown. It's not all about Halo, there's a ton more on top of that and we all know it. 

I think the problem is that all these games showcases Microsoft has shown have been completely underwhelming game wise and mostly visually. No one expected 12TFs to look like that. People were even underwhelmed by Sony's event too, but Microsoft's was that much worse that it makes Sony's show look like a masterpiece.

Explain away GT7's engine trailer looking relatively identical to GT Sport and the visual draw and pop in. 

 

You're already digging a hole for yourself. 

Hole? It literally took Halo 3 seconds to stream in the lighting and textures after checking the map.

Was that running on the Series X with the velocity architecture or a PC? Also you're ignoring GT7's draw and pop in completely.

 

How predictable of you.

Gran Turismo 7's overall aesthetic is in line with the most recent Gran Turismo games. It's not going to suddenly change. This is Polyphony's style.

Amazing how this same logic can be repurposed one direction but not another. Interesting.

I don't remember you people saying Halo 5 looked good either, seems consistent, no?

Besides, this isn't 343i's aesthetic, that's Bungie's work. They just took it over.

The Medium was the best looking title at the conference that had some gameplay and it's a 7 million dollar budget indie dev game. It should not be like this.

I agree, and like I said I'm going to wait and see what happens. From the previous stuff they have shown regarding Infinite I believe there's much more to this picture that hasn't been seen yet. I'll say it again, this was a bad showing but that doesn't mean what we saw there is indicative of the whole or what's to come. 

 

While this isn't what I was expecting and not what I am expecting from the actual release, all I see in this image is Halo, and it's striking how much it reminds me of the original game.

I like how the grass completely disappears when the player is panning the camera across the scene.
