7/7/2023 0 Comments Halo infinite xbox series x![]() It's as good as we could realistically hope for, but the 720p lower bounds gives a limited pixel count for Xbox One to resolve fine detail on trees, or even enemies at range. In fairness, 1080p is the norm roaming around the open world, but pitched battles will see noticeable drops to image quality. The vintage 2013 Xbox One and the 2016 Xbox One S refresh target 1080p at 30fps, with dynamic resolution scaling used to ensure the 30fps performance level, ranging from 720p to the target full HD. All four machines - Xbox One, One X, Series S and X - use a dynamic resolution, plus a temporal reconstruction method to boost image clarity within a frame. Starting with base Xbox One, let's go straight for the jugular with performance and resolution stats. When it comes to assessing the base Xbox One, then - it's this expansive part of Halo Infinite that poses the biggest challenge. There's a rolling time of day, randomised cloud coverage, and even volumetric techniques to add depth to the scene. Trees, mountain ranges, enemy bases are rendered to the far distance. ![]() It's here we see the SlipSpace engine pushed hard on every Xbox console. That's juxtaposed with Halo Infinite's brand-new open world. Interior-based in nature and more linear, albeit delivered with a profound improvement in graphical features and fidelity, these missions tend to be less of a stress test for the engine. The initial brace of missions - along with 'dungeon' style levels later on - is what you might call classic Halo. The truth is, Halo Infinite serves up two distinct style of play that have very difficult implications in how the console hardware is put through its paces. Halo Infinite is finally available, bringing with it answers to a question we've been pondering ever since the initial 2018 SlipSpace engine reveal: can this game actually deliver a decent experience on last-gen Xbox hardware? And by extension, if it can, to what extent do you get additional scalability on the still brand-new Xbox Series consoles? The answers are intriguing - particularly when you consider Xbox Series S vs Xbox One X: a genuinely fascinating battle that pits the older, yet more powerful GPU in the Scorpio Engine against a more finely balanced machine in the form of the new junior Xbox.
