Meet Craig: Halo Infinite’s flat graphics are already a meme

We saw Halo Infinite at this point, and the globalArray game … perplexed, it may be the word. The Microsoft deyet of the flagship game for the release of Xbox Series X may have gone better, and in a few moments, the Internet lit up when talking about its graphics. It sounds like Halo, of course, but it’s a blessing and a curse when you’re looking to show this as something new and awesome. In general, other people deplore flat, un verbose graphics that simply don’t fit what we expected. For many, this is a degradation even since Halo 5, and that’s a problem.

And in all this, one has emerged.

Craig is the new meme representing Halo Infinite: a flat-faced gray brute with a look on his face that sits somewhere between resolved and “virgin.” It is now circulating on all kinds of social networks, and it is not so flattering for 343 studies. Even when there’s love for Craig, it’s a kind of compassionate love.

To be honest, when I first saw the screenshot, I thought it had been tampered with. Then I went to Youtube to get the headline of this article, and no: it comes from the trailer.

It’s never a smart position for a meme game. We saw it with Assassin’s Creed: Unity, and we saw it with Mass Effect: Andromeda: we know how those two games ended. But in either case, the game was memorized after its release: with Halo Infinite, we still have a few months before shipping.

According to Digital Foudnry’s analysis, much of what makes Halo Infinite seem comes down to lighting: that’s what we mean when we call everything ‘flat’. It doesn’t help that I, and many other video game writers, have seen this breakthrough between the two parts of Sony’s exclusive Ghost of Tsushima, which would possibly have the most productive lighting I’ve ever noticed in a video game.

This gives us some kind of hope. 343 promised that lightning would come in a post-release patch, which especially deserves the lighting effects on the Xbox Series X and the PCs that can handle it.

And beyond that, I think this game looks smart, even smart, moving, even if it still seems a little silly. And that’s the core here: we can’t really make a judgment about this thing, because we don’t play it. We can make a judgment about a revelation, and we can make a judgment on a revelation harshly if necessary. But the game is yet to come. I don’t know if this game will ever be the next generation graphics show that the Xbox Series X needs, but it can definitely be a smart Halo game.
