  • Here I am comparing Metroid Prime 4 to Halo 5. Why? Well because it was a better match than Halo infinite due to the environments being vastly different... I found this comparison a lot of fun and if you'd like another Metroid and halo standoff then comment below, I'll compare another for you.

    Halo 5 is going to look better because its made for hardware closer to the switch 2. but its interesting to see the switch hold its own here.

      you're right though It's very interesting to see how close switch 1 got to Halo 5 in the areas it did, I mean prime 4 looking modern enough to get people having these kind of conversations is fascinating for switch hardware to say the least.

    damn Metroid prime 4 looks great... but the xbox just has too much power behind it relative to the switch. still think Metroid will be a far superior game though

    There's a lot more intricate detail in Halo 5 but Metroid works hard with it's art style, it's to the point that Halo 5 just doesn't look like it's on hardware 4x the power of the Switch.

      Couldn't have worded it better myself and It appears they've even went a step further with this than prime remastered. However it's been done. It certainly gives off the appearance of much higher graphics fidelity than other games on the platform..

      @@RyzenZegend Yeah that rumored 4 Teraflops and dlss whatever version would be a multi generational jump for Nintendo. I can't even begin to imagine what kinda graphics potential we're talking, it'd at least be on par with Series S in terms of GPU power, maybe even more ram than it... lol I would like to see that crossover happen, but I'd feel bad that Master Chief would have to beat up on Samus in combat. I grew up with Metroid so no bias I promise lol, it's just nobody can beat Chief... nah seriously though I wish we could see that happen too.

      The best example for this is gears 3, gears judgement day and halo 4...great art style... I don't get why xbox doesn't stick to halo 4 art style..

    Both games are incredible, but I admire Metroid Prime more because of the attention to detail.

    This is genuinely a great comparison and I'm glad to see it. Especially for the people old enough to remember that going all the way back to the early 2000s, Metroid Prime and Halo have ALWAYS been compared in conversation. Even with the short trailer we were given you can see just how much Retro Studios is pushing the Switch. To a limit most people probably didn't think was possible. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond hype is real! lol

      " Prime 4 also runs on the same engine as The Last of Us part 1." No, Prime 4 is using the Prime Remastered engine, which is just a heavily upgraded Prime OG engine, aka also the Donkey Kong engine, aka what is internally known as their proprietary 'RUDE' engine. Look up on UA-cam 'details of retro studios game engine'.

    @daftcruz 3 місяці тому +2

    Good idea for a video, not a fair comparison though.
    The video you used for Halo 5 is running at 60FPS, while the one for Prime 4 is running at 30FPS.
    Also the encode on Prime 4 is worse, so it looks much more blurrier.
    Anyway, Halo 5 wins of course, since is running in a console with higher specs than the Switch.
    Halo 4, on the other hand, looks similar, but with worse resolution and framerate (30 vs 60).

    • @Emerald-Bearer

      Would've certainly been nice to capture Prime 4 like I could Halo 5, but with what we do have available at the moment. I still figured it'd make for a fun comparison.. but yes everyone should take all your points into account when watching this.... Halo 4 was my first choice actually, but I thought I'd set the bar a little higher, give it a "how close did it get" approach.

    Halo 5 was so bad. From the nothing story, to the terrible boss encounter that they copied & pasted throughout the campaign, to the large but often empty levels, it just didn't deliver on a single thing outside of graphics and combat.

    • @Emerald-Bearer

      What'd you think about character personalities in it and do you think the characters motives were still interesting in it? I only ask because Halo 5 was the first one I actually finished the campaign of and it alone did actually make me a fan of the series. I found master chief to be extremely cool and the whole idea of the spartans, the factions within it all, lots of drama was going down with Chief and Cortana that I was all of a sudden being introduced to.. back in the day I had only ever played multiplayer in halo, so I don't have a 20 year connection to the campaigns that someone like you probably has...anyways I'm just curious as to why it got me into the series, while the really big halo fans strongly disliked it, like maybe you'd still think the characters are cool and interesting?, aside from not liking the story of Halo 5 or just about anything else..
