I wish there were some way to filter out all graphics bickering on GAF. I really really don't care. Let's talk announcements + gameplay!

What if they announce resolution? That would be an announcement.


I too don't care for all graphics talk but it has its place.

We could do it by filtering words out. Just need to make a little space in the GAF UI for a plugin and- OH GOD WHY CAN'T I STOP?
 
What i dont get is why would there be a meltdown if the game doesn't reach 1080p, just
look at BF4 and others running at 60fps. Its a IQ sacrifice for better gameplay.

Is there anymore though? I mean, people totally were, but seems like we're just talking in circles about how it doesn't matter in a bid to kill time until monday shows up.

The lady commentator on Fox Sports has some serious attitude, it's sort of hilarious. Puts up with no shit from the other guys.
 
What if Halo 5 out-battlefronts Battlefront??

"Space battles? We got those..." O.O

I think it'll be more in line with what Bungie wanted to do in Reach which is Global Battle. Excited to see what they can pull off.

Yeah, I'm expecting something like that. Space battles don't make sense to me. The ground combat and space combat would be too separate, too disjointed. But including large vehicles like Scarabs and Pelicans could work really well.

Why would WE say that? What a ludicrous thing for any Dev to say. A combination of vain and irrational that only a fanbot would even come up with.

Please tell us that you have compensated for the black crush though?? I was playing H2A earlier (looks nice, and I think it's a given that H5 will look even better... mops brow), and there was some parts that were really dark.

Yeah, I was trying to play H4 campaign the other day and couldn't see jack. The lack of in-game brightness settings don't help.

No Offense Stinkles, I haven't followed halo 5 much , even though I have mcc collection . Just saw all the post on res, and graphics and thought it was relevant do discussion . I should have read better , don't realize it was hhg quote instead of 343

Yeah I was quite surprised by the lack of a brightness setting as well.

Man I do hope that this has been taken into account. Or better yet, Microsoft fix this

While I can't/won't speak for him I can't imagine anyone in this type of situation won't have at least some nerves I think it's just natural. Unless you blaze it up all day every day.

The only reason I asked that is because this is really their first Halo game free of Bungie' story arc. Halo' story going forward is all on them now, I'd imagine the pressure may be worse now then it was during the development of Halo 4, at least with Halo 4 they had something to work off of.

And I'm pretty sure that shitstorm comes with lot of fake concern from people who weren't gonna purchase game anyway.

No kidding. This is what pisses me off the most. Half the people complaining at times don't even have the console let alone were gonna buy the game. Just doing the drive by concern trolling.

You can be disappointed if the numbers/resolution aren't what you want, sure. But why? I agree visual fidelity is an important part of games, but this arbitrary distinction between less than 1080p is a let down I just don't get. Look at what we came from. If the game looks, plays, does everything better than the previous iteration that should be the only way to judge the game.

Cant wait for Monday myself. Just because I want to see it running in action. The campaign level they're gonna show etc. See more multi-player impressions and screens.

I love seeing all the "genuine" concern from "huge fans" with PSN network ids who've never once posted in a Halo thread. And I don't just mean Halo. You see the same thing every E3 across all formats and big games.

1360x1080 @ 60FPS + some form of SMAA. Image quality should be straight if that's the way 343 wants to go.

If they can't get 1080pr, then 900p is also fine. Just make sure the frame-rate is solid and please use a decent post-AA solution. In the end though, it doesn't really matter to me. Day 1 purchase right here!

Can't wait for E3! :D

I really dont think I have any concerns on the outcome of the final resolution, judging from Halo 4 I think it's a safe bet the game is going to look really freaking good regardless of what resolution its running at. Hell I'm not really all that concerned about the FPS is long as its stable and smooth.

on that note, Stinkles can you comment at all on how the frame rate is holding up in these later days of development?

Pretty much, have been observing that same trend for a while now.

Can't wait for the conference. Regardless of how how awesome Hunt the Truth is, I am still curious as to what we will be actually facing in the game. Bring on the lore, and give it to me juicy.
 
I'm concerned with the framerate more than I am with the resolution. 30fps vs 60fps is a debate i'd rather steer clear of (although i'm glad Halo is 60fps now), but MCC struggles to maintain consistency with that. Forge in particular is plagued with issues and it put me off of the entire thing.

As long as 343 hits it out of the park with Forge, I can see myself putting a ridiculous amount of time into Halo 5.

Yup. I just hate these people who don't even have an Xbox (and never had one) but try to look like "disappointed old Halo experts" and they just keep complaining about things that anyone gives a shit about.

Sprinkles will eat your flesh.

I'm glad you took that as a joke. Actually, I was worried that I could have offended you lol (still, I made it. What a masochist I am)

SPRINKLES!
SPINGLE!
SPUNGIE!

I hate the focusing on the one negative at the expense of all the positive. It's not just Halo, and we all do it. I'm trying not to do it myself anymore. It just ruins any hype, any fun you can have.

Like you said, this happens across games/platforms/exclusives and it's truly draining.

I'm interested to see how/if the events of Hunt the Truth will be referenced in the main game...guess we'll know more after the finale tomorrow.

Uh-oh! Stinkles is laying down that GAF-patented O'Connor smack down.

On a lighter note, just a day and a half until we get to see some Campaign footage of Halo 5. And I cannot be more excited then I currently am.

But Madness, that is the GAF way!

Yeah, nothing's perfect, and there's plenty of merit towards discussing things that you aren't happy with (otherwise nothing ever gets changed). There's a point, though, where it just kills any enjoyment you're having with your hobby. I've been making an effort towards being more positive myself as of late.

I need to ask a question boss. Why has Halo never had bots for multiplayer? It would really help with online achievements that become impossible to get when the population dies off and also if servers are shut down. It's one of the best parts of Gears. I really think Halo should have them.
