I will take 60fps thx.
Graphics are needed sure. But I would rather play a game than watch a game for the most part.
To me graphics mean: Better and bigger levels, better AI, Scale, environment, Sandbox, Sound, length, 60fps, Etc.
Not only good looking main character or corridor levels.
Because H2A campaign was 1328*1080p @60FPS and Halo 5 looks easily better in terms of IQ. Would be nice, but I doubt it will be real 1080p.
OMG the Noble Armor looks amazing! Already loved Carters Armor in Reach
That Hexagon visor.
Also, what's up with those silly watermarks? Putting HaloOrbit's over RUL's? Wished people would just stop putting any watermarks on those pictures. It's not like they are yours anyway. Just my 2 cents.

aka better graphics and tech.
So?
And expecting a bit better than H4 isnt wrong. Xbone Hardware is probably a issue.
I will be happy if the maps are massive etc.
But we have to wait until monday i guess.
Yup its pathetic
Dont get fooled by downsampled screenshots
The old Beta is a better indication. I hope they eliminated that Aliasing and got to 900p at least.Well you are watching the game as you're playing it.
And I agree with the second part, except... sound? That's why I'm excited to see the SP gameplay at E3. I'm hoping for a lot of shit on screen with physics and particles all over the place.
I'll take bigger scale and a better sandbox with fun ideas any day over better graphics. Halo 4 made the mistake of going for eye candy among other things.
They need to vastly improve crawlers, watchers etc. and those similar Promethean weapons, they suck. Take them out if you can't.

Halo 2 sub 1080p reason:
"the campaign portion of Halo 2 Anniversary doesn't actually operate at a native 1080p which is no doubt the result of running two rendering engines simultaneously. "
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-halo-2-anniversary-tech-analysis
Halo 5 has only one rendering engines, i think the 1080p is not impossible.

Resolution is the only thing they haven't committed on, and I doubt they'd commit so hard to 60fps for this release if it meant being 720p, when everyone was perfectly ok that the previous iterations were 30fps. So I'm betting it's more likely to be around 900p.

I'm still hoping Mickey'll show up.

Yeah, what we've heard makes the game sound far bigger than 4, that plus it being 60fps makes it easy to figure out why it looks like it does. That being said I wish they could have at least gotten more realistic materials, nothing really looks very "real", I've been spoiled by games with outstanding PBR.
They really nailed the Chief's design for 5. Pet peeve, and I loved the fidelity of Halo 4, but MC's under armour was distracting and in some places it looked like he was wearing odd bulky plates. I prefer the armour to be more balanced in proportion, at least from an artistic standpoint.

Have you read New Blood?
Mickey is a traitorous scumbag IMO who's now rotting in a prison cell. Wish Buck would've killed him.

Not sure how you get that from her look at all. Not to mention her depiction in Escalation is absolutely nothing like that or anything like Palmer.

Yes it is.
Especially with the XboxOne.
They already had to cut Resolution for a Remaster. Massive Scale games like Battlefield always run at a low resolution. CoD still wont hit 1080p etc etc... sry but it wont happen.
Give me 900p or that H2A solution. But no 720p please-
But enough of that tech talk
H2A MP is full 1080p.Yes it is.

Halo 4 is full 1080p.
Only H2A campaign is less and that's because it's rendering two images simultaneously.

How many games are 720p for the XB1 in this year? there is no way Halo 5 is 720. And for your information the H2A runs multiple graphic motors

Lol this is your argument? Really? a 360 game and a multiplayer that is based of the h4 engine aka 360? And H2A struggles a lot with with framerate.
Sry buddy, not going to happen.
Do you really think that i dont know that? Still doest change the fact that XboxOne struggles a lot. I havent said that there will be 720p games this year. (Who knows maybe Battlefront again)
And until 343 says that they bumped the resolution i wont believe in 1080p or so.
Yes it is.

It certainly isn't impossible. Just not likely with the level of fidelity they'd like elsewhere.

It looks great except for the way too big honeycombing on the visor, they should really make it a lot smaller.
Excellent, good to know.

So you're saying that 1080p is impossible on Xbox One?
ROFL
Halo 4 is a good looking game, but for it to look like it did 343i sacrificed a lot of things seen in previous Halo games.
In Halo 3 and Reach we see some massive open environments, Halo 4 really didn't have that. For the most part it was a corridor shooter.
In previous games we see a gorgeous 3D skybox. Seriously, Google Halo Skybox. You'll see some beautiful pictures. In Halo 4 343 used a 2D cutout as a backdrop on levels.
Halo 4 probably had the worst water physics in the 360 franchise.
HDR is gone (compared to Halo 3s/4s)
Framerate drops

I am not dismissing nice graphics. I place primacy on gameplay and fun, then graphics.
This idea that the graphics on Halo 4 is just slightly inferior to what we will get for Halo 5 is unsubstantiated and really should stop.
-The sample size of material is small as of today.
Anyways, lets wait until E3 then the fur can fly
So, Didact confirmed to be coming back? It wouldn't be a surprise but I was kinda hoping they would save him for Halo 6 and Jul to be the main bad guy in Halo 5.
That doesn't look like the Didact.

This screenshot really encapsulates the game's graphical issues perfectly.
EDIT:
Holy shit, the grunts faces look hilariously ugly
I mean it's great that they have them shells on their arms again, but they basically took the bad Halo 4 heads and made them look hilarious.
Just give me the Reach head please..
Everything is highpoly and relatively detailed, but none of the materials look like anything.

I hope not. Halo: Escalation spoiler:
Blue Team killed him again supposedly for good. It would be weird if he showed up a third time.

So it just a few YouTube channels who have seen stuff? It's a bit unclear.
Will hopefully take a proper look at the stuff this evening, a greater breakdown of how the Prometheans are looking.
Are they automated defence foes, or are they being led by the composed Didact? Is that interesting? Kind of an odd villain, but potentially a more personal one?
I look forward to your review.

Forerunner symbol as avatar, already sure campaign is great without having touched or seen it.I am sure, the campaign is great. (BTW, I get the game for free, becuse i write a review about Halo 5.

Chief even says Didact is just contained. No way he is dead
I count 36 bullets per mag
He got composed, so we don't know what that actually means for him. Composed humans are Promethean Knights for example.

That Didact mask reminds me of a hellghast from killzone xD
This is a really nice screenshot:
That looks actually amazing. Very clean and futuristic.
