Why are people using magazine scans to say the game barely looks better than Halo 4 then? Even if it's a bullshot, anyone with eyes can see the superiority of the image over what Halo 4 bullshots were.
Xbox one may be weaker than PS4, but these consoles are a metric fuckton better than what the Xbox 360 was. They should easily be able to smash what they achieved with Halo 4. I can't wait.
But a lot of that power is already going to 60fps, and getting as close to 1080p as possible. Then on top of that, they are probably doing a lot more open world level design to accommodate bigger battles and what not....
I'm just saying that we should keep our expectations in check.
The reason the game doesn't look significantly different is probably because the art style is mostly the same. However there a LOT of improvements to the game from Halo 4 such as the lighting, character models, and the AA. Combine that with 60 FPS and Halo 5 is looking gorgeous.
I agree, the artstyle is very similar, but I do notice a lot of subtle improvements to the lighting and what not. Also the ingame character models should be a big improvement over last gen.
So far I am content with what we have seen. The most important thing to me is whether or not the gameplay and level design will be as good as they are making it sound. I love the idea of making the levels less linear.
