343: Halo 5 beta runs at 720p/60FPS, focused on gameplay, not final resolution

No. Just ... No.
1080p with locked 30fps - absolutely take that over 900p, 60fps.

Halo is a FPS (First-person shooter). So, FPS (frames per second) > Resolution.

Works well for Destiny

This generation is so graphically stillborn, it's pathetic.
Why can't you understand that some people like high resolution slideshow shooters?
Good
Framerate over resolution should be the focus for the multiplayer. Get everything nailed down, then optimize.
(I'd be fine with 30fps in single player though
)
Graphics have been incredible in some games.
Are you talking about framerate or resolution maybe? That's a different subject from graphics.

I threw Bungie under the bus because they were the previous developers of Halo, and kept games at 30 FPS. One thing I will say is that there games were almost always locked at 30 FPS. Halo 4 had a shitty frame-rate.
Ideally, yes, 1080p & 60 fps would be nice. No one is arguing we don't want 1080p. We do. But if it cannot be done, I would gladly take 60 fps over 1080p. You wouldn't?
what is happening here
Outside of my PC, I've yet to see that option on anything short of the gen before last.
Try again?
Do people here choose 4K & 1 FPS over 1080 & 60?
I'm glad I'm not the only person bothered by this.
More like 480 60 and 1080 10. Which would you choose?
Don't make dumb non-equivalent comparisons. You're asking people whether they'd take 1/8 res for twice the framerate when the reality is 1/2 res.

I was actually thinking back to this; Yeah, Halo 3 was 640p only, but 640p with DX9/10 level shaders and high FP precision HDR was a huge leap over 480i with DX8 level shaders and lighting. 720p with DX11 and some tessalation is hardly a jump from 640p with DX9.. You see the problem, I hope.

Eh people still complained a ton about how Halo 3 looked back then.
Anyway, this is a beta over a year out from release. If the final release of the game ends up at 792p then you should probably be concerned, but not right now.
Is this a real question?

For some reason I was expecting to be blown away with the graphics in Halo 5 (maybe because Halo 4 looked so good) but this beta has been so disappointing in that regard. Arena 4v4, small maps, no destructibility and this is all they could do? Even for a beta, I think it's very underwhelming.

earlier comments make it sound like they would, so i guess its a valid question

If this game doesnt hit 1080p I wont touch it. Im skipping the beta because I dont do 720p in 2014.
...gamers these days man. Wow.
60 fps is the only number that matters for multiplayer.

If their aiming higher for the final product it's no big deal, is it? We already know the Xone can do better at 60fps (Killer Instinct Season 2, COD: AW).

I'm not even mad. In fact... I'm impressed! Emphasizing 60fps is what more developers need to do.

I'm impressed they're focusing on FPS first, good on them.

60 fps mandate for Halo multiplayer is an interesting change of pace. Should make for an amazingly smooth online experience compared to say, Reach.
They'll probably drop the SP down to a locked 30 to push out more effects and units.

Did they say if the full game would have larger maps with 8v8? I can't imagine a halo game without some form of bloodgulch.

That won't be the final resolution.
Although it could mean 792p like TitanFall. I keed I keed.
I was fine with Titanfall's resolution and i get the feeling Halo 5 will be 792p as well.

Because all other halos been 60..ohh wait...
You're probably dead right with the AW guess. They've shown it can keep a pretty closer to 60 fps at that resolution and they can still plaster on the box 1080 and people that don't know better will believe them.

keep it at 720 and make it smooth as butter.
at least that res is native for some people... .

You sure it has nothing to do with the fact that it scales better? They've been putting 1080p on the box since 360, so I'm pretty sure if they go with AW res is because it works better.
not happening. thank god.

Didn't you know? If the framerate and resolution aren't both the numbers I want, the textures, detail, physics, and AI complexity/variability don't matter at all!
Just people making stupid comments.

Is that gonna be the new standard for betas? Must be 1080p / 60fps or else! lol

Why not both?
Well that's an advantage of course, but if they wanted better scaling they could go with the titanfall res and be fine. With the aw res they get the benefit of possibly the dynamic scaling plus the fact they can say 1080 and being able to say "hey we can match or competitor on this bullet point on our top game" for the people that don't know any better.

1408x792p like titanfall.

hopefully that kind of resolution is a thing of the past, you might as well be 720p at that point.

Persons who think this is going to suddenly jump from 720p 60fps to 900p 60fps over a year are fooling themselves, something has to give. Since Halo5 is going to be a new game on new hardware, they will try to push more effects, use more advanced graphical features and that will task the hardware. People should really turn off the blinders, Halo 2 anniversary runs at a lower resolution than even 900p and that's basically a remaster of an old game, yet, it still dips quite a bit from 60fps in the campaign.
