343: Halo 5 beta runs at 720p/60FPS, focused on gameplay, not final resolution
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
I think that 900p w/60 FPS will be the safest bet. If they try to push for Native 1080p w/60 FPS, then I believe that the game will stutter in framerates, etc.
True, I purchased my XBO expecting most titles at 900p, and really for exclusives. It is what it is.

720p is HD.
It is absolute fine with me for the BETA only having 720P. For the final game, I would prefer full 1080p, but if it is impossible, then please give us at least the dynamic 1080p like COD:AW.
And look those trolls in this tread. They never be interested in buying Xbox One or Halo, but they just want to come in this tread to troll.

I have no doubt the final release will have dynamic resolution with 1080 horizontal lines. The question is, what will the minimum vertical resolution be and why does it even matter?

Didn't they say back in 2013 the game would be 1080p/60fps or just 60fps?
Considering how far out this game is this is a real beta. Not the marketing shit we mostly see these days. Imagine if you saw most major shooters a year before launch, I doubt the resolution and general optimization would be great.
This isn't destiny 'alpha' 2-3 months before launch.

I really don't agree with you.

Seems perfectly reasonable.

I... Don't think I would care to much if Halo had reduced resolution or even graphics for that matter. I think the fun aspect of the game and the making sure there is no lag in the movement is more important than how it looks. I've never played Halo before but it was always a game that never looked good, but played good. Graphics and resolution would be the last thing that would be an issue. Overall, I'm ok with this...

I'm not surprised. They always stepped around mentioning 1080p.

They said that the mysterious "Halo on Xbox One in 2014", which was MCC, is 1080p60.
One year before release 720p60 is ok. Really hope they can achieve the dynamic resolution like AW for the final game. The IQ of AW is great.

There are hundreds , maybe thousands of native 900p displays. They are just not TV's.

you know what? I wouldn't even care if it stayed 720p. If they could add some extra lighting effects and other small details, while keeping large environments and such, i think that's just fine.

First ADS now this? Not good 
343i has killed pretty much all my interest in the Halo franchise since they took over..
My PC monitor is 1440x900.

Relax, it'll be more than just Native 720p by next year.
Just hope that future games don't get demanding graphically, or it's going to wind up being the result.

For Halo, stuff like effects, lighting, and physics are things more important to me. I'd be content with a rez tradeoff if they nail them well. I'd be disappointed if they skimp on them just for rez's sake.

Nowhere in the article do they quote any 343i person saying 1080p.
Only 60fps.
Ive yet to see one quote from 343i saying 1080p.
No.
They said at E3 was that it was 60fps and has dedicated servers. They noted the same in the beta trailer that was released too.

And it is.
They're taking about a halo game coming out in 2014. That game does indeed run at 1080p.
Even if they said Halo 5 was 1080p and it turns out not to be, so what? Things change.
This obsession with resolution is crazy.

The game needs to be 60fps to be a classic in my opinion.

Not just a beta, but a beta for game that won't come out for a year.

Why would anyone have a meltdown over the resolution of a beta for a game that's still over a year away from release?

Good, 343i can deliver pretty pictures they've shown that with H4( even though I don't really agree with some graphic choices). 343i's priority should be gameplay, good to hear them say that it is.
Guess my previous monitor didn't exist and I imagined everything I did on that.
An actual beta from a developer. Cannot fault 343 for wanting to focus on gameplay first and foremost in this test. Not a demo where everything is set in stone and they say beta to make people feel special.
Gameplay will speak for itself in the long run and that is what will keep the game alive.

With some of the posts in here, seems there's some seriously selective reading happening.
Halo 5 runs at 720p is what I assume some people are seeing and are then rushing to post based on what they think they just read.
Only explanation...

That's fine, I actually don't mind having the game under 1080p while it performs solid 60fps.
Is it Holiday 2015? Man. Could have sworn it was 2014 yesterday. Time sure does go by fast.
Makes sense to me. I felt gameplay wasnt as good in Halo 4 and i believe a contributing factor was putting being "pretty" too high as a priority and competing with Sony first party like GoW and Uncharted on the visual stakes.
They need to nail gameplay for Halo 5 IMHO then make it perform as well as possible without sacrificing that gameplay. If they under deliver again then ill be done with Halo and really my main driver to eventualky pick up an Xbox.
Halo 5 needs to be a return to form after the disappointing Halo 4 and the rapid loss of interest in its MP.

As usual the console warring folk crawl out to mock this, yet I don't see anything wrong with what they have done so far. They have openly discussed the low resolution but strong frame rate, claim to only be half way through development and focused on gameplay, all while confirming that this isn't the final resolution. That seems perfectly fine. Far better than the obfuscation that goes on with other console games

Given that they've not once uttered 1080p in regard to this game I'd say it's probably not something they're targeting.
Prove me wrong folks, prove me wrong.
Don't see the problem with beta resolution and it seems they do want to improve for final release.
I'm more worried about the overall graphics tbh. They don't look quite a leap over H4 as I was hoping it'd be. That on top of the proposed gameplay (though I'll wait on beta impressions before I condemn it for ADS)

I'm fine if they can get it down to 900p/60fps. Locked 60fps would be ideal.
