You get used to it. It mainly happens in halo/forza/gears threads. Just look for every 5th post and it's usually worthwhile, ignore the troll posts.

Happens in every xbox exclusive thread not just halo/forza/gears. It's why I don't bother to post in them and barely read them. It's not worth the time nor effort to post among 500 shit posts calling it an original xbox game or whatever.

Click any xbox exclusive thread (halo, crackdown, forza, quantum break.. whatever), any random page and you'll find multiple shit posts. The downplaying of xbox exclusives is ridiculous. Fair enough if they aren't your cup of tea or you don't like them but to come into these threads and blatantly shit talk them calling them original xbox games or whatever is just absurd.

The differences between Halo 5 and a last gen game are clear as night and day, on top of that it's running at 60FPS and supposedly has much larger areas than Halo 4. It's an improvement all round, whether the game is good or not we'll find out in a month but graphically it's very good for what it's trying to do. Glad to hear it's virtually a locked 60.

I want another analysis that shows some frame drops. I just watched the kill zone one and it was like watching an ocean with all the blue waves. Has nxgamer got a hold of any footage? DFsays in the video that frames dropped a few times, yet doesn't show it. Something's fishy. I want a redo.

...What?

You think DF is lying?

Yes...Dropping a couple of frames from a sample size of ~1/2 a million is a great cause for concern.

It's weird that they mention these framedrops and don't show them, but then again... They showed us where they drop in an other video. I guess it mostly still occurs during loading zones, like the elevator part on the Blue Team mission in this video (1st 30'ish seconds). That was the Gamescom build, though and could have been fixed already, who knows. Even if it isn't fixed. it really doesn't matter, as it doesn't impact the gameplay in that moment.

The only thing that will really matter, is their analysis of the final game. I'm looking forward to that, but I'll watch it after I've played the game myself, to see if I noticed anything weird, without being biased.

I'm pretty confident from a technical perspective, but I'm still a little sceptical about the overall gameplay. Just want great gameplay.

Did you not hear the part where they said there were "a few dropped frames over hundred's of gigs of footage"?

Why you gotta try and pick that shit apart?

Because dynamic resolution and minor drops are the only bad things so far about Halo 5, however minor. It is set to be a game of the year candidate, so people gotta overexagerate when criticizing it.

This is a tech thread, I thought that was the point? Looking at a horizontal line isn't fun. I need to see a wave.

Damn. The concern in this thread is real.

Everything looks great except the questionable animation quality. It seems like after a certain point (distance), the quality of the animations on enemies becomes drastically reduced. Almost like some sort of LOD system for animations that is cutting out frames the farther away you are from them.It looks really strange, almost like they are 30 fps animations in a 60 fps game.
You can see it when the player is shooting at the enemy Elite about 2:45 in. Anybody have an idea of what I'm seeing? Does doing this take load off the cpu or something?

It's a minor thing but eh. Otherwise it looks like it will be great, can't wait to see blue team in action, and the framerate looks fantastically solid.

That's the first thing I noticed. It's very distracting and jarring. It's like I'm back to playing Quake 1 where enemies animated at a lower framerate than the rest of the game.

It happens more the farther the enemies are, I've experienced this in Strider and Resogun. I really hope this doesn't become a trend.

Uhu, concern sure is real.

PS4 game has a solid framerate: oh cool that looks nice
XBO game has a solid framerate: i demand a recount, it's pretty clear DF is being moneyhatted by MS at this point

Yeah I don't get it mate. Shocking to me as it's literally every single exclusive thread. You know it is going to happen before you even get in one of them.

This one was derailed 4 posts in and there are still people on this page saying DF are lying or not doing their job correctly.

 

[Lanrutcon]

This will be a GOTY contender

Probably not. There are multiplat contenders already, and they'll destroy exclusives in the voting simply by having a wider audience.

You forgot the part where "Halo was fine at 30fps, it's not gonna sell any better at 60, they should go back to 30fps" part.

In public voting, sure. Game vs game from websites though (IGN, Gamespot, Polygon, Giantbomb, etc.), if the story is well told in the campaign, it'll definitely stand a chance.

What if....wait for it....it was a horizontal line 99.9% of the time?

 

[RyudBoy]

The "Halo 5 looks like a 360 game" comments are the best. Just like Quantum Break looks like something from the old console.

Keep 'em coming.

True, true.

You forgot the part where graphics affect gameplay more than frame-rate.

I need a Halo 4 vs. Halo 5 graphics comparison. Anybody?

Not a real comparison, but I'm sure somebody will make one:

Just laugh it off whenever you see hyperbolic comments like that. Would be silly to let fanboy drivel to stop you coming into threads about games you are excited for.

It's frustrating because thread starts derailing.

343i had a vision when they were in pre planning for Halo 5.

60fps across all modes of multiplayer and campaign and they went all in on it. Personally after playing the beta and seeing more and more footage of Warzone and the Campaign in my eyes they made absolutely the right decision. It plays and looks so smooth and for a FPS that's what I'm really looking for and if they do want to break into the eSport scene then it's a necessity.

Not only is it a locked frame rate but imo the graphics, art style and what's actually happening on scene look fantastic. Seeing people say it's looks like Halo 4 but a bit shinier I just cannot see at all, this is a massive step up both from a quality standpoint as well as size of the play space and the amount going on.

Roll on release.

Exactly. Anyone who claims it looks like Halo 4 is trolling or has no idea what the hell they're saying.
