They have to deliver 60fps. They announced it twice now. If don't, backlash will be bad.
Released on a 7 year old hardware, it looks fantastic. A game has to be looked at it in motion. Posting stills from it doesn't do justice. Furthermore, you can find bad looking screenshots like the ones you posted in every game. I can post screenshots of Uncharted 3, Gears Of War 3, God Of War 3 etc where those games look bad as well. Yes. I agree, texture skyboxes weren't great.
Btw. it is funny, you are posting screenshots from the Digital Foundry article where they stated:

At the end, it is a personal matter, but I was mostly impressed by Halo 4's graphic and cannot wait to see what 343i is capable of with X1.
I never thought a single fan taken screen of Gears of War (that wasn't an off-screen picture of it running on an HDTV) looked anything other than terrible, but the games themselves look amazing in motion. Stills don't do this games justice. This is a medium in which the content is regularly moving. This is why devs have to bullshot, or else their games are being done a huge disservice. They may never be that clean or crisp, but the best looking games tend to come close enough to not be blatantly misleading imo.
And this here is a gameplay shot.
It may not be so super clean, but it really does look that good in action. Forward Unto Dawn level looks absolutely mindblowing, especially when you get outside in the zero gravity fight with weapons floating around.
