Hi guys.

Halo 5? Hell, why did they go 60fps? Yes, it is objectively better for a fps to render at 60fps so from a gameplay point this is absolutely the right direction. But who wants it? People are already moaning about Halo 5 not having splitscreen at all (no matter if they had ever played it, though ;)) or why it has dynamic resolution. Well, design decisions to make the gameplay better but with this they sacrifice what seems way more important to many people: eyecandy.

 

TBH, I think more actual Halo players seem to be a bit pissed at lack of splitscreen than dynamic res. So to the people who matter (i.e. people who might actually buy Halo 5, or more importantly people who might buy XB one to play Halo 5) it seems split screen is a potential deal breaker. And Split screen isn't eyecandy. So at least with your Halo 5 example it's not eyecandy that is most important. Can't really speak to the rest of it, just that this particular point stuck out as being slightly mis-directed re the dynamic res issue.

The main complaint is the 60fps. This is one of the main reasons for dynamic resolution and the main reason for not having split-screen at all.
