CG or not they are enough to get people excited. Again I don’t see where gamers decided it’s a mandatory requirement to show gameplay for every reveal. Avowed is a Xbox exclusive Skyrim with LOTR elements, that’s huge! But nope it’s trash because it’s CG. That makes no sense to me. 

As for Halo, you need the most powerful console to make Halo open world while hitting those resolution and FPS benchmarks. The open world aspects is a dream come true, they traded graphical fidelity for scale, and of course the gameplay is tight. So the game not impressing “graphics whores” isnt a big concern of mine. We just want a great Halo game and in that regard the trailer didn’t disappoint. 

I don't even know who you are, but based on your icon and this response alone...I think it's clear that Microsoft could piss in your breakfast cereal and you'd eat it up. Halo looked terrible, easily the worst looking thing in the entire presentation and you're trying to spin it like it's a graphical or performing marvel? Come on dude, you can't be serious. 

Likewise, people come out of the woodwork when Xbox shows something it seems ;)

I’m a huge Halo fan, my concerns were a good story and tight gameplay coming off Halo 5. It didn’t disappoint. Art style confirmed to be inspired by Halo 1 and open world is a dream come true. Once I saw the video on YT 4K the looks were much cleaner. 

Was I underwhelmed at first by the graphics? Sure. Then again it’s 4K/60 FPS open world Halo. The IP was never known to push graphics (except Halo 4 which was a late gen game that used every drop of 360s hardware) so I’m happy it’s looks and feels like Halo.
