I do wonder what devs think of people getting their panties in a bunch over specs, and not about the game itself. I'd guess, like you said they'd be frustrated over it.

This is probably by far the most important factor when it comes to deciding whether a Halo game is worth it.  I'm guessing it will probably be around 10x10 pixels (what is that in "p"s?) and a variable FPS rate of -5 to 2 which would make it a groundbreaking game on the X1.

And I'm being totally serial about that too.

But not really.

So there probably isn't any chance of it coming out this year.

I think most devs are more concerned about graphics than we are. Only difference is we seem to focus on the performance, but they seem to focus on the polygon counts, textures, and effects.

Just look at Ryse. It's 900p with a bad framerate, but man is it pure eye candy.

They annouced last E3 that the 'next Halo' would be 1080p 60fps.  It would be really bad to go back on that, and I don't think they would. Can you imagine the internext explosion?

It would be as big as if Tom Cruise came walking out of his psicharist office holding his boyfriends hand.

They did an amazing job on Halo 4 on the now old 360.  I feel pretty sure they have some good tricks up their sleaves. Plus, the Xbox will be close to a year old when it comes out.

I went and watched it again.  You are right, they only said 60P.  That is double Ryse's frame rate and would look stunning.

While I would prefer 1080P, I really doubt it looks that much different at 900P as long as they have good anti aliasing.  It’s separate chip which formats the video signal for the screen and they just changed the filter.  So hopefully it doesn't give you much screen door (or whatever that distortion is called.)

Here it is if anyone is curious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5m7D5OsKAY&t=1h19m43s

Some say you can hear the 'legendary Zappy exclamation of extreme happiness in the background.  But then again, that is probably just a myth.

Yeah the update they just pushed out really makes things look better. There's hardly any distortion now, just some slight blur and aliasing due to the lower resolution. Even in 720p Halo 5 would look great since resolution is such a small part of graphics.

I can easily see the difference between a 900p and 1080p game, but all this resolution talk as of late has been getting on my nerves. People have started acting like resolution and framerate=graphics which is causing both camps to say crazy stuff.

They need to show it before Halo 5. Espeically since it's rumored heavily that it got delayed to 2015. 

Really hope they wait till end of 2015 to release Halo 5. I don't want its sales to be hurt by launching on a console with a small install base.

They better make the game as good as possible or Halo will become an irrelevant franchise.
