New High Res Images of Halo 5 Guardians

Campaign | Arena | Warzone

PistolsAtDawn3202d ago (Edited 3202d ago )

I can't take credit for these pictures, I didn't take them, nor is this my imgur account....but these screenshots do look fantastic....they get me really excited for the game. Just for fun I'd like to see what everyone guesses the Res is in these (In a respectful way. For the record, I don't have the answer).

Some of these screenshots look fantastic, the detail on the armor looks amazing in some screenshots. I would think that with all the particle effects in this game and trying to keep it 60fps that it would be 900p, but after looking at these screens some look native 1080p to me...who knows?

Edit: After looking at them again, this game looks F'n AMAZING...so far everything about this game seems incredible.

KingKionic 3202d ago (Edited 3202d ago )

My gosh look at the chief....

He`s looking like a beast!

Jesus the detail in these maps look CLEAN.

tuglu_pati3202d ago

Game look ok. 343i had to compromise in a lot of places to achieve 60fps.
There are a lot of low res textures and aliasing on this screenshots.

Lighting looks great though and hopefully they can at least lock the res at 900p

Ipunchbabiesforfun3202d ago

you really went through all that trouble to point out some artifacts? Lol some people are never happy!

tuglu_pati3202d ago (Edited 3202d ago )

@ Ipunchbabiesforfun

What trouble? it took me 30 seconds.

BTW i'm not saying the game looks bad, but its certainly not setting any bar graphically. The game does have low res textures and it suffer from bad aliasing, at least on the build the showed at Gamescom which supposedly is from 3 moths back. So nothing its final.

The graphics are just a little step up from H4 so i'm guessing the campaign will have big battles and big arenas like 343i is saying. Nevertheless I can't wait to play it.

Game looks freakin sick to me, Chief is handling his business with thrusters in that pic:

KingKionic 3202d ago (Edited 3202d ago )

A little step?

Look at master chief shots from 343 in halo 4

Come on man you gotta admit whats in halo 5 is way better.

So CLEAN.

tuglu_pati3202d ago

@KionicWarlord222

I do agree it looks better but not a huge leap. It does look clean though.

Magicite3201d ago

Vegetation looks really poor though, worse than in many open-world games.

LonDonE3201d ago (Edited 3201d ago )

Agreed this game looks incredible! People who say it looks bad are kidding them selves.
The excess critisism is probably from halo fans who jumped ship to ps4 this gen, so when seeing franchises they love on x1 they get salty.

Man up and buy all platforms kids.

I will admit at first i wasnt too impressed but now the more i have seen the more it impresses! people forget THIS IS 60FPS!!

We are still early into this gen, trust it will only get better.
I am so dying to play it and i cant wait.

What makes me laugh is people praise cod graphicss but say this looks bad?
Even halo 4 mcc looked great on x1.

Bottom line i believe 343 will deliver, just look at halo 4 mcc multiplayer maps are graphically gorgeous!! so i know halo 5 will look even better!

The Gamescon build was running at 810p to full 1080p dynamic.

PistolsAtDawn3202d ago (Edited 3202d ago )

Is that the one they said was 3 months old?

@Metroid Freak below....hahahah every copy of Halo 5 comes with a free pitched tent.

Sciurus_vulgaris3202d ago

@PistolsAtDawn. I am not sure how old the Gamesconbuild was , but was vastly improved from the E3 build.

3-4-53202d ago

* These Screenshots just got me more hyped and excited for Halo 5 than anything else.

Can't wait to play this game now.

Does it have Forge still ?

iistuii3201d ago

" with all the particle effects in this game and trying to keep it 60fps that it would be 900p, but after looking at these screens some look native 1080p to me...who knows? "

Exactly, who knows. All these so called experts who can spot a 1080p game from a 900p should beable go tell us what the resolution is, but guess what, they ain't got a clue & unless DF or similar site told them they'd be none the wiser.

The skin on the elites look so realistic/detailed, also the sky boxes/backgrounds are beautiful

Kavorklestein3202d ago (Edited 3202d ago )

I feel like these are the best screens we've seen so far.

Seriously- These made me realize how great the game is gonna be, I had a small 10% doubt about Halo 5 being the epic title Xbox one needs before, but it is now gone from my mind.

Jaw is on the floor.

MetroidFREAK213202d ago

But how can a game this stunning be rated T? Haha

*on topic* the game does look amazing

Sciurus_vulgaris3202d ago

I think the ESRB is becoming more relaxed now with their ratings. Games like Gears of War, Max Payne 3 and Mortal Kombat X are far more violent and gory than any Halo game.

Mrtemper3202d ago

TBH I always wondered WHY halo was rated M

Magicite3201d ago

Looks quite generic and boring, too many boxed areas.

christocolus3201d ago

"Looks quite generic and boring"

Just like your comments in every xbox article.

Julion07153202d ago

It's almost halo season my fellow gamers can't wait!!!!

Master Chief Became More Than A Machine In 343's Halo

In Halo 4, 5, and Infinite, Master Chief became a more nuanced, human character.

In spite of the Halo series’ struggles, 343 deserves praise for adding nuance and characterisation to the ever-beating heart of Halo - The Master Chief. Playing through Infinite, it's abundantly clear that the events of the current and previous trilogies have irrevocably changed the iconic hero. He’s no longer the ‘blank slate’ that was previously presented by Bungie. He’s a fatigued, damaged and fallible protagonist, and one who is meandering through currents of grief, while reveling in his newfound agency. Giving the Chief a compelling and meaningful voice was no small feat, and 343 should be proud of that victory.

This article completely misses part of the appeal of the original iteration of character in the original game trilogy. It was the Chief and Cortana vs an entire alien collective. The blank slate Bungie displayed in their games was genius, he was an mysterious hero a wide audience could identify with because he wasn't as clearly defined as most characters.

The books added a lot of lore and backstory but most Halo players just want a fun game with exposition that doesn't get in the way of gameplay, it's why the Cortana level in Halo 3 was derided.

Not every character has to be a damaged soyboy, a soldier has to suck it up and do his duty.

BandarHub427d ago

A lot of people give the 343 version of Master Chief a lot of slack.
But Fundamentally he is still the same character, he just has a couple more dialogues. He has not changed in terms of attitude.
"Not every character has to be a damaged soyboy, a soldier has to suck it up and do his duty."
And that's what he has done at the end of the day, he did his duty. Watch his partner die, and was ready to destroy the weapon in Halo infinite....he is still the same soilder that everyone remembers

Halo Infintes one was a nice balance between both.

slate91427d ago

Chief and the halo franchise became a joke under 343

Sciurus_vulgaris427d ago

The 343i Master Chief has is based on the books. However, in Halo 4-Infinite, the Master Chief overtime become. gradually becomes more willing to show some emotion.

Obscure_Observer427d ago

"However, in Halo 4-Infinite, the Master Chief overtime become. gradually becomes more willing to show some emotion."

Which is awesome! I love how Master Chief become more John and less soldier.

I didn’t even notice my typos,lol

I mean, the deal is alright… Unfortunately for me the Serious S doesn’t have a disk drive and unfortunately for Gamestop a lot of those games are on or have been on Gamepass/PSNow.

Sgt_Slaughter668d ago

Given the nature of backwards compatibility on new systems, this is a great sale in case you missed out on some gems from last gen.

Mandingo2020668d ago

Most of the games on Xbox are on game pass. The Switch games in this sale are trash c'mon farming simulator that's laughable. The PS4 games should be cheaper. I can't wait for the GameStop going out of business liquidation sale.

neutralgamer1992668d ago

Seriously man I don't get the hate on GS and I guess you want even less options and give more control to the publishers

And you want thousands of people to lose their jobs because you don't like a company. One thing I have noticed is how most who hate on GS haven't shopped at the actual stores in years. Many who hate on GS have also done so listening to others negative stories or experiences. People on YT want clicks and hating on GS is the cool thing

SurgicalMenace667d ago

It's not people's hate that would lose people's jobs, it's the shady business practices of the company. So what you're saying is that because people work there individuals should just support what they don't want to? Sound advice; Hitler too had supporters, employees, and advocates but people go around hating him too. They only hate because of other people's bad stories or experiences; they only spoke bad about him because they wanted attention. It's been decades; lets give his way another go. With your logic anything could be made to sound good.🤷🏾‍♂️

neutralgamer1992667d ago

SurgicalMenace

Seriously you used Hitler as an example to say company has shady practices

You don't have to shop at GS there are many other retailers. I shop there and vast majority of my experiences have been positive and most of the employees are super nice

SurgicalMenace667d ago

Just having some fun, bro.🤣🤣

Mandingo2020667d ago

There are other places to work besides GS. Plus, their benefits are trash so why not work somewhere else?

REDGUM668d ago

And none of those game you speak of you actually own as they are digital not physical & would cost more than $20 as the subscription costs more than that.

Mandingo2020667d ago (Edited 667d ago )

You know you can get game pass ultimate codes for the low on cdkeys or g2a right? You don't need to have a subscription 😂. GS is trash and I'd rather support the mom and pop game store here instead.

BlackTar187667d ago

Why are you people so full of hate? GameStop gives people jobs and provides a physical appearance to see things in the flesh and not just some soulless online experience.

Mandingo2020667d ago

You can get physical at mom and pop game stores plus you can get it online. GS is trash

neutralgamer1992667d ago

Because Mom and Pop shops cost two to three times more for the same product Angie the answer

BlackTar187667d ago (Edited 667d ago )

Mom and pop stores cost more and have even harder time competing against the internet. Also lie to me and tell you have a couple mom and pop stores near you selling games then lie and tell me you shop there.

IanTH668d ago

These sales, while potentially great, really struggle to be valuable given you can't easily parse what games are in stock. You can't just say "only show what is online & what are in my nearby stores". Probably 60-75% of these games in these massive lists are out of stock for shipping, and out of stock locally. It makes it a chore to find anything you'd want, much less 4 of them, much less enough if you wanted to get to a free shipping tier. It's a bummer.

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic738d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

AuraAbjure738d ago

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

ChubbyBlade737d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure736d ago (Edited 736d ago )

Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.
