Someone was claiming a while back that someone at 343 told them that Halo 5 was going to look better than the Order (not a credible source) and a job posting was made a while back that stated “Your features will be used to amaze and shock game players around the world”. Now I know that these were a bit of a stretch to begin with, and maybe my hopes were too unrealistic, but recently we’ve had a statement from 343 (Bonnie Ross at the E3 press conference) that says that Halo 5 would realize the potential and promise of the Xbox One.
Now, I’m not a stickler for resolution or graphics generally, but that campaign demo was hideous. Did anybody notice the horrendous explosion effects and the god-awful lack of anti-aliasing happening on screen? Those explosions look like they were copied from Halo 3.
I’m excited for Halo 5, but the visuals are not impressive in the slightest. It’s basically Halo 4 with more textures and the same laughable explosions.
Seriously? This is what people are now complaining about? They looked awesome to me and I watched the videos on a crappy work computer. Maybe for all we know…The graphics were toned down for the demos. Who knows. In the Beta they looked awesome.

I’ve heard lots of stuff about the campaign demo, and I think it’s been said that the demo wasn’t 1080 or some other stuff.
All I know for sure is that the level was modified to be more linear and to cut out spoilers. But I’ve only heard rumors about the graphics.
I am going to tell you again that “HipHopGamer” is not a reliable source and that Frank O’Conner said recently that no one from 343 ever said that. So you should probably stop parading that link around the forums because it’s nonsense.

Hideous? Seriously?
Granted, it wasn’t amazing or anything, but it was running in 60 FPS which is a first for Halo outside of MCC and it still looked pretty damn good. “Hideous” is just insulting and ridiculous and discredits any actual point you’re trying to make.

If anything, they would “tone up” the graphics for the demo. The explosions are absolutely hideous and there’s really no excuse for it. I’m not one to compare, but I expected more from a game “built from the ground up” on the Xbox One. It doesn’t look as good as Battlefield released two years ago on multiplat, and no where near as good as Battlefront coming out at the same time.

Could you not see the blur and anti-aliasing jumping out of the screen? It was so distracting it almost made my eyes bleed. The action happening in the background was comically bad with purple plasma explosions that looked like they were out of Halo 3, and chunks of buildings falling apart like they were made of legos.
I’m being dramatic, of course, but suffice it to say that I expected A LOT more in the graphics department.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m buying day 1. I just expected more.

What else should I be worried with? Based on what I played from the beta, I loved the game play. I was just really disappointed with the graphics in the campaign, especially the explosions and water effects.

Its about building the Hype. They tone down things like graphics and it was not 1080p.

I’m not trying to argue, but do you actually believe the graphics were toned down? I highly doubt it, but I really hope you’re right.

Yes. They are still putting finishing touches on the game.
But seriously.
“I’m super excited for halo 5 but the graphics and demo we were shown were hideous. I’m not a stickler for graphics but here’s what wrong with the anti aliasing of a really scripted scene in a tiny portion of mission cut for E3 purposes.”
