Halo 2 Anniversary Campaign Might not be 1080p

^I think the reason is because most threads to do with resolution end up in some stupid debate or comparison thread, so you creating a thread purely about a games resolution (even though you say you don't care), seems like it has ulterior motives. I personally
don't think that as I've seen you around and you're not the one to ignite such a thread, but maybe something to keep in mind for next time.

I personally saw this thread title and thought, really? Someone felt the need to post this? Hahaha =p

 

Your all good Lie Fang DOAX3 I was talking about other individuals.

Digital Assassin - No ulterior motive and it wasn't my intent to upset anybody. Talk about walking on egg shells

 

Would it be best to lock this thread and let it die?

 

Haha, egg shells indeed, but I guess the community (myself included) are a bit sensitive from all the recent hubbub and I have to be honest when I saw the thread title I thought here we go haha, but then I saw you as the creator.

No need to get it locked, I don't think this will turn into anything nasty. =)

 

I don't know about anyone else but when I watch TV it's in 1080p.

Dunno why someone is saying when I watch TV it's in 720p.

I don't think it matters anyway. I don't think the fact that you can't play Halo anywhere else matters either. Thats just damage control talk.

What I would say is that the X1 upscales anyway and that it's friggin.....not 1 Halo....but Halo 1...Halo 2.....Halo 3....and Halo 4....all in 1 game.

Thats the seller right there.

 

I don't mind if its not 1080p, I mean the original was not 1080 so I cant see that effecting how much I enjoy this one. Thanks for the info though

All the same it still looks beautiful.

 

What i don't get is if they're having problems hitting 1080 then why don't they just dump the second engine. It'd be interesting to have it in the game but if it's affecting performance the i don't see why they want to keep it.

It may be similar to Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary, Saber needed their own engine for re-producing the games original look, I expect Halo 2 is the same,

Halo CE Anniversary.

 

Oh right. i thought it was a design choice just so you could switch between the old and new version.

thanks for putting me right.

 

Halo 3 did look great for it's time. But going back to it, it has aged pretty bad. It's a sub-720 (1152x640), jagged mess with some funny facial animations. With it being 1080p/60FPS with hopefully good AA (SMAA preferably), the image quality should be insane.


I'm really hoping for H2A to be native 1080p though. It won't be a deal breaker if it isn't because I'm without a doubt going to buy it no questions asked. I just want the best IQ possible when reminiscing about Halo 2 with the buddies. Hopefully they don't
pull some TitanFall/Watch Dogs crap with that wonky 1408x792 ish.

 

I saw someone say 1080 is not that special, but somehow 720 is great. To them I ask "why even have 720 when you can have 480, yo?".

 

One of techno buffalos videos regarding processing power console wars between Xbox 1 and the competition is about resolution. In cases peps say there isn't really a big difference between 720p and 1080p. But in an age where 40' HDTV's a considered as =small=
720p on a 55' HDTV everything gets a bit fuzzy/jaggy because the HDTV has to upscale it (watched the video).

At least 720p is HD. Take for instance Final Fantasy XIII. On Xbox 360 it runs natively @ 576 where as with the competition it's 720p. Yet the games looks BEAUTIFUL on even 360 even though it's running below 720p natively. If games look beautiful and run
in at least 720p on Xbox 1, I'm Ok with it.

 

I prefer smaller TVs for gaming anyways. The bigger your TV, the further your eyes have to travel from 1 side of the screen to the other and as a result it takes you longer to react to something. The advantage of having a bigger screen and a higher resolution
of course is that it's easier to spot smaller things on the screen that may be harder to see on a smaller screen (imperceptable even). I decided after getting my current TV that a 40 inch screen, although small by today's standards, works great as a wonderful
middleground.

 

Hello everyone

I have a 40 inch TV & it is the perfect size for gaming for me

With that being said, people are forgetting that Xbox One is going to upscale the graphics by default anyway. So, even at native 720p upscaled by the power of Xbox One is still going to look awesome

Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone

 

I have a Sony KDL40EX720 full HDTV. 40' is the right size for me too as I play in my bedroom (so that I can get privacy and for my friends not to hear anyone house in my house. Sometimes move it into the lounge cuz it's more comfortable sitting on a couch
than on your bed or cushion. Xbox 1 does have good hardware for games. Not the =best= but good enough.
