Uh.... they're going to do constant amaze-balls effects.

They're just dropping the horizontal resolution sometimes by a small fraction, in order to maintain fps. If the hardware can't do 60fps otherwise, that's fine by me. 60fps is good. Its smooth. It looks better and feels better.

If they were turning down the shader effects or the lighting because they needed to hit a frame rate target, you'd have a point... but that's not whats happening? Its resolution.

So you're loving bonkers.

High resolution is great but comeon. Its not "effects" and certainly not "amaze-balls effects".

"omg look at these sick 4k effects, this fire and lightning and smoke just couldn't happen at 1080" <- this makes no loving sense.


This however, I loving agree with. I'd lose 1080 and 60fps both to get split screen back. My friends are poor, half of them have PS4s and the other half have no consoles. Ain't nobody bothered to buy a stupid xbone to play with me.

Halo 5 wants to be Titanfall, it would seem.

Titanfall doesn't have microtransactions, and is actually a really cool underrated game that more people should try. It was sparse on content at launch, and the MP campaign was half baked, but Respawn have added heaps of free maps now and a 4 player co-op mode similar to ME3 MP.

Why would you prototype something and then scrap it because of the most obvious drawback that anyone could have predicted in 2 seconds.

A drawback that's outweighed by the fun factor btw but that's besides the point.

What if the hands weren't recognized? Like it has to stay as a fist during the animation no matter what, that way the hitler salute becomes just a fist pump in the air, flipping the bird is just a slightly menacing fist shake and all you gotta worry is to not have the players too close to each other so that they can't hump.

Yeah seriously that's an awful lot of work to put into something with a very obvious problem :lol:

Kinect isn't exactly super finger accurate anyways. You can still do jerkoff motions and teabag bullshit with just a torso and arms.

Exactly! You avoid the most obvious problems the user can create and you make it so they can't see the stuff that's most likely to fail. Teabagging when there's nothing under you would look PG enough, like everyone is in on what he's trying to do but to anyone else it's just dumb crouching. The jerkoff thing would be a problem, but, idk, could it be feasible to create a blindspot on the dick? like in that area not capture stuff, thus making the arms immediately go to the sides as if they were out of the Kinect's range.

I'd probably buy a copy of Halo 5 if it came with bright green tights with balls.

but it'd probably need patches and be filled with bugs
