The First 18 Minutes of Halo 5: Guardians in 1080p 60fps

IGN Halo 5 guardians first 18 minutes

Nightmar3Demom3115d ago

Man, I'm still not sure about getting this one, even after watching the video.

Christopher3114d ago

People really overuse the word epic and the like nowadays. It looked fine, but nothing we haven't seen before in this generation of gaming. Nothing that stands out. The graphics are good, not great. The shooting looks good, not great. The enemies look the usual bunch of enemies. The HUD... someone decided to limit what you see on screen because helmets?

Anyway, would not say epic. Just good and what we should be getting in games today.

I think what will carry this game is the multiplayer. It will probably be tight, have control over FPS, and have great matchmaking.

XBLSkull3114d ago (Edited 3114d ago )

15 years and Halo remains untouched as the best FPS series ever! So many enemies! So much chaos! Freaking awesome, looks like legendary is gonna be punishing. Looks crazy good, and the first Halo game of a new generation always sets the pace for that generation, Microsoft hit it out of the park again, 18 minutes that screams GotY.

As much as I hate them, bet the flood is back in this.

@Christopher
Its not always about the visuals that makes a game great. Halo 5 looks like a decent next gen game with its visuals, sure its no Ryse but we are forgetting the other important elements that make great games great. Story Telling, Gameplay, Lasting Appeal, AI, Features, Multiplayer etc

All those categories I mentioned above looks like Halo 5 is living up to. Those are the most important things I want from Halo 5. I don't want another Crysis 3, I want a Halo 5. Sure the visuals looks good but the fact it looks that good at 60 frames really shows how talented 343 are. At 60 I was expecting a lot less.

I am not easily pleased since I game on PC 99% of the time, and Halo 5 has pleased me with what has been shown so far.

DragoonsScaleLegends3115d ago

Personally I've never played a Halo game (I only ever owned the Original Xbox for a short time) but the trailers for this game have made me interested in the series.

mark_parch3115d ago

have you ever played a computer game before?

3-4-53114d ago

I'm getting Halo 5 for the multiplayer. This will be the first time I actually play the campaign.

mochachino3114d ago

You've missed out on so much I can't even describe it.

ninsigma3114d ago

I'm getting it but the sp has yet to show me anything wow worthy. Mp on the other hand is freakin awesome (played the beta). Of course they haven't shown the best part of sp for obvious reasons so I'm hoping it's going to be awesome!

UKmilitia3114d ago (Edited 3114d ago )

im not either but i think the guy playing is terrible??
doesnt look as good graphical quality of announce either but im not sure if that was just the plain setting(blue/grey etc)

i dont know what it was but it gave me a bit of motion sick feeling watching the video fullscreen.
everything seemed so close to the screen that was happening im not sure.
it looks fun but not for me ,but i hope the halo fans enjoy it.

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.

BandarHub407d 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.

slate91407d ago

Chief and the halo franchise became a joke under 343

Sciurus_vulgaris407d 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_Observer407d 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_Slaughter648d 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.

Mandingo2020648d 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.

neutralgamer1992648d 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

SurgicalMenace648d 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.🤷🏾‍♂️

neutralgamer1992647d 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

SurgicalMenace647d ago

Just having some fun, bro.🤣🤣

Mandingo2020647d ago

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

REDGUM648d 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.

Mandingo2020647d ago (Edited 647d 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.

BlackTar187648d 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.

Mandingo2020647d ago

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

neutralgamer1992647d ago

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

BlackTar187647d ago (Edited 647d 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.

IanTH648d 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

Flawlessmic718d ago

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

AuraAbjure718d ago

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

ChubbyBlade717d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure717d ago (Edited 717d 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.
