Halo 5: Guardians Engineering team at 343 Industries focuses on delving a stable 60FPS across Modes for October 27 launch to maximize Xbox One capabilities and potentials. Additionally, Gamestop Italy has revealed limited and premium edition items for pre-order.
Gameranx reported that Halo fans have recently tackled on the subject of the visual clutter that fills the screen in Halo 5, hence affecting the gameplay and saying that it "is a constant challenge with heightened visual fidelity."
The developer explained that certain players might see that as a clutter, however, it's basically small details that make up the game and maximizing the Xbox One's full potential.
"What you see as "clutter," someone else sees as "detail" - the goal (and challenge) is to deliver a more detailed physical environment that maximizes the capabilities of the Xbox One while retaining clarity of image and the ability to follow the action. Your point is well taken though and this is something we are always working to balance."
As to the frame rate in the game, 343 Industries boss said that the Halo 5 Beta, "partially optimized and Strongholds was the worst case example. The engineering team is united in their focus on delivering stable 60fps across modes for launch."
Meanwhile, GameStop Italy has revealed some details about the limited collector's edition of Halo 5: Guardians on its website. The special version's description reads:
"A premium edition for collectors and fans of Halo that contains the Limited Edition version of the game as well as a commemorative statuette made from 343 Industries. More details on the design will be disclosed later .Pre-order Halo 5 Guardians Limited Collector 's Edition + Action Figure Spartan Locke."
Knowing that Agent Locke statue and additional DLC will charge fans extra dollars, it's very likely that the figure within the box itself could be Master Chief or another Spartan.
