You keep on trolling. I'm finding it entertaining.
Game Informer Tease: "Screenshots ... are gorgeous. My jaw is still on the ground..."

Because people apparently thought the reveal would be 'jaw-dropping' rather than the actual graphics of the game itself...even though the title of the thread clearly says the word 'screenshots'.

Im serious, though. I love Halo but it should have ended at 3, Unless they went prologue.
People will always want what they want and be disappointed about everything else.
The most famous restaurants of the Forerunners and Flood to combine their native cuisine into one galactic banquet that will unite the universe to create an everlasting harmony.
Never change, HaloGaf.

The fight ended with the Covenant, this threat that he is facing is 100,000 years old.
We still have The Flood, Didact, Prometheans, Graveminds/Precursors. Also if this version of the flood is older they can do MUCH more advanced things than we are used to seeing. Halo 3 transformations were just a small sample of how they can change their appearance.

It could also be this way: some people were expecting a graphically jaw dropping project, and for those people, that meant a PC project since no console game is graphically jaw dropping for them anymore.
I am one of those people, although Halo 4 news are welcomed too in my case.
At last!
Oh and:
I love the Gaf. Plus, this man is right.

How can Halo 4 look soooo good? I mean, sure, it will look great but I think the 360 has already been maximized. How can this look sooo jaw dropping?
Deceptive hype.

Care to elaborate?
In a way though it was confirmed right in the OP:
Crysis 3 and GoWIV would've both been good news too though.
Lighting goes a long way.
Maybe the cover is actually a screenshot and the graphics will have a 'painted' style to it instead of just space marines shooting shiny aliens.

If anyone can figure out a way to squeeze more power out of the 360, it is an Xbox 360 exclusive studio with the budget of Halo.

Some people expect too much.
It was confirmed it wasn't a new project. It was confired it wasn't GTA or Half-Life. Journalists often refer to console games as having "wow graphics" or looking "phenomenal". Expecting something different is just deluding yourself.
Dont forget the massive team that they have along with Corrinne Yu who is doing the engine.

So burned out on halo, and after the MP footage that was released how are they saying their jaws hit the floor?
Also, I agree halo should have ended after 3, hopefully they've hired some decent writers, halo campaign stories are god awful

Campaign. We haven't seen anything yet.
Also, we've only seen Pre-Alpha footage. We'll be seeing a new build in the GI issue.

Maybe we couldn't make out those boobs with the lower res god bless 720p.
What i dont understand is what did people expect from a cover reveal the screen shot.
Probably have to wait for tomorrow or next week for leaked scans.
Hope someone on gaf can make a list of stuff from those 14 pages.

Greg Bear is doing some writing for Halo 4, not sure if its the story or things like Terminals but story has become a HUGE focus for 343i as apparent by all the lore they are developing.
-Spartan IV
-UNSC Infinity
-Precursors
-Didact
-Geas
-343 GS's past
and a a lot more are making me very excited for Halo 4, Halo 1-3 (most 2 and 3) have been very movie/mainstream sci-fi. Halo 4 is seeming to take the hard sci-fi route while still remaining true to the Halo story and lore.

Why the hell would GI reveal the screenshots before the magazine go on sale? They need people to pick up the magazine, not ignore it.
And the jaw dropping part has always been in reference to the actual screenshots within the magazine, not the cover art or the title in reference to said cover.
And this Halo might actually be different since it's not a Bungie Halo, so it's worth paying attention to.
Why? Because he thinks a game looks good? Because they have new exclusive Halo info? I don't get stuff like this at all.
They are pulling a Halo 2 and releasing a Halo game on the last year of the consoles life so they can maximize profits before moving onto the next generation.

In yo face and in my veins, haters! Halo 4 is the reason I still have a 360.
Why don't they save this game as a launch game for the next Xbox?!?!?! 4 Halo games in one gen = 2 much. What next 8 games next gen.... ughhh. I hope it really looks jaw-dropping, but I doubt it. It would be a better graphical powerhouse again as a launch game for the next box IMO.

The campaigns are the main reason I play Halo too, but one play through is definitely not enough for me!
I start off with a solo play through (for full immersion), then co-op with a friend (for pure fun), then a Legendary play through (so satisfying) and then I go Skull/Terminal/Achievement hunting (plus Challenges brought me back again in Reach!).
I don't personally feel any of the first-party Microsoft studios have pushed the system as much as they could have, but this I'm sure will be different.
other than forza, agree with that sentiment its strange how multiplatform engines have had better visuals than ms first party games.
RE5 looks incredible and looked better on the 360
Red Dead Redemption
Gears of war 3 (unreal engine a multiplat engine)
RAGE best looking 60hz game
when third party is doing it better than you, something is wrong.

Honestly, I don't think that was there plan at all. I think they expected to get at least 2 Halo sequels out before the new systems shipped, but I think Nintendo forced their hand with the announcement of the Wii U and a 2012 release date. As such we are more likely to see the next Xbox in 2013 as opposed to 2014 or later.
