You say that but you aren't likely to see many franchises with the ability to support $40, $50 to $100 million dollars in development cost per title based simply based on support from word of mouth.
Advertising and PR drive sales and is the reason most high profile titles get about as much marketing dollars as they do development dollars. Advertising and PR folk do not get to decide how exited any of us should be, but their work is an essential part of how much anticipation is generated through out the market.
What would you interest be if there were nothing and then one day you walked into gamestop or look on the Xbox Marketplace and there was Halo 5 on the shelf? Hard to have interest in a title you don't know exists.
Because in the end, its all marketing from the announcements, news, interviews, previews, betas, screenshots, gameplay videos to commercials. Some of it can be unsavory at times (pushing high profile crap) but the market wouldn't exist without it.
It's less powerful hardware and also targeting 60fps and 4 player co-op.
That said, it probably was not a good idea to unveil anything SP until E3. I don't see how PR could have thought it would have been a good idea at all. A corridor that looks like it's taken from Halo 4? Umm.... did the PR guy even play Halo 4 to make the connection?
Very true, but then again, with the case against the downgrades argument, I could see them going another direction and just keeping it real.
I was thinking their conference stuff would be much bigger scale at least.
If showing off campaign bits was that important for pre-E3, they might have just picked the usual hero poses, but the view weapon I've seen is pretty poorly chosen with the derp dynamic light coming up from.. uh... below.hm... Arby's marketing deal. "We have the Elites."
"Chief Eats Arby for breakfast"
Also in-game Arby hat. $4.99

What is even scarier for Destiny is that writers of Dragon Age have joined Bungie ! Expect the highest quality DAI blandness in Destiny now
Chief, we need you to collect 500 purple flowers so Intelligence R&D can craft a potion to defeat the new Covenant leader.

Sure, I understand the business case for PR, but being a tech-based forum I'd expect people here to be able to see through all that noise. ;-)
The single player is 60fps, and they're serious about it; 343i is saying it's a big part of why split-screen coop won't be in Halo 5.

Yuck. Graphics and thus mainstream interest automatically just dropped 50%. I understand some sort of need for MP but not SP.
Naughty Dog smartly abandoned their 60 FPS pledge on Uncharted 4 almost as soon as they made it, infamously saying getting it to run 60 FPS is "really f-ing hard". http://www.gamespot.com/articles/getting-uncharted-4-to-run-at-60fps-really-f-king-/1100-6425090/ I was expecting 343 to do the same wishy washy thing for campaign. But leave it to 343/MS to screw up and deprioritize graphics, kind of the actual story of xbox one and why it's being outsold 2-1 worldwide.
1080P is a pipe dream now for sure...I guess dumbed down graphics at 900P ish is the best to be hoped for.

Well I dont want to create yet another spinoff thread so I'll tread carefully, but ODST/3 look like Xbox 360 games plain and simple and no getting around it. You can talk about the atmosphere all you want, but it distract a lot from the experience for me (just as Halo 4 great visuals added a ton to that game in and of themselves).
Constantly switching between 30fps and 60fps in what's largely the same game feels bad.
They never said they were aiming for 1080p with Halo 5 in the first place.
Nothing is written in binary stone yet. The dream is still on.
And 900p is not a thing anymore. Nowadays it's either 1080pr or at least dynamic 1080p
Let's not do this again please.
