Looks like crap to me and not really fun to play. Not surprised it was cancelled.

 

[Diablohead]

Now I want a LEGO Halo and a Minecraft Halo.

There is an official halo Minecraft pack on Xbox which was fun to explore

 

[mikezilla2]

wow this is cool

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Looks nice

 

[Ronin Ray]

It looks absolutely nothing like anything made from blocks but I totally love the style anyway. Looks like a fun TPS Halo game like Jet Force Gemini, as I saw someone else say. I love third-person shooters but I feel like there aren't many "fun" ones anymore outside of Ratchet & Clank, everything I can think of is serious or gritty like Gears, even though Uncharted has lots of humor and adventure it's not quite the same as something like JFG. I'd love someone to correct me though if I'm wrong!



Yeah man I love it when I build a model and the parts don't stay connected and it keeps falling apart too, so awesome.

Also it's Lego, not Legos. Heathen! *throws sand*

Sunset overdrive is the game you need . Also made by the same studio as rachet and clank

 

[Forerunner]

Stinkles please. I would have bought that.

 

[krang]

Stinkles please. I would have bought that.

I'd like to hear what Frankie has to say about it, if he wouldn't mind.

 

[Borman]

I'd like to hear what Frankie has to say about it, if he wouldn't mind.

Most likely not a whole lot will be said unfortunately.

 

[Borman]

Let me clear something up, since I see this being mentioned elsewhere. N-Space was the one that won the contract for this game. They were one of many that pitched for the game, but their team was the one that got the contract from everything that I know and have heard even since this video came out, while these other devs did not.

 

[Ashtar]

Looks interesting, I'd have followed it closely and split screen coop definitely a plus

 

[SPEA]

Actually looks really fun. Shame MS killed it.

 

[Akai__]

"Microsoft doesn't comment on leaks and rumours."

 

[notaskwid]

MegaBlocks?

 

[sixteen-bit]

This looks so charming, lol

 

[Jrs3000]

Tweet Phil this video maybe it will rise from the grave.

Spoiler

one can dream

 

[N7.Angel]

That was INCREDIBLE

 

[AlexFlame116]

Looks like crap to me and not really fun to play. Not surprised it was cancelled.

And the positive streak flows out the window...

It was going so well too...

 

[momshotdad]

I'm actually surprised by how good this looks.

 

[bennywhatever]

Master Chief looks so much like a RAcast from Phantasy Star Online it's crazy. I would have played this.

 

[Steve Youngblood]

MegaBlocks?

There's been an ongoing line for years of Halo MegaBlocks toys. Halo has been skewing Teen as of late, but just as a general rule an M rated FPS franchise isn't really in The LEGO Group's wheelhouse.

 

[frankie_baby]

Looks impressive

Am i right in thinking it was n-space that did the halo DS prototype as well?

 

[dancrane212]

It was never confirmed but it was obviously the Goldeneye Rogue Agent DS engine (done by N-Space) running that demo.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

That was always the common theory and the video does reference it, yes.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

There's always one.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Now all I can think about is a proper third person game set in the Halo universe. Fucking do it MS!

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

This looks great. I wonder why it wasn't released?

 

[dancrane212]

The idea of a GRAW-style game with the Halo sandbox could be incredible. If only EGM was right.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Now all I can think about is a proper third person game set in the Halo universe. Fucking do it MS!

Yes yes. You could play as a grunt trying to get to the food nipple on the star ship. It would be glorious.

 

[old manatee]

I'm holding out for Lincoln Log Last of Us.

 

[Galang]

I don't like Halo, but I'd buy this day one. Looks great, sad it was cancelled

 

[op_ivy]

That looked so good from a visual and gameplay point of view. Very charming. Why would it not see the liggt of day?

 

[PancakeAlmighty]

Not accurate to the brand, its missing the part where none of the mega blocks stick together and you go back to lego

 

[pswii60]

Totally my kind of game. A Halo platformer. Why oh why was it cancelled!? Not brown enough?

Would have made a nice digital title, episodic perhaps.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

That looks pretty cool. I like the style a lot.

 

[Stinkles]

I'd like to hear what Frankie has to say about it, if he wouldn't mind.

what's an anything

 

[krang]

Or a horror, based on The Mona Lisa short story.

what's an anything

Indeed.

 

[Duderino]

Even when they got a decent budget and decent development time, their titles weren't too hot (Geist, Heroes of Ruin).

Do you personally know how steady their funding was from Nintendo and Square Enix, their staff's compitency and former employment history, what key personel they lost and gained over the years, and what the developer publisher relationships were like at each phase of prodution?

I don't think anyone here short of a former employee can really speak to their development conditions and what impact those had on the final games, positive or negative. All I can say is from what we've seen, n-Space did appear capable of delivering on this core concept for Microsoft.

Mid-tier, work for hire, game development studios rarely get the opertunity to convince the gaming world that they are capable of handling an IP like this. Public perception of the company's history is not always indicative of the what the team can do and will produce. Double Helix's transition from the Battleship movie tie in game to Killer Instinct is a perfect example.

 

[m23]

what's an anything

Someone should make a thread about this.

 

[black070]

Looks like a blast, I'd have given it a shot.

 

[Nudull]

So, future episode of Unseen64?

 

[Caffeine]

sometimes I will never understand how something great gets cancelled.

 

[LastNac]

Seeing a cancelled Halo games makes me wonder...did we ever uncover anything more about Halo Chronicles?

 

[mr_sockochris]

My 9yr old would have loved this

 

[Borman]

So, future episode of Unseen64?

I talk to all of those. But basically what I do is a bit more on top of it, because my goal is to be able to preserve builds and other things. I know Liam wants to do another video on this, but so far the developers have been unwilling to talk so there's not really anything else to show.

 

[Spiritwalker]

Looks like a fun Halo game I'd actually play.

 

[Quadraphonic]

Between this and the cancelled Halo DS, how many cancelled Halo games ARE THERE?

 

[Borman]

Between this and the cancelled Halo DS, how many cancelled Halo games ARE THERE?

The MMO is one of the other big ones that had serious dev time. Theres a few other possible things too...

But to be fair, Halo DS was a pitch that wasn't picked up. This is much more than that.

 

[MCN]

Between this and the cancelled Halo DS, how many cancelled Halo games ARE THERE?

At least 2, I reckon.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Between this and the cancelled Halo DS, how many cancelled Halo games ARE THERE?

There was the MMO as well

 

[Borman]

Id love to cover the MMO, hi developers
