I've been wishing for that ever since Marty was fired from Bungie

The music we've heard for Infinite so far has been good. It would be nice though.

Poor guy, he has a lot of work in front of him.
I imagine 343 people like kids with heads down staring at their feet while being lectured by an authority figure.

Fuck... this game is not coming out in 2021, is it?
Anyway, I hope he can help make the game the best it can be.

They should have just wrote Bungie a blank cheque when they had the chance last year.

I read Joseph Staten as Joseph Stalin.
But wow it's at the point they have to do this now. On the other end though maybe this is a good thing.

Yeah, I think 2022 is looking more and more likely.
Also, let's all just agree on this:
The budget is at, or will be at, 500 million dollars when all is said and done.

Out with the new in with the old.
The article mentions a wider restructuring but does not say anything else. I'm curious how deep those cuts go and who's going to heal them.

Joe did immense work on the halo's but he was more a story guy. Other than shitty looking this makes me think the story, plot etc are also shit and need to be re-written which is going to take a lot of time

Think Metroid 4, IMO. But MS is unlikely to have the balls to admit Halo: Infinite is being rebooted.

Maybe not the"whole" game.
It seams just crazy to me, I understand 100 million, but 1/2 a billion?! Since the game was supposed to be launched this year, that means they blew through that budget already. What the heck were they doing? Someone should be fired at the leadership level.

They showed us the best part of the game. Now imagine what the worst must have been like.

It's a mess.
- 5 years of development (so far)
- Numerous departures and lost time
- New engine
- Marketing deals that have fallen through + partners that need to be reimbursed

How embarrassing for all this publicly play out, 343 have been incompetent and Phil as the overall leader of Xbox should have managed the scenario better.
calamity in the face of launch with their premier franchise, customer confidence it does not instill.
From dropping sales, reviews, MCC disaster and now this.....Halo has been slowly beat down under Phil and 343.

Maybe Bonnie haven't been clear and honest when providing studio update... there has to be trust when dealing with your studios

That made me snort. Nice job.
You're right, of course. But Phil is pretty dumb, I guess, and can't see her for what she is.

Guys leave Bonnie alone. She is pretty cute.

I don’t think enough xboxes have been sold over it’s existence to facilitate enough sales for that to happen.

Phil may get #metoo if he went in too hard. MS and Apple seems to be at the forefront with diversity hire

The guy was so confident prior to the Xbox showcase in July that one has to think if it was out of arrogance or ineptitude.

You do have to wonder what's going on, much like when people questioned Bob Iger's hesitance to fire Kathleen Kennedy, despite there being ample reason to do so.

Joe is good news for long time Halo fans.
Joe's current role at MS seems to be more of Project Manager/Fixer/Get the game to ship w/ Crackdown 3 being the last major AAA release he worked on. He got brought onto that game late in development as well.

Imo pushing this news on Bloomberg feels like Phil is starting to play hard. Someone is getting taken into account, shareholders don't like such news ..
