Right. They should just give all to., Ninja Theory and use them as a training company. They obviously have the over the shoulder, tree rendering farm down to a science, since Hellblade looks like every other first party PS game.That's a lot of money to flush down the toilet.
Hopefully some serious time was spent on the multi-player. Going to need quality maps along with good gameplay. If they fail again Microsoft should think about replacing 343i.
I thought it was average at best and played nothing like halo. Didn't help that all the maps were bad.Multi player was not where H5 was lacking, in fact I would compare it to 3 and maybe 2.
The multiplayer was where H5 rises above the others. It was a true return to form.
I hope they expand upon the already great multiplayer and can make a worthy campaign to compliment it.
I disagree. Halo 4 I can get that but 5 felt like the right mix of old school and modern refinement to me.I thought it was average at best and played nothing like halo. Didn't help that all the maps were bad.
We will see. Halo’s aim should be to be THE console shooter, not just a solid game among a sea of many. It is supposed to be Xbox’s biggest IP but it hasn’t felt that way since 3.
Spoken like someone who loves Armor Lock and calling in a SAW.i disagree 4 was great fun my fave halo behind reach
tbh i only disliked 5 and that weird halo 3 spinn off game forgot the name (i bought it thinking it was halo 3)Spoken like someone who loves Armor Lock and calling in a SAW.
That is where Halo got bad.
Halo 3: ODST. I didn’t mind it.tbh i only disliked 5 and that weird halo 3 spinn off game forgot the name (i bought it thinking it was halo 3)
4s problem is that it is a fun game but a bad halo. The balance is horrible for starters. Ordinance drops sucks, you don't descope on shot which makes a good player untouchable, some of the abilities are way better then others, and the boltshot on spawn is lol. The legendary starts at least get rid of the majority of this in mcc.I disagree. Halo 4 I can get that but 5 felt like the right mix of old school and modern refinement to me.
I like the new feel of the arena gameplay, and I hope they keep it and tweak it.
Man, just to think about it - how much the game will have to sell to even break even? Half a billion just for the development, marketing will add at the very least another 100M. I think I know where the name "Infinite" comes from - H:I will actually be a platform with continuous support, just like W10 is, where they will keep adding chapters of the story, spin-offs, new MP modes etc., instead of releasing completely new installments every few years. That's the only justification I can find on spending such fortune on a single title.
Or you know nothing. They gave 0 information on RDR 2 for a very long time and that turned out just fine.i dunno what to think of infinite, but i can tell you now being so secretive about it in this age isn't very smart
not releasing whatever the multiplayer is now and iterating on it isn't very smart
especially considering 343 kinda sucks
(also "heard at GDC" is right up there with Uncle at Gamecube Hut")

Halo Destiny ok cool.
Destiny had that budget planned for the entire 10 year franchise plan including marketing. This supposedly has it right now for just the development of this one game.
That is absolutely bonkers. MS could have bought several developers but they are spending it all on Halo.

That's a lot of coin.
If that $# is true, I'd imagine it includes the new game engine and marketing.
My idea was big budget doesn't mean good game. Even if we are breaking new records here.Destiny had that budget planned for the entire 10 year franchise plan including marketing. This supposedly has it right now for just the development of this one game.
