Seeing interviews microsoft hasn't changed the culture of who is making these games at all and they don't deserve the artist that made these and he should get a different job and move on.
>>719431687it's a fucking plastic action figure in front of generic megascans nature assets looking like every other UE5 project. it looks AWFUL. Halo 3 and the prerendered ads for Halo 3 is how it should look. this is nothing like that.

>>719431290343's retard dev team does not have the IQ to properly use id engine.
>>719430198>I hope the Threat Interactive guy declares a fatwa on Tim SweeneyI actually like the threat interactive guy just because he passionately plays a character in real life. But expecting him to do anything productive beyond grifting is missing the point.Also unreal engine doesn't need to be fixed. It's just developers not doing optimization. It would be nearly impossible to design unreal engine in a way that is both useful and can't be misused in a sub optimal way
HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES ARE THEY TRUSTING THE SAME RETARDED STUDIO WITH THIS SHIT?!MICROSOFT, YOU HAVE A TON OF FPS STUDIOS UNDER YOUR BELT NOW, USE THEM!
Why wouldn't they use the engine from Infinite? The brutes have been memed to death because they look like playdough but the game actually looks surprisingly good on PC and runs very well.
>>719429736>>719430408That is an actual fucking plastic toy
>>719433208Just say you hate halo
>>719429736Why can't 343 understand what metal looks like? It's all way too matte flat. He looks like a fucking plastic action figure. And why does Chief look fat and retired?Leave my boy alone, for fucks sakes.
>>719432981upgrading it would take more work and training people to use it would take more time. no need to train new hires because ue is a standard that they most likely already have experience in, and since microsoft has an extremely jewish contract worker system they use to cut costs that's important.
>>719433208Is that praise? Are you saying it looks photographed?
Microsoft never tires of raping John Alien Killer......fuckin bastards man
>>719429736>>719430408Looks like a promotional shot of a figurine.Why does UE5 look like this? Is it just baked into the engine that everything looks like a plastic toy or what? It's hard to assume that it's only because UE5 is still relatively new and devs aren't used to it. 4 and 3 didn't look like this.
>>719432969>tfw realizing we will never get a Raven Halo game, an id software Halo game, an Arkane Halo game etc. etc. despite microsoft owning all of them.
>>719432720you can't optimize UE5, that engine is unfixable.you can disable lumen, nanite, not render grass, render the game at 128x72 and it will still run at 15-30fps on a low end card.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRevtS9uVN0
>>719431105I'm not gonna pretend Halo Legends didn't work on me but it's not 2010 anymore.
>>719433625you have no idea what you're talking about
>>719433361Back when 343i was making Halo 4, or right after its release, there was a bunch of interviews of staff members. A common sentiment was they didn't like Halo or had never even played Halo. No reason to assume that sentiment dissipated over time.
>>719433361>doesn't 343 understand they used a satin paint finish on the spartan armor? Eggshell would've been ok, but matte? they could've asked me
>>719433745yes I have
>>719433814>can't even speak proper englishlol figured. god i miss the old internet
>>719433784>We want the next Halo game to look like the Halo 3 dioramaThis would be cool if it was intentional, but it's not cuz that's just what every unreal engine 5 game looks like.
>>719433852haven't seen your argument yet
>>719433341Don't be a fag and act like you don't know that one of the biggest criticisms of 343s Halo, outside of the narrative and themes being completely shaboinged is the armor designs and textures.4 and 5 is so fucking hideous, the Spartans look like they're about to transform into cars.So they corrected it, and still don't know how to texture metal properly, so everything that should look like metal comes out as flat as can be.Chief in Bungie's Halos looked like green metal. Chief, and all the Spartans now look like they're bad 40k miniatures slathered in so much matte paint it looks like they just finished painting a Picasso.It's abso-fucking-lutely atrocious.
>>719433782I still to this day why they would give a popular property to people that hate it. Indifferent? Sure, that in of itself has produced neat stuff. Hate? It has only worked exactly once and that was Starship Troopers, and that only works if you ignore the intention of the film.
>>719433569>It's hard to assume that it's only because UE5 >Why does UE5 look like this? Is it just baked into the engine that everything looks like a plastic toy or what?You make it look easy
>>719433915sorry but i'm not gonna bother arguing with an 80iq third worlder
Reminder 343 though this was a good evolution of the Elite design.
>>719430408Somebody is trying to sell toys again

>>719434190your skin is the same color as poop lol
damn chief really let himself go huh? lay of the burgers you fat fuck
>>719433919Starship Troopers is satire, but ends up being so cool and heroic that the satire and all the "problems" introduced in the movie doesn't have the intended effect.>The government is controlling people. It's a propagandist government! The war machine is evil!Yeah, okay, alright, but it's cool though. So nobody cares about all that. I want to be a Starship Trooper.
>>719434018bungie ruined elites in reach. Last time I played halo was halo VR and I had stop and stare at my boy how I remembered him. Halo 2 elites even hit different even though I still like them
>>719434291>still no argument
>>719430834A hungry man thinks of bread
I have not played a single 343i game once, in my entire life.
>>719434415Based, but the helmets that fully cover the Elite's faces like the Ranger, Spec Ops and Ranger aren't too bad.
>>719434415I adore the Reach Elite design. They look fucking TOUGH. They look like a goddamn threat. When Noble 6 gets pounced on and you end up chasing them down that dark corridor and that music hits.Kino.
>>719434018>dorky ass helmet>megaman-tier boots>uncovered arms to show off his 95lb bench press armsThis looks like a severely autistic teenage DeviantArt user's OC. Like someone attempted to describe what a typical elite looks like to the character designers but he never bothered to show them pictures of the bastards.

>>719431618>>719430408I was thinking the same shit. This looks fucking hilarious like something out of a arby n the chief skit.>Arbiturr come look I'm soooo UNREAAAAALLL
>>719433990...make what look easy
>>719434375The real rabbit hole is knowing the movie is supposed to be satire but if you really pay attention the only thing sketchy is the question of whether the bugs attacking earth is a false flag or not. Everything else about the society is charitably presented
>>719434825... it really does look like what chief would do to himself in Unreal while Arby shakes his head.
>>719434845Supposedly, according to the DvD commentary I have, it is because Verhoven (Director) and the writer were butting heads on the book and whether it was good or not.
>>719434778That's so fucking funny. They knew exactly the fat fucks they were appealing to. You cannot say they didn't understand their target audience 100%
>>719434614Uh, that second Ranger should be an Ultra.
>>719429736Do people honestly think announcing something in Unreal Engine is supposed to be exciting?
>>719434875There's a very real reason why Jon always kept using Halo Reach.
>>719434707They made them necklets and their feet are the most prominent part of their body now with big toes. The classic elites look majestic.
>>719434841assuming it's UE5logic is telling you it's the artist and not UE5 but you're asking what's with UE5 anyway
>>719429736>>719430408Why does it look like a plastic toy figure? What the fuck is this art style?
>>719434845There's no real implication that the Federation needs to false flag to drive up recruitment numbers. The society is already highly patriotic and militarized, and Rico and his friends are all excited to join the military the second they get out of school. The attack on Buenos Ares doesn't even take place until at least a few weeks or probably even months into their basic training.>>719434945Verhoven in an interview specifically referred to the asteroid as a bug attack, though it's in an offhanded comment in relation to something else. IIRC bugs come out of the asteroid after the impact, too, so if one really wants it to be a false flag they have to come up with a dumbass scenario in which the Federation not only drops a rock on a major city, but also filled it with bugs, rather than just firing a nuke at BA or something instead.
>>719435194But I keep seeing UE5 games that look weird like this, if UE5 isn't the culprit that means a bunch of major developers are hiring on artists and graphic designers that are all suffering from some sort of Cal-Arts style mass proliferation phenomenon.
>>719430646Anon, game development take years, only 5.5 can be considered a production version and if you aren't making an open world game with dynamic time of day cycle, UE5 doesn't give you any benefit
>>719429736>>719430408>>719429863>>719430090>>719430198>Master Chonk
>>719430408The lack of details on his armor like dirt and grime is what makes it look so jarring. That looks fine in lower fidelity games but you need that shit if you're going all in on grafix
>>719429736im tired of UE5 slop
>>719432016They probably felt that layoff are inevitable and spent resources on making this presentation and rebranding. It doesn't even look like they have a vision of what to do next
>>719435408>b-but that would mean that a lot of people are incompetent!yes.
>>719429736Thought this was some action figure advert at firstLooks like plastic
>>719435408I'd have to know which specific problem you're talking about because I notice a broad range of problems. For me I hate temporal artifacts and stuff looking poorly filtured, but I don't think that's what you're talking about because OP is one of those crystal clear still renders and the game never looks like that.
>>719430408Reminds me how those power suits in Starship Troopers OVA anime looked.
Is it that hard to do Chief?
>>719430408Shit looks so assWhy is it so hard to keep using the Halo 2/3 design?
>>719435697I always suspected Bungie was inspired by that OVA.
>>719432981you know how Infinites dev cycle was plagued by numerous problems due to the whole cycle out multiple different devs just to repalce with new devs who had no idea how to use the engine and needed to learn it creating a feed back loop of wasting time teaching said devs teh engine instead of actually developing the game, their solution to that was to simply switch to an engine most of these temp devs are trained in
reminder that this is being made entirely by jeets and AI
>Reach came out in 200916 years and they still cant get this right.
>>719435713YeahHalo 2 and 3 was peak bungie and I never liked the 2nd armor design and they had throwback armors for multiplayer and those never looked right.
>>719434707And they are a fucking threat if you play on legendary. Constantly dodging and constantly pursuing you. I think the elites in Reach are the toughest in the whole series.
>>719435731Isn't this supposed to be the second remake of the original?
>>719430408So how does this sell a fucking game? Halo has fucking sucked ever since they left the 360 era and those games ran on literal potatoes. Forcing the no-fps engine with TAA and/or DLSS isn't making your GAME better. Just running worse.
>>719429736is this AI?no way
>>719435925You'd think they'd get one correct by now just by chance but nope.
>>719435581Okay, yes, but if it was a case of the hiring pool being shitters wouldn't it be more gradual in its proliferation, rather than suddenly popping up all at once as UE5 is released?>>719435648I don't know how else to describe it other than MC looks like an expensive figure. His armor looks like it's made out of plastic, or maybe even wax. MGS Delta looks like this too.
>>719436301it's because of people using the defaults instead of making their own stuff.
>>719435958>an elite zealot can face tank a spartan laser while still having shields on legendarythe only way to deal with those fuckers is by back smacking them
>>719429736there's no way Halo's physics can be remade in UE5.
>>719429736>another forced framegen lumen smearing dogshitfest that can barely stay locked at 60fps native with 5k hardwareHalo deserved better than this.
Has Microsoft figured out yet that the reason all their games suck ass is because they keep cycling out the devs for games with a fresh batch of Indians every 3 weeks yet or are they still doing that.
>>719429736>Halo switching to UE5 so they can use diploma farm pajeet labourers to crank out yet another shitty game but this time with DLSS+Framegen to reach the same fps as before while also losing all visual clarityIt's literally over for Halo.
>>719436590>or are they still doing thatwhy else do you think they switched to unreal 5
>>719434415i like the beefy halo 3 elites myself, safe for a few color details on their armor. i'm over it now but i was bummed we never got to fight them in 3
>>719432981>InfiniteI am still tremendously asshurt that there's no New Game+ option. The campaign is built around unlocking new gear and upgrading Chief's suit and by the time you unlock everything there's nothing to do. By the time you unlock the Wasp, a flying gunship that would make traveling to main and side missions a breeze, you have a single story mission left and the entire map is empty. There's nothing to use it on. It can't possibly be that hard to include an NG+ mode.Also the Bulldog shotgun sucks total fucking dick.
>Game studios are no longer a group of misfits that will fight each other constantly over their vision for a game while working their asses off for an engine to achieve that goal, instead, they are now revolving doors that have to use a generic engine so that the revolving door can be "efficient".Grim.
>>719436773there was supposed to be a dlc, but that obviously never happened due to retarded practices
i thought they spent half a billion on developing their own engine
>>719436590FROMsoft basically saying in an interview "uh the reason our games are decent and actually run properly is because we don't fire 90% of our dev team after release" was unreasonable in how refreshing it was.
>>719436854curry code made it unusable
>>719436949Fromsoft games are solid but their technical state is not worth praise at all.
>>719436301>I don't know how else to describe it other than MC looks like an expensive figure. His armor looks like it's made out of plastic, or maybe even wax. MGS Delta looks like this too.This is going to be PBR materials that are completely controllable by the artist. You can make realistic looking plastic, metal, fabric, wood, stone, glass, whatever you want in unreal. Before PBR materials the rendering wasn't a realistic simulation of anything so you faked the material with a suggestive exaggerated texture and specular for glossiness. Of course if the artist didn't use the material settings properly none of this matters. Both metal and plastic can be glossy. Actually the defining difference between plastic and metals is plastic has white color neutral reflections and metals have colored ones that match the color of the metal. However master chief is covered in thick matte paint here, so the material is paint and isn't incorrect or fake looking. It looks like real paint. People here criticize it for looking like a photo of a plastic figure which is to say it's realistically lit it just looks like the wrong material. But with a thick enough paint you couldn't tell if it was plastic or die cast metal figure underneath.I can't tell you what's right. When I look at green ammo crates they look metal because the paint isn't that thick. But if you look at a painted tank, aircraft, or aircraft carrier the material properties of the paint completely take over. So should talk about what kind of paint is on master chief? There's no canonical answer
>>719430408chunk master chief
>>719436678I'm bummed we didn't fight along side grunts when it's implied that wouldn't betray the elites like that
>>719437128>it's implied that wouldn't betray the elites like thatIs it? I read a few of the Halo books as a kid and got the impression the grunts typically hated their elites, and it was rare for an elite to treat his grunts like they weren't braindead fodder (even though they were).
343 would fuck it up but I'd love a spin-off game where you play as an Elite during the Unggoy Rebellion. There could be some side missions where you play as an early gen Spartan putting down human rebellions. Kinda like Halo 2 with MC and Arby.
>>719431198>343i wasted years of dev time making a new in-house engine only to fail in practice because it's M$ policy that 90% of their workforce has to be contractors with 18 months of employment
>>719433625I'm halfway through and this oblivion test is really flawedHe turned nanite off, but if the game doesn't have an old school lod system, that means its running everything at full detail. I can look in the distance and see that it's rendering the trees that are far away. He needs to run a UE5 game that doesn't use lumen or nanite to mimick the generation of games that can run on a gt1010. There's probably some indie game like that somewhere.
>>719429736>Fat>Big heads>Narrow shouldersLiteral humiliation ritual
>>719437896yes, I'm aware that you can't turn lumen and nanite off entirely, some aspects of it still run in the background, and I see it as an engine problem>He needs to run a UE5 game that doesn't use lumen or nanitemaybe RoA2? it's the only UE5 game that I never had any performance problems
>>719429736The 343 retards couldn't even use the engine they created from the ground up. Just kill Halo already.
>>719438337That's not what I mean. I've been told it's bad practice to use both lods and nanite on assets at the same time. So oblivion remaster is probably meant to use exclusively nanite. If it had lods as a fallback when you turn nanite off you'd see a huge performance benefit, and I think he said he set lods at low as they would go (which would have no effect if the game doesn't use lods). When he went indoors and it wasn't rendering a whole city or forest, he actually got 60fps. I wonder if he was capped and he could've turned the resolution and some settings back up and had a normalish looking game. If I'm right all he proved is that a game with modern poly detail and no lod system ran like shit. There's no engine that runs well with no lod system.
>>719437896e-sports games like the finals run fine because being able to run well on chink pc cafe builds is a priority. for indie games on ue5 there's pseudoregalia.
>>719432981The engine sucked ass plus they didn't have any documentation for Blam! because Bungie wouldn't give, so they just said fuck it and switch. It was something they wanted to do since Halo 4, but Bonnie kept holding off on it.
could the game logic run on unreal but keep the graphics "layer" in their old slipstream engine? i know shits welded together for game engines but sometimes i just wish we had some kinda modularity
>>719436678These designs are a nice cross between H1 and H2 elites. Not sure if that was intentional or not
>>719436389Is the noob combo a lost art?
>>719436678It would have not made a lot of sense in Halo 3, but there really should have been enemy elites in ODST, at least in the first half. What do we get instead? A few corpses and a voiceline mentioning it. Nothing more. Lame.
>>719432981Microsoft operates 343 like any other software company, they're heavily reliant on contractors so they can save money. It's a revolving door of workers. this is all well and good when you're using an industry standard engine like Unreal, but if you're using some in-house engine like Blam/Slipspace it's a nightmare. Workers spend half of their contract just learning the engine and then have to hack in some quick changes before they get kicked out when it ends. Full time employees have to spend all their time deciphering spaghetti code because they're unable to ask the people who wrote it.A good example of this was when Infinite launched; it didn't have a slayer playlist for some strange reason. It took an embarassing amount of time for 343 to add one in, which they explained was due to UI technical hurdles. In other words, the contractor who coded the menu left the project before the game released and no one else knew how to make a basic playlist addition (in a live service title)
halo died with halo 4only blizzcuck tier retards keep throwing their money at 343 hoping the next "halo" game will save the franchise
>>719441957Halo 4 was ok. Its 5 when they decided to go all in on trying to get the COD audience
>>719434738>This looks like a severely autistic teenage DeviantArt user's OC.I think it's extremely funny that you say that because it was on Deviantart where I saw these nuCovenant designs for the first time, and I though they were ugly as a sin. A little bit of me died when I found out they were oficial works.
>>719431191define flawlessshit was basically duct tape and spit
>>719433919Verhoeven hated it, but it's pretty clear that a ton of the other people working on the film were into the book and wanted to get the details right.Which is part of why there's a schism in the intended message clashing with the overall vibe.
The humiliation ritual continues after Infinite I see.>>719430408You sure they aren't trying to sell us on a Halo action figure?
>>719434738you have doubts that 343 hired deviantart autists to work on halo?
>>719429736Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise
>original creators let some random group of Texans make a whole web series about their game that revolved around a bunch of assholes>with a character who's whole purpose is to exist for gay jokes>on top of calling each other retarded often>and then having an elite knock up one of the guys (with them saying that's their whole purpose)>the show is tied to the actual game seriesIt'd never fly now. I'm still mad Junior wasn't in the last season.
>>719430408it looks like a toy diorama but it wasn't intentional. It's like the lighting calculations were made to render a world on a tiny scale (like that zeldalike with the fox or whatever) but applier to a normal halo game
Why are they remaking CE again?
>>719431687This shit looks plastic.Reach may no be the prettiest game ever, but the aesthetic itself was the peak of Halo. They should go more into the grungy/industrial military look instead of making some souless clean modern sci-fi slop.
>>719430408This looks like an AI generated image from a 2023 modelthe model and lighting look so fucking bad
>>719429736is this truly the future of vidya? nothing but soulless unreal engine sloppa? May God have mercy on our souls and save us from such nightmare.
>>719442104Not him, Halo 4 was not ok, it was shit pure shit, everything wrong with gaming, Reach already felt like it was larping as AAA slop, Halo 4 was pure AAA slop all the way down to the studio being full corporate vs Bungie's indie/AA spirit.
>>719435578Microsoft fires every employee every 18 months so they dont have to pay benefits
>>719430408No dude, it’s master chief, and he’s standing there holding that sword. This image is totally great, just like the old games!
>>719432190It does fix the lingering issue MS executives had where they kept firing people who only became befuddled with slip space formerly Sneed Blam Engine.Now I am going to need your best pajeet hate images because this change was made to facilitate inhaling and spitting out hindus for the development of further games.They could just lease the IP to any of their other studios (Coallition / Id Sfotware / Treyarch / Raven + Sledgehammer) and that would be enough for Halo fans, they would take it, they are desperate.Despite being incredibly incompetent with the brand, Microsoft executives still want a dedicated studio mandated by them for some Disney Villain reason.
>>719433607If I was in charge that would be my first executive mandate. Every studio gets to do their own Halo game their way based on Bungie's era lore.
>>719430408plastic
>>719429736Where's the diversity hires?
>>719436590>because they keep cycling out the devs for games with a fresh batch of IndiansActually.They kept cycling between interns.Everyone from Reddit to /v/ co-operated in making Halo 5 and Infinite 1 line of code each to the point it was almost like if Twitch was tasked to code a Halo game 1 word at a time.They now are facilitating their premises to allow the recycling of hindus.The AC must be insane.
Halo died after Halo 4Even 343 know that Halo 4 was the only fucking game they were going to make that was close to the franchise.Halo Infinite is a great game, but it's not Halo, they are parading around master chief's corpse and re-animating it just to keep the idea of Halo circulating.Just kill it off, I am fucking done, you are raping my dreams.
I love how they just throw away any plot point that seems unpopularSo we could have had a rogue robot faction but they died off screen lolThe endless are probably off screened too
>>719448180The rogue robots are occupying parts of Earth right now in the lore, actually..
>>719430408I see Chief wearing the good ol' Mark V suit. What's the problem here?
>>719448404they still can't decide if they want their god awful lore or not
>>719429736343 is genuinely the most incompetent AAA studio currently operating
>>719448563Well it is like Star Wars.Nostalgia bait and GRAPHX to hide the fact the brand is creatively bankrupt, going nowhere and still abusing all the good faith people had in the brand.They literally did this before with Infinite.Worse of all UE5 have dogshit gameplay, reason all of these are UE5 still shots you could do yourself with the engine if you wanted. There are Fortnite fan-made levels that look as good.Nobody is falling for this.The Halo fanbase moved to Doom and Helldivers respectively.It would be more profitable to kill the studio and lease the IP.
>>719448616>Be Microsoft>343i Can't deliver a good game in its entire existence>*shots Tango Softworks for delivering good games>Funds and rebrands 343i againCall me crazy but it seems to me it is a deliberate effort to tank Microsoft so a Chinese Tech company can buy them on the rebound.Nothing makes sense.
>>719448078Halo 4 killed Halo, even 343 knew this which is why they dropped everything regarding Halo 4 and 5 with Infinite and went to take inspiration from the Bungie Halo games, indies, and AA games over AAA slop because they knew they fucked the series up starting with that game. Video games are gameplay, they're not cutscenes and stories.
>>719448779>DoomThe latest release didn't do shit.Battlefield 6's beta on the other hand nearly killed /hg/. Even the latest Call of Duty didn't have the pull.
>>719448616All AAA studios are incompetent; they shouldn't even exist and they're corporate in a creative medium.
>>719448869>>719448616it's due to the IP. comics have now hit like crazy terrible sales figs despite being more accessible than ever but disney and WBD still keep putting out books because the ip is worth so much
>>719429736get ready to play it in 320p upscalled to 4k at 15fps on an RTX 5090
>>719435547Weak PC aura
>>719448965>The latest release didn't do shit.Single Player only, no co-op mods as of yet and the latest content added a day worth of gameplay at most.
>>719448903>ideo games are gameplay, they're not cutscenes and stories.The Bungle Halo games had plenty of cutscenes in them
>>719449515>>719448903>Video games are gameplay, they're not cutscenes and stories.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F7OgOCzph4We can have both, but 343 are literal fucking walking garbage
>>719430408Doesn’t look much different than 15 years ago
Why won't Microsoft shutdown 343? Their last good game was unironically Halo Wars 2 and that wasn't even made by 343. Halo is a dead franchise like many western game IPs. It's sad but they genuinely need to move on already.
>>71943040834- HALO STUDIOS HIRE THIS MAN
It's called Halo Studios.
>>719449209god damn that height over bore
>>719436773The Bulldog has one(1) place where it's useful and that's in the Jega boss fight. The Disruptor pistol seems like total irredeemable garbage though.
>>719434845>the only thing sketchy is the question of whether the bugs attacking earth is a false flagEven Verhoven himself confirms this is not the case. The false flag thing has always been fanfic that doesn't even make sense if you think about it for five seconds.
>>719449727It's like their what, 4th reboot in 4 games?
>>719430408Yeah, it's too clean
>>7194501634 was a direct sequel.5 was also a direct sequel.6 was a soft reboot, disregarding most of the Halo lore established in the previous games.
>>719449727this looks better though
>>719450216it's a 10 gorillion polygon asset with 18k textures, paid top dollar for indian labor. Watch cortago and master sir save the jewish children
>>719430408I sure loved Small Soldiers when I grow up lets turn a gritty AAA franchise into plastic CG cartoon shit.
>>719449515Did they interrupt you right when you were playing to try to emulate Call of Duty or were they just rewards that you got after completely big parts of levels.>>719449656Exactly, these faggots couldn't even give us proper boss fights until they realized their games sucked.
>>719430408>just started playing Reach>beautiful game so far>open this thread>Mattel Master ChiefYeah, I think I'll just finish the MCC and pretend that Halo has been dead since then.
>>719448180The Endless in their current state are literally just Drones that are somehow even less fun to fight. >Introduce new faction>Only make one enemy type for itEven the Flood in Halo 1 had three different enemy types.
>>719429736Say what you will about Halo Infinite, but they really nailed Master Chief's armor. What the fuck is this downgrade?
>>719429736Looks epic!
>>719450148Verhoeven is a treasure.Showgirls is brilliant.
>>719450614Don't bother with Halo 4.Especially don't touch Spartan Ops.
>>7194502464 retconned the entire lore of the original trilogy
>>7194506231 step forward 6 steps back is the Microsoft way
>>719450690That doesn't mean it's a reboot. Also it was never actually confirmed that the Forerunners were literally human.
Xbox will always be a joke when your Ace flagship franchise still doesn't have its shit together decades after Halo 3 + ODST.
>>719450746What's Playstation's flagship franchise? TLOU?
>>719430408saar, maybe we should not have come over in droves...i am seeing real-world consequences
>>719450746Xbox and PlayStation are a joke, that's why both are kill
>>719450846That was before the 6000 H1B visa requests, Anon.
>>719450723Master Queef went from being a cybernetically enhanced starship trooper character to a moping demented old man for TWO games and then in the third game he's hanging out with a mexican for some reason
>>719450782>>719450867PlayStation will always be the premier console for Japanese games. They had God of War that didn't shit the bed as bad as The Last of Us 2 did and the brand hasn't been soiled by failures like Halo never making it back to greatness. That's why people got a PS5 over a shitty Xbox console even when Gamepass is good value for its price.
>>719451051>PlayStation will always be the premier console for Japanese gamesNigga, where have you been for the past 15 years?lil bro still thinks in the mid 2000s.
>>719451034Absolutely. All 343 Chief does is mope about Cortana when really he only knew her for a few months. This is the same guy who lost his best friend super early on in the war. Sure losing another friend is sad but he should be used to it by now. Even if it's a naked younger AI version of his mom.
>>719451051>PlayStation will always be the premier console for Japanese gamesThe same PlayStation that killed Japan Studios? The same PlayStation that inverted the X and O button layout in Japan? The same PlayStation that's selling so bad that both news channels and vtubers mock their lack of games? They don't even have Momotaru Densetsu for fuck's sake.
>>719451034That still doesn't mean its a reboot
>>719451381yeah it does it's not even the same characters
>>719451051>PlayStation will always be the premier console for Japanese gamesJap jank is pretty worthless to me. The few worth playing are usually multiplat.
>>719429736why does UE make everything look like plastic?is it sort of like a default setting or are devs doing that on purpose?
>>719451612Look at Halo Infinite. It's not an accident.
>>719451051>PlayStation will always be the premier console for Japanese gameslmao, not anymore, that belongs to the Switch, and now they're also on PC thanks to Steam, keep coping Snoy faggot, HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
>>719450614pretend?
>>719430408Actually looks cool as a toy figurine, would play a game properly themed around that.
>>719430408Massar Chief sir
Does anyone even care about Halo anymore? It seems like a dead franchise like Samus games.
>>719452484Metroid is fine, dumb frogposter.
>>719452484nahthe old fans dont care about anything made after reachand zoomers dont care about halo period
>>719431003>and sell 2.5 million copies.2.5 - 1
>>719452484I brought Infinite's campaign and I feel scammed. The mp was fun at first, but it got stagnant fast. Lack of updates for the first three years and monetization out the ass killed all interest I had. I couldn't even put the damn colors I wanted on my spartan, and let's not talk about armor pieces.I don't care about (another) worthless remake when mods exist.I'll probably pirate the next new sp game if it ever comes out. MP? I'll have to see if the customs are fun.
>>719432969They changed the name of the studio, what more could you want?
>>719453038infinite is so hilariously bad. They make these giant maps but then highlight you to all your enemies by glowing red across the map. I guess that was added so you could run around with the legendary skins or whatever
>>719442361and it still looks and plays better than most UE5 games
>>719452484It shouldn't have ever blew up like it did. Microsoft and Sony damaged the way games should be marketed. I used to want Metroid to be big, but when I got older, I realized when anything gets big, it goes to shit, I'm happy with where Metroid is and hopes it stays there forever.
>>719429736He looks like an action figure
if this lady still works there i am required to play her game. she is a cute
>>719431330PARRY IT
