I don’t get how Halo releasing on PlayStation isn’t a bigger deal. It’s basically Xbox surrendering their multi-generation flagship series. It’s like if Nintendo just let PlayStation have Mario and Zelda
>>741486423Xbox is a drop in the bucket to MicrosoftMicrosoft spent over $68 billion just to acquire Activision Blizzard to absorb into the Xbox ecosystemNintendo's whole ass market cap is like $51.2 billion.
>>741486423>theirBungie can do whateever the fuck they want
>>741486423Everything is getting ported to everything nowadays, and Xbox has been in a death spiral for a while now, so it's not that surprising. Maybe it's shocking for people who weren't around for the same thing to happen to Sega.
It will be the first and last halo game not on Microsoft devices based on the exclusivity commitments the new leadership have expressed. The old management were complete retards though. They had zero understanding of what brand association is.
Halo was never good
>>741486423Halo isn't as relevant as it was ten years ago, plus Forza Horizon 5 already ate up the novelty of it.
>>741486423Halo is a book series. Whoever disagrees with me is a fucking MORON. Have fun going through the same exact story a third time.
>>741486812Halo CE is on the Apple Macintosh.
>>741486994They're releasing an updated book with changes.
>>741486423Halo stopped being a relevant franchise after Reach.Halo Reach is 16 years old.
>>741487775I've read it's just updated junctions but it would make no sense to only introduce Brutes in the third book anymore. They need to rewrite that part.
>>741487775Cortana's rampancy getting Chief frustrated in First Strike is something we don't see in the games. I fucking wish John was allowed to have these emotions in the games.
>>741486632>Nintendo's whole ass market cap is like $51.2 billion.Pokemon alone would cost way more>>741486423Nobody cares about Halo anymore. It's dead. This shitty demake isn't gonna have multiplayer. To play the co-op Sony fanboys are gonna have to fork over money for PS+ hahaha>Halo: Campaign Evolved split screen on PS5: "both accounts will need to have PlayStation Plus and be linked to a Microsoft account. Having these active PlayStation Plus subscriptions will also provide access to online co-op play."
>>741488791Maybe Halo should have a TCG too.Actually, it would be fucking cool. Halo has so many characters and locations, they could fill up that space fast.
>>741487661somehow runs and looks worse on a g4 mac that's more powerful than an xbox
>>741489091You have to thank Gearbox for that amazing effort.
Gaylo has always sucked ass, you fucking toddler. Only literal Xbox babies ever gave jack shit about that piece of trash.
When I was a kid I didn't even notice the planet was a halo because I couldn't understand english. I thought it was a normal planet. lol
>>741489203Who the fuck still makes posts like these? ahahah
Humans are Forerunners.
>>741489320And Luffy doesn't go above gear 2. Trust me, I'm a fan, you are all wrong for continuing reading stories past the point I did.
Halo hasn't been remotely relevant since Reach. The 343i games are almost universally disregarded by old fans.
>>741489320And locusts are a real race not made by COG. What else are you gonna tell us?
>>741486423halo is not releasing on ps, it's a 343 studios game that looks like halo, but isn't halo.trust me. they're going to fuck it up somehow.343 has fucked up consistently for everyone of their entries, and they WILL do so again.
>>741486423Halo is a dead franchise.
>>741486423>ZeldaOnly BTW negros think Zelda was ever a flagship title, it always sold like shit before that.Mario and Pokemon are the flagships.
>>741489653Because Microsoft keeps the best parts in the books.How many times in the fucking games have the characters been in trouble inside the slipspace stream? Because they do a lot in the books.In Divine Wind for example, a covenant faction is forced to reemerge at the same location of a plasma explosion. Half of the fucking ship suffers an agonizing death in real time.And Halo Infinite? Zeta had The Siege of Acre happening in space. The fuck did they show you in the games? The after match?They don't show you the torture the human characters were forced to endure. You don't even get to know Lucas Browning in the game. Even tho he's so important in Rubicon Protocol and Edge of Dawn.
>B-but green man shooting aliens is what I want!! Pls Microsoft plsplspls just give me green man shooting aliiiens!! This what Halo is about!!
>>741486423Because most of the people who are passionate enough to be vocal about this stopped caring after Halo 5. The current Halo fanbase will eat anything. One of the most popular memes in the spanish speaking Halo community is ironically posting "Halo murió en Reach", to make fun of people who think the series stopped being good after Reach. They don't care about quality, they just want to consume.
>>741486423The difference is that Mario and Zelda are still huge; no one has cared for Halo since ODST as everything after was complete shite.
>>741492104but playstation don't have any ip like mario or zelda or even Halo. Halo is like the only reason Megablocks survived for years, no sony ip has power like that
>>741486423Even halo fans hate halo now, why would snoys care, especially about some shitty demake
>>741492180
>>741486423Microsoft has done nothing with Halo but tarnish the IP for the past 15 years. Nobody cares anymore. An entire generation grew up while the IP was a failure.
>>741492180Man, imagine telling a ps fan from the late 90s and early 2000s "all those series you like? they are all dead, Sony replaced them with an ugly cavewoman that fights robot dinosaurs and a lesbian from two zombie games that they keep remaking constantly"
>>741492246I love Halo. It's easily one of the best written franchises I follow. But you need to enjoy literature. Or you won't see Escharum funeral. Did you... did you read Escharum's funeral? No?
>>741492180Sony has God of War. But Snoys are so busy gaslighting themselves into just hating other consoles that they forget negative feedback is extremelly important.And if Sony doesn't receive any negative feedback from anyone, they're allowed to fuck the IP in whatever many ways they want.That's why the franchise is perma stuck in the soiboy phase.
>>741486423>Fake Halo game.Doesn't count.
>>741488724He has emotions in the show and you guys flipoed your shit
>>741486423Halo used to be the reason you bought an Xbox. Now it has to be on PC and PS4 to stay relevant. I think that says enough.
>>741486423Halo itself is no longer a big deal.
>>741493160I did not see the show. I am not going back in the story again. Sorry but I refuse.
>>741494102The show genuinely, unironically, really hurts. It takes effort to make a show THAT bad. It's bad, not just as an adaptation, but as a TV show in general.
>>741494245Yeah, just the books for me. There's more world building in a character just drinking in a bar somewhere in the universe than the entire game or the show.you'd have to let me walk around the cities like in RDR or Final Fantasy XII to give me this type of immersion in a game.And for the show, I won't watch that shit. Don't even bother me with that.
If I asked who this character, what he did and who's he with now, game onliers would only say "duuuuuuurr why is halo not the green man shooting aliens duuuuur. I miss when Haslo was the green man shooting alienz duuuuuur"
>>741494748The books can be variable in quality, but the Forerunner Trilogy is kind of a guilty pleasure. Sure, It was a massive retcon and the logic of it is absurd (and not in a good way), but Greg Bear somehow pulled it off for the most part. Do you know how good of a writer you have to be to make Frank O'Connor's fanfiction tier worldbuilding sound canon?
>>741495329The forerunner trilogy was the begining of a plot that actually made sense. Unlike whatever the fuck Halo 3 was.
>>741495402Halo 3 is weird because the original writer for Halo 2 left thanks to the clusterfuck of a development cycle 2 had, leading to the backup writers trying to patch up something while letting bullshit slip through the cracks, such as Frank O'Connor's terminals and Marty O'Donnell's killing off of Miranda and Johnson for drama. Story wise, it's nothing but "hype moments and aura," yet it kinda needed to be that since all of the 2 removed the elites as an enemy faction and the intrigue plot left little room for something else to take over. Ypou can even see this on ODST, where nothing really happens but the game is carried by atmosphere and tone alone.
>>741495329I read the first one and it didn't feel anything like Halo? Not exactly in a bad way, kinda makes me want to do puzzles in some halo spinoff >>741495845>Marty O'Donnell's killing off of Miranda and Johnson for drama.why did he say that Johnson is alive recently?
>>741496281Johnson should've been killed at the same time Keyes was. He survived because of some stupid bullshit about radiation. Miranda was killed because she isn't in the books, imo. And no one wanted her to be there.You know when filler characters appear in anime and get killed fast? That's similar.
>>741497034https://youtu.be/fqVRCmIbVeU?t=1205I meant what Marty said here at 20:50. Warning: cringe
>>741486423It's sad (pathetic, grim, absurd, almost funny) that Microsoft lost to a game console that hasn't had any games since its inception.
>>741497034They should have had her Put on a Bus. I don't see why Keyes's daughter had to die.
>>741486423It's because console wars are dumb and the primary reason PC has no current mascot.
>>741496281>>741497034Johnson survived initially because of "radiation" but that was retconned as a coverup for his augmentations that messed with his spine, which is just a handwave that really means "he fought his way out because hes Johnson ooh rah" which really means "we didn't want to throw away this character.">why did he say that Johnson is alive recently?When was this said? Is it referring to Johnson's death in 3?
>>741497593PC has Gordon Freeman. But Valve doesn't make games because they have Steam.
>>741497530Characters die all the time in this series, desu.And they couldn't predict in the future people would write stories about old characters. Lord Hood and a couple of ancient characters were featured in Empty Throne, for example.
>>741497593yet gaben pretends that gordon freeman is still relevant
Why would they keep Johnson alive? lmaoThey literally have an academia named after him.
>>741497641>>741497881Is Gordon the mascot or is it the HEV suit?
>>741497825Honestly, I kinda feel bad for 343 in this regard. A post-3 story had little to go off of or legacy character to carry it. I'm sure Bungie had notes, but the writing in the old games was a sort of trial by fire while also having that Bungie flavor of biblical+James Cameron's "Aliens" feel.>>741497907Worst case scenario, its nostalgia money. 343's characters dropped the ball. Which stinks because I kinda liked Locke, or at least the idea of him. The voice is so cool.
>>741497947They're one in the same, really. Its like Master Chief and his armor.
>>741486423it was supposed to be an emblem of console exclusivity ending, the BIG xbox exclusive finally showing up on playstation, but of course sony decided they actually quite liked forcing people to buy PS5s for a whole 2 games and decided to pull the ladder up, so now it's just a sign of just how little microsoft cares about halo now considering they were just fine cancelling the gears port in retaliation
>>741498141Locke had the honor to kill a character that was well above his pay grade (Jul).One of the few characters to have an interesting interaction with Halsey.
>>741498178Hmm, I'll believe it for now.
>>741489091>>741489170most macs came with really shitty GPUs. if you wanted to play console ports without horrible performance you basically needed to use an upgraded graphics card in a powermac, or wait a few years for macs newer than the game to catch up.the last powerbook G4s from 2005 had GPUs just barely good enough to run halo as well as on xbox, at high settings 640x480 30fps. higher resolutions would not get stable 30.it was grim. it's surprising how many games got mac ports back then when they ran like dogshit on most macs.
Locke was also cucked by the Didact in Epitaph. As it's revealed there (100% canon btw) he was the key factor in the release of John out of his cryptum.
>>741489292You have to understand snoys are all teenagers who can’t afford other platforms
Jega, Ilsa Zane, Severan.No one else matters.
Halo puttered out after 4 and never really regained footingInfinite's multiplayer DID have a very strong Steam launch initially though, there's an interest in this series being good again
>>741498386343's plots revolving around ONI glowie shit is unironically great.>Jul and his covenant being space Al-Qaeda, and covertly funded by ONI to destabilize the sanghelli>ONI trying to enact genocide on on the elites by poisoning the food supply>The inner colonies being a police/surveillance state>Argent Moon from Halo 5 being a facility where they tested biological warfare and researched forerunner mcguffins>Hunt the Truth>The scramble to cover up and mitigate the fact that the made super-soldiers out of child soldiers now that they didn't have the Covenant as an excuse anymore>Cortana in 5's last mission implying that she knows a lot about Osiris, a black ops team, which was probably setting up her exposing ONI's dirty laundry in what was supposed to be 6Unfortunately, 5 was *executed* poorly and is the "Potential Man" of the franchise. All of that buildup had no payoff.
>>741498842What about... the created?
>>741499014Oh I fucking love ONI. They made Rion's Forge trilogy so great.
>>741498871Steam numbers don't matter, the main playerbase is on xbox even if xbox is currently "dead"
>>741486423>I don’t get how Halo releasing on PlayStation isn’t a bigger deal.Halo is dead that's why, nobody cares about the IP, or any game past 3/Reach/ODST
>>741498701FUCK I forgot about that. What a needless retcon. Still, Epitaph was good because Greg Bear was in the middle of writing it before he died and the audiobook was read by The Didact's voice actor. It just sucks that it speedran Cortana's character development offscreen and outsourced it to The Didact. At least the implication that her rampancy was influenced by the gravemind in halo 2 like his breakdown in The Burn was cool as hell and a nice callback to those old theories of the Cortana flashbacks in 3.
>>741499067"And they've always been there. Plotting and scheming because Cortana never gave a flying FUCK about them"
>>741499359Oh I didn't know that fact about the book and I've listened to the podcast with Kelly about it. Maybe I missed that part. But it's a cool fact. Makes me appreciate it even more.
>>741499512It was at the end, during Cortana's conversation with him. The Flood playing 4D chess with Cortana, while also calling back to Mendicant Bias's betrayal wasn't unnoticed when I heard it. If The Didact wasn't there, The Gravemind probably would have had a divided galaxy in shambles that was ripe for the picking.
>>7414864231. halo is boring now2. it's a shitty remake by the same devs who made the last several bad halo games3. microsoft just announced they aren't making multiplats anymore and only previously announced games will come out on playstation, meaning (hypothetically) this will be the only halo game on playstation and there's nothing to gain from supporting it(yes they'll 180 on this in a year or so but we have to play along until then)
"Dovo Nesto, are you going to use the Domain to avenge my planet?""... nnnnyooo- maybe, my child."
>>741499758Oh no, I was talking about the first spoiler. I know that scene in the Burn, but iirc that was the Didact, right? The gravemind fucked with his head so much his wife had to intervene.
It's canon that the gravemind put cuck thoughts inside the Didact's head.
>>741486423>Halo releasing on PlayStation isn’t a bigger deaBecause Halo has been raped into a nearly unreasonable state and Halo hasn't been good in 15 years.
Every time something doesn't fit the universe of Halo anymore, it gets catapulted out of the galaxy like Poochie the Dog.Like those two living percursors. lmao
>>741486423Microsoft murdered Halo’s relevance over a decade ago, pretended like they were trying to get back on track with Infinite, then pissed in everyone’s faces again, and now they’re just cranking out yet another lazy copy/paste of the original with a prettier coat of paint and sprint added, and as someone who has already bought that game four fucking times between OG, CEA, MCC Xbone, and MCC Steam why I should bother again. They could have added stuff to the campaign, like showing Arbiter pre-H2, or maybe adding in things that Bungie didn’t have time/tech to originally, but they pussied out again because they’re terrified of angering the autists who want everything to look and feel exactly like they remember.Even with the new missions, it could have been something cool from Fall of Reach or First Strike, but they went with some random OC nonsense that nobody asked for.
>>741500053Yup. That Burn. The concept of an entire region of space being a psychic miasma straight out of Warhammer was fun as hell. 343 didn't deserve Greg Bear, man.Hopefully the Flood revival they were setting up in fucking blog posts has a cool payoff.>>741500191Greg Bear is such a great writer that he made space alien cucking via mental clones somehow compelling. >That one scene where The Librarian was telling the Catalog guy that The Didact FUCKS and implied that she loves the idea of two studs was gold.
>>741491097Theyre not "gonna" fuck it up somehow.Its ALREADY FUCKED.NO MP.3RD PERSON VOMIT.Its shit
>>741500467And it was copied out of hyperion too. The Domain branched through the entire galaxy similar to how the church of the last attonement wanted to govern the galaxy.
>>741500680Oh wait no, it was the shrike only. The church only prophetized about it. I didn't read all the cantos yet.
>>741500467What's that flood revival post? I haven't read it yet.Also I would also say Kelly Gay is a good author too... The Rubicon Protocol, Epitaph and the Ace of Spades triology, those to me were all incredible books. Edge of Dawn, eh. I liked Jega's parts. Have yet to read Fractures.
>>741500680>>741500748Honestly, Halo ripping off of other works is kind of it's whole deal. CE ripped off Ringworld, Aliens, Ghost in the Shell, Starship Troopers, and classic Marathon. Hell, the Engineers you see in ODST are just reskins of the Compilers in Marathon, which are just ripoffs of those red cloaked guys in Babylon 5.
>>741492180I'd argue Gran Turismo,I've always considered that the best racing franchise in gaming even though Forza is decent
>>741500972lol Marathon is kind of a given. But the first time I read Marathon's lore my soul sunk seeing how much of that was copied to Halo. There's a couple of recent ones too. I listened to Waypoint Chronicles recently, there was a chapter called "Rendezvous With Ramen", it's a reference to the book "Rendezvous With Ramma".Also another good one that reminded me of the Forerunners was the Xeelee Sequence. But there are hundreds of series and books with interstellar wars for it to just be one reference.
>>741500668>3RD PERSON VOMIT.It’s a fucking optional skull that you can toggle, and doesn’t affect the gameplay at all, you overdramatic cunt.
>>741500897Check the Waypoint Chronicles. It's a damn shame plot points this big are stuck as these, which is standard for 343. Spoiler for a TLDR which contains spoilers lol: A Spartan gets infected when a digsite teem finds an Ancient Human ship and escapes to an isolated planet where Covenant cultists that worship the Flood get subsumed. There's a planet out there thats currently being taken over by the Flood.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H9Pj2YhpyQ&list=PLEiasGJGvBNBsHPULIAulGrzcXDlN3SZB&index=4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uhPK9XCj8k&list=PLEiasGJGvBNBsHPULIAulGrzcXDlN3SZB&index=21
console shooters for retards aren't a big deal
You now remember the golden age of Xbox from 2001 to 2013>Halo 2, Halo 3 and Reach>Gears 2 and Gears 3>CoD4, MW2>WaW, Black Ops>Mass Effect>Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim>Dead Space>GTA4 and GTA5>BioShock>Left 4 Dead>LIMBO>Crackdown with the Halo 3 Beta>Dead Rising>Kameo>Viva Pinata>Red Dead Redemption>Alan Wake>Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Battlefront 2, Republic Commando>Brute Force >Ninja Gaiden Black>Splinter Cell>Burnout 3 Takedown
>>741501380Oh I did. Those were so great. I have the audibook, had to buy it after all that advertisement they did. I usually buy them paperback + digital from the google store.
>>741486423Nobody really cares about halo anymore after like 3 flops in a row over the course of 15 years. People would have cared about halo if they just stopped at reach and then suddenly came out with another game all these years later.
>>741501418You forgot Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon. Kinda crazy Xbox had exclusive JRPGs. They never came close to being successful in the Japanese market but Microsoft was really trying in the 360 days
>>741501380The flood will have to wait though. It's time for Mass Effect.
>>741486994It was a fun book series up until they let Karen Traviss write Glasslands.Then everything slowly went to shit in the post H4 stuff.
>>741501289>But the first time I read Marathon's lore my soul sunk seeing how much of that was copied to HaloCE was supposed to be a Marathon sequel at one point. >Just look at the old Cortana letters, and the scrapped plot point of Cortana going rampant and mad with power (which was why Two Betrayals was called that. Cortana was supposed to betray you).>Chief being referred to specifically as a cyborg>Shooting Keyes, Cortana labels you as Rampant like the Security Officer in Infinity>The Autumn being a "Marathon" class implies that the Marathon was the first in its class and all ships named after it follow its name just like IRL vessels>The Flood being the Mushroom Zombies that were scrapped in Durandal>The Covenant being a refined Phfor and the Banished being a modern interpretation sans the slaveryAnd in 343's stories, which are probably inspired by notes left by Bungie after Reach>That one ODST that became a bioroid in one of the books>The reality warping abilities of the Flood being a parallel to the W'rkncak'nr>The Tricala being a copy of the Trizene
Halo is like One Piece. The story will continue moving forward despite the nagging.
No words about Crash originally being a PlayStation mascot)
>>741486423Consoles are dead. Exclusives too.
They had no balls to make a game based off Rubicon Protocol (and the siege of Infinity) into a Halo Wars 3 game?Why is Microsoft so fucking stupid? I'd like to know.
>>741502212This makes too much sense. Modern franchises aren't allowed to just end. Dragon Ball just keeps going, Star Wars ran it's course, Halo cant conclude, MCU persists after Endgame (and superhero comics constantly rebooting and having events making it hell for newcomers), etc. I just want something new. Luckily, things like Helldivers and The Backrooms shows that there's a future with FRESH and UNIQUE MATERIAL.
>>741501418>Gears 2 and Gears 3 still stuck on the 360>Burnout ports never ever
>>741501418half of these were because the PS3 was hard to develop for
>>741502441the lack of spinoffs is mid boggling. Imagine pulling Infinity Ward out of the COD mines and having them do a Halo game where you play as a Marine, or have Obsidian make a Halo RPG. MS owns all of these studios yet has no games.
>>741502458I'm more surprised that Sony never did this with God of War. I'd actually love to read novels from the series. but no such thing exists.We could've had a novel during the blank period Kratos was the God of War in service of Ares.
>>741502441Personally I want the events of First Strike adapted into missions.When I heard Campaign Evolved was adding on new missions I hoped that was what they were doing, but no they just made up some random stuff from before CE's events - and not even what Chief did at Reach or anything
A dating sim with Tul' Juran and Mahkee 'Chava (if your into milfs)
GOATED franchise
>>741502716We never had a proper game set in Reach. Just the very final of the war. And very GOATED at fucking that.But the real one that stings to me is never having a proper game based on Harvest. Because that would just be ODST, human characters versus the covenant and an opportunity to tell the story of the first contact while introducing Johnson, Al Cygni, the motherfucking Tartarus along with other characters. I'd love to see Dadab, he was such a good character too.
Rumor has it that some Sony execs were under the impression that the buyout of Bungie would mean that they'd get Halo on Playstation. Since all those guys are friends behind the scenes they decided to make it happen.
>Dadab>In a game
>>741502458It's sucks when a series has a definitive end but they just keep dragging the story along. Gears of War 3 should have been the end to the narrative. Something like E-Day is fine but Gears of War 4 and 5 trying to continue the storyline was always gonna be a bad idea
>>741503265Albeit, it wasn't really a war. Just the covenant hopping from planet to planet and doing sum human extermination.
>>741502569Even Xbox players want remastered versions of Gears of War 2 and 3 already. It's stupid they just did another remaster of 1 again instead of the entire trilogy. I don't think anyone on Playstation even bought the Gears 1 port anyway so it was really kind of a waste of effort. We'll see if Sony players actually buy Halo
>>741503304I wouldn't be surprised. When MS bought Rare, they thought they owned Donkey Kong. When Marvel was bought in the 80's or 90's the company I cant remember thought they owned Superman.Sony buying Bungie for 1 Billion was stupid as hell. They were just desperate for an answer to the Activision buyout. Destiny is popular and I love Marathon, but they ain't worth a billion fucking dollars. Now there's layoffs because Sony though the company with notoriously bad management and crunch would deliver several Fortnites immediately didn't deliver. You just know they were pissed when Bungie couldn't fix TLOU Factions or plug the hole Concord left.
>>741486423Halo releasing on playstation would have been a big deal 16 years ago. Microsoft/343 has dragged the series through the mud so many times that it's basically a bargain bin IP now.
>>741502441>Why is Microsoft so fucking stupid?Because they're a software company that got big off of monopolization and buying the competition.>Windows as an OS has no real competition, as Linux is for nerds and Apple is a gated community. >Internet Explorer dominated because other browsers were bullied out of search results so badly that the US government had to get involved>MS bought Bungie just to deny Apple having anything good>MS attempted to buy Nintendo in an attempt to buy their way into gaming and were literately laughed out of the room>Bungie had to fight tooth and nail against MS just to make Halo good>MS isn't a tech company, so they designed the 360 so poorly that it melted itself due to shitty ventilation >MS buying Rare hoping they get Donkey Kong and then proceeding to do nothing with Rare>MS misinterpreted the data of Netflix's popularity and tried to advertise to gamers that you can watch TV on the Xbox One>The Xbox One being named Xbox One>The Xbox One in general>MS mandating that Halo be more like COD without understanding Halo's place in the Xbox ecosystem. Halo sells Xboxes, and COD is a multi-platform franchise.>Gamepass being a money sink>Xbox having no iconic franchises tied to it other than Halo (felted), Gears of War (MIA for years until now), and Forza (generic cars) despite MS owning all of these properties
>>741486423It's simply because Halo isn't the big franchise that it once was due to Microsoft's fumbling of the IP. If this had happened during, say, Halo 3's release people would be losing their shit
>>741503529>trying to continue the storyline was always gonna be a bad ideaCan say that about most IP these days. Companies are just too afraid to take risks and try something new so they just keep rehashing what already exists even if it does the storyline no good
>>741504738I don't care about any of that. I only care about Halo.
>>741486423Halo hasn't been good in like 50 years. Its not a big deal anymore
Chief is still floating in space, Humans are forerunners, Fall of Reach book > Halo: Reach the game No Halo games were made after 2011 the series ended there
>>741486423It's a sloppy outsourced remake of a 25 year old game, in a series that hasn't been good for the last 15 of it's 25 years.
>>741505437its integral to Halo's failure. Microsoft never deserved Halo and never learned how to manage IPs. They know what a killer software is, but they don't know how it ticks or how and why they should foster good ideas and projects. Just look at Hi-Fi Rush. "Green line must go up" and "Why is that green line higher than mine?" killed Halo because they don't know entertainment means maintaining a community instead of infinite growth. Capcom understands this with fucking Darkstalkers and that hasn't had a new game in 30 years while MS flops around with one of the most iconic scifi brands of the 21st Century.
>>741486423Nobody cares. Nobody would care if Spiderman ended up on Xbox either>YES THEY WOULDYouTube personalities and X accounts are not real people. Ask any random person at the store if they care that Spiderman is PlayStation exclusive and most people will either think you're talking about one of the movies for some reason or they genuinely won't care. Mystic, Colteastwood, Destin, Jez Corden, Grummz, Pirat_Nation, DreamcastGuy, RGT85, MBG, Fritanga, OhNoItsAlex and their fans are not at all representative of the real world and never will be when it comes to the amount of care anyone gives about video games. You'll have some who care that Halo is on PlayStation, but they will not even sniff being a moderate proportion of the people you ask in real life unless all you hang out with are people who go to gaming conventions.
>>741506285>YouTube personalities and X accounts are not real people.I forgot about Blue Butterly. And to clarify, I mean that these are not representative of real people in real life.
>>741486423Its always online garbage for a demake of game from a quarter of a century ago
>>741506285Spiderman helped sell the Playstation brand, despite 2 sucking dick. Xbox really fucked up letting go of Insomniac and letting the Marvel deal fall through.
>>741486632I guess it really is true - quantity just beats out quality and most gamers are brain dead retards. Imagine picking Call of Duty over Zelda, Mario, Metroid, etc. Ever since 4, every COD feels the same. Like MCU slop but with guns.
>>741503529wow theres a gears tactics game
Halo hasn't been good in 1000 years.
>>741505478SHUT UP
>>741488724Rampancy is a dumb concept and the soap drama plot in Halo 4 ruined whatever potential the game had.
>>741486423>I don’t get how Halo releasing on PlayStation isn’t a bigger dealim a huge halo fan and i was an xbl/gamepass subscriber since 2005 til last december. my last sony console was a ps2. from my experience and my own feelings, Halo fans arent a cult. Xbox players arent a cult and they dont care where it gets released and who can play it. When spencer said Halo would be on PC, i built a PC and didnt buy an Xbox Series X. have fun
>>741486423>>741486632also they're counting on windows being the main "console" of the next generationxbox as a service
>>741490857What the fuck is up with GOW lore anyway?Are they space faring or not?
>>741510728faggot
>>741511503he's the next generationconsoles are done. >but muh living roomdesktop in the living room, most people cut the cable anyway
>>741505478correct and factual
>>741505478the prophet of trvke
>>741486423>Needs two PS+ accounts + Microsoft Store account to play local split screen>The PS+ account needs to be paidlollmao evenThey'll try to do this same shit with fighting games in the future.
I bumped this thread I will bump it again
>>741510579The sending of Cortana to the domain was mildly interesting. At least in the comic book. Not so much in Halo 5... since, you know... they didn't even tell us how she got there. And didn't show us her navigating that dimension. Which was odd, but whatever.But nothing beats her being absolutelly fucked and frustrating Chief like crazy like she did in First Strike.
If I were running xbox I would cancel the PS5 port. Halo nostalgia is all the brand has. When people see Halo on PS5 in the store they're going to assume Xbox went the way of Sega.
Here's an idea.Adapt this book. It's great.You're welcome.
>>741515720>a handicapped (probably brown(probably female)) child on the front>it's great
>>741486901Halo 3 was incredible as a campaign and mp at the time it launched its been dead since then absolutely insane how shit the studio has turned into that have the ip in their hands atm
>>741515921That's the last surviving clone of Dr. Halsey, you chucklefuck.
>>741501418Viva Pinata showed Rare still had promise as a dev even after the acquisition. How did it go so wrong?
>>741516450Buying and playing Viva Pinata at the time: :(Remembering Viva Pinata now: :DThe story that sunk the company.
>>741516252doesn't matter, still a high likelihood of a diversity character. therefore shit product.
Halo is dead. nobody cares except old guys. I was just in a gaming/collectibles store. A guy in his forties was telling his zoomer son that a new halo was coming out, first one on PS5 and that kid was like "that's nice, dad, hope you like it". Gave zero fucks.
>>741516669You're a fucking idiot.
If only he knew there's a couple of female forerunner lesbians (actually, a polygamous relationship of 3 females) in Halo Waypoint Chronicles....... LOL
kek
Halo
Does anyone have that one Halo copypasta with all the books and encyclopedias? I want to check out Contact Harvest and First Strike.
>>741519206bro just read the book. Contact Harvest is a great standalone read.
>>741519367I want to read it but I don't own the book. That's why I'm asking for the copypasta.
The game looks like shit. It's honestly Silent Hill 2 HD tier. But its worse because instead of a group of under qualified wagecucks doing their best with incomplete code its actively and with intent being shit up."Nobody cares bout ts lil bro :skull:", basically.

the flood started because of DOGS
>>741486423Because it's not 2006 anymore you stupid millennial faggot. Halo means nothing anymore, hasn't meant anything since Halo Reach.
>>741486423it's an unreal engine 5 'remake' of a 25 year old game with 3 new levelsnobody gives a fuck, those who do will beat it in a single sitting and never touch it again
>>741486423Because Halo is way past its prime. No one cares.
>>741486423>Microsoft ports Halo to Playstation>25 years after it came out>PS babies spend their money on it>Microsoft makes extra billionsSeems like a win-win for me. A quarter century is long enough exclusivity.
>>741492679lollmao even
>>741502108>Cortana labels you as Rampant like the Security Officer in InfinityI don't remember this and I played Infinity relatively recently.
>>741521885He was a great guy.
>>741486423>I don’t get how Halo releasing on PlayStation isn’t a bigger deal.It's simple:>Halo was never really good aside decent moments>Halo as an IP is in the gutter as a rotting corpse>The IP is not relevant anymore>Halo stopped being a flagship title for the xbox consoleXbox managed to turn something big (to some) into a whimper. Nowhere near comparable to something like Sonic releasing on Nintendo platforms; that was huge.
>>741486423Halo hasn't been relevant in years. It's closer to when Lara Croft got put on Xbox. By that point it didn't matter and no one cared anymore.
>>741486632>blizzard is more valuable than nintendolol, lmao even.
>>741501418>golden age>posts og xbox>Shit like CoD, Mass Effect, Bethesda slop and budget Metal Gear by Ubisoft>Not Lost Odyssey, XBLIndies and Dorito's Crash CourseI am extremely dissapoint, anon
>>741486423Because it isn't 2004. Nobody, even the hardcore fanboys from back then, cares about Halo anymore. It has been run into the ground and shat on. It is OVER, and nobody cares about Xbox surrendering, because everyone with any sense knew they were already dead.
>>741502374>Sold +100 between only 2 platforms>Nintendo thriving because of exclusives>Xbox suffering so much they finally started to face the fact exclusives are important they are starting with them again after a decadeKeep deluding yourself>>741521680"It would sell gangbusters on PC" energy.
>>741486423>It’s basically Xbox surrenderingXbox died years ago. These are residual muscle spasms.
>>741488791>To play the co-op Sony fanboys are gonna have to fork over money for PS+ hahahaThis is incredible. And exactly why I've noped out of console gaming.
>>741522264Master Chief is literally the mascot for Xbox
>>741486423>surrendering their multi-generation flagship seriesIt was at one point. It isn't any more. Hence why its multi-platform now.The generation that adored Halo is long gone by about 16 years.
>>741522685So was Lara Croft for Playsation. But time passes and then eventually no one gives a fuck anymore. People stopped giving a fuck about Halo a long time ago
>>741486423Because it isn't real Halo.It's unreal slop that doesn't even include multiplayer.
>>741522868thisI can't emphasize how cucked ps5 players are getting by not getting MCC and getting only this instead
>>741522685I think he was replaced by... a car
>>741492816>>741501182you can't sell merch for gran turismo and god of war, so sony would never be on the level of mario, zelda, pokemon and halo.
>>741492816>Sony has God of Warlol
>>741522645>renting games from gaben with hardware 5x the costlmao
>>741502613>Imagine pulling Infinity Ward out of the COD mines and having them do a Halo game where you play as a MarineThat would be amazing. ODST is already a highpoint in the series; now we could have one from the grunt's point of view. (And maybe even from a Grunt's point of view.)
>>741492816>Sony has God of Warsony had a lot more during the ps1 era, they now turned into the cutsceneslop over the shoulder games now
>>741522528>"It would sell gangbusters on PC" energy.A quick google search reveals it sold almost 8 million copies on PC. Even after Gabe takes his cut, that's a nice amount of money for Microsoft.
>>741523441>A quick google search reveals it sold almost 8 million copies on PC*8 million licenses on PC
>>741486423Microsoft is a garbage game company. They never made Halo, they just bought it like every other thing coming from them. Microsoft doesn't create. So funny to me reading these faggots who think Halo was made by Microsoft. In fact, Halo is just a bad copy of Aliens too so nobody gives a fuck. Halo won't sell on the Playstation, it is a dead franchise.
>>741523441what sold 8 million? Halo franchise overall on pc? That's not worth the damage of xbox brand, you would have bought an xbox if not for the pc port
>>741486423Halo is a dead IP that's why. Did you forget about the 500 million dollar disaster that was infinite.
>>741523687>they just bought it like every other thing coming from them. how is it any different from playstation?
>>741523189God of War is very popular in Brazil.
>>741524278Playstation not only makes it's own games but also has had a long running program to fund 3rd parties with a promise of making them 1st party. What kind of retarded question is this? You don't belong in this board.
>>741524503God of War has been run into the ground and turned into another hyper story-focused sob slop like all other sony funded games not named helldivers.Also I played it on PC lol.
>>741492180Anon they have Gran Turismo
>>741524706>but also has had a long running program to fund 3rd parties with a promise of making them 1st party.so it's okay when playstation does it
>>741523787>what sold 8 million? Halo franchise overall on pc?The Master Chief Collection.Another quick google search tells me the entire Halo franchise sold 12 million copies >>741523574excuse me, sold 12 million licenses on PC.>That's not worth the damage of xbox brand, you would have bought an xbox if not for the pc portI already own an Xbox. I rarely play games on my PC. But there are other people who only play games on their PC, and Microsoft naturally tapped that market.
>>741524835>excuse me, sold 12 million licenses on PC.oh, it's a ps2 numbers kind of situation. 5 million Halos passes over my house just now
>>741524739(crickets)
>>741524829Sony doesn't buy ips Microslop retard, they fund them. Don't reply to me again you subhuman chimp.
>>741524986Anon its literally the best selling playstation ip, moreso than God of War. Hell its only playstation ip that's been around since the ps1
>>741524835>and Microsoft naturally tapped that market.They can't tap a market they have no chance to join. The few number they got on PC was due novelty of the series on the platform or flat out former Xbox audience moving from their console. In the end they predated their very core as brand for peanuts in perspective
>>741486423Because Halos 4 through Infinite have all been terrible and not what people want out of Halo, the MCC was a mess for literally half a decade before they got their heads out of their asses to patch it significantly, basically no one plays Halo Wars let alone Halo Wars 2, Spartan Assault is even less, and so you're left with a fanabse that hasn't had a good game or cared about the series for over a decade if not more at this point. Some people even checked out with Reach. Then you have the TV show which dragged its name through the mud even further.Halo as a brand has been dead in the water for years, that's why there's no real big splash. The same reason why next to no one cares that the new Gears of War is an "exclusive" since GoW has been equally as drug through the mud as Halo has. We also just found out that in order to play splitscreen co-op on Campaign Evolved you not only need two PSN accounts, but two Microsoft accounts tied to said PSN accounts, and have those PSN accounts paying for PS+. For local co-op. So that's ruining it right out of the gate and showing it's just standard affair for the series once more.
>>741486423>People in this thread praising 343 loreGuess I am aged out of /v/ now huh?
>>741523687>>741524706and all ps1 exclusives just happen to skip saturn for no reason. If you read magazines back then you would magically see titles announced for saturn suddenly became ps1 exclusives. They absolutely bought they way into the industry when they entered the console war. No one likes you hypocrite ass snoys
>>741525235Bungie lore was about crystals and vague shit. 343 got rid of that Final Fantasy nonesense.
>>741525241Saturn was the clusterfuck to develop for of its generation
>>741522059It was in reference to the Cyborg going rampant
>>741525241Fuck you and your faggot Sonic horse shit troon enabler mascot kys
>ugly NPCs>asset reuse out the arse>incoherent and dogshit art style>online only SINGLE PLAYER game>gamepass/xbox live/PS+ needed on each account to play split screen>2 player spit screen limit for console only>no split screen for PC>have to find all the skulls to unlock modifiers, so enjoy playing standard Halo CE for the millionth time on your first play through>no firefight to minimise replayability>no multiplayer>no theatre mode>no scoring mode>mark IV armour not available past the prequel missions IN A GAME WITH SKINS??!?>Steve Harvey’s voice…>Cortana’s face…>Unreal Engine 5>reusing reach and HALO 3 AI, both games more than a decade old>halo 5 animations>horseshit animations all around.

The best they could do for the flood’s big bad come back was import the pure forms straight form halo 3.>if you want to add brutes to non prequel missions, you also have to add flood to levels prior to when they’re introduced to the story>no new weapons or enemy types>no new cool additions from previous halo games like dual wielding, equipment, assassinations, throwing fusion coils, portable turrets, or thrusters and grapples>added sprint but without a fucking slide which is where all the fun from sprint comes from>halo 5 HUD>new dialogue by cortana baby sitting you like literally telling you to walk up to a vehicle to hijack it -__->seat switching is in but the lazy fucks couldn’t be bothered animating it, you just teleport>meanwhile gears bros are getting a new game built from the ground upBruh this game is an insult. This is what we’re going to present PlayStation players for their first halo experience?!?
>>741525546I find it weird they redoing Halo 1 again when porting Halo MCC to playstation would be easier and would make them more money
>>741525546playstation players care about anything other than graphics?
>>741499897Wait Cortana nuked the brutes?
>>741525653Except the MCC was a broken mess, if not still to this day
>>741525546Most the new skulls are stupid shit too, like adding a puke green Facebook filter over your screen
>>741525546Also forgot to add that halo 5 elites were spotted in test tubes in the prequel missions. They’re about to make their OC storm covenant genetically engineered abominations because they seem to think they need a lore explanation for every change in art style.
>>741525865works on my machine
>>741486423People play games not systems, why is this so hard to understand?
>>741526041That's what you think.
>>741525546>>online only SINGLE PLAYER gamewhat
>>741486423The night Halo 3 came out my roommate went to go pick it up from FUCKING GAMESTOP while I stayed home and got way too high on edibles. Played the entire campaign overnight with breaks to get even higher and my mind was in another galaxy."Finished the fight" and then masturbated to an incredible rolling full-body orgasm that left me light headed for a moment.Can't recommend Halo enough to any PlayStation die-hards.
>>741501418>Crackdown with the Halo 3 BetaOh fuck that memory was nearly deleted. Fuck I'm getting old.
>>741526297You need an internet connection to play. MS games have done it on the past. Gears 4 only let you play story mode offline but you couldn’t play horde mode offline even if it was by yourself in your own custom games lobby. Their cope excuse for this game is that it’s to allow cross progression between consoles.
>>741526480stupid xbox play anywhere initiative is forcing this online only structure. If games were only on xbox we would be able to play offline
>>741486423Money and pussy. You vidya faggots will never put down your controllers and decide to live life. Stay home
>>741525121Here are the most played PS5 games last month.I say again, crickets for your racing Sim. Nobody cares.
>>741525156Xbox and Sony do not compete with the PC market or Nintendo.Putting games on PC does not "harm" the PS/Xbox market.
>>741503529Nothing coalition has ever made is good, and E-day won't be either. There's literal trannies working there on this product.
>>741526717all my xbox friends went full pc because of the pc ports. Servers for gears of war 3 barely have any players now even tho it was active for the whole duration of xbox one gen. Everyone moved on to pc and it shows
>>741486423More like Gaylo lmao
>>741526163Correct and PS players rarely play any game tied to Xbox. >>741526717>Putting games on PC does not "harm" the PS/Xbox market.It does when they share the same software and release window.
>>741526898
>>741486632>Nintendo's whole ass market cap is like $51.2 billion.not for long, I just talked to two normies who are buying Switch 2's on Prime dayboth used to be diehard playstation people
>>741526717>Xbox and Sony do not compete with Nintendo>Videogame systems don't compete with other videogame systemsI think you're thinking too much on demographics.
>>741525753yes
>>741486423>sorry your house burnt down, i have a spare bed in the guest room that you can have>btw ive been pissing on it daily for close to 15 years>no, please, i insist
>>741525451Oh. I misread your post. Thanks for clarifying.
>>741529449if a woman said that you would take your chances
>>741526668Anon GT7 is literally the second best selling ps5 game
>>741529842if it was her sweatbed then yes
>>741526668Like xbox is any different retard
>>741486423>I don’t get how Halo releasing on PlayStation isn’t a bigger deal.We're so far into 343 Halo people just go ehh whatever.
>>741486423because no one cares about Halo in 2026. Forza Horizon 6 was a bigger deal because it's a relevant game played by more than fat, 30+ year old American southerners
>>741526668GT7 has more players than forza. Imagine lying like that stupid fuck
I still care about halo. Infinite was fun. It’s only real flaw was being buggy, and not having forge and split screen at launch. Other than that it had more pros than cons, but most importantly it was fun. Campaign evolved unironically feels like a step back.
>>741497034>>741497612Johnson was killed in Halo 1, Bungie just thought he was funny and put him in Halo 2 while intentionally not explaining how and riffing on it with the technician sergeant's dialogue.
>CricketsFucking loser
Chat is this true? >>741522284
>>741526898post the real picture
>>741486423Halo is dead and the Xbox brand is on the way out. It's like getting annoyed about the Shadow game for PS2.
>>741525235>>PeopleThese "People" receive paychecks every month from Microsoft and Halo Studios
Why did Microsoft split with Bungie anyway? Seems like an overly retarded move.
>>741534463my personal schizo theory is that they sent them in as double agents to fuck over sony as much as possible
Are they too retarded to remake the multiplayer?
I just found out there's a Halo arcade game. Has anyone played it?
>>741534527only works if they wanted to fuck around with activision too
>>741534567It's pretty fun yeah. I just wish there was a way to emulate it.
>>741505478$100,000,000% UNDENIABLE TRUTH
>>741486994>Halo is a book seriesI checked out after the Karen Traviss ones. Is there anything worth reading after that?
>>741534567I did but it’s typical arcade rail shooter slop where you just take damage and there’s nothing you can do about it, so you’re forced to keep paying to keep playing. It was shit. Plus it’s just halo CE again.
Halo could be saved if people came back to infinite. It’s a good game fuck me.
>>741536874>had one of the most fun (and best) nights a couple days ago>ran into the same players a few timesI love I can still enjoy it but it's a sign probably. Infinite has issues but I feel like it's still it's own kind of game and is better than CoD or anything. I'm weary of the new game and I've gotten pretty good at Infinite so I'll wait and see what happens.
>>741487775>that part where linda snipes brutes grappling with cheif while hanging upside down from a cliff with vines wrapped around he rlegs as she snipes one handed
>>741491097>"Wanna play halo?"That image takes me back.
>>741534463My big question is what happened between Halo Reach and Destiny? How did the company go to shit so quickly? Did everyone useful on the team decide they had enough and walked away?
>>741536874>It’s a good game>still desync in this year 2026I'm glad this shit game is deadWorst halo multiplayer even for 343 standards
>>741537580Being buggy doesn’t mean the game wasn’t good
>>741522268Activision Blizzard includes CoD and Candy Crush so yeah
>>741537532Honestly it's a really fucking long and weird story but Destiny's dev team was massive compared to Halo. A few factors are>Jason Jones came back from his mental breakdown that kept him from having really anything to do with any Halo game after CE and without any MS commitments did what he wanted to>some of the people involved in Halo stayed with Microsoft>some front line staff were promoted to management where they aren't directly making things or otherwise people moved to places they are arguably less useful or good for the company (eg. Pete Parsons' image 15 years ago was the cool guy producer at Microsoft that sided with the devs but it turns out he just made more money from being in charge of an independent Bungie) >some people indeed did fuck off either after Halo or after the conflict created by having Jason Jones actually around when they had basically been doing his job for years, like when they called Staten's Destiny plot shit and rewrote the whole thing last minute
>>741537726Being buggy means the game plays like fucking shit meaning the game was fucking bad, you 343 cock sucker
>>741538597>nonsensical irrelevant postingyes i understand completely
Some video I watched said Sony locked in prices for console components of PS5 while every Xbox sold loses money for Microosft because of AI datacenters increasing RAM prices. Halo selling more on PS5 is good for Microsoft. lmao.
>>741486423I welcome it for the simple fact I just wasn't more people to play MCC with. Caring about platform exclusivity is shit only 12 year olds and manchildren think about.
>>741539335It's not a port of the MCC though. It's just a shitty UE5 remake of the Halo 1 campaign with no multiplayer
>>741538789It's okay you don't have to pretend to be smart, everyone knows that 343 shit eaters have double-digit IQ
>>741531916>>741533439Not to mention GT7's ps4 version sold 2 million copies in the ps4's twilight years
>>741534350Lol. I wish
Eh it’s really not a huge deal and I own a PS5 with no Series X. It’s just the first game which Microsoft has put on PC before, they’re doing it to get PlayStation players to come over to Xbox to play the rest of the series
>>741541332>he actually does it for freeYikes
>>741541571Do what for free? Read the books? I love them. But no, I actually pay money to read and collect them. They ain't free.
>>741486632Not anymore since the Activision buyout. The entire reason for Xbox imploding is because MS had enough of losing money. They spent 100+ billion on the buyout alone.
At least I read books. You're still playing videogames like a mouth drooler. Waiting for that dopamine rush that will never come.
>>741541665>he actually pays for 343I dogshit lorelmao
>>741526717This was the cope when Xbox/Sony went PC but it only lead to less revenue/sales for them. That is why Sony is backpedaling and MS less to a degree. When you have a hardware platform the situation is not the same when you are just a publisher. The 30% cut you get from people who spend ALL their disposable money in your excosystem is way more valuable than selling a few million copies here and there. People love to bring up Capcom as an example but they got where they did because they churn out extremely similar small scale games and their old games get dirt cheap extremely quick. It works well now but will it work well after Resident Evil 17?
>>741541959Those books have made me good company. I also read the first trilogy and Harvest.
>hating booksYikes
>>741542058I don't know why pc fags bring up capcom anyway? it's not like they have to make hardware, they spend way less

>>741542143>Those books have made me good companyThat's sad
>>741542923They're great books. You should read them some day..You should read anything. Reading is better than not reading.
>>741543259Better not reading than reading dogshit books
Maybe becsuse the gsme came out in 2001 and already has a shotty remake. Its been 25 years anon. 25.
>>741486423It doesn't matter anymore, 343 Industries killed this franchise 14 years ago with Halo 4, only 343 fags want this remake to be a success so they can say "H-Halo is back" in the hopes that their shitty company can at least replicate Bungie's success once.
>>741486423I don't care. I play Halo on PC with MCC. Before that I played CE on PC.
>>741486423Maybe it would have been a big deal if Halo wasn't the single most RAPED vidya series in history. It's been almost 20 years since the last good one. 16 years since the last kinda acceptable one. 343 has fucked this series so hard that I would honestly be offended if I was a Snoy executive and they offered to put it on my system.
>>741487775Fuck that, giving John more emotions, and humanising him to be a person rather than just a vessel/extension of the player is what ruined Halo to begin with starting with Halo 4. Halo is at its best when the story is happening around you, and when chief did speak, it usually meant a lot more because he's usually quiet, like during the halo 2 gravemind. Halo 4 focused on all the wrong things, they tried to make chief something more than just a character you play as, not understanding why people actually liked the chief or the story. when you played as noble 6, shit was still happening, even directly to you, but you got to experience it, during gameplay, or during first person cut-scene's instead of a five minute-seven minute yapfest.

It's been nearly two decades since Halo was relevant.That is why.Microsoft is fucking retarded and gutted the team that made the 360 succesful once they got rid of the old blades and made Kinect. It was over long ago.
>>741534174Is that supposed to be an improvement? Spider-Man and Wolverine are Sweet Baby Inc products you fucking retard. They are garbage.
>>741550231Keep seething xbot, Gt7 clears forza horizon 6 any day of the week
>>741537367why can't they just make cool scenes like this in the games' cutscenes? why are they stuck in books no one will read? how are they so inept.
>Halo novels
>>741550231Needed change. Blue Dragon is shit
>>741539576PS5 remake of Halo actually does have multiplayer, including local splitspreen couch-coop.The catch it requires every player to use a PSN account which must be connected to a Microsoft account.Yes- EVEN for the local coop.In other words: Microsoft is doing the thing Sony tried to do on PC by requiring PC gamers to use a PSN account and suck them into the PS ecosystem as a gateway drug. Turnabout is fair play, as they say.
>>741536874I actually enjoyed Infinites gameplay but I stopped playing because the playerbase is so damn small that I just kept running into the same bunch of no life sweaty ass niggers with 5k hours and it just completely sucked away any fun I was having.
>>741536874No it isn't. Infinite at its core has problems. On top of that it's not designed with classic Halo's ideology in mind. The Assault Rifle being objectively the best weapon was also a mistake.
>>741549908I understand that angle but I think you're wrong, he does have emotions. He cares for his team mates a lot in the novels. They even have gestures to comunicate happiness.
>>741551438Ok, calm down falseflagger.
>>741553515Novels make for good reading, but not for good gaming, if you read novels you want character depth, emotion, and so on, because those are the main meats of the format, if you're putting five minute long cut scene in a shooter with exposition and character feeling moments, instead of making them direct gameplay, you're on the wrong path, in the wrong genre of games. Reach had story telling, and it worked, odst did too, halo 4 took it too far, and into a angle no one could care for, halo 5 went even further, because of esoteric reasons beyond me, and after that, I have honestly quit caring.
>>741486423it isn't a big deal because the team they put on to making halo games didn't bother making a decent halo game in like two decadesthey drove the IP into the ground and it isn't worth shit anymore. It isn't a flagship anymore if you crash it into the iceberg and let it sink with everything of value still on board
>>741555638There's room for both. MS or rather, Xbox, just needs to figure out a way to make more out of Halo and incorporate these characters as they are in the books in the games. Might not be in a mainline game, it could be in a different genre of game.
Halo is a great franchise, as long you close your eyes, ears, nose (it stinks!!!), lock yourself in a max security cell in the bottom of the ocean, and don't have any contact with it.
>>741553372The assault rifle isn’t objectively the best weapon. Almost every other gun mogs it if you know how to use them and your aim isn’t garbage. The game not being a BR/DMR fest is a breathe of fresh air. That shit was cancer in old halo games both in multiplayer and campaign.
>>741532280>it's a relevant game played by more than fat, 30+ year old American southernerslmao why is this every Halo fan ever. I've noticed that demographic is so obsessed with it
How to save HaloHear me outHalo... TCG
>>741489258Dude, it's a giant ring. You can see it.
>>741557931I was a dumb little sack of shit.
>>741557395Kill consistency is the most important, and with the AR in Infinite you objectively get the most consistent kills with the least amount of effort.
>>741557930how about Halo pachink slots?
>>741505478based
Sangheili game developed by Platinum Games with Tul Juran as main character....There, I just revealed the secret formula to make Halo great again.
>>741505478>Fall of Reach book > Halo: Reach the game
>>741486423they should just make Halo Reach 2 where Noble 6 wakes up in a cave and time travels to before 343 made halo shitty and a whole new different story happens
I mean, the game barelly had any plot. But fun FACT, even many years after Reach was glassed, they are still collecting radio signals of the last recordings left by the victims.
>>741560048yeah it's noble 6 in a cave
>>741560117>117 getThe truth is finally out.
How game only "fans" look at Halo.
>>741488791Nintendo isn't the sole owner of Pokémon pleb.
>>741491097>they're going to fuck it upKek they just announced yesterday that split screen coop will require two PlayStation Plus accounts
If I ever disappear I want to say I would never kms, I am simply MIA.
>>741560618Everyone knows that but it's the biggest franchise in the world
>>741560928Pokémon is weird. In some venues it gets outperformed by other franchises, like Genshin and Naruto.It's split in so many ways. Nintendo gets the biggest slice of the pie, but they're unable to do shit with it because games nowadays take an eternity to come out. And when they do, they're horrible.
>>741553515Who in the fuck cares about the novels?
>>741561863>>741560497
>>741561863Actually, no. I made it for you.
>>741560796That's so retarded even by 343 standards that I have trouble believing it's true.
>>741562209It pisses me off imensely that Epitaph, the greatest fucking book ever writen in the history of this franchise, is missing from this image.
Remember that the biggest bookfags in the history of the franchise are 343 Studios themselves and look how that turned out.
I FUCKING LOVE READING- Said no Halo fan ever
>>741511441GoW was never as as lore-centric as Halo. I'm pretty sure there's a canon, but it's not that important in the grand scheme of things barring the actual war against the Locusts and humanity's fight for survival. It's more about the brotherly interactions between Marcus and his buddies in the heat of war, which is why the ones where Marcus isn't the main protagonist are kinda ass.
>>741562209>>741562330alright. Here's the updated version.
>>741501380What are the flood looking for? Path Kethona? lol
>>741562771Shit, that's the galaxy where they originated. I meant to say Bastion. The planet with the two living percursors.
Game onlies will never cry the way I did when I got to page 296 of Halo: Renegades.Sorry
>>741487775I had retcon fatigue.
>>741486423>split-screen co-op requires two separate PS+ subscriptions
