I don't like what Blur Studios did to the cutscenes (and audio) of Halo 2's cinematics, but they created the perfect Tana. Her only issue is that she's not naked, but she's otherwise perfect. This is what I imagine she'd look like irl.

It's sort of a "what is there is cool but there's not enough." A lot of H4 sets need more total armor coverage and less glaring gaps in the silhouette. Warrior was much better about all that which is almost certainly why 343 used it for most S-IVs in pre-release media.

The "Xxx_3vil_spartanZ_xxX" (Janissaries) are probably the only thing that could potentially make the new game interesting. Alongside human enemies working alongside the Banished since the last book (yeah yeah i know) hinted that we will get non-human allies too supporting the usual UNSC roster.

With FM dead who cares. Horizon's audience are actually 12 or mentally 12 year olds that go "DUDE A BUGATTI WOW!!!!!". I've recently seen a bunch of people claim that it's good Tokyo has barely any traffic because they don't want to drive around other cars and just want to go fast.

Well if I had to answer the question, my guess would be that it might turn out to be about a 6/10 or a 7/10. But who knows. I guess we can't say until we've seen the final product. It could turn out to be good fun, or it could turn out to be buggy and shit.

What I got was Infinite 2.0.

I wouldn't oppose it as a mode on the side going forward. Part of Halo's charm is the offering of wild variety modes that ignore certain fundamentals.
>>563284023
I have never used that term as I did not play Doom or Quake multiplayer. There will always be vocal minorities to any "side" who can skew your perception of a topic.

The blue one is just about perfect with respect to style differences. I like it most when the Elite undersuit has the illusion of just being their skin. It's the impression I got from the first 3 games most of the time, though, if you really paid attention to certain parts you could see a noticeable cut that made it clear it was an undersuit. A lot of modern takes on Elites also make them seem a bit too skinny like they're not filling out the armor so well.

A little less detail on the undersuit would be an improvement. Give more focus on the armor itself rather than those zesty love handles. The originals had a noise vs reflection contrast. Noisy flesh under deeply shiny almost crystalline armor.

>Ah yes, arena shooters are all exactly the same.
Let's see:
>An arena shooter is a subgenre of shooter games
>These games emphasize fast-paced movement in enclosed map designs that foster engagement between players.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arena_shooter
>the subgenre would finally explode (and the e-Sports scene blossom as a consequence) with the advent of two games released with two days of difference that would create the (then) biggest videogame feud for quite some time: Epic Games's Unreal Tournament and id Software's Quake III Arena, released in 1999
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArenaShooter
>An arena shooter is a first or third-person game where most combat encounters occur in a small-medium-sized map or arena. Arena shooters tend to rely on fast-paced movement, weapon pickups, intense battles with vertical movement, and high skill ceilings.
https://plarium.com/en/glossary/arena-shooter/
Notice that all three of those links mention Doom, Quake, and Unreal Tournament, but none of the links mention Halo. Because Halo wasn't considered an arena shooter. Yet I have seen so-called "fans" of so-called "classic Halo" on 4chan claim that Halo was always an arena shooter.
>>563284845
>There will always be vocal minorities to any "side" who can skew your perception of a topic.

>some people say
doesn't matter. words have meaning. arena shooter is what halo is. even if retards say it isn't. it's not a quake clone. but still remains an arena shooter. your logic being applied universally would say that a game isn't a multiplayer game if it's online because the original multiplayer games were all local. i know you're not that retarded, you're just making a bizarre exception from years of reddit and public school programming a layer of cognitive dissonance into you.

I guess COD has to be an arena shooter then because its multiplayer maps are enclosed spaces and thus arenas (multiplayer maps were enclosed when I last played COD games around the year 2010). This is a consequence of your logic.

I don't understand the insistence with trying to Halo 3-ify Cortana. Don't get me wrong, Halo 3 Cortana looks great, but CE and 2 both have unique designs.
The redesign looked awful in Halo CEA (like everything else), and Halo 2 had a really good standout design that I wish they would've stayed with.

CEA and Reach recycle 3tana's model and don't count.
>>

Doubt there's going to be any changes but I kinda hoped they would let the Flood use vehicles across the entirety of the trilogy remakes. In CE they couldn't use them, Halo 2 had them capable of driving only land vehicles they spawned on and they could only board to melee in Halo 3.

there is a magic feeling to halo: combat evolved. when you exit the lofepod and look up at the ring, you feel a since of wonder and mystery. You truly are somewhere alien. Halo: combat Evolved truly puts you in the shoes of master chief on an alien ring called halo. Whether it's storming beach or Infiltrating a swamp, you truly are in for an amazing experience. The magic feeling of halo: combat evolved is one of pure wonder and mystery. Who are the forerunners? And why did they build the ring? These are questions you ask yourself as you journey across the ring. This grand feeling of adventure keeps you on your toes and you never know what is around the corner. It is truly a magic experience to play Halo for the first time, exiting the lifepod, and looking up at the ring. You just know you will be a n for an epic adventure. This magical feeling truly captures the spirit of halo: combat evolved

Can someone name one game series that is one connected and continuous story between sequels that has lasted since at least 2001 and is still going? I'm not talking about shit like Zelda or Final Fantasy or whatever where the series is very loosely connected. I mean stuff like Metal Gear Solid, which had its last mainline game in 2015. You just can't keep the story going in those types of series without it falling off. Halo's story was cooked after Halo 3, there was no where to go and the covenant and to be shoehorned back. Halo needs to go to episodic stories in the universe, instead of milking master chief to death

Massive stretch
2 has basically nothing to do with 1 from a story perspective outside of the outbreak. 4 is 90% disconnected. 5 and 6 are memes. 7 is basically a reboot with a totally different cast. Haven't played 8 or 9 though.
But basically it's not even trying to tell one cohesive story, which is why it doesn't become worn out. It's closer than something like Zelda, but not on the level of the mainline halo games

God that is so close to just describing Halo too lmao. Replace "outbreak" with "ring being destroyed" and it's near 1:1.

Why is Bungie Halo story so shallow compared to what they did with Marathon?
Did Infinity turn them off doing anything complicated or was it because the games were always thrown together in the last minute so story and lore was the least of their concerns?
>>
>>
>>
>>563390008
The first 3 games have a pretty well told story that kind of falls off in H3, and they require zero books to be enjoyable. The story works for what they were going for. My whole point is that Microsoft keep beating a dead horse with master chief, when they should come up with interesting one offs like ODST
>>
>>
>>
I still maintain that a bunch of Halo 2 was a narrative mistake. Making the Covenant "they're just like us!" was lame and holy shit the Gravemind lmao.
Making the Flood being lead by a giant plant snake that physically talks to you is really silly.

Nah. Maybe you've actually thought about what could come next over a long period of time. I mean really sat down and focused. But we're not all-seeing. Sometimes others see a way forward where we don't and vice-versa. Both Marcus and Marty are on-record for stating there were plans for plot after the Ark. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfJCQbJA3v0&t=1180s)
Being developers who were paid to think about these things and cultivated development skills we didn't, it makes sense they'd have plans considering the events at the Ark were meant to be tackled in H2, which would leave 3 more games to fulfill their agreement with Microsoft. Marcus has stated that these post-Ark ideas would require a trilogy, which is part of why they did some spin-offs instead when the events at the Ark weren't wrapped up in H2.
When you think about how people didn't think Xbox, Halo or even supporting PC-like multiplayer features would be solid decisions, not even people at Microsoft who were paid to think about these things extensively, it's not a surprise that some would see a way forward where others would not. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtG6--4r_qk&t=1356s)
Would these games necessarily be as good as the original trilogy collectively? Perhaps not but episodic spin-off stuff with other characters wouldn't necessarily be either. Doesn't have to be to be an enjoyable, worthy entry. And as we see with stuff like Zelda, FF and even RE, even when you jump around to different takes or main characters, it's not always a major success. Yet, a letdown of a release didn't always kill the series and prevent a future title from doing much better.
>>
>>563386689
at a point a series may not have future tales left to tell but there are decades of fans coming up with more exciting concepts than any 343 game and 343 was also cooked from the start when all that "too traditional" nonsense got told to them by higher-ups and the focus was too much on chasing trends
you can even see the difference in ideas and execution in Resident Evil too: on paper a new viral outbreak is a fun idea but some games just did not turn out as well as others because the vision and leadership is not always equal
playing as Chief and working with the UNSC to prevent aliens from using ancient alien tech in a disastrous way while enjoying sci-fi locale is a good concept but where Bungie would focus on awesome and cool 343 ended up trying to paint things in an emotional and gloomy and defeatist way so there again you can see how the same idea can be executed in a fun way or a lame way

There was something charming about these videos once. It is kind of an interesting subject. The problem is that there’s nothing really new to say about the making of Halo in video essay format. And you can easily just watch the behind the scenes footage from Halo under Bungie yourself. If you’ve seen one lazily slapped together video like this you’ve seen any other. But I guess it’s a really easy training wheels introduction to becoming a video essayist on YouTube

RE has only one good game in the entire franchise. This is not commonly understood to outsiders because Capcucks will glaze anything that Capcom makes, no matter how objectively dogshit. See the last three Street Fighter games, Dragon's Dogma 2, Monster Hunter Rise, et cetera, as objective proof of this fact.

Spartan Assault is fine. In fact it was a lifesaver while waiting for MCC to come to pc. It's Halo without a jump button (and there's no sprint either). Haven't played Strike yet but I'll be installing it on my laptop soonish.

These are unironically fun to watch. I don't watch everything, maybe just the first 30 min, but still good. It's like pizza (or Halo). It never gets old no matter how much you have of it.
What's even better? First-time Halo players/fans running through the games for the first time, or listening to the music and reacting to the cutscenes/trailers. Now that's kino. I'm also a sucker for Halo mod trailers/showcases.

Eve's face is a little uncanny to me. Prefer that tutorial girl that got offed at the start (think she turns out to be a villain later or something, haven't played it). Also, the girls in First Descendant are hotter imo. Especially when they do that silly dance, it's cute.

Im doing SLASO and just finished ODST, about halfway i to Reach.
Its hard, but not as nutsmashing difficult as people make it out to be. I did ODST in like 8 hours when I thought it might take 40.
Granted, I use a guide to avoid fights and whatnot, and granted I am starting from the supposedly easiest ones (people seem to say ODST < Reach < 3 < 1 < 2) but maybe Ill be able to do it afterall
