Let's talk about the golden age of Gaylo and the fall of this franchise by 343/Gaylo Studios. Tangents about Bungie and their flops are also welcomed.
>>1879164 Well whatever that case, I hope that at least this time they don't manage to make Captain Keyes look 20 years younger than his own daughter.
>>1878861 >1:1 If only >Hitmarkers >New cutscenes look like ass >Art design is shit >Sprinting >Cobbled assets from Gaylo Infinite It looks terrible
>>1879275 Reminds me of halo wars where they fucked up Captain Cutter's design for the second game. Also I forgot what they did to Miranda. Shameful shit.
>>1878744 >sprint on halo 1 Lel

>>1878744 my rage was already fathomless when I saw they'd made the touchdown a cutscene, but when I realized >and weapons that were not present in CE like the BR, NR I almost became so angry that I'd die. It's not even CE, it's just a level pack that wasn't designed for the AI and weapon sandbox they're using. Why would you do this? Like everything about CE is a mistake that needed fixing. The AI is clearly completely different even from those clips from how enemies are supposed to act in those environments.
>>1878744 I remember years ago reading an article that claimed that Halo title was coming to the PS4, but that was baseless rumors and everyone treated it as a joke. Now that this fucking game is coming to the PS5, its like that joke just came back to fuck with me.
>>1879346 CE is the only decent Halo game, so of course it needs to get raped like this.
>>1878744 >>1879346 I particularly like 1. how dramatically poorly the player is actually playing GOTTA GET THEM SMOOTH E3 CAMERA MOVEMENTS! 2. how dramatically bad the AI is behaving in the face of this poor play

>>1878744 What a time to be alive anons.
>>1870423 None of you children understand that it's supposed to be the assault rifle from Alien.
>>1870423 the sniper is pretty much a 1:1 of a real life anti material rifle so you're retarded
>>1878744 the gameplay uploaded was absolutely packed with UE5 stuffed, pop in and a myriad of artifacts. also they've fucked with the iconic sound effects yet again and the shit sounds like halo 5, just like 2 anniversary sounds like 4
Playstation won the conzole war jajajaja
>>1870423 >>1870450 I think this anon is correct. It also looks really cool which I think is the primary intention. It looks properly futuristic or sci-fi which is what they clearly want to go for. >>1879796 This is also true. I remember seeing something about how the Alien franchise has been heavily influential on shooters. Too bad Halo's AR doesn't have the same huge magazine size that the rifle in the Alien franchise has. Would actually make the AR worth carrying over a BR or whatever other precision weapon.
>>1878744 I didn't think it was possible for Xbox to be more retarded than they already were, but they did it, they whored out their flagship Xbox franchise.
>>1878744 Hey, listen, at least there will be new HD Sangheili models. Imagine To be honest they kept the art style of Halo 1 rather well, and they're claiming they've "expanded" the game. I wonder how? The big complaint is that it's on UE5 so it'll be a technical mess. >PlayStation logo at the end devastating
>>1879297 >>Hitmarkers >>Sprinting Anybody who buys this needs to be burned along with every physical copy of this failed abortion of a game.
>>1880406 The sprinting vs no sprinting thing is a hot debate among gamedevs. There was some internal fighting over that on the Oblivion remake and ultimately sprintfags won. While most problems in the industry fall squarely on the shoulders of higher ups, gamedevs themselves can have baffling opinions, especially in AAA. I like to watch GDC talks a lot, you learn a lot about what devs think and all the memes they fall for. I find UE5 devs can be bad for graphics tech memes.
>>1880406 Why is the act of sprinting controversial for a remake of a game about a supersoldier who is said to run at minimum speeds of 40mph
>>1880266 I can unequivocally tell you're a reddit troon from the syntax.
>>1880470 >troon Glass houses, 4cuck.
>>1880472 Hit dogs holler. Nothing you say to me will unmolest you, pal. Sorry.
>>1878744 This looks like a graphics mod/demo.
>>1880464 He is a supersoldier. He was already running all the time while aiming in the original game. Why does every fucking game have to be exactly the same?
>>1880464 Isn't cooler that he could run and shoot at the same time?
>>1878744 Gaming really is just remakes all the way down now, isn't it?
>>1880483 >Why does every fucking game have to be exactly the same? Gotta standardize everything. The wider audience expects a sprint in a fps so you get sprint shoved into everything.
>>1870450 >>1880165 Of course it looks distinctive and in a strict game sense it works, but realism combined with nonsense guns activates something in my brain. >>1870838 I'm talking about the rifle above, I know the MA5C has a flashlight. >>1874419 >>1874459 That's a lore tidbit I was unaware of, I'm still unsure why it has a massive bulky bastard blocking the sight picture to tell you magnetic north and how much ammo you have, but no trigger guard. I thought it was an onboard computer or housing for the gas tube, but variants show there isn't much of anything up there. Even considering some HUD link to the weapon, the gun reported has a range of 300 meters, what if you couldn't see the enemy? Other guns in the universe have sights and optics. If I were to redesign it to be less rule of cool but still familiar, I'd come up with this. >>1880470 I remember when this dumb shit overtook imageboards for a year or two and retards shouted reddit at any post with formatting.

>>1880534 BE NICE TO HIM It turned out looking more like a real bullpup, which is to say strange and ungodly.
>>1880547 Looks like my dick lol.
>>1878744 At this point I hope Xbox becomes a separate private company from Microsoft. Especially as Nutella keeps fucking up.
>>1880560 Nutella?
>>1880547 STG-77 is so disappointing compared to its father.
<<1880470 Now there's a meme I haven't seen in years. That's not the dreaded "reddit spacing", reddit's syntax only allows double spacing (paragraph spaces) rather than single spacing (new lines), so its users get in the habit of only double spacing. I did multiple new lines there, with one sentence doubled spaced. Don't be a parrot, regurgitating memes you don't actually understand. Judging by that and "troon", something I rarely ever heard people say here before the refugee crisis, you're probably a newfag to 8moe accusing other people of being newfags. >>1880497 This is partially happening because a lot of new games are failing, but remakes are generally doing well. A good example is Star Wars Outlaws. Gamers ignored it to the point of not even being a culture war talking point, its failure was a real shock in the industry and nobody was expecting that to be as much of a flop as it was. But you know what did well? The Oblivion remake, on PC alone it sold several million copies despite being on Xbawcks Gay Pass. So the remakes flow.
>>1880464 Two school of thought when it comes to making FPS is the arcade shooter school of thought and the realistic military shooter school of thought. The former, doesn't really care about realism, you run and shoot with no problem, maybe there is no reloading, so you just continuously shoot, carry 10 weapons, and you can jump all over the place. The emphasis is on speed and power, you run fast and shoot your rocket launcher. Examples of these would be DOOM, Duke Nukem, Quake, Team Fortress 2. The later school, still allows you to walk and shoot but you have low accuracy, so you can use iron-sights to have high accuracy, but almost zero movement. To still keep things fast, you get a sprint ability, but when you use it you can't shoot. So you have 3 states: run fast but can't shoot, run and sorta shoot, and stand still and shoot. Other differences is limited jumping, limited weapon capacity. They are much slower, and when done well they are more tactical. Examples of these would be Call of Duty and it's clones, Battlefield and maybe Medal of Honor, as I haven't played one of those games in a long time. Now, it's not a complete binary, and some games exist on a spectrum of these 2 schools, and there are probably more, or at least you can divide them into subcategories(DOOM clones, Build Engine games, Quake clones, Serious Sam). As for Halo, it was more into the arcade shooter school of thought, you ran fast and shoot, you don't loose accuracy from running, and you are already fast so you don't need sprinting. Now sure, it had limited weapon capacity and so on, again not a binary, yet it was still closer to Quake than to Medal of Honor. As for why it's controversial, in my opinion, it's because it deviated too much from the former school, and into the later, thus betraying it's small but loyal fanbase of 30+ year old dads. >>1880531 >I'm still unsure why it has a massive bulky bastard blocking the sight picture It could be possible that they made it so big and bulky to block as much of the screen as possible, to render less, so that the Xbox could have 60FPS. You would probably need some dev interview to confirm this, and one counter-argument would be the existence of small arms, like the pistol. If the game could be rendered fine with just the pistol, then you don't need something bigger just for performance sake.
