Yeah, this sounds nice and all, hell it's better than things staying as they were, but who's to say that things won't be as bad or even worse than it was with 343. I don't want to be that guy, but nothing shown or said has convinced me that Halo's future is in good hands.
They fired Bonnie Ross and Kiki Wolfkil who were the ones responsible for the big decision at 343. They tried to change the Halo formula and got bitch slapped back to reality and tried to reboot halo and failed again with infinite. Also, they were in charge of the TV show and that was shit and also cancelled. Getting rid of these idiots was a major major first step. Switching to Unreal 5 is also a huge positive decision. So they have everything to be successful and Microsoft has seen how not profitable Halo has been in the last couple of years. They have the ingredients to make something great and they have the recent of what a fail 343 was as well. I think they'll do well. I feel optimistic about halo but cautiously optimistic.
Same. I’ve been in mourning during Dragon Age’s last procession and been super doubtful of the entertainment industry, but seeing Halo change engine and heading… folks need heroes, to give em hope
With wages falling and people being replaced with UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE desperate for money in the us,China India whatever I bet you we will now get a quality full HALO game💯
@@SeFu2006 I doubt it. Give them time and I'm sure they'll do something. A one armed spartan with no replacement arm. A Sangheili in a wheelchair with actual wheels. A brute that identifies as a human. Or maybe they'll try and flip the story around and make humans the real villains all along and treat the flood as an innocent victim of humans cruelty. Anything is possible.
@@ghostlegacy5701 Maybe brutes, idk about grunts or other species though. This sounds interesting in concept but in practice what are the limits on which creature/species can use what weapon or vehicle? Hitboxes for models would become a massive issue and people would just revert to using whatever model had the smallest hitbox. I remember in Halo 3 there was that one elite armor set that people used in swat because it at least felt like it was harder to hit their heads (don't know if actually true). Brutes on the other hand could work as a playable species since they are more or less "human-like" in their body shape. Similar enough height, two arms two legs, etc. It's why Elites were such an easy thing to add.
You know, respect has to be earned. Just because somebody doesn't respect you right away doesn't mean they disrespect you, this studio has to earn our respect and honor what we want. We're the paying customer and they're selling a product, if they don't make a product for us then they don't earn our respect and they don't deserve it. If they earn our respect we will shower them with praise, spend our money on it, and promote it to everyone we meet. Keep "the message" out of it, respect Halo's legacy and launch it into a new era and you will not regret it
I do think they should do a soft reboot starting from h4 onwards, cuz if they are gonna make new games they gotta make sure the retcon spaghetti filled 343i lore foundation doesn't limit what they do(if they actually do good games). Just my opinion tho, never been much of a fan of 343i lore.
One of the most important things is for this “new” studio to be filled with employees who actually like the game whether they’re newcomers or OGs from the very beginning. They also need to drop the broader audience appeal altogether.
Tech Demo is similar to Concept cars. Some or most features end up in the final production models (Games) released to the market it services.

I agree we don't need third person in the next mainline game, it would be cool but if that's too much to ask for it's fine but Halo's designs are way cooler than gears of war and I'd like to be able to better appreciate the chief in all his detailed glory. Maybe if they want to make games faster by switching to ue5 they could do a tactics like game similar to X-COM. The chief is such a sick character design it's a shame we only ever see him in cutscenes and vehicles.
You are right about Halo improvements needing to go beyond graphics: fortunately, it looks like UE5 enables better streamline in all parts of game development. Intrepid studios, working on an upcoming MMORPG “Ashes of Creation” has sung the praises of how much their conversion to UE5 helped improve their game dev process.
The only issue with unreal is you have to work with the engine developers. A single update to unreal can break the whole game suring production and requires (at times) massive reworking. Many devs, when UE5 was pushed in the industry, was spoken about this. And it does happen. UE makes many things easier, but has a wildcard aspect to it.

The problem with adopting a new engine for a old franchise is trying to replicate weird quirks of the old engine. There is alot you can lose by doing this.
When you say there is no game that feels like halo. Yeah that's because of the engine. Now you have to take a new engine that yes can make very different types of games and different feels. But try to replicate things that kinda happened by accident and could even be considered bugs in the past. Trying to replicate "mistakes" as they would be called today is not going to be easy.
Not necessarily true. Havok integrates well with UE, so the physics are the same, as for the other things like gravity, movement speed, those aren't even consistent across the halo games, but, easily replicatable regardless. Unless you mean glitches like super bounces which are largely gone from the game anyway.
@@Phyto-Dragon-nb6itThat’s something that really bothered me with Destiny 2. The first game felt very practical. You had functional looking guns, some of which had looks and styles lifted from real life weapons. many characters had grounded looking character designs, and the game was overall very life like in terms of art style in most areas. Then the second game just KILLED that
For real. It really makes you hate some of these lame, cheap tactics to get more views and insults the intelligence of the viewers. In reality it's like these RUclipsrs are either too lazy or too dim to come up with straightforward titles. Your channel and the topic is popular enough that people will watch the vid.
Considering that at least the old leadership that was there from 343i's inception up to Halo Infinite's release, there's maybe hope yet. We'll have to wait and see.
When you asked what they were making before, it seems that under the old leadership of 343, they were just trying to make popular games, which would lead to trend chasing. HALO 4 following some of Reach's aspects to being more like COD, 5 being branded as a more competitive shooter and Infinite being ftp live service. Now, with Halo Studios, it seems they are trying to say the focus is making a Halo game and not just whats popular in a Halo skin. Let the quality of the game make it popular
As someone who has loved Halo since 2001 I really hope this new change can correct the damage that 343 has done. The new engine is gorgeous, yes, but I want a new game that gave me the feeling I had playing the original. I want to fall in love with the world again.
The recipe is easy: Badass super soldiers with one clear (not “broken”) hero, an immersive and complex universe lore (that’s okay to leave some to interpretation), horror, nerdy/techie sci-fi, not glitchy and complete, great mystical futuristic space story, good mechanics, fun and simple multiplayer, and oh yeah, an M rating. Gamers understand that using these “ingredients” to make a great game isn’t easy, but the problem most of us had was that not only did 343 ditch 50% of those ingredients, they butchered the process too. And to me, it sounds like Halo Studios understands that now. This seems focused and the fact that they called back on the original halo more than the last 3 games tells me they are picking up where Bungie left off.
As someone who has been around since day one of CE, kindly remember; The most critical thing that needs to be captured in UR5 is the soft, rounded, bouncy physics that is thus far completely unique to the Blam! engine and its subsequent iterations. The feel of Blam!’s physics is hyper-specific and will by far be the hardest peak to summit for the engineering team. Notice that we didn’t get to see any character model movement. This is the part where we all hold our breath. Again.
i'm holding my breathe until the next project drops 343 basically dragged the halo franchise through the dirt for 10+ years they almost had something with infinite but they fucked it up by not having actual employees with 70% of the workers on the game being contractors so when time came for new content there's was nobody available to work on the game which is why lone wolves lasted like 9 fucking months and forge still took like a fucking year to be added to the game.
I am more excited then ever. Cautiously optimistic, I just hate all the negativity from a couple of commenters in many videos. They will always exist, but they are still very annoying.
I'm *very cautiously* optimistic with this. My and others fans' asses are still chapped from how much of a mishandled mess that Halo Infinite was. Restructured studio or not, they got to prove themselves to me and get their next couple of Halo games right on DAY ONE. No ands, ors, or buts.
Give us a battlefield/ horde style halo game. If you LOOSE too many sectors that turn into blight zones, you retreat to the Control Room and activate Halo for a tie
Yes! At last, some positive Halo news. It's about time...I loved what I played of Infinite, but I was absolutely gutted when development of the campaign ended so abruptly. So much unfulfilled potential. 😥 It's time Halo fans get the games they've been waiting for and deserve.
Okay hear me out please! 🙏🏽 Game Mode Concept: 50v50vAI (Inspired by Halo 5 Warzone and Battlefield Conquest) • Teams: Two teams of 50 players each, plus an AI faction. • Objective: Capture and hold points similar to Battlefield’s Conquest mode, while battling both enemy players and AI forces. • AI Factor: The AI faction plays an active role, attacking both player teams. Both teams must balance fighting each other and the AI to maintain control. • Group-up Mechanic: If both teams are struggling against the AI, there’s an option for both player teams to temporarily ally for a final offensive against the AI. If no alliance is formed, the AI can win the match. • Final Offensive: If one team is dominating, the losing team can choose to ally with the AI for a last stand. In this scenario, the AI stops regular spawns and sends out two powerful tank enemies to support the final push. This creates a dynamic game mode where players need to manage enemy teams and AI, with shifting alliances and tactical opportunities. This gives us the best of both worlds like firefight and conquest had a baby!
I read the article and ofc we’ll see but it seems like the dev team has the right focus and priorities. They mentioned focusing on what made halo a great game and listening to players in order to understand what the community wants and loved in older halo games. My hopium is most definitely rising and this reminds me of H3 ngl… the fact that they talk about studying and understanding the core fundamentals of original trilogy is a good sign but time will tell
What I want more than anything in the world is more story telling in the world of halo that we know and love. A perfect example would be ODSTs. While I get the lore from Halo 4 and Halo 5 have ultimately replaced them, I feel that this was a missed opportunity to add so much more depth and grounded lore that we see so much of in the books and the bungie games. I look forward to what this studio has in mind when developing Halo moving forward.
They should release these tech demos under the name Halo: Foundry. Think like the Matrix Awakens demo. It would be a cool treat for the fans while waiting for future updates.
Remember when they released Infinite Engine trailer and we were so hyped...then they made the story and gameplay what it is and we were flaccid the entire time....
I think they mention “projects” and not titles/games is that they plan to do things like a battle royale and different game modes to bring in the masses vs the classic campaign and multiplayer game releases. They admitted they were trying to complete a battle royale project but had to abandon it due to issues with slipspace engine
I hope they use Halo comics and Halo Reach art style for inspiration, particularly in terms of proportions. Narrow waist, wide shoulders, small head, large arms and long legs.
I’m somewhat exited about this new game because of how much the developers have suddenly changed and since that they are referencing the Bungie Halo Titles and *only* the Bungie Halo Titles. If this new experimental title confirms what the is going to be and it works *properly,* then this will put us as Halo Fans back on the old rails that we all haven’t seen in almost 12 years.
Unreal has some sort of new polygon system that allows you to create complex shapes while still using the same if not less computing power. But that’s about all I recall without looking it up.
Heres my issue. Graphics and gameplay was NEVER halo infinites problem if anything it was its biggest strength. They simply couldnt fulfil promises they made to players and couldnt get content ready fast enough, the average joe saw that and said okay peace ✌🏽 and the game died. They tried to bring it back time and time again but it only had small bumps of barely any popularity. Hopefully using this engine they can actually get content out the door fast. However i fear the damage has been done, i know for a fact i will not be buying the next halo game for the first couple weeks adleast.
If they don't have a Halo something in 2025 i'll be sad. Next December will be 4 years since Halo Infinite released. Surely they can do a remake in 4 years.
I want more of what they were doing with Halo infinite for Halo 7, I greatly enjoyed Infinite. But on unreal 5, hell yeah. As an OG CE fan a remake of that in between I'll definitely be hyped for
One thing I am happy about is that they have something they can drawn inspiration from, like I feel as if almost every halo game didn’t have s perfect idea on how this game should look and be able to actually put it in correctly, halo 2-3 was about the only ones where it fell perfect
So this is a rebrand.. same studio mostly? the purple hair black chick at 3:11 is the staff manager, no? I dont want woke Halo man.... And her banner on socials is very telling. I just want the game i grew up with to be what it was. Not some new age shit.
I think to bring halo back to the forefront they would need to make the best halo game ever , the best forge , the best sandbox, (make every previous halo weapon and vehicle in UE5) and let the fans create their own experiences on top of what the devs create
As an exclusively Halo gamer, I wouldn’t say I’m hungry for more… I simply want the same amount of content as Halo 3 had. Co-op campaign on launch. 3 DLC multiplayer map packs over 3 years sounds fair and achievable. Unlockable armor/aesthetics from achievements sounds fair and programmable. Loads of weapons and vehicles seems doable since Halo 5 showcased this (can keep the fun/unbalanced stuff out of ranked). And for the love of community, pre and post game lobby chat!
It’s about time. We’ve been forced to watch 343 demolish everything we love about Halo for far too long. The tech demo looks great in UE5 and it appears the new commanders have good intentions. Several games in development also sounds good. I like the direction they appear to be in. We’ll see if they can walk like they talk.
I think what theyre trying to say is a tech demo is more conceptual, possibilities and more of a pitch to sell to the players. However foundry is about them creating real assets that they could just plop a player into and play it like a normal halo game on the xbox. Im pretty sure tech demos dont account for the technical limitations of a console
Apart from obvious concerns about gameplay and content, I afraid that optimization might become shittier. In this trailer they use Nanite + Lumen everywhere, and it's fine for pre-render which it is. But in real-time it can cripple performance.
I am skeptical .. I will wait and see once it comes out .. don't wanna get my hopes up. Right now Halo Infinite gameplay is good .. not alot of content it is what it is. Although am skeptical on multiple halo projects as I want to know how much effort or how many missions are in it and if the story is halo in the universe as well as if the effort in it is good as I don't wanna hear they are done or game is perfect as we the fans will see and decide if its great or perfect .. I am still waitin on the book Halo Shadow of Reach to come to halo game like a flashback as it wasn't in halo infinite.
When you look at the chief of staff over at 343/Halo studios... Yeah, press x to doubt on things improving. It's gonna be the same thing again. Keep your hopes veeery low people.
Changing the Halo story is extremely risky, Halo 5 had decent combat but tried to revolutionize the story, they need to follow the old story that everyone loves
The amount of Ai/Characters on the Screen 343 was able to achieve was an artifact in slipspace from bungie’s blam! Engine, no matter the tech you’re running with ai, animations, etc break after a fairly low cap by todays standard. 40 or so character’s max CE - 4, see infinites forge cap is similar.
I don't want to get my hopes up but this is very exciting. I haven't been the biggest halo fan since Reach but I am really excited for this. I don't think they can make it feel like the old games though. If what they make is great then I'm excited for that but I feel that if we were to expect the new game to feel like the old games we would most likely be disappointed.
Maybe something as a UNSC marine or UNSC Army soldier and set in the early stages of the Human Covenant war. Or a flood horror game where you play as a marine or ODST.
As an older gamer who started with Pong, I'm going to hold my excitement until this announcement comes full circle. I've been hoodwinked way too many times with Halo.
i think in terms of them saying it's not a tech demo, it is not one for them. It is for us, but its a project for them. Like they said, a research project.
Unreal should help them out a lot. I know i want a halo game with every vehicle and weapon from all the old halo games. And i want some closer from the story from the last few games. I know they arent the best but i really want closure
Only thing that matters is gameplay right now. And server stability. Deliver that with these amazing graphics and Halo will either dominate completely or stay top 10 indefinitly with good support.

Now, with Halo Studios, it seems they are trying to say the focus is making a Halo game and not just whats popular in a Halo skin. Let the quality of the game make it popular
So nothing changed it's still 343 lol we are still doomed
I think it would be cool if they made games out of some of the good Halo novels and graphic novels.
As someone who has loved Halo since 2001 I really hope this new change can correct the damage that 343 has done. The new engine is gorgeous, yes, but I want a new game that gave me the feeling I had playing the original. I want to fall in love with the world again.
I just want PLAYABLE ELITES!!!
I want playable brutes
@ both but if there was one it would HAVE to be elites
The recipe is easy: Badass super soldiers with one clear (not “broken”) hero, an immersive and complex universe lore (that’s okay to leave some to interpretation), horror, nerdy/techie sci-fi, not glitchy and complete, great mystical futuristic space story, good mechanics, fun and simple multiplayer, and oh yeah, an M rating. Gamers understand that using these “ingredients” to make a great game isn’t easy, but the problem most of us had was that not only did 343 ditch 50% of those ingredients, they butchered the process too. And to me, it sounds like Halo Studios understands that now. This seems focused and the fact that they called back on the original halo more than the last 3 games tells me they are picking up where Bungie left off.
Seeing Flood stuff already is a positive shock :)
Imagine project foundry sets up a animated halo series/movie like halo legends that kicks off a new set of games
As someone who has been around since day one of CE, kindly remember; The most critical thing that needs to be captured in UR5 is the soft, rounded, bouncy physics that is thus far completely unique to the Blam! engine and its subsequent iterations. The feel of Blam!’s physics is hyper-specific and will by far be the hardest peak to summit for the engineering team. Notice that we didn’t get to see any character model movement. This is the part where we all hold our breath. Again.
i'm holding my breathe until the next project drops 343 basically dragged the halo franchise through the dirt for 10+ years they almost had something with infinite but they fucked it up by not having actual employees with 70% of the workers on the game being contractors so when time came for new content there's was nobody available to work on the game which is why lone wolves lasted like 9 fucking months and forge still took like a fucking year to be added to the game.
Bro halo fans need to start being hopeful and start being realistic, it’s gonna be mid same way they’ve been for the past 10 years.
I am more excited then ever. Cautiously optimistic, I just hate all the negativity from a couple of commenters in many videos. They will always exist, but they are still very annoying.
@@Will057 Agreed. Give us more Halo.
I'm *very cautiously* optimistic with this. My and others fans' asses are still chapped from how much of a mishandled mess that Halo Infinite was. Restructured studio or not, they got to prove themselves to me and get their next couple of Halo games right on DAY ONE.
No ands, ors, or buts.
Give us a battlefield/ horde style halo game. If you LOOSE too many sectors that turn into blight zones, you retreat to the Control Room and activate Halo for a tie
Yes! At last, some positive Halo news. It's about time...I loved what I played of Infinite, but I was absolutely gutted when development of the campaign ended so abruptly. So much unfulfilled potential. 😥 It's time Halo fans get the games they've been waiting for and deserve.
I've tried so hard not to get hyped this but I can't help myself
Okay hear me out please! 🙏🏽
Game Mode Concept: 50v50vAI (Inspired by Halo 5 Warzone and Battlefield Conquest)
• Teams: Two teams of 50 players each, plus an AI faction.
• Objective: Capture and hold points similar to Battlefield’s Conquest mode, while battling both enemy players and AI forces.
• AI Factor: The AI faction plays an active role, attacking both player teams. Both teams must balance fighting each other and the AI to maintain control.
• Group-up Mechanic: If both teams are struggling against the AI, there’s an option for both player teams to temporarily ally for a final offensive against the AI. If no alliance is formed, the AI can win the match.
• Final Offensive: If one team is dominating, the losing team can choose to ally with the AI for a last stand. In this scenario, the AI stops regular spawns and sends out two powerful tank enemies to support the final push.
This creates a dynamic game mode where players need to manage enemy teams and AI, with shifting alliances and tactical opportunities. This gives us the best of both worlds like firefight and conquest had a baby!
I read the article and ofc we’ll see but it seems like the dev team has the right focus and priorities. They mentioned focusing on what made halo a great game and listening to players in order to understand what the community wants and loved in older halo games.
My hopium is most definitely rising and this reminds me of H3 ngl… the fact that they talk about studying and understanding the core fundamentals of original trilogy is a good sign but time will tell
It doesn't matter what it is, thevpoint is,it's here and moving!
I think it isn’t a tech demo cause it’s not meant to show what’s possible, it’s showing actual asset building for future games
kinda makes me want to go back and replay the halo games. got me hyped
What I want more than anything in the world is more story telling in the world of halo that we know and love. A perfect example would be ODSTs. While I get the lore from Halo 4 and Halo 5 have ultimately replaced them, I feel that this was a missed opportunity to add so much more depth and grounded lore that we see so much of in the books and the bungie games. I look forward to what this studio has in mind when developing Halo moving forward.
Foundry is a promise of what’s to come
They should release these tech demos under the name Halo: Foundry. Think like the Matrix Awakens demo. It would be a cool treat for the fans while waiting for future updates.
They are creating a workflow for how they will build the next game. Like they said they are trying to change the recipe on how they make games.
Last thing 343 Industries did right was 'CHIEF'S ARMOR' in Infinite,
That should not be changed,
We need more action in that armor!
Remember when they released Infinite Engine trailer and we were so hyped...then they made the story and gameplay what it is and we were flaccid the entire time....
I think they mention “projects” and not titles/games is that they plan to do things like a battle royale and different game modes to bring in the masses vs the classic campaign and multiplayer game releases. They admitted they were trying to complete a battle royale project but had to abandon it due to issues with slipspace engine
I hope they use Halo comics and Halo Reach art style for inspiration, particularly in terms of proportions. Narrow waist, wide shoulders, small head, large arms and long legs.
I’m somewhat exited about this new game because of how much the developers have suddenly changed and since that they are referencing the Bungie Halo Titles and *only* the Bungie Halo Titles. If this new experimental title confirms what the is going to be and it works *properly,* then this will put us as Halo Fans back on the old rails that we all haven’t seen in almost 12 years.
Unreal has some sort of new polygon system that allows you to create complex shapes while still using the same if not less computing power. But that’s about all I recall without looking it up.
Heres my issue. Graphics and gameplay was NEVER halo infinites problem if anything it was its biggest strength. They simply couldnt fulfil promises they made to players and couldnt get content ready fast enough, the average joe saw that and said okay peace ✌🏽 and the game died. They tried to bring it back time and time again but it only had small bumps of barely any popularity.
Hopefully using this engine they can actually get content out the door fast. However i fear the damage has been done, i know for a fact i will not be buying the next halo game for the first couple weeks adleast.
I just hope the gameplay/physics still feel like Halo.
I hope they can make it look at as real as possible
Give us a complete product at launch.
If they don't have a Halo something in 2025 i'll be sad. Next December will be 4 years since Halo Infinite released. Surely they can do a remake in 4 years.
No need for a remake. We already have MCC
@@iseerashonal821 not the same.
The head of the snake is the same, just the body thats changed.
I feel we will find ourselves in the same situation.
I want more of what they were doing with Halo infinite for Halo 7, I greatly enjoyed Infinite. But on unreal 5, hell yeah. As an OG CE fan a remake of that in between I'll definitely be hyped for
One thing I am happy about is that they have something they can drawn inspiration from, like I feel as if almost every halo game didn’t have s perfect idea on how this game should look and be able to actually put it in correctly, halo 2-3 was about the only ones where it fell perfect
So this is a rebrand.. same studio mostly? the purple hair black chick at 3:11 is the staff manager, no? I dont want woke Halo man.... And her banner on socials is very telling. I just want the game i grew up with to be what it was. Not some new age shit.
Halo is doomed
This is not your engine..........but you are welcome to it
I think to bring halo back to the forefront they would need to make the best halo game ever , the best forge , the best sandbox, (make every previous halo weapon and vehicle in UE5) and let the fans create their own experiences on top of what the devs create
As an exclusively Halo gamer, I wouldn’t say I’m hungry for more… I simply want the same amount of content as Halo 3 had.
Co-op campaign on launch.
3 DLC multiplayer map packs over 3 years sounds fair and achievable.
Unlockable armor/aesthetics from achievements sounds fair and programmable.
Loads of weapons and vehicles seems doable since Halo 5 showcased this (can keep the fun/unbalanced stuff out of ranked).
And for the love of community, pre and post game lobby chat!
Looks amazing! Im definitely down for it if it ends up being good. But there is no chance I’m pre ordering any halo game for the foreseeable future.
As long as the new halo has everything infinite has right now at launch. I mean everything. Plus a long campaign with great story telling
A new studio for halo yes finally halo can maybe be Revived 🎉🙏
I hope Next game maintains an open world but with a more true to lore ring with various biomes and stuff.
Hopefully 343 will just be remembered as a bad dream
I think a halo ce remake would be cool but it would be really cool operating out of alpha base and do the missions threw there
It’s about time. We’ve been forced to watch 343 demolish everything we love about Halo for far too long. The tech demo looks great in UE5 and it appears the new commanders have good intentions. Several games in development also sounds good. I like the direction they appear to be in. We’ll see if they can walk like they talk.
I think what theyre trying to say is a tech demo is more conceptual, possibilities and more of a pitch to sell to the players.
However foundry is about them creating real assets that they could just plop a player into and play it like a normal halo game on the xbox.
Im pretty sure tech demos dont account for the technical limitations of a console
I loved Infinite's campaign more like that pls
But longer
Didn’t know you were woke but it makes sense now.
It better be the Halo reboot that I've always wanted.
Apart from obvious concerns about gameplay and content, I afraid that optimization might become shittier. In this trailer they use Nanite + Lumen everywhere, and it's fine for pre-render which it is. But in real-time it can cripple performance.
I am skeptical .. I will wait and see once it comes out .. don't wanna get my hopes up. Right now Halo Infinite gameplay is good .. not alot of content it is what it is. Although am skeptical on multiple halo projects as I want to know how much effort or how many missions are in it and if the story is halo in the universe as well as if the effort in it is good as I don't wanna hear they are done or game is perfect as we the fans will see and decide if its great or perfect .. I am still waitin on the book Halo Shadow of Reach to come to halo game like a flashback as it wasn't in halo infinite.
When you look at the chief of staff over at 343/Halo studios... Yeah, press x to doubt on things improving. It's gonna be the same thing again. Keep your hopes veeery low people.
Changing the Halo story is extremely risky, Halo 5 had decent combat but tried to revolutionize the story, they need to follow the old story that everyone loves
Or. Or, and hear me out on this, they need to make a new story that doesn't involve John. That or just quit touching halo.
I'm cautiously optimistic
The amount of Ai/Characters on the Screen 343 was able to achieve was an artifact in slipspace from bungie’s blam! Engine, no matter the tech you’re running with ai, animations, etc break after a fairly low cap by todays standard. 40 or so character’s max CE - 4, see infinites forge cap is similar.
I don't want to get my hopes up but this is very exciting. I haven't been the biggest halo fan since Reach but I am really excited for this. I don't think they can make it feel like the old games though. If what they make is great then I'm excited for that but I feel that if we were to expect the new game to feel like the old games we would most likely be disappointed.
Maybe something as a UNSC marine or UNSC Army soldier and set in the early stages of the Human Covenant war.
Or a flood horror game where you play as a marine or ODST.
As an older gamer who started with Pong, I'm going to hold my excitement until this announcement comes full circle. I've been hoodwinked way too many times with Halo.
Yeah but when’s that new game coming out I’ve been waiting for a good halo since halo 3
i think in terms of them saying it's not a tech demo, it is not one for them. It is for us, but its a project for them. Like they said, a research project.
Unreal should help them out a lot. I know i want a halo game with every vehicle and weapon from all the old halo games. And i want some closer from the story from the last few games. I know they arent the best but i really want closure
I hope they make a tech demo that is exploreable like matrix tech demo.
Only thing that matters is gameplay right now. And server stability. Deliver that with these amazing graphics and Halo will either dominate completely or stay top 10 indefinitly with good support.
