@ranzu312 Why would I listen to an audio guy about art direction and game design? I listen to the art director on his take about Halo's art design because he's an expert on the subject matter.
And here I was being told that OG CE is perfect and a remaster ruins it actually. Strange that people who worked on the OG games say otherwise but hey, Twitter knows best right?
Halo Campaign Evolved’s Gestalt custom Master Chief armor features the cobalt plating of the Hunters, massive back spikes, and wriggly orange worms connecting it together.
“The moment we got those worms to feel alive on the Hunters, we wanted to see if it could work on Chief…we’ve even put the lava lamps on the forearms as well. It creates some hilarious moments in co-op when you’re in the middle of a heavy firefight…Suddenly you see a Hunter barrelling into a bunch of Covenant and you’re like, oh, they’re on my side.” #HaloCampaignEvolved
@ThatTallGuy02 Ok, so you are high. "Give me examples" I provide a list of several objectively outdated design decisions and philosophies with some more subjective ones and your response boils down to "nuh uh" sure. Engaging.
@ThatTallGuy02 Lives system, limited saves, seperate tutorial levels, hand holding GUI, storytelling told only through cutscenes, artificial difficultly design, tank controls, no maps in exploration based games, the philosophy of when are where checkpoints are given. Game design has evolved
@ThatTallGuy02 Gaming is still a relatively young industry. Which is still learning lessons in how to design experiences. There are several outdated design philosophies, that only served to hinder the player, if you don't believe that then you're pretty clueless
@ThatTallGuy02 The average person will not do that. There are countless games that require community made mods or patches to work properly. This shouldn't be the expectation to play a game
@ThatTallGuy02 Can subtract from the experience when you experience it in a modern market. Additionally, the porting of old games to platforms like steam has only started happening in the last year with zero marketing. So most players aren't aware of them.
