@meloneslada I’m not particularly against the artistic direction (it doesn't look like Halo but it could work), it's the ideas behind those visuals what seems dumb.
@Swiss_Knight Something 343 never seemed to understand is showing us all the ideas they had doesn't matter when they never delivered on any of them. 343 was a hypothetical company because it was always "Hey look at what we could have done" and never "Hey look at what we did do".
I'm sorry but when artists go like "my art is better than this AI slop" and then post art that's not like super impressive it's just really embarrassing.
Something 343 never seemed to understand is that some elements in Halo, namely the Forerunners, should never have the mystery stripped out of them.
To bring them to the forefront is to destroy the magic.
there is an artistic area where you are too skilled to be charmingly bad but not skilled enough to be unironically good. this is what I call the untalented valley
@LateNightHalo I think most people would've been okay with it being another CEA. The problem was HS insisted so much that Campaign Evolved was a total remake and a revolution of CE thanks to UE5, only to end up with some modded Halo: Reach missions being sold as a full game.
Can we all agree that AI was a critical tool in capturing Halo from the CEOs?
Will all the AI haters now concede that in the right hands, AI is a weapon that can free us from corporate tyranny?
(Of course that same weapon can be used for evil. The weapon itself is simply an extension of the user.)
@KOYAANISQATSI56@ForwardLeaks I mean, it's kinda obvious they’ll be pitching a prototype with their own tools. They probably don’t have access to the Halo assets yet.
@TechnicalHalo One would think that developers would be discussing other topics during pre-production such as technical aspects or project deadlines, rather than that…
@evolved117@SteveChillGame@HiddenXperia I'm not a fan of a total reboot either but I genuinely don’t get how fans can still care about a lore full of mid ideas post H3 when every new title just ignores the past main plotlines and expanded universe only to replace them with something even worse...
