Holmes & Longo vs Lee & Bouvier (Sparth) - I'll take later's Halo vision anyday. For me personally Sparth is a keyperson for the vision along the new guy (I forgot his name, but is responsible for the trailers and "hope" concept.)
I wish Longo best for his future. He is great, but maybe not the best fit for Halo - maybe Apex or something on that line.
Still greatly missing and wondering about Payton's original vision for Hal...
I hope that XGS will hire them to make 3rd person Perfect Dark.
Like 5-6 people of that profile plus 40 Senior positions with great experience plus add 40 highly talented mid-senior developers and on top of that 30 administrative people.
The Initiative is now around 30% of that logic. As I said, on the good track.
But in the end the game is the value that makes great studio BIG! I have my fingers crossed that the Initiative will be a success. It is a big bet by Microsoft.
Still not convinced that the Initiative is BIG, but they are on the great track to be there - among the best!
I think that, judging by my inconsistent nVidia's Geforce Now experience (1440x900 with huge framedrops on my 4g/lte connection), which has Windows running machine in the background with totally inconsistent UI - Microsoft will have unprecedented lead with UI integration from the Xbox which they fully control. They can adjust it to any screen if they want, and they have developers who are already on the train. Google, Amazon and nVidia don't have anything but Windows machines to strea...
I'm sincerly interested will MS be so dear and Open to Google and Amazon with Cloud crossplay!!

I write this as a long time fan of the series; I love everything about the fifth instalament and every journalist who gave sub90 to this beauty is lame attention whore.
I need to say that bad news in this case is culmination of 'bad news'. But Longo was moved from it's role far longer than is reported. Key person is still Chris Lee.
I'm convinced that Lee as a Lead and Bouvier as Art director can produce something amazing.
Good changes are happening at 343. My biggest criticism was at Josh Holmes (lack of emotion and respect to Pro community) and previous Art Director Kenneth Scott. He was greatfit for Id...
