I’m not saying there aren’t youngsters that still play Halo out there, I’m just saying it isn’t hard to find a few that don’t care about Halo. Back in the days of Halo 3, you’d have to search far and wide to find people of this same market segment that didn’t care about Halo.
Looking at the forest through the trees, there are less trees.
If you want attention for your indie game, then just find a way to subtly imply that Kojima is your secret director.
I would love a trilogy remaster if they redid the whole ending to part 2. The first game’s final boss was GREAT, but I guess not enough people played it because the ending boss for part 2 was clearly stripped of any funding. Part 2 does have these great boss fights throughout, boss fights that somehow managed to top the GREAT final boss for part 1, but it was just a total letdown that the final boss for part 2 deviated completely from this pattern quality boss fights.

Idk, I’m a big fan of my ps5, and in contrast hugely disappointed by how Halo was handled after Halo 3. With that said, I do think several Zenimax IPs will actually flourish better under M$’ wing.
Hear me out: M$’ issue with studios is that they never let studios take risks. They never let Bungie make their “Last of Us” (in terms of drastically changing their tone and genre). But look at the Zenimax studios: id Studios I think would be happy making DOOM and QUAKE forev...
I think it is smart to try to innovate BR. The final circle concept works, but nobody has tried to improve upon it yet.
I hope that they include solos as a playlist still, instead of sticking strictly to a team-based BR.
How long do you want matchmaking to be?
As long as they are constantly trying to fill the lobby to replace bots, I think bots are the only way to make matchmaking times viable, especially a few years down the road once the community settles.
The first game took my by surprise, so I’m sure the sequel will be great. I hope they expand the level of detail for gore (it bothers me when all zombies are cut along the same 10 lines at elbows, knees and such).
At the very least, the 3D audio sells me. The first game was bonkers at night, and improved audio will not go to waste.
Disagree. My younger cousin just knows Halo as “that old game”, and he’s over 21.
Halo needs to rebuild brand equity.
Is the dlc done yet?
Cool 🤙
Lol, I didn’t realize this was a phone game, that explains everything.
Oh no, I have to play the campaign AGAIN?!? What a hassle.
You can’t. I can’t even pay $5/month for Gold, they are closing loopholes for introductory offers just like Netflix. They don’t wanna sell a year for $50, they want to be able to raise the price to $20/month once they’re actually releasing games of their own again.
They know there is already a very good Spider-Man game out for comparison, right? Who has a ps4, and still wants this?
But guys, it’s gonna be FREE day ONE on Game Pass in 7 years, after you’ve spent $1260 on Game Pass at that point (7years X 12 months X $15/month).
I’ll hold off on game pass for the next seven years, and instead buy a XsXv2.5 just for ES6.
Lol, because it would have been the only game in the Rare bundle rated M.
And it was cool, but the mechanics haven’t aged well
They have only don’t remakes, but they were remakes of classics. And, not only have they excelled at replicating or updating what made those games classics, they have also shown great judgement with changing whatever did NOT age well about the game.
We don’t know how creative they can be as a studio yet, but we do know that they know how to make quality games with good design choices throughout. I for one cannot wait to see what their first original IP is, but I’d also be...
… I’ll bite, what are you talking about.
Which do you think is easier to plan around financially: one time purchasers, or an ongoing community of players?
Sony will survive because they make the Pixar equivalent of single player games, and Microsoft with Zenimax is Dreamworks at best in this analogy.
You can make all of the money in the world, and still invest it poorly. I hope Microsoft investing in Zenimax and Game Pass will provide financial stability to many studios. That’s just a good thing.
I also hope that they put out something innovative that isn’t just Game Pass. I can afford to buy games, so ...
