Their intro vid.

Concept art done in Unreal. It's all very Halo: CE. Again, I recommend reading the linked article. It's quite in-depth and long.

We'll as I have zero faith in Halo.

The "Halo" story ended in 2007, and came full circle in 2010. All M$ is doing is parading around a corpse at this point. >>1024056 >Thread question: Spartan pussy, or xeno pussy? Elite pussy

>>1024065 sure yup. The jackals didn't seem too bad, the females in non-canon art at least.

>they actually "killed" 343 What was that quote about the Soviet Union? "Everything worked, until suddenly it didn't." This was inevitable, 343 turned one of the pioneers of gaming into a legacy franchise, but despite the poor sales and negative reception they seemed to truck on for over a decade unimpeded. 343 just felt invincible after how much they pulled and got away with, but as with all AAA studios that's a total facade. It's interesting to see all these companies flounder around the same time, 13 odd years of incompetence and bad business practice caught up with them. A lot of analysts, reporters, and industry people spent years warning how unstable and unsustainable the upper echelon of the industry was - all ignored. Now you're seeing those predictions finally come to fruition and an industry-wide course correction take place. What do you think it was, the live service failures or the rapidly ballooning costs of development? >>1024056 >thread question Oohh a tough one! I have to pick xeno.

And OP, the title is not dramatic. 343i as we knew it is dead, this is different leadership and a largely different staff that's been newly recruited and is still actively being recruited. Whether or not they can produce better Halo games than the old team is to be seen, how much they're focusing on graphics and technical showcases doesn't fill me with confidence.

>>1024056 I mean I hope they get their shit together, but I feel like their swapping to Unreal was because they still refuse to stop doing the limited contract time that fugged them over before. Doesn't matter if they get a makeover if the structural issues are barely addressed and they continue to fumble through more games. Maybe they will get lucky if the new management isn't completely retarded like they have been. >Spartan pussy, or xeno pussy? I'm torn. Xenos get a bullet but I'd imagine most spartan women are on the uglier/manlier looking side. Then again, I have a fetish for the helmet remaining on, so I guess I'll go with aspartan.

All Halo games were shit, Combat Evolved was the worst, you didn't notice because you were a kid and kids are grateful to eat shit. Xbox normalfags worshipped Halo and Bungie and Microshit because no one played anything else on Xbox unlike PlayStation which had 300 good games.

>>1024229 >LatinX

Another one, because if I saw it, you have to too.

>>1024229 >>1024238 lmao Microsoft

As much as I like the Halo universe, even though its baby's first FPS, I really wish familiarity as a concept was less effective on sales and that people could let go of series and go do new things. To me Halo has lived way longer that it should have any right to, same as other generic series that contain a tons of games to it, like cod, BF, RE, etc, each new game in these series is limited by what defines their own series so they end up very constricted by the ideas in the past, and they even have to figure out a way to keep the plot related rather than making something truly original. I think it's a net negative that we have to live in this world where things live "forever" like that. I would much rather Halo had ended either in 3 or Reach and all that focus went into making new Sci-fi shooter games.

>>1024229 >>1024238 Literal she-Boone. The simulation is getting lazy.

Nothing's going to change. There hasn't been a good halo game in nearly 15 years.

>>1024229 I don't know about you guys, but when I'm hiring talent for a high profile video game production company, I'm definitely looking for PHDs in social psychology specializing in the intersection of substance abuse and HIV pathology in minorities and faggots. Talented coders, concept artists, musicians, and texture artists... who needs all that bullshit? Glad to know that all of those worries were unfounded. It seems the future of Halo is in good hands.

>>1024065 >>Thread question: Spartan pussy, or xeno pussy? >Elite pussy Grunt Pussy

God I hope none of the 343 staff are still around. If even a single one of them is still there then I have no hope for future halo. >Xeno or human Digital pussy.

>>1024319 >Nothing's going to change. There hasn't been a good halo game in nearly 15 years. There, fixed that for you.

>>1024229 >research focused on AIDS and HIV What better place to use that knowledge than MS game studios? And people still wonder why these games have been shit for so long. They are well and truly fucked from top to bottom. Seriously, just look up dev names and watch the cavalcade of cancer that follows each search. >>1024231 I love how they keep pushing this despite 99% of spics I've met being strongly against it if not outright hostile to it. >>1024359 >God I hope none of the 343 staff are still around Seems like the replacements are just as bad if not worse. Lots of activists that have no reason to be there. >Digital

>>1024352 Wonder what nigger in her orbit got AIDS to set her after the AIDS. Maybe she has AIDS. She has become the AIDS now, turning the Halo into the horns.

>>1024229 This has to be a fake employee account, fucking diversity nigger money.

>>1024229 JESUS CHRIST PHIL He has to be intentionally bombing Xbox for China, I have no explanation for this shit.

>>1024746 >He has to be intentionally bombing Xbox for China For Microsoft. Who is owned by Blackrock, State Street, Vanguard, Steve Ballmer, and Bill Gates. Microsoft and Disney are probably the two largest pillars of DEI investment and "true believers" in this shit in existence. Disney is starting to fail, because they largely rely on their theme parks - which got hit hard during Covid, and it's easy for parents to just walk away from feeding their kids globohomo slop - especially when their kids are already getting their allotment of it from TikTok. Microsoft, on the other hand, controls large segments of the tech industry and have little to no reason to back off at this time. It will be a very, very, very, long time before they are forced to course correct.

>>1024735 The line between real life and parody when it comes to this shit has been unclear for years.

>>1024751 >Disney is starting to fail, because they largely rely on their theme parks - which got hit hard during Covid Disney is hardly failing. They're in the top 100 richest companies and their stock price hit an all-time high during COVID-19.

>>1024084 >pic Link to more?

>>1024885 Yeah but since then the stock has halved and investor meetings are now critical of how the company is being run with many questioning the DEI practices outright, forcing the CEO to come out and say they are an entertainment company first, just doing damage control.

>>1024885 >their stock price hit an all-time high during COVID-19. Covid was 4 years ago anon

I looked up a graph. Disney's 2nd in entertainment apparently, behind Netflix

>>1024967 The company is bleeding money, IS jewish. Are you surprised the jews are backing their own garbage?

>>1024967 Here's a 5 year chart, the covid boost has been practically has been wiped out.

>>1024885 >>1024967 Look up how much Disney makes and how much Disney spends. Their rate of profit last year was sub-inflation. Raw size is irrelevant to profits unless you're liquidating

>>1025040 The comparison to make's their yearly growth over a timeframe like 1980 to 2025 compared to the yearly growth of other companies in the entertainment sector.

>>1025099 Why would they hire this guy?

>>1025236 Nick Treitman was actually into guns at one point. That tweet is old but it's gone viral again recently, making him up and delete his Instagram as well as lock his account. Treitman is also just a producer, he technically doesn't even work at 343/Halo Studios but at staffing company Aquent.

>>1024926 You haven't gotten a reply in like two weeks but the artist is Saltyxodium, an extremely prolific artist with thousands of images, which is even more impressive when you learn he's only been active since around 2020. Beware, he does a lot of humiliation, femboy, blacked, pissplay, and cuck shit these days. Don't like the new art style he's developing, either. I tuned out of his work over a year ago.

>>1029401 Now upload the sitting one.

>>1029401 >fatalities Not a fan. I like women being rough, not doing snuff. Yes I know the animator made these as a joke

>>1029417 wait this guy traces?

>>1029422 Yeah, like 1:1. Really unfortunate.

>>1024229 I'm surprised she didn't spell "folks" with an "X".

>>1029426 damn. The way polar draws women is nice since he makes them look plush and soft, his colors were alright too. bummer.

>>1029433 While they are indeed traced, he picks some good quality reference images to trace.

>>1029426 No talent.

>>1024084 >, the live service failures or the rapidly ballooning costs of development? Try neither. have you heard of the magical depreciative powers of credit card purchases and loss of trade in stores for games? That's kinda one of bigger reasons that studios like 343 imploded you have consumers that are strapped for cash for new games (which they were probably buying with a credit card) and 343 probably couldn't get anymore loans to keep themselves up and running.
