    So this is a hiring drive for a studio that laid off half of its personnel about a year ago? For a series that lost its way a long time ago with no indication that it’ll get back on track?

      It does stand to reason that if they’re dropping all in house engine development, a lot of roles will be freed up. It’s not great and I’m personally not a fan of this consolidation of engines.

        You might want to root for Capcom’s REX engine licensing to take off then, because off the shelf AAA game engines are going to be much more necessary as time goes on. Then stuff like Godot for lower end games.

          Oh as someone very familiar with the field, I perfectly understand why things have come to this point and I honestly have no idea if there’s any way things could retain the way they’ve been before. I just find it worrying in different ways.

      Sounds about right. I suppose they also want to distance themselves as much as possible from the antics of frank o’connor’s 343i with a brand move like this.

      I wonder which retcons they’ll retcon. Will the foreunners be human again? Will the events of 4, 5 and infinite just be one big fever dream?

    Is Halo Studios just 343 rebranded, or a new studio? I’m not up to date with Halo/Xbox news.

      I feel like I’m being needlessly nitpicky but the animation of chief brandishing the energy sword at the end looks so clunky and awkward.

      though generally speaking, the visuals are tight.

        Yeah those animations look like shit. Something that came out of a Steam shovelware UE5 stock asset dump game like one of those countless jumpscare clone games.

        It looks so unprofessionally rigid, jank and lazy.

        It looked a bit off at full speed. Slowing it down (to 50%, 20%, then 10%), that really shows how clunky it is. Especially for a cinematic demo like this.

          I someone that has not played halo before I was wondering if the beer belly energy was supposed to be part of the character.

    I just want a sequel to Halo 5 that concludes the Promethean trilogy. The game ended at a great spot for a final chapter, not a fucking epilogue.

      5 was the only I never played because i never had an Xbox past the 360. Is there a massive jump between the end of that and 6?

        Yeah, Halo Infinite just skips everything that Halo 5 set up. Everything Promethean is over. There are no more Spartan companions (whether any are still alive or not is kind of up in the air). Humans are on the brink of extinction. The whole game is just telling you that’s the new reality. Not really a lot of plot, just world building.
