Isn't that same love and connection with games that got all of us to devote our careers to this industry in the first place?

its an engine announcement video

thetrin.bsky.social•139 days ago

Ppl get hyped about weird stuff lol

Lack of regular content/updates irked many people about Infinite and thus this news is pleasing fans that wanted improvements.

So many bad/depressing things that are getting spotlights in gaming—I don’t mind seeing people get really excited for this.

It'll be nice to play Halo on the PS5

Super generic propaganda piece designed to hype up the intended demographic. It's doing its job at least. The story of how we got here is far more intriguing. At least to me. I did cringe yet one of the people saying that Halo needs to be on the graphicalcutting edge. No, not really. Needs to be fun

when a company can afford to spend millions on damage control, it gets results, I guess!

football manager is switching to a new engine luke

lukeplunkett.com•139 days ago

their trailer for it was only 1 min long and was mostly just venezia kits, it gets a pass

rowan.monster•139 days ago

"mostly Venezia kits, A+"

like moving to another engine will fix everything that's up with Halo at the moment.

garulon.bsky.social•138 days ago

eh depends on the engine - licensing the No Mans Sky engine would be incredibly interesting

but UE5 is mainly so they can throw random contractors at the thing straight off the street which as we all know is a great way to sculpt a unique and compelling game

matte-gender.bsky.social•138 days ago

and surely the performance won’t suck ass like it currently does

garulon.bsky.social•138 days ago

UE5 is getting better but it's vertical res on consoles is absolutely shocking

Halo Infinite was good but it just hasn't been the same since Bungie split

I must be following a different group 'cause the first thing I saw was Paul Tassi tweeting "What the hell is this?"

cottagecoregoblin.bsky.social•139 days ago

Why is it embarrassing for people to enjoy something?

danielsand.bsky.social•139 days ago

How many people’s jobs could have been saved if they didn’t spend that money on the company rebrand?

Are film making-of featurettes really all that different?

jordanjamboree.bsky.social•139 days ago

Like, I am 90% with you, but also the way they've jangled the keys to announce something we already knew was coming into genuine excitement with a few shiny renders of a (probable) remake of a 23 year old game is insane.

matte-gender.bsky.social•138 days ago

a game that has famously already been remade

johnbp.bsky.social•139 days ago

Halo's engine is notorious for being cumbersome to use and was directly responsible for a multitude of issues Halo 5 and Infinite had.

5 ran into an actual content limit, and Slipspace was so slow the devs couldn't make content at the speed they wanted.

This was a massive change for the franchise.
