In the first part of the GamesIndustry.biz interview with Bungie at the Tokyo Game Show, PR and community director Brian Jarrard and writer Luke Smith talked about their forthcoming game - Halo 3: Recon - and the challenges facing any Halo-themed MMO.
Here in part two they discuss new IP and the importance of community, both for the Halo trilogy and their efforts online with Bungie.net.
Q: So the other two projects that Bungie is working on - is there original IP in there?
Brain Jarrard: There is original IP in there, yes.
Alvios Games discusses the titles that inspired Vellum, including Halo 3: ODST, Mass Effect 3, Hades, and Slay the Spire.
With its smooth jazz and iconic New Mombasa streets, we need Xbox's next Halo game to return to the remarkable world of Halo 3: ODST.
Not every Halo game has been a banger, but the franchise still has a raft of the greatest games of all time.
Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.
Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
