The future of the Halo franchise is a little unclear right now, but it may be a smart move to borrow one idea from Call of Duty's past.
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
Bungie veteran and current CTO, Luis Villegas, has left the company after fourteen years and has joined Sony PlayStation as its new Head of Technology.
"I feel incredibly lucky because as part of my new role I get to still work closely with my Bungie family."
New role and more pay and still can work closely with Bungie
After its latest games didn't meet sales targets, Square Enix is going multiplatform but the company's track record isn't convincing.
Square Enix been multiplatform for decades, a few exclusively-deals doesn't make them any less multiplatform.
SE needs to go all in optimization. Broken PC ports won't help its case, especially with big releases like mainline Final Fantasy
It's actually simple. What doesn't inspire confidence is Square allocating their budgets on the wrong projects such as Forspoken, Avengers, Babylons Fall and Foamstars.
Square has always been multiplatform since PS3/360 days which 80 % of their games are. People kick up a fuss over PS exclusivity but not Nintendo which has more exclusive projects console exclusive from Square.
FF16 has done ok but not enough to fix the blunders that the past mistakes Square has made with some of their projects. FF7 Rebirth is unclear we'll see a PC release for sure so it's hard to say so far not as good as they would of liked.
Then again unrealistic expectations. If it weren't for Sony these games would at least had another 2 years development time. So some people need to be realistic in that regard.
Square Enix just really need to revise its expectations. Maybe consider a change in strategy on dev end as well. Multiplat will help for sure but only good games that are marketed well will sell
Can't they just take a page from Bungie's book and take this floundering franchise back to it's roots?
It was awesome back in the day. Now it struggles to keep up, because 343i keep 'changing direction' or doing something 'fresh'. I don't want fresh, I want classic and a return to form. FFS just give it something else and save us all the pain of repeatedly dashed hopes.
Can’t Halo just be Halo? Y’know, it’s true 343 has turned this series into a mess. The truly last great Halo game, in my opinion, was Reach.
Halo needs a god of war style reboot if it wants to go back to being the giant it once was.
Halo has become a good series now which compared to the master piece status of before just isn't enough.
How 343 do it I don't know, but if keeps going like this it'll just be cool another Halo is out, not bad but not amazing either.
I don't hink Halo belongs in middle ground territory.
They should take a page from DOOM's book.
Absolutely not. They did that with halo 4 and ppl were not happy. Halo infinite was rated 11 points higher than CoD yet ppl acting like it was the opposite? Make it make sense. I will say if the buy out goes thru it would be interesting to see Activision make a ODST 2 and 343i make a CoD advance warfare dlc.
