  The last halo game was reach. I dont acknowledge anything past that. I might play the later games, but they arent halo

      Halo of Duty sounds pretty cool as a title for a game.

    Listen, the marines were always cooler than the spartans. They were just normal humans against giant fuckin monsters with gravity hammers and energy swords.

  “Activision subcontracts Halo development to struggling studio, Bungie.”

  That’d be weird.

  source

  • SlurpingPus@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

    Activision actually did publishing for Bungie through the 2010s.

    But the cherry on that hypothetical cake is that Sony currently owns Bungie.

    I’m sure Bungie would be happy to have the work, given their current catalog…

    I know it’s funny but the irony is that was one of the scrapped forks of Halo Infinite; as in having operators like COD.

  Well I suppose it’ll be hard to do any worse than 343/Halo Studios has done with the franchise.

    • M137@lemmy.today ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I kinda feel like it’ll be better because it’s so obvious it’ll be shit. I haven’t care about Halo since Halo: Reach but it seems like 343/Halo Studios managed to make people hope and then deliver shit every time. Now it’s just “it’ll be shit” which is better, no false hope.

  Can’t say I’m particularly excited about Activision taking over, but this was a mercy killing.

  source
• RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I mean, not thrilled Activision has it, but at this point literally anyone other than Halo Studios would be better.

  With all these studio closures and layoffs, its hard to imagine what will be left of the industry here in a few years.

  source

  • RamRabbit@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    With how strong the AA and Indy game studios are, I’m not worried. Good riddance to the AAA studios sucking up all the oxygen.

    source
  • iamthetot@piefed.ca ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It sucks to see, but what happens sometimes (not saying always) is the truly talented people who got laid off can band together to make another, smaller studio.

    I for one think it wouldn’t be the worst thing if the gaming industry got a small correction from its current direction. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not a “all AAA gaming sucks now” kind of person (I’m on a FF7 Rebirth replay and cannot wait for Revelation). But I think overall, we need games with slightly smaller scope from people who are paid better.

    • northernlights@lemmy.today ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      And with more variety. With very few exceptions, it seems I’ve been playing the same few games over and over again for 30 years and besides graphics very few things evolved.

      source
  • M137@lemmy.today ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    There are some AAA studios that still do good and the AA and indie space is still doing great. It’s not like there won’t be any good games, I think it’ll be an improvement where AAA shit will partly disappear with some bad left but the few good certainly still here and AA and indie just continue as it does.

  Microsoft screws latest Halo Activision screws latest black ops Blizzard screws latest Diablo (is that true? Not played)

  Now we swap franchises so people can be milked thinking there might be a chance they will de-shittify it

  Master chief and Nicky Minaj and snoop dog, killing unforgiven? (I forget the next level of history back they keep going and what the names are)

  We remade halo again again, big news, there’s still a grave mind somewhere! More flood!

  Same old cruft. Bad decisions, lay off staff, repeat until they buy another house.

  Good! Never has there been a more deserved studio closure. Campaign Evolved was a rushed mess.

• ieightpi@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Why even keep halo studios open?

  source

  • CTDummy@piefed.social ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Because closing the studio you hand picked to carry the franchise that use to set retail sales records more explicitly says “we shit the bed” to the community and more importantly(to them), shareholders.

    source

    • ieightpi@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That makes sense, as I was thinking about it I realized that Infinite is still ongoing so they need to keep a barebones team around for support of that. But honestly I hope it goes away. Is so pretentious and cringe having a game studio named after the game series.

      source
    • Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Couldn’t they just frame it as having reached the peak of what the Halo IP has to offer?

      It’s not like shareholders know shit about fuck, and the community doesn’t even exist in Microsoft’s eyes
