Planned for Fall
The janitor
This game sounds like the FF15 development to me
One of the Og creators of halo and the lead director of bungie at the time.
Does Bonnie Ross even contribute anything creatively for Halo? Isn't she just an executive?
which game was that?
If that's true, then she already had a demotion, interesting. I just don't want her near anything Halo, she's a diversity hire if I've ever seen one, I fail to see anything decent that she has contributed to the series and she has almost zero energy and charisma in her talks. This is a macho franchise with almost all of the people that made it and played it being of the masculine variety, what are they thinking putting a girly girl in charge? The right woman would be great, I think of how great a job a woman did in directing Point Break (Kathryn Bigelow, James Cameron's ex interestingly), so it's doable, but with Bonnie Ross it's just obviously for ticking boxes.
She is the reason why 343i got created, so she's not a diversity hire.
Oh, recore was horrible but state of decay 2 is good IMO.
As with most things in game development, people tend to get too much credit for the good and too much blame for the bad.
He is the guy who wrote the story for Bungie Halo games and also the cinematic director. He has been the creative director for 343i since August last year.
OK so she created that studio, fair enough, it's been a terrible studio though (sounds like you may agree). Not sure Gearbox would've been much better, their work on Halo PC was decent, but not great and they have had more misses than hits the last decade. I would like a third option, maybe they could've had Halo vets create a new studio, sure they hired some, but that's not the same. She seems like the sort that usually rises to the top for all the wrong reasons, same as Kathleen Kennedy. Both diversity hires.
It's hard to say. Sometimes what separates a good game from a great game can be minor tweaks to the rules or mechanics. Imagine Dark Souls with checkpoints every three minutes or the difference that Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence made, by just giving you control over the camera. Big things can happen if you bring the pieces together in the right way. I'd say he has enough time onboard to make meaningful changes. Not to mention, Halo games have a history of coming together in the final hour.
He was one the figureheads of Halo alongside Marty O Donnell and Marcus Lehto. They all left.
I read Jason Statham, disappointed
Chris Lee
Well he's already been at 343 since August last year, he's almost certainly introduced changes to the game. He was brought to get this up to high standard, and I trust he will do just that. On a side note what is head of creative? Never heard that term before.
He was the janitor.
Well, yes and no since Infinite is supposed to be the platform for Halo for the next while.
Bungie, with Staten on board, built Halo 2 from scratch in 9 months. 343 has 10 until Infinite launches, and it would seem Daddy-Spencer has written a blank cheque, because they've got God-only-knows how many merc companies on hand to throw un-Godly amounts of man hours at this thing. I'm pessimistic as fuck about 343i, but if there is one person on this Earth I trust to deliver on Halo, its Joe Staten.
