Hearing: 343 Industries were removed from the development of Halo games – she was assigned the role of the coordinator

Above the future series Halo Clouds are thickened. On the eve of Microsoft A wave of dismissal swept, which affected the 343 Industries – authors of the last games Halo. According to the proven Bathrobe Spartan insider, the studio did not live up to the expectations of Mikes – other developers will take up future projects for the universe.

In a long thread, the user painted everything that he knows about the situation inside 343 Industries And the plans of the team:

The insider writes that Microsoft Conducts abbreviations to prepare for a possible recession, as well as because of the high cost of producing a shooter at a small exhaust.

The studio plans for 2023 remained practically unchanged – Halo Infinite He will receive all the planned seasons, modes and new cards (possibly release Tatanka mode).

I had to refuse DLC for the story campaign. Extensions were engaged under the leadership of the creative director Joseph Staiten (Joseph Staten)-they were canceled due to economic inappropriateness and total production immediately after leaving Bonnie Ross (Bonnie ross) – founders and head of the studio. Now 343 Industries more focused on the development of multiplayer Halo Infinite. The insider suggested that this was the reason for the departure Stayteen.

Halo Infinite showed insufficiently high results in both financial and general terms. The direct development of the shooter multiplayer has long been conveyed Certain Affinity, Spearsoft and other studios, and 343 Industries will transfer to the position of "Coordinator of the franchise". Future projects Halo Third teams will also be engaged in. It’s about continuing history Halo Infinite, and spin-features in other genres.

Slipspace did not refuse the engine – third -party studios can access it if they want to work with it.

Recall, earlier 343 Industries She parted not only with the founder and creative director. In December 2022, the creative leader of the multiplayer resigned from the studio Tom French (Tom French), in July 2022 the team left the art director Nicolas Buvier (Nicolas Bouvier), and the head of the design Jerry Hook (Jerry Hook) left the organization in May of the same year.

It’s time to stop buying Filimon and the time itself has already begun to release games.

Well, of course. This Kingcasino-online.co.uk is the flagship series. Halo and Xbox are inseparable. Consider saying – “halo”, you mean “xbox”, you say “xbox”, you mean “halo”)

If the rumor is confirmed, it is interesting to whom they will transmit the development of the new Halo

I didn’t know about the DLC for the plot at all 🙁 Damn, at least 343 did some incomprehensible things in the plot of 4 and 5 parts, in Infinite in general, they corrected the situation and went out, as I think, on the desired path. It is not clear to whom and how the franchise will be handed over and whether the new studio will again be drawn by the plot Kandibober now, when the story should continue on the built arch of the new beginning of the story of Chif with a new Cortana.

Yes, just Kryukov left a car and a cart. In the same place, 4-ki was inflated to the exit of the ENT of the forerunner, released a trilogy from Greg Bir, told the whole story from and to, they all the same as did the didact and librarian. It was understood that the new Human-Forerunner War starts from the 4th part, which people were sucked the last time, and didact in the end announces this. But then absolutely from Nieer didakt they are drained in the shit-commandment between the 4th and 5th and the bastard plot begins about the journalistic investigation and Chif-District (who, after the release of 5, also turned out to be somewhat inappropriate for the plot). In short, there something very much went to them in a well-known place in the plot group right in the midst of the development of the 5th part, so they managed to change two or three times there in the jump.

There are far from the Augish stables there (here other studios suggest), but the fact that there was an atmosphere of euphoria and some kind of nonsense is clearly visible. Like an indie novice who fell from the sky a bunch of dough.

Suddenly! If you declare a policy of non-interference and silently throw grandmothers, the leadership of the studios will begin to walk the fat.And instead of picking in the hands of vibrants and shouting with screams.cut the office of the head of the studio.Just sacrifice a pack of mobs, even more reducing the efficiency of the studio.

I would say that all the things in 4 were extremely understandable, but in the fifth they all were washed away into the toilet and began this nonsense about Cortanohytler.

Oh, I would like to think that Steeten in Microsoft was held not just like that and he will take part in the development of the following parts. With him, it seems to me, there is at least some hope of continuing the history of Infinite. Well, or some creative person who is familiar with Halo history, and having an idea where to move it further. And then everything can remain in an unfinished form, such as in the five.

I did not understand, they will make a soft restart again? Immediately after Infinite – soft restart?

P.S. -For the abolition of the plot DLC, it could be something a la Hivebusters for fifth weights.

I will explain my thought to make it clearer:

We have a Halo series. There is a classic trilogy, 1st stage. Then 4 and 5 parts, 2nd stage. After-Infinite, 3rd stage.

Each stage is similar to visually, for example, from the first to the third part, gameplay, plot. Each part develops the ideas of the previous part. The stage ends – another begins. The quality of development is not necessarily good, but, for example, when creating the 5th part, they were guided by the plot, visual and gameplay of the 4th part, something was added to it, cleaned, etc.D, but in Infinite the game was re -re -re -re -fed, and the potential new part should be repelled from the basis of Infinite. Something like that.

If the rumor is confirmed, I wonder if there will be a new Halo at all?

Really? Finally it happened. I do not want to “drive” 343 Industries (although this is exactly what I am doing in this comment), but for more than 10 years of curaticity of the Halo franchise, they could not “give birth” that they specifically want to tell in this universe. In 4 parts, they began to make a soft restart, in 5 parts, the Belly God knows what, Infinite, in general, they felt from what was in the pierces of the last week before the release.

But I’m talking about the essence of the restart, and not about the plot where the bolt was put on it, and t.d, I had enough lorne jambs in the series with my head, Guardians is resting.

Nevertheless, this did not prevent it from releasing not so cool Halo and score for a new.

That is, now there will definitely not be DLC for the campaign? It turns out that in vain he was waiting for the release of the whole history, it was possible to go on a release

Well, yes, they made a pen of the pen in 4, and obviously did not know whether there would be a continuation from them. Therefore, the plot was closed (which after the saga trilogy looked a little unusual), without a clear transition to the continuation. And then, apparently receiving green light, they began to rivet Guardians – but t.To. They did not leave Kryukov in the 4th, but without Chif Halo not Halo at all, they started x … Turn this line with Cortana and other characters, apparently thinking of “promoting” the series further with new characters. But this was heated, and received significant Lule from fans that Infinite went on a very long journey to the release, and the plot arches of the 5th had to be closed at a glance. However, nevertheless, they did this, in my subjective opinion and emotional state after passing infinite, is very good. When we say goodbye to Cortana and finally take weapons, stingy tears still ran from eyes 🙂 I still remember. Yes, and re -re -recently.

The last three parts were all soft restarts like?

Not quite, 4 did not seek to be something fundamentally new, she simply modernized the series, if it is restart, then rather soft. Guardians was a continuation of the Halo 4 path, the developers tried to fix some jambs of 4, but in the end they still got a lot, but the game could not be called a restart, this is an ideological continuation. Here is Infinite, a completely different case, because in the end of the 5th part there was a powerful tank for a continuation, which was revised due to the reaction of people to Guardians in general. Together with the plot, gameplay seriously changed. Infinite is not an ideological continuation of Guardians, she tried to restart the series after Halo 5.

Guardians was not a continuation of the H4 path, all the tanks to the further plot H4, she pissed and pissed and moved in general to some kind of unknown side.
