“343 focusing too much” they’re a massive studio with different divisions. They have a transmedia one that does this stuff. That division has nothing to do with the game development one.
Someone should feel free to make one with a decent OP if possible.
In fairness any chance of coordinating cross promotion between Infinite and the TV show got thrown out the window when Infinite got delayed for a year. Have to remember they were forced to let the Monster promo run it’s course (because Monster needs lead time for box and can manufacturing) and then by the time the game came out they had signed an entirely new deal with Rockstar Energy. Also, the show itself kept moving around it’s release dates. Some of the appearance and VFX wasn’t finalized until a couple months ago…
As it is, they have everyone focused on getting the game together for the next season update and backtracking to add content to Infinite’s current retail build, which is functionally relatively “dead” in terms of feature development, wasn’t going to happen especially when the show itself didn’t even have art locked in until this calendar year. It’s not really an indicator of how much anyone cares, juts a matter of picking battles.
Absolutely nothing was “fanfiction” about the budget.
Raw dollars in budget and production value are two completely different things.
People seem to think the two are the same.
We’re going live tonight at 7pm EDT to break down episode 1.
Episode 1 was good, much better than I expected.
I thought it would look cheap because it’s a TV show that needs a lot of visual effects. And those usually look cheaper the more vfx they need, unless you have a huge budget to meet the expectations.
But I though it was good enough and didn’t take me out of the experience. The Spartans I thought would have been better with CGI than with practical suits, but I can understand why they might want to do it this way.
They story is also interesting and a good start, and not being canon creates exciting possibilities. The cast is also good. Hopefully it continues delivering in the next episodes.
Going live at 7pm EDT, so 80 minutes from now. If you have any questions drop them in our OT linked above.
I need to get me a pair for ahem work…
is this game still crossplay with pc before I bitch?
SWAT with these stupid weapon variants blows as well.
I do not know with anyone else, but I find it a bit surreal that after almost a decade the Halo TV show is finally here.
Unfortunately, I live in the UK and do not have Sky, so I will have to wait until Paramount finally brings their streaming service here.
I’ve heard so much from people about not having Sky
Are they just too expensive, or are people adverse to that network for other reasons?
Well, we have multiple providers of television and Internet just like any other country, so people naturally gravitate to multiple companies, as different companies different deals. But Sky is also a satellite company, so you have to get a dish installed etc if you want to go with them for television.
Having said all that, they are one of the biggest in the industry over here, so a lot of people are with them.
Ah, I thought of them as a network of diffent channels and maybe streamed stuff as well
Had no idea they were a provider and did dish service as well. Jeez they’re big
Do they have a lot of content you can only get through them? And if so do you have to own a Dish, or can you pay to stream it as well, like with Disney, or HBO?
You guys don’t do apps?
You can stream Sky, heck they made a television just for that lol. But you can’t really subscribe to channels ad-hoc, as most come in bundles. Plus this says nothing in regards to TV contracts that typically go for 18 months, so if you are in a contract you will have to pay the remainder out to move.
That sucks
Pretty similar to why I stopped subscribing to cable TV over here
Joe says it’s taken a while to get the engine up to speed, and it’s cranking now. Sounds like we will start to get a good amount of content moving forward.
