Inside the Development of Halo Infinite - Jason Schreier article

@javycane

Tbh the article just confirms what we all expected lol.

Yep exactly, nothing in there was a surprise to me.

So, do you think we can expect the first Story Expansion in 2022 then with so much cut content?

@DARK-PARADISE

If they don’t want people to they think they deliberately cut content to sell as DLC, it might be better to have the first 1-2 DLC be free.

It’s a 15+ hour game, though. People need to be fine with that.

@Ruthwik_Rao

just launch all of those on gamepass for free instead

And market it like Spider man Miles Morales

But aren’t we suppose to support the developers! and be ready to buy up everything!

on a serious note, I guess it depends how big they are. Maybe they could tie them into MP seasons and include the SP expansion + MP battlepass in 1 bundle and then maybe even give it away for free in Game Pass Ultimate.

That ‘cut’ content wouldn’t be anywhere near complete though would it? So fair to charge for it as it’s dev time post release.

Yeah it’s not like the content is ready to be release and they just removed it last minute, it’s more they had bigger plans maybe did some work on it but then dropped it for more focused work.

[javycane (Javier Ruiz)]

Cut content due to scope ≠ cut content for dlc lol

@DARK-PARADISE

So, management, direction, vision, contractor, and technical/engine difficulties all together, hell. It’s a miracle we got Halo Infinite this good.

343 needs restructure in all of those areas.

It sounds like a miracle and it’s pretty apparent (for one more time) how even only one person can make a difference.

@Daniel

Sounds like to me they needed someone to be a rock for the studio that has everyone under control and know what they are doing and working their best work. Like in the article it says that it was like developing 5 different games, I think 343i has the case of too many cooks in the kitchen, they need a figure head that everyone trusts and backs.

Completely agree.

I don’t really expect it to 2023 tbh.

@Deadwing88

I literally got blocked by Schrier for saying he should have let 343 have their day without controversy.

But how would he sell his brand of FUD without shitting on someone else on their launch date… certainly didn’t do the same for a certain group of other developers.

Also blocked btw for calling him on his disinformation campaign around the spec reveal on the Series and PS5.

[DARK-PARADISE]

You guys, I’m not saying I want that, I’m saying it could be what many others say, now that this article is out and details that 2/3 of the game was cut. Along with it offering one biome in the Zeta Halo, it might be viewed as they cut content to sell as DLC.

Didn’t he do his ‘hit piece’ on Naughty Dog like four months before TLOU2 came out? lol

People will say whatever BS they want they don’t need some article haha don’t listen to them.

Except this isn’t actually FUD.

This is kind of more of those cheesy “overcoming obstacles” movies from the 80’s and 90s.

Narrator Voice: They were a down-on-their luck team of devs with the biggest flagship Xbox IP. Everything was looking down until… Joe stepped in.

Eye Of The Tiger begins to play in the background.

Narrator: Now he’s turning these devs from zeroes… into heroes!

So the engine that was supposed to help 343 get content out faster was the cause of really slow development of the game .

No?

No that was the old engine, they legit built the new engine while making the game

a bit like this

That’s not at all what I’ve been told by devs… perhaps stop sipping the Schreier brand of FUD?

i mean, that mf keeps selling and selling, so why not
