Very good news, it’s been dead silent for a good minute, damn.
I hope the gameplay and camera is like the other QD games.
Yeah but since they cut so much content, it’s not like they would have to create the assets or expansion really. I can’t imagine Microsoft/343 just throwing away everything they cut.
This is with Global Publishing right and isn’t just a timed exclusive correct?
Its not like they had a game 66% bigger than this made. They probably conceptualized something grander and had to tone it down to what we currently got.
Totally normal in software development.

Yep
MS probably approaches a publisher/dev with gamepass first and exclusivity second. Also, I think they have enough data to show how long timed exclusivity is beneficial to them.
As Dusk Falls will probably be the Q2 game of 2022. It’s either that, Grounded, or both.
Could see one of them even being released at/shortly after E3.
I think originally the entire Halo ring was meant to be explorable. Way too much for one game though
Crossfire x for Q1 is possible right?
That would of been cool, I find myself looking at the rest of the ring wishing I could go all the way around. Maybe next gen 
I don’t see the point of exploring the entire Halo ring in a single game or even with future DLC. Seems like a achieving a goal just for the sake of it, not necessarily what’s the best for the story and game design.
Like let’s imagine they want all the future DLC to be in Zeta Halo, that’s gonna constraint the story, no?

The DLC could be an endless runner, Chief has to make it all around the ring with the Banished trying to stop him.

I think I’ll need to finish story first and think about it with that context

It’s a game as a service, if it can be done, I would say do it. Elder Scrolls Online is well on its way to do so with Tamriel and multiple realms of Oblivion.

Not a first party game, but quite possibly.
If we include third parties, it might look something like this:
Not sure what other timed third party exclusives have.

I mean it is shaped as a ring, so it’s a perfect combo.

I just played the TGA demo of Blacktail. A first person survival action adventure. The survival elements actually are fun and the story is quite interesting. It has oversized talking mushrooms, a dark fairy tale like atmosphere, a morality system and environments that really reminded me of Fable. Probably Fable Legends.
It immediately got me thinking about the new Fable and what kind of fantastical and funny characters and creatures we might stumble upon. Really hoping for some really cool, unique design for creatures both friendly and hostile. I highly recommend downloading this demo on Xbox.
