The Art of Halo 5

December 31, 2016, 03:16:21 PM

I bought the book because I heard its potential was displayed in it.

The person wasn't wrong, and now I'm more disappointed. Cortana was not in this book either, but mentioned to be dead.

That's a lot of pictures

I feel like concept art in general these days highlights wasted potential.

Love how a lot of shots show Chief on his own though.

One of the images reminds me of DOOM.

I have the book for the art of Halo CE and Halo 2. Some of the drawings they had for Master Chief in his CE armor got damaged when their studio leaked during a rainstorm and they explain where they got "Blam!" from. Pretty cool stuff.

I think their point was

sand actually fucks up Spartan armour or like, over time it can cause problems

that or they just tried the whole Lone Spartan thing and used the PONCHO to make it seem 'cool'

The top left panel describes why. It was a decent concept, but they could have conveyed it by other means.

That was it.

I have the book myself and it really makes me think, like really, what happens between concept and development that we go from great stuff and end up with...

...this

I still want whatever game this was going to be, and not the shitty episode of Bleach that microsoft shipped last year along side the Multiplayer Early access.

True Turquoise · January 02, 2017, 03:30:54 AM

Too late for that
