New Agent Locke trailer

If you can't play as the arbiter, I'm going to personally bombard R34 to the emails of several staff members that work for 343i.

I really, really don't enjoy watching a series that I enjoy slowly get taken down piece by piece.
It's not though.
You're exaggerating as much as the trailer is.
Quote
I don't like watching it essentially bend the knee to modern gaming trends and audiences.
What do Reach and Halo 4 have to do with this?
Quote
I'm saying get this fucking trash out of my face and show me the shit I love about my series.
MP stuff? Yeah, we've already seen a lot of stuff for that (i.e. the god damn beta)
SP stuff? Yeah, they're clearly saving the juicy stuff for later.
Quote
I just want my fucking game to play and I want it to be good.
You didn't play the beta did you?

Not a pandering hooker who's blowing every cock that lines up.
Yes. They're obviously doing that with one trailer.
/s

Reach really started the pandering trend in Halo. It put its foot down on the gas for advertising. Which, in turn, has since, stuck with the series like glue. My point is this.

Trends grow. Trends have a starting point, somewhere, and then they expand. Over time, it's either a gradual, or quick expansion and alteration. And eventually you get to the point were the series is forgotten about and it becomes a walking ad zombie.

AKA COD.

Is this just one trailer? Sure it is. But it is, also, part of a chain of trailers. That, over time, have become increasingly more and more detached from things. More detached from the series and just being advertising for the sake of advertising.

Maybe relying on offhand memory isn't the best, but I think, if you compare an AAA game from 5-7 years ago, you'll notice the intensity of trailers is different.

As in the number.

With modern trends, there's trailers up the ass.

It may be easier to produce content these days, but a trailer, and an advertising campaign still takes time and money, and focus away from a Dev team who have to sanction shit and do their work.

I'm not saying that all hype trains are bad either. But I am saying, that seeing such a heavy focus and intergretion of them, when they aren't even really centered around anything other than making ad revinue and sales, is disappointing. It's tiresome.

There's a point were you stop, and ask yourself when will it stop? Are we gonna hit a point were trailers just show off bullshit alone and the game itself is essentially hidden behind an advertising paywall?

This is just one wee little trailer Lemon. But, if trends continue. There's going to be more.

And no. I didn't play the Beta. I don't even have an all in one entertainment system yet. I'm too poor. And primarily, waiting for some fucking decent games I can put some trust in so that I'd be willing to shell out a combined chunk of roughly 1000 dollars to pay for everything.

Just like to point out that it doesn't take time away from 343 because MS handles the marketing.

It's not a subject I'm too versed on. I know MS handles the marketing. But who's got to make the trailers? Like this one. Who did all the cinematics? The original studio's gotta have some imput somewhere. And a hand at making it as well. But not completely.

But it still is focus and time from somebody.

What the fuck is this weeb anime bullshit they're trying to put into Halo.

Also, this is a rhetorical question, so fuck off if you answer it.

343 don't do CGI stuff. That's all outsourced.

DO IT!

And I agree to an extent. He better be utilized well in this next game he's such a key character in Halo.
As for playing as him, I'm fine with that. But if he is as proactive as the Shipmaster was in Halo 2, then I'm cool with that too.

Wait a fucking second. Did that hat just teleport back in front of the fucking statue after it landed?

You see it's a metaphor. The hat was moving so fast it merely looked like it was teleporting, when in fact it was just zipping around.

Just like Locke.
