They had only developed it for like 8 months. It would've been a late 2014 early 2015 title of anything
Maybe not the art style, but certainly the charm. Plus, I think that's what franchises need in their repertoire to expand its demographic.I just watched the video earlier. Looked really good, I don't think it would've fit with the rest of the franchise though.
N64 art style
woah, N64? everything there was horrendous polygons, this is nothing like that.
Anyone surprised this canceled? It would have bombed big time if it was actually released.
I wonder how long the megablocks deal runs for? It is so out of place as a lame competitor to Lego
LEGO would never pick up franchises like HALO.
The footage does look surprisingly decent, though. Is n-space still around, actually?
wow, this is like Disney Infinity Halo.

The idea they had to go with a Lego knock off cracks me up.

No, but I don't know why. They're happy to have Jurassic World and Back to the Future represented. The former is pretty bloody, and the latter has terrorists shooting civilians.
That actually looks... nice.
Kinda doesn't make sense to me that they cancelled this game and instead Spartan Assault (top-down shooter) was approved and released in 2013. This looks so much better than Spartan Assault.
The primary purpose of the Spartan games was to boost the struggling Windows Phone brand as well as the Windows Store on tablets. Both had far smaller budgets than this would have had, and the console ports of the first game would have been much smaller in cost than that. Apples and oranges.So somebody decided to cancel that but allow things like Spartan Assault and Spartan Strike to exist? Oh man...
The M rating makes all the difference. Lego isn't going to license a 17+ brand, regardless of how the actual content compares to other IPs. Prince of Persia only got a pass because the license was specifically tied to the PG13 Disney movie (and Disney has multiple deals with Lego), not the games.It's indeed somewhat arbitrary regarding the violence, but in general those franchises are still aimed at a wider age-range than Halo. LEGO also had the Indiana Jones license and that has guns and nazis. They also had Prince of Persia which seems odd to me, but I haven't played the modern games or seen the movies.
