[StalkerUKCG]

[nillapuddin]

Wondering this as well. All we know is it's *some time* during the HaloFest thing, right?

Nah, it's lovely and smooth now. I just made a clip for you, but upload won't let me send it just yet.

Shitty OT is shitty.. but I threw it together really quick. If the thread sees decent action I can make better OTs for future tournaments.

Anyway. Thread for the launch invitational: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=137937031#post137937031

Interesting the shadows actually move live as I was repositioning the blocks, they then had a moment to render, so you can actually do some shadow planning in real time.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Actually, I was mixed up. The shadows are really blocky while you're editing, but when testing they're actually quite excellent.

Neat stuff

 

[Sordid]

No playlist populations is a bummer, hope they put them back in.

Edit: That CE hit ping noise is really annoying, jesus.

 

[Granadier]

You have no idea how excited I am that they added scripting to Forge mode this time around.


Omg.

Ghost mentioned in his stream yesterday that they're really listening to all the feedback so far and that they're aware of the CE noise detection not having a disable option. They said they're collecting all the feedback and will be working on figuring what to prioritize.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Quick question that I wanna ask because some weird pieces of Halo 4 DLC are absent, is Forge Island in the MCC?

 

[-Ryn]

So this is a thing. Montage at the end makes Destiny seem magically awesome.

Will be getting my X1 right before the H5 beta, the wait is gonna be painful lol

Hoping to see some awesome forge creations in H2A

How do you intend to pass the time?
I am going to be working my ass off and surviving off of peanut butter and crackers to afford it.

This thread might ease us when Halo 5 becomes more CODified than COD?

The Opening Comment:

I was showing a friend of mine the new FFXV and the first thing she said was " it's not like FF7 so I don't wanna try it". This developed into a debate of nostalgia and liking games based on the fact they were old. Her arugement was FF as a whole has deviated from its core roots. The randomized battles, long dungeon grinds or turn based combat were her reasons. I think she has a very valid point, but I feel at some point devs shouldn't keep trying to make games that were like what we played when we were kids. I'm all for reminniscing on the "good ol days" but I think sometimes as gamers we see every game through nostalgia glasses.

I definitely think its good to take inspiration from older games, or try to recreate those same feelings from them. But to go as far as using archaic gameplay mechanics or dated graphics or plain bad ideas? No. Do you think we was gamers look at certain games to often with "nostalgia glasses"? Or do you feel game developers need to take MORE inspiration from older games when they create new ones?

Maybe Halo's gameplay is "archaic" to some and we need to accept the new?

Then you realize you have to play Destiny to experience it.

 

[kittens]

Nah, as picky and crotchety as HaloGAF is, we're definitely open to change. We just want Halo to stay Halo. There's room for lots of different kinds of FPSs. Halo does what it does well when the developers embrace it. There's no reason to deviate too far from the Halo formula and try to make it something else.

 

[FatMarshall]

I think we all know why the population count is nonexistent...

In addition, where are Major Nelson's LIVE activity reports? I remember in the early stages of the Xbox One, a real-time chart existed. What happened to that?

Copying COD won't make people who think Halo's gameplay is "archaic" like it more, and it just alienates their current fans.

Adding new things is fine, but drastically changing the Halo formula isn't.

I need this soundtrack.

Whoa, Peril sounds different.
