Microsoft laid off most of its Halo talent in a previous lay off cycle, stripping 343 Industries of most of its staff and rebooting it as Halo Studios as a shell to mostly outsource development to other companies in the way that Call of Duty was built on the game development equivalent of sweat shops. They've already shown that they don't have the guts to make Halo 14-39, they seem to be only doing yet another remake of Halos 1-3 and maybe Reach, this time in Unreal and with "AI" to help "upscale" everything. Just four Halo games endlessly remade until people forget why they were ever originally popular.
replyWhat is Halo 14-39? Google wasn’t helpful for me.
replyRapid release schedule
replyAlso, this old idea called "sequels" back before "reboots" and "remakes" things used to keep going in numbered order~
replyI think they are just saying MS will rush out yet more Halo games, ie Halo 14, Halo 15, etc
replyOh haha, kind of embarrassing on my part. Thank you!
reply>They will just continue smash thru exactly what is killing them
replyWell, not exactly. Maybe partially, but definitely not entirely. They got a shit return on a lot of money they spent which drove down margins now they are cutting that. They lost 64 cents per 1 dollar invested so they are investing less.
