Well Reach wouldn't get a 91 MC if it released today.I mean what he his definition of Masterpiece ?
He said the game will be great with big story improvement with much richer gameplay.
Halo Reach is not masterpiece but has Great Story, some gameplay change and lot content in his multiplayer and it have 91 MC.
Schreier has an article on 343 ready to go I believe, but waiting for closer to HI launch I guess.
Ah, thank you. I missed those details (context).I watched the video and ran it through Google Translate. The video is absolutely real, and the summary posted above is accurate (the translation mentioned the same things). At the end of the video the dude even had a clip of him walking out of 343's building. That's as legit as it gets.
well it has always been like this way before 2021. every developer crunches, you just didn't hear about it much before, Its nothing new. every great blockbuster game you have played has been made with crunch. every.. single.. one.So it's a video game being made in 2021?
Seems like this is the case across so many developers and publishers. When does it get better?
This hit very close.
If people could see AAA game development from the inside, they'd be surprised *any* game ships at all.
Content complete and Gold are very different, you can be content complete and still be a year out from release.Yeah I don't recall 343 saying anything like that. But I've read on here a fair amount that the game was content complete around when it would have launched last year and I'd be very surprised if that's the case.
From what we know that was the case for the first few years, when they did the E3 2018 trailer breakdown they mentioned that they were proud to say they didn't crunch to make the trailer or have the engine features ready for the trailer. It seems since then things went off the rail.The crunch part sucks, especially after this interview with Bonnie Ross, where she said that they will try to prevent it after they already broke their promise with Halo 5: https://www.usgamer.net/articles/34...on-crunch-halo-infinite-career-microsoft-xbox
It's also kinda necessary unless you're just doing an iterative sequel of an existing franchise.Developing the engine and the game at the same time is normal practice, unfortunately.
I would say a Masterpiece is something that will be looked at as a povital game that moved the industry forward for all intents and purposes, like The last of us, Red dead Redemption, GTA 3, BOTW. Games that are still referenced years after they have left our collective concience.Well Reach wouldn't get a 91 MC if it released today.
Masterpiece like GOTY material, genre defining game?

Yup, not to mention he/she is Chinese and specifically, a skybox artist. Either this is completely fake (most likely) or this person will be identified in absolutely no time.I feel like mentioning that you left 343 for CA kinda makes you easier to identify?
Plus, the one "biome" that they've already talked about features multiple different locales within it, in the real world. Swamps, snow, plains, deserts, forests etc.
Yeah not the smartest move to make if this is realYup, not to mention he/she is Chinese and specifically, a skybox artist. Either this is completely fake (most likely) or this person will be identified in absolutely no time.
he is real, he just doesnt give a fuck since he doesnt work there anymore.. you can find it brave or dumb, up to youYup, not to mention he/she is Chinese and specifically, a skybox artist. Either this is completely fake (most likely) or this person will be identified in absolutely no time.

Apparently he shows his face on camera too, so something fishy is definitely going on here. Honestly, with his face being shown on camera, this makes me think this is more fake than believable (you'd have to think an actual employee would have an NDA of some sort before speaking so candidly about a game currently under development, especially one he is apparently still working on).

What is the source on one biome?The crunch part sucks, especially after this interview with Bonnie Ross, where she said that they will try to prevent it after they already broke their promise with Halo 5: https://www.usgamer.net/articles/34...on-crunch-halo-infinite-career-microsoft-xbox
As far as this persons work goes... Who know if it'll release some day. Game is supposed to be a platform for the next 10 years and I'm sure they'll need lots of content to have a steady stream of updates. Maybe his work will be part of it.
Gotta say... That news about PNW-biome (+ sub-biomes) is pretty disappointing and their reasoning is, too. Something about making Zeta Halo more believable, which I find mind boggling for a game like Halo. I can't help it, but I constantly get reminded of Cortana's "incelement weather" comment in Halo CE.
The news about snow storms and etc. coming post launch also give your post even more credit.
he is real, he just doesnt give a fuck since he doesnt work there anymore.. you can find it brave or dumb, up to you
Yeah, like I said above, the fact he unveiled his real identity actually makes me super suspicious of this overall. He either completely murdered his own career just now, or this is fake. Either outcome seems pretty goofy.Yeah that was a suicide move lol.
Not only you breached NDA and are legally liable, but no company will want to risk hiring you in the future.
I'm not sure what part offended you, I just said his identity will be easy to narrow down with knowing that he is Chinese, worked for 343 then CA, and a skybox artist. Not sure what upset you, didn't say anything that crazy lol???????????????????????????????????????
The man literally showed his 343 ID. And what does his nationality have to do with anything, what the fuck is wrong with you???????

They should have trusted the process and moved to UE a few years ago after the first internal reboot (you can find plenty of info on the topic) They got scared and kept pushing with their current setup and yeah, that's what happens when you are retrofitting and adding engine features at the same time
It's just unavoidable imo. The software I work on as nothing to do with games. Literally nothing, and I was up till maybe 2am last night watching over a hotfix release we were doing and making sure nothing catastrophic happened. That's on top of the late nights it took to find/fix the problem leading up to last night.well it has always been like this way before 2021. every developer crunches, you just didn't hear about it much before, Its nothing new. every great blockbuster game you have played has been made with crunch. every.. single.. one.
Not what he's saying, but the fact that if this were a real employee, that they're so openly breaking NDA for a game currently in development. Something very suspicious about this story, which makes me lean fake, but this is pure speculation. Otherwise, why would an employee commit employment suicide?

Then after posting that I learned he showed his face, and now you're saying his badge, so yes, his identity seems very confirmed. Relax.
I know for a fact he is a real employee. I know this specific artist, not in person but know of himWhile I believe the crunch stuff is real. I think this guy wasn't a 343 employee. He is purposefully damaging his career. These people have NDAS. If real, except a Microsoft lawyer to go after him.

Murdered his career? He dosent work at MS anymore so he dosent care prob.Yeah, like I said above, the fact he unveiled his real identity actually makes me super suspicious of this overall. He either completely murdered his own career just now, or this is fake. Either outcome seems pretty goofy.
I said he was Chinese because the original article seems to be in Mandarin. And him being Chinese in addition to the other details would help narrow down his identity (this is before I even knew he fully revealed his identity). Merely saying he's Chinese literally had zero racist connotations if that's what you were implying, I was just concerned this person was outing their identity before knowing he openly did it anyway!Your original message's wording is... unfortunate. I apologize for overreacting. But this is not fake, he's probably done with 343.
or maybe you aren't.. *xfiles tune kicks in
