There was an exodus of Bungie developers, including long time composer Martian O'Donnel, in the March before Destiny was released; and the game was released as a work-in-progress because they had to revise the story, but meet a deadline.
Yeah even with the dumb "it doesn't feel like classic halo" arguments, I think it's the best arena shooter this gen by far.
It was a nightmare for the dev team retooling it. If this means anything, hopefully Microsoft gives them the extra time they'd need.
Too bad it died so quickly. I liked that game but always forget about it because of how quickly it died.
considering they already commited to this being a launch game, i assume that it will be hard to change at this point, but i agree.
sure, its just weird that MS said she will lead the campaign only 2 months ago.
This really seems less and less like normal turnover during development and more and more like a bad omen.
They stated this
Chris Lee would definitely be in the know about Mary's plan to leave in a couple of weeks and that's why I think Mary Olson was only chosen to fill Tim Longo's role until Chris Lee was able to find the right person to take over and besides on a project as huge and ambitious as Halo Infinite I'm sure there will be a number of producers and designers all working together.. also I'm glad the quote states these changes won't affect the release date. Mary Olson may have already been replaced by another CD for all we know.
As I stated above, I think a project as ambitious as this would have a good number of producers and creative leads working on it. we might get some info from Xbox if the project is going to be delayed but so far, it doesn't seem like it. Stinkles will give us an update. :)
