Halo, Xbox's flagship series for pretty much its entire run, has hit rocky and unfamiliar terrain during this latest generation of console. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Halo Infinite was not the hit Xbox expected it to be, proving Halo isn't always a sure thing. However, it remains unlikely 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Microsoft will turn to anothe🙈r studio, of which there are many under its growing umbrella, and ask them to take the Halo reigns.
That comes straight from the horse's mouth as Microsoft's game studio chief Matt Booty told he and the team would be unlikely to hand Halo duties to a different studio. Booty was specifically asked if an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Activision studio might help out with Halo should the acquisition eventually be allowed to go through, a valid question when you consider the ongoing success of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Call of Duty andꦦ the multiple studios under the Activision banner that make that happen.
“If something like that were to happen, it would have to come from the studios... It's unlikely that we would come in and dictate that from the top,” Booty explained. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:343 Industries continues to wor🌺k on Halo, but there have been wholesale changes at the studio after Infinite fell short of expectations.
There were 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a lot of layoffs at 343 earlier this ye🌳ar. Even though it's unlikely a new 👍studio unfamiliar with Halo will wade in and help out, Booty does admit the team at 343 taking Halo forward isn't the one that got it to this point. “I feel confident in the leadership team, but the team that got us here is probably not the same team that's going to take us forward,” Booty said, adding even though cuts were a product of everything going on across the Xbox landscape, the smaller team now in place at 343 is more reflective of where Halo is right now.
Asking if an Activision studio might lend a hand or even take over Halo development is a good question to pose after the way Bungie operates under 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation became a little more transparent. After no-showing the PlayStation Showcase, reports surfaced suggesting The Last Of Us multiplaye♈r♉ project isn't in a good place. Bungie, a studio with quite a bit of experience in the online multiplayer sphere, looked at the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Naughty Dog proj𓄧ect and questioned what parts of it were designed with player retention in mind.
As for Halo, fans who have stuck with the series were hopeful they might see something from it at 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Summer Game Fest, but that didn't happen. Understandable as even though Infinite's seasons roll on, there's likely a lot of discussion behind the scenes right now with regard to what's next. Fans have even been debating whether the series is in need of a ꦦreboot. Probably not a bad idea.
