Halo Studios - Unreal Engine 5 Update Trailer

343 Industries has evolved. The new team, simply dubbed Halo Studios, has multiple Unreal-powered projects in development, and is entering the next chapter of the franchise and changing the recipe for how it makes Halo games.
Join members of the Halo Studios Team and go behind the scenes with “Project Foundry” - a multi-discipline research project designed to explore the creative potential of Unreal for the next generation of Halo games.

How to make a solid Halo game Step 1: Don't release an unfinished game for the 3rd time in a row

[@SteadfastWL]

Don't forget coop

[@BigRascal]

Tbf halo 4 released as a full game just it was baisically cod with a halo skin. Halo 5 was released kinda like infinite, good gameplay (terrible campaign though) but they actually rolled out updates and content really quickly and it released with way more content then infinite did. However infinite was technically a full game sorta, it had multiplayer and campaign. But it didn’t have split screen or co-op campaign and it had a ton of false promises. They said the game would release with a ton of stuff that it didn’t release with. And it either didn’t get it at all or the content they promised came like a year and a half later.

Some of you guys really need to stop by your far behind because you're not game developers you have no idea how the sources made but you got a lot of stupid ideas. Halo players are so busy being stuck on the amazingness of the early days that they can't see past it and that's what screws up halo. Everybody wanted Halo 1 in Halo 5 so in Halo 5 doesn't move the needle forward they say that the middle hasn't been moved forward. Every single Halo that introduced new stuff and actually different weapons from the old peashooters that was in every game, players revolted against that..halo gamers don't know what the hell they want but they sure got a lot of stupid ideas 😂

​@@KidGreeD14It's highly unlikely it will be a mess like Infinite. UE5 is a pretty standard development software that most Dev's use when they are starting off. It's significantly easier to master it and competently build games on it (because it has engine support by EPIC) than "Slipspace" was because that engine was a hodge podge of existing Halo structure and whatever code and building blocks and of the hundreds of contractors put into it, effectively making it almost impossible to fix. They'd have to fuck up something pretty bad to do the same on UE5. The only thing most people aren't taking into account, is that the "Halo feel" might be gone as code used by Bungie will likely be scrapped.

People don’t understand that this isn’t just about graphics. This is about performance and production. The games will be run on an engine that the studio can spend less time working on to make actually useable and more time just throwing content into. A huge problem for the studio with Slipspace is that their upgrades to Slipspace required every contracted employee to spend a lot of time learning the completely unique engine. Now they can hire people already fairly experienced with UE5 and speed production along. Maintenance will also be easier for the game because everyone has years of experience in fixing UE issues.

343 industries rename to Halo studios? That's a generic name...

[@BlackFabio]

They only made Halo games so it makes sense nonetheless

[@Spillow-C]

yes, but its better than 343, which is the the name of a villain character which literally betrays Chief and even kills a fan-favourite character. Not much different than what they did with us and the saga tho... so now they are reedeming themselves

Love how they only showed Halo CE through Reach, all Bungie games. Nothing at all what 343 did. Halo is finally free from 343 Industries!

They need to show proper gameplay for the first actual trailer of the next game, not another blueballs tech demo like the E3 2018 trailer for Infinite where they showed jungles, caves, oceans and those creatures, which didn't appear at all in the game.

[@kevinclapson]

A lot of completely out of touch people in leadership at this studio, which means really nothing has changed. If UE5 makes it easier for new designers and contractors to jump on the project and helps deliver a cohesive package than I'm all for it, but the issue; the long standing issue since Bungie left the franchise has been story and plot direction. Halo 4 dropped a story on people that were largely lost unless they read some books to make sense of it. Halo 5 doubled down on this poor decision. Infinite was worst of all; completely abandoning the plot threads and cliffhangers of 5, rolling into yet another story who's foundation required extensive knowledge of the expanded lore, and delivered an uninteresting story dancing around a potentially interesting idea. Most of the games run time (that wasn't a half-assed attempt at an open world) is spent on characters that didn't exist prior to Infinite, that largely didn't exists period outside of in-game text and sometimes short cinematics. Graphical fidelity is far down the list of issues that the franchise needs to tackle. This whole video is much ado about nothing, and that VP's comment towards the end, about Infinite being representative of how Halo used to be made and now they're moving onto something different. That speaks volumes about what's going on over there.

[@andythurman8713]

[@nathandrake9737]

Goodbye 343 Studios. Will never forget what you did to the Halo franchise. Edit: By games I’m hoping they are talking about Halo 1 Remake (showed a lot of Halo 1 esk stuff here), Halo 7, and Halo Wars 3. ODST 2 would sound too good to be true.

After nearly 15 years, not a single release has lived up to OG Bungie standards, now you wish to fully take the title of Halo in your company?? You were never good enough to encompass halo. The artists and devs are doing their jobs, it's management who has failed us. Money over fun, investments over the community.

[@BreakfastAtNoon]

If it’s the same people leading the way and writing then engine does not matter, it will still be bad.

[@Drumbum-v2u]

Very Interesting it’s more of a “visual” move and a lot of talk of what makes HALO special. The sad part is 343 doesn’t know what makes HALO special. The problems with Halo 4 Campaign, MCC launch, Halo 5 Lack of Content, Halo Infinite launch, and not just a money grab for skins. The team needs to bring in more support from players and developers from the H1 to Hreach days.
