Xbox Entertainment Studios is deep in negotiations with Showtime to develop a live-action “Halo” drama series that is a high priority for the Microsoft production unit headed by Nancy Tellem.
How do composers make the iconic music tracks from games that we love? And just what makes them so memorable?
A former 343 developer has revealed that mountains of Halo pitches failed to be approved, including a return to ODSTs and a push for more intimate, dark themes.
Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.
I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.
To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.
Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
With its smooth jazz and iconic New Mombasa streets, we need Xbox's next Halo game to return to the remarkable world of Halo 3: ODST.
I'm lost...wouldn't this be bad for Microsoft...it would be yet another reason not to convice people to get an xbox one
@ naga
I'm not trying to be negative...I'm just saying that why would they allow it to be on tv....they could have just let it release on show time and also be included on the xbox system....I just don't see how original tv shows that will also be on tv networks can be a selling point....
They are partnering with xbox studios on the halo series, so does this mean they may be co-producing the series with ms? Show time has some great shows i like and they have some really good producers. Hope this partnership results in something nice.
i dont have showtime :(
couchtuner for me it is
Yes! Showtime has some great series....
1. Dexter
2. Ray Donovan
3. House Of Lies
4. Californication
Which means this show will air on Showtime as well as Xbox, for viewers who don't own an xbox360/XB1. The benefit to watching the show on the xbox is the enhanced interactivity built in, similar to how they plan on making Quantum Break an interactive series as well. Some interesting things brewing at Microsoft.
Sucks that I just cancelled my Showtime subscription...oddly enough, I didn't see much of a reason to keep it.
Here's to hoping Netflix (and other services) gets it down the line too.
