As The Master Chief Collection dictates a new direction for the series in the present, The Geek Culture looks back to the past, when Halo became an effective franchise for Microsoft.
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.
Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
Remember the days of four-player couch co-op? The Wealth of Geeks team certainly does. This list brings us back to the golden years of the original Xbox with the best four-player games that were available.
Have you ever looked at a modern first-person shooter and wondered "How did we get here?" Wealth of Geeks performs a deep dive into the genre, including some of the most influential games, from the very first FPS from the cross-genre experiences that changed the game entirely.
Great read.... looking forward to the MCC tonight!
Without Halo, Xbox would die.
Halo pretty much saved the original Xbox. I'm glad it did though, because it got some great games later on. I still hate how MS killed it after year four though.
Duh..
Playing it now in the collection, it's astonishing how good it still is compared to modern shooters. This is an original xbox game, the AI, physics, music and level design are still remarkably competent considering it's 2 console generations old.
