Microsoft's Peter Moore has revealed that his favourite Director for the Halo movie is Ridley Scott, the man behind Blade Runner, Alien, Black Hawk Down and Gladiator to name a few
Moore said: "I love Ridley Scott. I think of him with Aliens and Gladiator and if he could do it like second Aliens, that sense of horror and action, that's one of my favourite movies of all time.
However Moore is not the one who will pick the director for the Halo.
"It's not our call. We created the intellectual property which was the screen play as the basis and once you hand it over to the studio they become in control.
"We have a lot of creative control but it's their movie."
Microtransactions have gotten ridiculously overpriced in recent years, with titles now offering cosmetic skins worth more than some games.
The elephant in the room tho is personal accountability. It’s easy (albeit basic) to blame the big, bad corpo, but microtransactions wouldn’t be where they are if gamers didn’t spend money on them. As it stands the MTs usually make more than the game. Publishers know raising game prices will cause backlash, so they do MTs to compensate. But the adult conversation is consumers determine the success of products with their wallets. So if MTs are a huge thing, it’s because we as consumers told them we like them by giving them a lot of money for them. So if you don’t want them to be a thing, convince your fellow gamers to stop buying them and expect that games will be decently more expensive. You all can disagree all you want, but reality is a bitch, and eventually you have to live in it.
There never was, the only time I paid for a microtransaction was on Blacklight Retribution (PS4) and it was because I enjoyed the game a lot so I felt the devs should get something for all that entertainment (€5 "membership")
The devs wouldn’t get that though, that shit goes straight to the higher ups who do f*** all let’s be honest.
Probably, but I wasn't as cynical back then and €5 wasn't a big ask to get the guns with grinding instead of renting them, and the game was good (still is on the PS5/4)

Yup.
There's no way anyone can even believe them at this point.
Dude the vision is crystal clear. Become the largest, third-party developer across console and mobile gaming, continue to make Xbox consoles and push game pass through consoles mobile, and PC. When the time is right, move to the cloud completely.
Xbox has pushed me from being a complete xbox 360 obsessed fan boy to ditching xbox in favor of pc/ps5 gaming. Theres no direction complete lack of focus, no exclusives any longer. They fumbled so hard with x1 and never recovered, I got tired of waiting.
Hope someone notifies him James Cameron directed Aliens. Ridely Scott's still a good choice if they could get him.
Maybe James Cameron would make the Halo movie like Titanic! It would be a timeless story, Master chief(a 7 foot cyborg soldier, probably played by some Hollywood type like Ben Affleck) manages to get on board the maiden voyage of the pillar of autumn where he meets Cortana, a rich sophisticated computer and they fall in love but Cortanas master, Captain Keyes disproves of there love but when the ship collides with an alien weapon (the halo) the two star crossed lovers are forced to try and escape the ship before the reactors go critical and the halo destroyed!!! In my head, that was all a joke but after seeing most of the video game movies it still sounds more loyal to the source material than Doom was.
Quentin Taranto! Saying it all. What a movie that would be!
Ridley Scott...nah, to slow and boring. Tony Scott would be cool.
As long as it's not McG, Wes Anderson or Uwe Boll, I'll be happy!
Maybe a fresh faced director to do it!
Ridley Scott would be fu(king PERFECT!
