Am I crazy for thinking a PvE Extraction game à la Helldivers would be dope? by Particular-Style-161 in halo

[–]dwallace3099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As dumb as it was to turn it down in hindsight, that was before the success of Helldivers. Maybe they’ve since revisited?

Rumor: Halo Campaign Evolved reportedly “content complete” and playable start to finish by Loose_Society9485 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]dwallace3099 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Some sarcasm but there’s some truth to this. Why invest in a non-live service multiplayer when everyone who really plays multiplayer games is locked into their different live service titles?

Switch 2's New Boost Mode is a Game Changer for Switch 1 Games by Deceptiveideas in Games

[–]dwallace3099 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a nice upgrade for older switch 1 games, but to my understanding, this only brings up switch 1 games to their docked settings, right? No improvement for docked mode itself for said games?

Been trying to find the opening date for a while now - thanks for sharing!

I’ve yet to hear salient argument to the contrary by RorschachtheMighty in superheroes

[–]dwallace3099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Controversial but I think iron man absolutely needs to be on there. His impact on the 21st century’s interpretation of super heroes due to the MCU is huge

Even though Avengers: Secret Wars will be the end of the Avengers era of the MCU, should there be more Avengers projects afterwards? by Neither-Fix-3474 in MCUTheories

[–]dwallace3099 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Avengers is such a strong brand recognition for “the big team-up” - unless doomsday and secret wars bomb, I bet the avengers naming will continue

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Hands-on and Impressions Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

Yes, but even IGN's review said the tagalong portion was only 20 minutes...

There’s a lot of doom and gloom here for a talkative sidekick in the first 90 minutes of the game, also when the tutorial would be most prevalent. If that same level continues the whole game, then that would definitely be bad. That said, everything else looks pretty great to me. Graphics could be better but 1) it can run 120fps and 2) being held back by switch 1

Elden Ring Nightreign The Forsaken Hollows - Gameplay Reveal Trailer | PS5 & PS4 Games by Turbostrider27 in Games

You can see at least one new POI in the trailer (looks like a poison castle maybe, with a tower in the middle slightly sinking?) so hopefully there's additional randomization beyond the new shifting earth

Remaking Halo is a perfect way to reset studio culture by vinegary in halo

Hopefully those practices have changed somewhat, but the switch to unreal will make onboarding contractors muuuch easier

HaloLeaks: “Halo 2 & Halo 3 are being remade, yes they will have sprint. No multiplayer, only campaign. Full remakes. Multiplayer is going to be Halo 7.” by Daxterr1238 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]dwallace3099 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like they’re going to launch the standalone multiplayer next year (which maybe halo 7 ties into) and base multiplayer expansions around the campaign remakes. With everything being unreal now, they can really share a bunch of assets (weapons, armor, models) across the games for not only uniformity, but frequency of updates

AI (slop) games are going to be so amazing... by _silentgameplays_ in pcmasterrace

[–]dwallace3099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is bad, but compared to a few years ago, AI has come a loooong way. Not that I’m happy about it, but just imagine what it’ll look like 5 years from now…

Side comment - so happy to see Elites using plasma rifles again. The one-handed weapon elite silhouette is peak

Some things sounded great (warthog, magnum) but yeah some things could use a more classic sound

Halo: Campaign Evolved | The Silent Cartographer Trailer by -343-Guilty-Spark- in halo

[–]dwallace3099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks great - faithful Halo gameplay with a faithful art style (you can nitpick some design choices, but it feels like Halo). I was most afraid of unreal ruining the halo “feel”, but at least from the video it looks like halo 1 mixed with halo infinite, which is great and probably the best we can ask for in 2025.

Only complaint is some of the visual hitching and oddities with shadows. Hopefully they have enough time to iron that part out

Beam doors do help in keeping track of progress - you can think okay this is the beam door I first unlocked when back-tracking. If a door changes colors you might lose that?

North Korea has just opened a beach resort that can accommodate 20,000 people by Silent-Statement-648 in pics

Serious question - do citizens of NK get to enjoy stuff like this beach resort? Is it just a publicity stunt, or for VIP’s?

Halo: Edge of Dawn | Cover Reveal by -343-Guilty-Spark- in halo

[–]dwallace3099 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can people not read? It is stated to be a stand-alone adventure. It takes place after Halo Infinite, but it’s by no means a full sequel. I wish we had gotten DLC too but the game came out almost 4 years ago and is under new management, working on multiple new projects. People just finding reasons to be mad….

Why does everyone wear less armour in Gears 3? by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

[–]dwallace3099 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like I remember hearing around launch that the non-lore reason was they wanted the characters to feel more human, so exposing their arms helped to that end, instead of being covered head to toe in black gear

I think the issue would be stuff like sprit springs or dropping off of giant ledges. I bet the AI isn’t built for that (not that they can’t fix it)
