It's All Self Fellatio When You're Working For 343

If it was possible to anally penetrate yourself, they would have accomplished it. The western studio mindset of "let's show us all having fun and being awesome while referring to us as the best there is," doesn't interest me. Show me the arguments, show me the fatigue and show me the struggle. MGS4's making of did this really well.

"If it was possible to anally penetrate yourself, they would have accomplished it."

You are a wonderful man.

I honestly can't imagine Halo without Bungie... it just doesn't feel right at all.

mmmmm self fellatio...oh, videogames, yea it's a pretty pointless video "hey, we're making this game and this team is awesome, I mean, LOOK AT THIS TEAM, and not to mention the awesome IP we've got, hohoho, we're so lucky" talk about the goddarn game =/

never thought it was possible to be so far up your ass you can only see the delusional rainbow butterflies in your head...

I just didn't find the Halo series all that fun. I mean it's scifi shooter. I would like to see other projects, not more of the same high budget mediocrity.

These guys and gals are so Onyx its crazy.

Joking aside, I don't really have a problem with this. I'm guessing it was done for GDC. To attract talent to 343. Showing that other people enjoy their jobs there could catch some people's attention. Focusing so much on Halo as a selling point might not have been so smart though. It will attract the younger guys most likely, not sure about many of the veterans though.

The other big selling point was Sparth being the lead concept artist, and honestly that would excite me a lot more than Halo. He's very good at what he does and working/learning with that guy would be a great experience.

I don't mind them trying to attract new talent to their studio, but I would have preferred a stance beyond "Hey bro, we're doing Halo."

I want these guys to work on this for more reasons than just "I'm just doing this job because of Halo". I'm going to need more than "just" Halo to be remotely interested in Halo 4, especially after how much they kept shoving it down our throats that Halo 3 would be the last time we'd see "MC".

Funny how all this comes along side rumors that key members are leaving 343 because they don't like the way the project is going, and how its not being well directed and produced.

See but it isn't master chief or the halo IP that made the halo games good, it was bungie's ability to produce a solid, polished product, and their understanding of how varied AI should work. The halo lore is pretty weak, and I'm concerned that this project doesn't have the vision it would need to be good.

also from what i see from the video, this game could come off as a bad wank filled halo fanfiction that gets roped into canon by Microsoft's grubby little mits. just wait for the ending when cortana gets a body, you see master chiefs face, and they bone down like no tomorrow, just like in my Japanese animes.

If you're not in a group thinking you're doing the best job anyone else could, you're not doing it right. These guys are excited about what they're doing and why shouldn't they be? If they thought they were doing a shitty job, they would've changed something or left like the other guys. Even Mercury Steam thinks they did an amazing job.

And to the guys going "God, these guys are so far up their asses talking about themselves", that's what the video is about. No one heard about 343 before this, so they're supposed to talk about 343 and make people feel secure about these guys handling the biggest franchise in gaming.

More like masturbating in front of a mirror.
