Killzone + Metroid designers working on Halo 4

[QUOTE="SecretPolice"]

TBH, that sends a bit of a chill up mah spine :o :P though I'm sure 343i knows what they're doing and I'm just hoping MS now knows that Halo 4 should without question be the premiere launch title for their knew system. - My excitement for a new Halo on 360 will be only a small fraction as much comparatively.

:P

Hopefully the Killzone guy doesn't have much say in the level design. I don't want Halo 4 to be on the rails like KZ2 and 3.

[QUOTE="Orchid87"]

At least Guerilla got Eric Boltjes (the guy that made KZ2 great and missed from KZ3 team) back :) KZ4 is in good hands!

Thats great, dont understand why they let them go in the first place.

[QUOTE="walkingdream"]I also believe not included in this report that an Ex Kojima employee who worked on MGS was hired by 343i (however i cannot remember what his position was).Cherokee_Jack

Ryan Payton. He was the assistant producer on MGS4, and as I understand it he's been given a lot of credit for modernizing the gameplay.

Camo in Halo 4 confirmed? lol

[QUOTE="JordanizPro"]

Nooooo Killzone's online multiplayer sucks eggs,they need to work with some otherpeople:(

The Metroid guy was the Creative designer for the Metroid Prime games and he is now the mission designer for Halo 4. Basically meaning the game will be gold. However the Killzone guy was the level the designer for Killzone 3 and that game had crap single and multiplayer maps :(

Camo in Halo 4 confirmed? lol

There's been camo in Halo from the very beginning... :P

But anyway, I feel like this is a step in the right direction for the title. It sucks that Retro and others are losing talent, but it makes me hopeful that Halo 4 will bring some variety to the table.

what metroid got to do with it im confused

walkingdream

Because the Metroid Prime series and Donkey Kong Country Returns had great level design.

[QUOTE="-Snooze-"]

It'll still be "same old Halo" though.

The series needs to evolve.

PAL360

It´s interesting how the same old Halo formula still feels unique and fresh (untouched since Halo CE) and didnt turn like CoD/KZ/Medal of Honor/Battlefield/etc game yet :)

Half the people that complain about Reach say it isn't different enough. Then the others say it's to different from Halo 3. "OMFFFGZ I WANT BR BACKK NO BLOOM WEZ NEEDZ EQUIPMENT BACKZ GOD GUYZZ!"

[QUOTE="Chutebox"] KZ, what? And how did KZ turn out? I'm sorry, but there was nothing fresh about Reach (of the little I played).Chutebox

[QUOTE="Chutebox"][QUOTE="walkingdream"]Funny you can never please everybody. Just an observation i've noticed. :P

Hopefully MS won't piss these guys off the way they did Bungie.

But yeah this is in incredible talent and a massive opportunity for MS. And with the thruster and modified pistol seen in the trailer, you can count on seeing some legitimate changes to Halo.

Might make Halo tolerable.

Every game i posted have the same grey look, same gameplay formula, iron sights, same looking weapons, etc...

:P

Halo keeps it´s identity since 2001 and, looking at it´s popularity and scores, it didnt become old in most opinion.

Oh thats cool, so they are going to change the gameplay to a point that no one buys the game? Interesting.JohnF111

Yeah, that's definitely what two new designers joining the Halo 4 team means :roll:

[QUOTE="walkingdream"]"Kynan Pearsonhas worked with Retro studios for 7 years and has all the Metroid Prime games on his list of credits. He also played a significant role in Retro's latest hit game Donkey Kong Country Returns."

My reaction...

Metroid

Killzone

Who's the Metroid persona you mentioned???

[QUOTE="mexicangordo"]

[QUOTE="Meinhard1"] Gah! Retro lost a bunch of talent after Prime 3 and now they're losing the co lead designer / lead level designer of Donkey Kong Country Returns? I'm happy for Halo fans and excited to see what comes of this but this still kind of sucks from a Nintendo fan's perspective.

walkingdream

idk if its permanent or if it is but he still works with retro on nintendo games i just read some article about that idk if its true or not....uhm but idk if he could go back in forth with two rivaling companies either

[QUOTE="walkingdream"]

[QUOTE="mexicangordo"] Retro has gotten stronger since MP3 and I believe if im not mistaken, Kynan's role is not permanent.

[QUOTE="Mario1331"]

[QUOTE="walkingdream"]Geniune interest here. It's good to hear Retro have gotton stronger as they are a fantastic dev. But what makes you believe Kynan isn't permenant? he looks at least for the time being permenant and has already been at 343 for 7 months.

oh so i guess it is possible im pretty sure if he was leaving he would of said he left but retro has gotten stronger then ever this gen

So the people who worked on the number 1 exclusive FPS franchises for the other two consoles, are now working on the game they were competing directly against?

Someone make a joke out of this.
