Nobody wants to work on Halo anymore (343 lead designer leaves for EA)

343 Studio Lead Designer has left the studio for EA Visceral. 

Former 343 Industries project lead designer Scott Warner lands at Dead Space studio working on unannounced game.

Halo 4 project lead designer Scott Warner has joined the Electronic Arts-owned Visceral Games, the developer announced on Twitter today.

 

  So 343's lead designer has ditched Halo, and as we all know, Bungie already left Microsoft because they no longer wanted to develop Halo games.  It's funny how nobody wants to continue developing Halo, yet theres millions of 12 year olds who still want to play it. Halo really is the Justin Bieber of videogames. 

no future for halo halo is deeeaaad confirmed

Scott Warner  Project Lead Designer and later on, Design Director of 343 Industries announced on Twitter last night that he would be leaving the company to move onto new adventures in his life.

We at Beyond Entertainment want to thank Scott for his work on Halo 4 and wish him the very best in his future endeavours.

Halo was dead after Halo 3

yeah, they should have started a new IP instead of making Halo 4.

MS is too scared to take risks.

Maybe this will be for the best for Halo anyway. 

I'd be shocked if the next Halo sold more than a couple million copies. Knowledgeable gamers know the franchise is dead and will follow Bungie over to PS4 and play the superior version of Destiny.

Is a huge franchise with a lot of followers. Nobody on their right mind would just abandon something like that.

Hell you have Sony still clinging to Killzone for some strange reason.

Right. Because devs never move to other companies. Completely unheard of.Kaze_no_Mirai

Someone moves on to a better paying job. Clearly a sign of how nobody wants to continue developing Halojg4xchamp

NathanDrakeSwag

That is really a testament to Halo. "a couple million copies" is a benchmark for sales.

where did he say that? 

So the halo franchise is doomed because  an employee moves to another developer.

I think the franchise is fine anyway

Sony lets their developers create new IP. Do you think M$ would have ever allowed Naughty Dog to take a break from Uncharted and make TLOU? Not a chance.

Halo 4 sold over 8 million copies even though it had issues.The franchise is far from dead according to the recent global championship final live stream.343i just needs to capitalize on this.

Whatever you want, I guess. A developer moves on and thanks the community and 343 for being able to "take part in shaping the future of this great series"

You have your blinders on and will only see what you want to see, so there is no point in even replying to anything else you say.

Halo's old and tired.  if anyone still wants that gameplay kick they're just going to shift their eyes towards Destiny, not the hacks at 343.

Thats exactly when franchises should stop, when they are good and famous.

If they stop there, they have no chance to deteriorate.

Im very affraid that Dark Souls 2 wont live up to the first game because of that.

(not bothered with Ubisoft plans to make tons of AC games, none ever had enough quality to draw me in)

halo 4 was so damn linear, and the f*cking Door opening defense game with cortana, god was that awful.

343 might as well have made a freaking tower defense game.  What the hell were they thinking, such awful game design.

You are right, but Halo as a brand is still really popular, but 343i just needs to captalize on this more like by running tournaments like the global championship and etc,building a halo game that appeals to the fanbase and etc.

I hated the repetitve nature of the campaign to.I did not also like the linearity of the campaign either. I thought the defense sequences were fine anyway.

You need fanboy goggles to see where he said it...

So? 4 was awful, and I assume he had a large hand in it being awful.

Yep.

Uncharted designer leaves Naughty Dog to take up teaching. Nobody wants to work on Uncharted any more.

Ken Kutaragi leaves Sony. Nobody wants to work on Playstation any more.

Killzone lead developer leaves Guerilla games. Nobody wants to work on Killzone any more.

drakekratos leaves system wars. Nobody wants to read shitposting any more.

Uncharted 3 was the 3rd too...

Im not saying to stop at the 3rd, im saying to stop when its famous and doing well, because from there there is only one direction, DOWN!
