Don the only problem is your understanding of MS and there business practises. No one is forcing anyone, they are hired to do a job. You are not forced to work at your job, you do it to get paid. 343i only exists to make Halo, if Halo didn't exist than neither would 343. If devs want to make newer experiences and didn't want to make Halo games anymore than they can get transferred to a different company or look elsewhere just like a real job. Again 343i was made to create Halo that's why they make Halo games. No one is forced because 343 is part of MS and run a division, its not a brand outside of MS. With your logic that's like you saying Sony's TV division are forced to make TVs.. haha you see what your saying? Divisions are made to continue the business in categories that's what 343i is to MS. More importantly is how the staff inside 343 are treated, if they want to move on to other things and if MS allow for those transfers. You should know this if you have a job. Its basic job practises. So stop comparing brands that were built from the ground up to brands that weren't. Completely different directions and focus. I don't want 343 to make other games, I want them to continue the Halo brand much like what they were created to do. There not forced its there job. Forced is the wrong term for that subject. You amaze me with your knowledge of spin-offs. Mario and Rabbids is a Mario game, not a Mario Kameo, if anything Rabbids are the kameo in that Mario game just like Hyrule Warriors is a Zelda game, Halo Wars is a Halo game. So what part of spin-offs don't you understand? If Mario made a appearance in Pokémon than that's called a Kameo. A game that's designed with Mario in mind with a full Mario story, Mario characters and art style than that is a Mario game. Only thing different is the genre much the same as Halo Wars correct. Spin-Offs Title - Mario and Rabbids Title - Halo Wars 2 Title - Zelda Hyrule Warriors Developer - Ubisoft Developer - Creative Assembly Developer - Omega Force Genre - RTS Genre - RTS Genre - Action Mainline Title - Mario Odyssey Title - Halo 5 Guardians Title - Zelda BOTW Developer - Nintendo Developer - 343i Developer - Nintendo Genre - Platformer Genre - Shooter Genre - RPG ^ What's the difference? Both using there franchises in the same way.
TOPIC - Now for my opinion on the topic at hand is Rare needs SoTs to succeed to not be closed down and that's a more important subject. Weather they have a contract with the game for afew years is all up to Rare and MS and what they have planned. This is a business about making money so they will do what's required. Rare has too much to be locked into 1 game forever. MS will most likely build a brand up to monitor the MMO while Rare makes something new or old. Much like how MS's history shows in the past. |
What you just described is 343 being forced to do halo. If they don't then get the hell out.
Even in the tv business there's some creative choice. Lets say the techies want to advance LED but sony says no, you have to do OLED its the future, if not get the hell out. then they would be force to do it. That's the thing about being a dev, you are meant to create. I get what you mean that 343 was created for halo, But like don said at some point, forcing the same thing on the devs will make them either quit so they can finally explore their horizon(with so little dev power ms cant afford that) or they will keep making poor quality games since they cant squeeze anymore out of it, or just are tired and cant come up with anything else. How bad halo 5 was received and the declining sales is proof of that.
It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
