The Forge featured maps this week are interesting.

1 is from Halo 2 Campaign (ignore that). But then the other is Security Zone, the Firefight map in Halo 3: ODST which is based on the Campaign level Oni Alpha Site and the next one is Alpha Site, also a Firefight map from Halo 3: ODST, Lol.

"Stay tuned next week for a preview of what is coming to Forge when Season 5 of Halo Infinite releases later this month—trust us, you don't want to miss it!"

I would assume most of the layoffs were from the team that made their The Expanse game, which just released it's 5th and final episode in late September. Wouldn't make much sense to layoff a significant number of devs from the Wolf Among Us 2 team when the game is still under active development. Guess they plan to only develop 1 game at a time moving forward. 

Not a bad decision considering how their games used to flood the market.

Still, The Expanse seems to have flopped hard commercially (I bought it so don't blame me).

Yeah, I don't really think The Expanse was a popular enough IP to carry a Telltale game. If you look at the IP that the old pre-collapse Telltale made deals for, they were nearly all pretty popular IP, The Walking Dead, Back to The Future, Jurassic Park, Batman, Game of Thrones, Borderlands, Guardians of the Galaxy, Stranger Things (though that one got cancelled when old Telltale collapsed). Pretty much the only small IP they did was Wolf Among Us, based on the relatively niche DC Vertigo comic series Fables, and I think it was mainly a success because Telltale themselves were riding high on success from Walking Dead season 1 winning GOTY and such.

The Expanse by comparison started as a SyFy Channel original, SyFy of course being a paid cable/satellite network, so Nielsen Analytics put it's average viewership those first 3 seasons at about 650,000 people. SyFy ultimately cancelled the series after the 3rd season due to the low ratings. Amazon picked it up after that, and while views were obviously higher on Amazon, it wasn't really huge on Amazon either, compared to the originals some of the other streaming giants were releasing at the time. While Amazon never released official streaming numbers for The Expanse like Netflix and Disney+ often do for their originals, I get the impression that viewers probably only went up from about 650k the first 3 seasons on SyFy, to maybe 5m at most on Amazon. That is just not enough fans of The Expanse to be the revived Telltale's first game as a studio, I really think they would have been better off saving it for after Wolf Among Us 2 released and hopefully proved that Telltale was properly back and as good as they ever were.



You fellas owe it to yourself to play Chants of Sennaar ASAP. I know there's the "wait for Game Pass" attitude and backlogs to wrestle with - which I get, but it's a fantastic title that won't break the bank ($20).

Did that sting ending it on a prime number?

New Poll: Gears of War: Linear vs Open World?

Which direction would you prefer Gears to go in, a traditional Gears 1-3 like linearity in level design or a further delve into open world design?

I enjoyed the open areas in Gears 5, but there was a severe lack of content to do in them. So I'd like to see a mix of linear areas/levels along with open areas that you can explore, take back bases, etc.

It's okay, I'm fine with the number ending in 3

  • 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 30 = Good
  • 1, 7, 9, 11, 17, 19, 21, 27, 29 = Sucks.


Let's go Halo 3!
