If this is true, I better not see one 360 fan start praising him out of nowhere, and saying how he's been great all along, as a producer

Don't worry.  This guy was behind half the Blu-Ray BS they spewed in conjunction with Sony.

I have not forgotten........

Why are people complaining about cutscenes? (which for the record are Kojima's perogative and not Payton's, Payton has nothing to do with the storyline) If anything, a few hours of cutscenes would only help the Halo franchise because right now the Halo narrative really cannot compete with storylines of other media. A game with a better, more fleshed out storyline is only for the better.



@DTG: Cutscenes are fine as an accentuation, but there are better ways of advancing the story that make the player feel more involved, or at least they can be involved in the cutscene themselves. See: Half-Life, Resident Evil 4, Indigo Prophecy.

The player feels more connected to the game if they are in as much control as possible.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I strongly disagree with Halo needing a few more hours of cutscenes. Thats not just Halo. I do agree that Halo 3's story was a bit "meh" and it would be great if it elevated in quality but hours of cutscenes is not what Halo is about.

You do realize that by saying this you're just begging for someone to praise him, right?

Another 9 million selling Halo game confirmed!



I woudn't mind buying episodic Halo movie games. The Halo games are kind of boring to me anyways. My ideal Halo experience would be like Brothers in Arms or Mass Effect. I hope Gearbox makes Halo 4.

Ryan Payton is a stud.

Cutscenes don't seem to bother most gamers that much so even if this next Halo did have cutscenes, I'm sure most will tolerate it if the story is really good(reason why MGS4's review scores were still very high even though it had a lot of cutscenes).  I can understand the few that prefer the stroytelling in games like Half Life though since it does add immersion.  At the same time, cutscenes have their perks as well(a fact stated by Kojima himself).

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
