Despite the crappy name, despite the crappy music, despite the fact that Palmer is the lead character...
I want this game to be great. I want it to succeed. I want to play it. This is the first game trailer in years that I've watched multiple times in one sitting.
-OK, viewing the video on youtube now. It's rather disappointing that they are showing the gameplay on a Windows 8 phone rather than fullscreen, because that just drives home how small the screen is going to be.
-Holy crap, you can have at least sixnine of each grenade? Why can't you do that in the FPSs?
-PLASMA REPEATERS! YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!
-Vehicle jacking! Claiming abandoned vehicles!
-... the SPNKR can volley launch a hundred rockets? And the Spartan Laser has a long, continuous discharge? What the hell?
-Ooh, Brute shot.
So, apparently Spartan Assault is going to be exclusive to tablets, phones, and PCs running Windows 8. It will not be released on the Xbox.
Really? I smell an entire dairy farm's worth of bullcrap.
It doesn't make business sense to keep it off the XBox. How many people picked up Vista because they wanted to play Halo 2?
If the XBONE runs off the same kernel as Windows 8*, there can't be a whole lot keeping H:SA off the console. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it is released on Live Arcade eventually.
*The precise terminology escapes me at the moment, and I'm too tired to look it up.
Meh. Need sleep. Will comment on story expectations and One-Note Palmer tomorrow.
