: The blog post is helpful in clarifying why I was so confused by the trailer's
: circumstances. To be honest, I remember nothing about the final conflict
: or resolution in Halo 5 and I only remember a little more about Halo 4. I
: was trying to remember why Halo 5 would have ended with the Chief floating
: in space next to a broken Halo but failed.

: So it's like a "soft reboot" where the events of Halo 4/5
: technically still happened and are canon, but 343 will introduce some time
: skip and some hand-waviness to make this effectively a new story. That's
: interesting. I guess they eventually figured "The Reclaimer
: Trilogy" (it was a trilogy, right?) was a lost cause and changed
: course?

At some point they changed it to a saga.

: The graphics are unimpressive. The models are cartoonish too, but that seems
: intentional. I can understand if they're trying to get "back" to
: the cartoonish style of Halo 1/2/3, but it feels overdone here. Almost
: like the artists pinned this image to their cubicle and used it for
: reference rather than how the armor actually looked in-game .

:-)

I think that this is the true inspiration.

To a degree I don't mind cartoony graphics. I just want: pleasant to look at and wont over tax the machine that it's running on. They will probably have to support 4k (8k?), 60 fps, split screen so I will cut them a lot of slack. I want characters to stand out from an uncluttered background, look pretty, and that's about it.

What do you want? I'm not asking in an aggressive fashion, it's more of a Mr Morden question ;-)
