Re: Loftus 2017

In Response To: Loftus 2017 (Joe Duplessie (SNIPE 316))

Loftus has a LOT to offer the stewardship of the Halo IP; however, in my opinion, having him focus on directing the narrative is nowhere near the ideal deployment of his myriad talents.

His statement "I don't chart the course, but I can keep you on target..." is particularly well-put. The sheer amount of compelling transmedia content that could be created based on his passions for the universe are exciting.

For example:

The idea of mixing the concepts of his scale charts and the "Library" function from Halo Anniversary, only with Blur-grade CG renders (instead of whatever the quality of the in-game graphics happened to be at the time) and user-designated voiceovers (hear Déjà describe it her way; hear a veteran UNSC Marine describe it their way; hear a Forerunner describe it their way; hear Exuberant Witness describe it her way, etc.) is something that would really help increase the appeal of going through the trouble of digesting extant EU content. Doubly so if dioramas of entire scenes from Halo's history were included in this archive.

Adding VR support for the manner in which you experience that CG eye candy would be the ultimate upgrade in appeal. Total immersion.

I suspect that Loftus would nail the QA aspect of maintaining the fidelity of the assets, and would aid in brainstorming solutions to the various issues that might come up as new (and old) content was added to the app.

Just an idea, though.
