Considering there's rumours of new sandbox additions I really hope this isn't all they announce here

I presume it's just meant to be the flood themselves, the noise is just an indicator to let you know a new wave is spawning

Fuck. I haven't been prepared for a Myth member leaving, I thought they were gonna be in it for a few more years.
Ame's done so much for not just Hololive but VTubers as a whole and she will be missed greatly. Although it does say she will remain an affiliate of Hololive, I think a remember a clip ages ago saying about her joining as a staff member after she finished her activities so maybe that is what has happened?
It doesn't say graduation or termination though so somethings definitely different about this.

The legacy console editions were far better than Bedrock imo. They were actually made for a console instead of porting a mobile version to console

They've been putting the films into cinemas near me recently, saw Episode IV for the first time on the big screen and man it was such a cool experience.
His voice as Vader is such an iconic role and part of this franchise and he will be dearly missed. Rest in peace

I am very surprised to see this, I thought for sure we would just be getting forge additions for the rest of the lifespan of new content.
Though unfortunately I do have to say it, why are we getting a human rifle as the next new weapon. What about that forerunner pistol? The banished shotgun? We've only had 1 (technically 2) weapon added and that was, a human rifle.

To be fair, it has probably been the most popular of the Star Wars shows with a lot of casual audiences getting Disney+ just for it.
Also based on the ending of S3, it might be a bit of a fresh start, as long as they do a minor bit of explanation on who Mando is and that Gorgu survived order 66 there's nothing too important they'll be missing

Glad to see we'll actually get a graduation with a proper send off, the last few members to leave haven't been given a proper chance

Armour looks good, but that helmet not so much
Also man, I remember grinding out the last headshots with my Spartan company in swat. Then in our group chat saying we'll team up again for Halo 6. Then they went and abandoned the idea of spartan companies :/

That's an interesting point, never thought about that.
I'm not so sure it applies here though, there's been complaints about Infinite's physics since the start with a lack of grenade jumping being one mentioned thing not working like previous titles. Unless they're doing the classic 343 move of forgetting what you learned from the previous game, this just feels like them trying to get small wins into the game whilst they can

Based.
Though I would 100% be fine with paying for Stardew DLC, the base game is worth so much more than its current price

Sounds very similar to the Mel situation, especially since he was able to make a final post on his Twitter.

Iirc they were working on among us 2 then decided to scrap that and just add the planned features to the original game. Definitely the best choice for the situation

I personally don't mind some of the less serious cosmetics but I 100% get why others don't like it. But selling us colours which we've been free to select since the first game was a terrible decision, I still can't even choose the combination I'd like to have.
But yeah, story dlc and map packs I would be much happier to buy than a different shade of red, as long as they were actual dev made maps and the dlc was actually good
This is a summary of the long thread from Bathrobe Spartan which you can find here: https://x.com/BathrobeCast/status/1812578845108625769 343 kept losing people in 2023 & 2024. Lead to more outsourcing content. Contracts not being renewed. 50-60 people let go on top of the >100 laid off. Some roles transferred to MS/Xbox Team instead of being internalized at 343. 343 still relying on contractors, staff are not pleased to see leadership has not learned from the production of Infinite. Less than 280 employees as of May 2024, with 30% of them related to Game-Content-Production, the rest are business oriented roles & producers. Not enough positions have been opened to fill the gap from what it was before 2023. ~32 permanent positions opened in 2023 & 2024. Not enough staff to be "Production Ready". 343's budget has been severely impacted and controlled. This is why recruiting took longer and pushed people to leave. Key roles couldn't be replaced in time to finish content left. Halo Infinite didn't meet its commercial goals but made enough to justify finishing the content already contracted with external studios, but not enough to justify doing more than was started. Quote from an ex employee "No we made money, we made a lot of money. But when I walked into the test bay to test the latest build EVERY FUCKING DAY the guy running it said "why bother, they are gonna hate it anyway" that's demoralizing. I would love to tell you what we worked on, but I can't and won't, not just because of the NDA but because I'm being loyal to the company. I still want to work there. It does bother me people praise Pierre, like, who do you think mandated Forge Maps going forward..." Partnered forge maps not being high quality is due to to 343 being tied to legal obligations to fulfil the contracts but not enough time left to polish. As the product did not reach its commercial goal, projection implied it wasn't worth contracting new content outside cosmetics. Meaning no new sandbox additions. During 2023 & 2024, many employees helped other Xbox studios on their products as most Infinite content was handled by contracted studios. 343 shifting to a new production method, separating "Leading development" and Production. Hiring lead positions to do the concept and pre-production in-house & handing off the production work to other studios, similar to Halo Wars 2. Recruiting less content-creating roles and more lead profiles to test, iterate and validate content and gameplay before working with external studios to go full production. 2 studios are currently partnered to work on 2 separate projects this way. Both still in pre-production. One is a bigger scale PvP oriented project. At least 2 years before any release. Aim of this new production method is to help produce content for games at a reliable pace and more cost effective. Hopefully won't lead to reproducing what happened with Infinite. Remaining 343 staff have echoed they feel like 343 Industries isn't as much "The Home of Halo" as it was promised to them. They hope this new method of production will be the best for the franchise.
You can find it here if you want to read the full thing: https://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/677821627 It basically says that "classic style gameplay" doesn't work for the franchise because of the lowering player numbers and "feedback from Reddit". That's already enough to claim it's bs. "Anything Halo Infinite has done will be ignored and Halo 5 is the blueprint that Project Halo 7 (tentative title) will be built on." Mmm yes let's build a game based on H5, the one that was received so poorly it caused them to go back to classic styled. All abilities from H5 will be back and includes double jump and wall running. Come on, you're just taking ideas from Titanfall. This bit is the icing on the cake. "The goal of the campaign's story is to be "the true Halo 6" after the nonsense that was Halo Infinite." I find it hard to believe that someone would think that Infinite was more nonsense than 5. Rest of it is just prometheans returning but nerfed and no banished but from the first point you can tell this is bs, I just felt like sharing it

1.6 ended up being a little larger in scope than originally planned. I'm done adding major new content to it now, though, and it's in a bug-fixing and polishing phase until it's ready for release. Thx for your patience. It'll be fun to see everyone play it! He also replied to a user saying it will absolutely be releasing this year! https://nitter.net/ConcernedApe/status/1750962107682857258

A shame to see Millie go so soon, I loved her in the Christmas special. Hopefully everything is fine behind the scenes and it's not a repeat of season 1's production

The Mandalorian and Grogu are embarking on a new adventure — to movie theaters. Directed by Jon Favreau, and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Filoni, The Mandalorian & Grogu will go into production in 2024. “I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created,” said Favreau. “The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting.” "Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have ushered into Star Wars two new and beloved characters, and this new story is a perfect fit for the big screen," added Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. The Mandalorian & Grogu will lead Lucasfilm's ongoing feature-development slate, including films helmed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, and Dave Filoni, who is also currently developing Ahsoka Season 2, among those in the works. This is the Way.
