Halo 5: Guardians var måske både en stor økonomisk succes for Microsoft, samt genstand for positive anmeldelser, men dommen fra fans verden var hård - kampagnen var usammenhængende, og fokuserede ikke nok på seriens ikoniske hovedperson, Master Chief.
Dette har udvikleren bag, 343 Industries, nu anerkendt i et nyt langt interview i den seneste udgave af GamesTM magazine (blad 186).
Her fortæller Studio Head Kiki Wolfkill og Franchise Director Frank O'Connor om de fejltrin de begik med historien i Halo 5: Guardians:
We took some digs for storytelling in Halo 5, but they were absolutely merited. We very much realized that people wanted Master Chief's story of Halo 5.
"We definitely marketed in a way that we hoped was going to bring surprise, but for some fans and certainly fans of Master Chief, it was a huge disappointment because they wanted more Chief.
They loved Blue Team, they liked Osiris, but they wanted Chief. And that has been a big learning. Chief we tend to think of as kind of a vessel for your adventure rather than necessarily this major character in the universe. He's really just your entry into the universe.
Doubling down on Master Chief story and the amount of focus on him was probably the easiest learning from Halo 5. That was a really simple thing to absorb and embrace."
Er du enig? Bør Halo 6 fokusere mere på Master Chief?
