A Big Thanks to Sotaro Tojima

I think our new Audio Director for Halo 4 deserves a massive thanks.

From the clips that we have seen, the Audio in Halo seems to be taking a much more unique turn in terms of how its shown. The music in the Halo 4 “First Look” Trailer was absolutely beautiful and the use of abnormal items such as the Potato Launcher to the Military Weapons was fascinating.

The audio for Halo 4 seems to be in a direction of pure wonder and I think Tojima deserves a huge thanks for all his hard work.

He may not be Marty but he’s certainly winning me over :3

Agreed.
Cant wait to hear more of the soundtrack.

He’s certainly the audio director, but maybe not the so far unannounced Halo 4 music composer… Big thanks to him anyway though!

Agreed, the music sounds amazing!

Agreed he is definitely doing well so far and I hope he will continue to help make music that stirs the soul.

You can’t judge the music (or its direction) from a few snippets and a couple of words! Jeez, the Halo community never fails to amaze me.

Sorry for remaining optimistic.

You guys just gotta stop making blind assumptions based of words, sounds and videos. It’s stupid.

Yeah, the BR sounds freaking amazing. Really bassy and loud, I love it.

So what are we supposed to do? Give 343i no feedback whatsoever?

According to the average Waypointer, yes.

Asian people seem to be more talented with music/audio than everyone else. Look at the game Dark Souls. Dear gawd…

Anyway, OT, I agree. Music sounds amazing, almost better than Marty IMO. The sound effects sound really well made as well. Can’t wait to see more of the game.

You guys are hopeless. As fans of halo you’d think that people would try to cheer on 343, not feed them with depressing aura and constant pessimism. There is no bright light that shines from your attitude in posts, but your not the only one acting like this.

It’s like preaching to your football team how difficult our opponent is and how easily we will be defeated, no1 does that right.

Where is the courage, I hear that it won’t be easy, but we can do it from coaches. You guys are like fail fail fail, no hope for us DO NOT ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO ARE MAKING THE GAME. We are fans and here to hope for the best. Where is the passion?

Coming from somebody who stated in an earlier thread Halo was turning into CoD gameplay.

And also, how is a 3/4 minute track a blind assumption? It sounds great, good post OP. A shame there are some real misery guts around here.

Watch me…

And a 4 minute video with lots of interviews doesn’t result in enough info to discuss possible gameplay traits? Hypocrites. That’s what I was getting at.

IS that why you usually laugh at your monitor 24/7 while everyones looking at you?
but seriously, this is the internet for you, only a few remain the way you want to see them, everyone has different views of stuff…

He aint Marty, but damn he’s good.

I agree. I liked him from the beginning.

The difference is that we are possitive while you and the rest of the whiners are negative.

Negative people aren’t liked much as they wreck anything from moral to a happy vibe.

These kind of people usually hate life and humans.

PS: Long live Sotaro
