When I first watched the demo I was a bit thrown off by the visuals. But after watching it for a third time I came to appreciate the details and textures. I think the slipspace engine is a good fit for the Halo franchise. Aside from the open world aspect, this demo looked and felt like a Halo game to me. My only problem is the absence of multiplayer in the reveal. I’m not sure how I feel about the game being open world. A poor execution could lead to a repetitive and tedious experience. I’m still excited for this game and I hope the multiplayer showcase arrives soon.
This is largely how I feel too. In theory, the open world would add a lot to the campaign sandbox if they do it correctly.
I agree. It’s natural to be wary of something new, but the more I watch it and take the time to see the links to past Halo games, the more excited I get about it.
