In Response To: Re: H:CEA Preorder bonus revealed! (JDQuackers)


: You know that wasn't the actual finished product, right? It's not fair to
: make judgement on a teaser trailer that was probably thrown together from
: an early build that is at least two months old at this point.

I didn't see a date stamp anywhere on there, someone could've started up the game and recorded that segment 10 minutes before they put it on YouTube for all we know, and anyway none of that means I shouldn't voice my concerns-- if anything I should voice them the earliest I can since they'd be more likely to be fixable.

: So you would want an entirely different Halo: CE game built from the ground
: up for the 360 but with sub-standard sounds at a lower fidelity? That
: doesn't seem like it would make sense to me. If you're creating a brand
: new game, why wouldn't you create brand new sound assets to match the
: updated everything?

No, that's why I said "tweaked" instead of "totally different", a remake/redo/revision should have pretty similar gameplay, but I'd be OK with some tweaks and less options or even quality for graphics and the good sound that was there before.

: Is this an implication that 343i is not a real game studio?

No, it's an implication talk like this doesn't mesh with them being one.

: What? I didn't realize that 343i was giving *you* a game that you had
: specifically reached out to them and asked for including a list of
: requirements that they completely ignored.

Some other people seem to be operating under that kind of impression, but I'm just saying I don't understand why they're acting like the original sound isn't an option, and I have no clue why they're not sticking with it if they think it's better (hence the asterisk, I was referring to Frankie's quote) and they know a lot of the fans agree it's better (and a lot of the non-fans, for that matter).
I was unaware of any sound fidelity issues with the original Xbox version-- if they want to re-orchestrate orchestral songs, I guess that's OK, even if I'd prefer they didn't, if they want to improve some of the foley work, I don't really mind, but I was under the impression the sound effects for things like reloading a weapon or throwing a grenade were just as intended, and I liked them the way they were-- I like the newer versions to (to varying degrees), but those were in different games, and this is supposed to be effectively the same.

You cannot fall off the floor.
