Explaining HUD LUV

Posted By: nillapuddin Date: 6/10/12 6:20 a.m.
In Response To: Re: WTF HUD? (General Vagueness)

: I see people saying it helps the immersion, but I still haven't seen how...
: maybe if I understand it it'll bug me less (although I'll still want it
: gone), and it should help in being able to have a discussion that goes
: past this kind of thing .
Ive been fascinated by this concept for quite a while
Middle School. Gamecube. Metroid Prime. My first real truly first person experience, the reflection of Samus face, showing the sides of the visor as if we were wearing her helmet, if youve ever worn a full faced helmet, motorcycle, airsoft/paintball, etc you would know the feeling, and to play an amazing sci-fi story from that perspective was an awesome
that was a truly immersive and interesting concept
... although I do not aspire to be a bounty hunting blonde girl, the concept was there
Bungie wanted to bring that to Halo, they wanted us to live out our video game fantasy of being the Master Chief, the put us in the helmet, and for many fans it was an additional touch that really made a difference for us (me especially)
The one game that was supposed to cement you in the boots of your individual spartan more than anything was Halo Reach and it didnt feature any first person HUD elements, and honestly I never felt the same level of immersion as I did with ODST or Halo 3, I was just a Go Pro taped to the side of Noble 6's helmet, I wasnt Noble Six himself, I didnt see through his/our eyes
Halo 4 is putting you in the MJOLNIR, you play through John on this epic adventure
The game is supposed to be a more personal, visceral and immersive experience than ever before, and to the people who care thats exactly what a first person representative HUD design does
I can imagine someone from 343 lurking on this and reading my post and being like "EXACTLY! thats what we want to show!"
theres also no doubt in my mind that other people read your posts and completely agree with you beyond the shadow of a doubt, they want that out of body experience, not in someone elses body experience
Its completely fine that you hold that opinion, however in MY opinion I just feel like it adds sooooo much to the people who want that, and does not really take away much from the people who dont, you wont see it in MP or SPops, its exclusive to the MC as a solidifying element to not just make you ride along with the Master Chief, but experience the story as if you were him
I wish it were in all game modes, but I completely understand that taking away even the slightest of slight amounts of screen real estate in competitive MP is a no-no
I love Halo and I love the Chief, I cant wait to "live" his story this fall
*hopefully i hit on everything I wanted to say, Im busting out a design tonight so I keep putting this in the background and add little bits as I hit a block, hopefully this will help you understand more of the perspective of someone who loves the design, even if you continue to dislike it, which you certainly can*
