In Response To: Re: Halo creative director leaves 343. (Lurono)


: You've heard less than a minute and a half of music in a trailer that was
: purely made up of concept art. How can you even make a statement like
: "I didn't get what I hoped for so I might as well air out my
: issues"?

I'm assuming he's in charge of Halo music in general now, so I was going by that, and the reveal trailer, and the alternate version of the reveal trailer, and the redone Halo Anniversary music-- if someone else was responsible for those I'd be more than happy to be corrected with their names.

: /And I'm sorry, but the music in that video would be horrible in a Halo game
: (my opinion, of course)

That particular one, I think so, but it's closer to normal than a lot of their stuff and I think it shows a certain style that I think could work in a collaboration for Halo. Maybe I'm being fanboyish, but it can't hurt to make a suggestion and it does at least seem like a new direction for the music, right?

: So there were no monks or violins in the concept art trailer. That doesn't
: mean that there won't be any in the game. The music in the trailer evoked [snip]

Like I said, that was more ranting than anything else, things I wanted from previous games that I didn't get and didn't really complain about until now. Other people went all out on gameplay (Gravemind et al.), graphics (Levi et al.), pre-orders and exclusivity and stuff (Avateur et al.), story, and some other elements, and those are important but the sound design is what has bugged me the most so I put my focus on it and tried to not be hyperbolic in what I said-- if I failed that, I'm sorry.

You cannot fall off the floor.
