In Response To: Frankie/343i, direct question... (GrimBrother One)


I think part of what perplexes me is imagining the type of wholesale effect this would have on the franchise even from an ancillary standpoint. For example, when you say "represent what is fictionally true about the Chief." I assume that this is dead-on canon. Artistic expression is for Legends (which I really liked, btw, for exactly the role it was meant to fill), not for the new trilogy that is going to championing and flagshipping the next ten years of the franchise.

Let's take for example whatever next iteration of the Encyclopedia or Visual Guide... which Mk. VI Master Chief would they show? Would there be two pics, one for "what he really looks like" and one for "how he is supposed to make you feel"? It should be iconic and consistent, it shouldn't rewrite what we know wholesale. This isn't a reboot, this is a continuation.

I also have the awful feeling that what I'm saying is being read by some (read: 343) with a far more negative and combative tone that I mean. I'm not trying to bury the game before it's shown, not by a long shot. I'm just curious about some of the verbiage used in these latest talks of artistic vision. This franchise and it's story and believable universe are important to me. Lately I feel like I've sat by and observed, and not taken the proper time to share and discuss my thoughts with the community, both those optimistic and those apprehensive.
