: That's more or less what some people are saying, though I'm not sure the
: "at a glance" seems like a completely precise term. They're able
: to recognize that it's intended to be the chief (that is, there's no
: confusion of who it is in the teaser), but it doesn't "feel"
: like the chief.
: I'm... not sure how to respond to this.
: It's a very similar argument to a lot of those leveled at CEA. For instance,
: the people who complained about the 343GS swamp's new look were still
: fully able to recognize that it was intended as a representation of the
: 343GS swamp, but they felt that the redesigned foliage, lighting, and fog
: gave it a different aesthetic feel.
I'm still not seeing a description of said feelings here. The only real feelings I ever got from the Chief were in the novels, sans visuals. Aesthetic feelings through armor visuals were always very base in my opinion; he looks like a killing machine, nothing more. All this talk of conveying ideas and character though dents and scratches and shapes and forms seems like fluff to me, 343 throwing a bone to the HBO crowd starved for information. He gets shot at for a living and needs to look like he has some mobility while dressed like a tank. I don't see any real depth there beyond that, so while there are visual changes being made, in the end the armor still gets those basic points across.
