    I'm still recovering from the fact that we almost had a driveable Scarab mission in Reach.

      Destiny is a nothing-game, not unlike League of Legends. It's technically one of the most successful games of all time but its cultural impact on the gaming sphere is vanishingly small (compared to something like, say, Counter Strike) and all the talk of it online consists of nothing but hatred, confusion, and soyjakkery. Everyone knows the Halo theme, name one song from Destiny. It's like how Avatar was the highest grossing movie of all time and no one remembers a single line from it

      @@paegr A) that’s my point: before Joe Staten left, Destiny was something totally different and absolutely had a chance at being a landmark title like halo, but then it’s story, missions, design, etc was all gutted.
      B) The Path, Tranquility, Remembrance, The Union, Deconstruction, The Hope, Deep Stone Lullaby.
      That’s 7 amazing tracks from Destiny. Sure they don’t have the worldwide household recognition of the halo ring monk theme, excruciatingly very few songs ever earn that reputation, but within the destiny community or Martin O Donnel fanbase these are amazing and beloved songs

      Destiny gives off so many vibes of what-could-have-been. The unused cutscenes we saw prerelease. The grimoire lore. Music of the Spheres. The game environment itself, just reeks of unexplored depths.
      Hearing in this interview how his earlier impression was an Elder Scrolls esque, more open world to explore, gels a LOT with all those feelings and vibes. Far more than what we got did.

      Wild they had 2 teams building 2 unrelated games simultaneously that can be called "monoliths genre defining first person supernatural horror." One set a level for AI with their 3 state goal system and the other has some of the best fps melee combat implementation.

    This is great! Love hearing stuff from the guys who worked on these games during the Bungie era.
    I still firmly believe that The Covenant is the greatest Halo mission ever made, there's a few others that are great in other ways such as 343 Guilty Spark, but in terms of variety and sheer scale nothing else in the series comes close to The Covenant.

    13:11 if I'm right about this, the bug He is referring to is a crash bug I have actually managed to work around.
    Basically the new overlay group system reach uses screws up when a buckled . Giant tries using any kind of overlay. So I had to prevent the buckled animations from using any overlays

    • @niles6159
      @niles6159 22 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

      This is probably correct. The animation system changes were designed to allow the AI characters (e.g. Spartans) to animate their feet/legs when rotating. At least this is how I remember it.
      Too bad you didn't work at Bungie when we made Reach 😄 Maybe we would have shipped that 'drivable Scarab' mission.

    Man, what a great interview. It's still heartbreaking to hear a lot of the "almosts" of Halo, especially 3 and Reach.
    On that note, I've seen the video Niles mentions about the cut content from Reach, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. It's a shame because it really illustrates what they wanted to do with that game with scale.
