Absolute Dog Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Josh Holmes interview from the show case I had missed. 343 has 'story in mind' for Halo 5, 6 "Clear arcs" already defined, Halo studio confirms By Andy Robinson for computerandvideogames 343 Industries already has "a definite story arc in mind" for Halo 5 and 6, the studio's told CVG. Speaking at Microsoft's Xbox Spring Showcase earlier this month, 343 studio creative director Josh Holmes revealed the developer has "clear arcs" for where the second Halo trilogy will go, but in terms of how it executes those arcs, he said "that will be worked out as we go through the creative process". "We havea definite story arc in mind. We have a very, very clear vision and understanding of the story for Halo 4 obviously and as you go further out from that point into the saga it obviously becomes a little looser," Holmes said. He also confirmed the Halo 4 plot is a direct continuation from Halo 3, but wouldn't say outright if previous games contained hints as to where the new game will go - or clues as to the identity of its mysterious new foe. "Everything that we've created has been designed with constancy and tie-ins to the existing cannon," he said. "So all of the historical cannon that comes before this game has been taken into account and connects in meaningful ways. "And there's been a lot of work that we've put in to building the franchise," he added. "Specifically, Frank O'Connor and the franchise team have been developing the fiction that surrounds the franchise and they've put a lot of effort into creating those tie-ins to the things that we're building for Halo 4. "That's something that we've partnered together on for the last several years." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinreaper Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Yeah i remember that segment. If I'm not mistaken somewhere prior to CEA, they reveled that the campaign story was already planned and written for Halo 4, 5 and 6 already. Pretty good considering the time they spent equates to roughly dev work on 1.5 titles worth of work. Go 343!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biggles Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 i will presume "clear arcs" means On from halo 4? not spinning off again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choot 'em Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Also remember them previously stating that the campaign had a "definite story arc" for the entire trilogy. In other words, they know where they are going with the story, they just need to work out the "in-between" specifics. Thanks for bringing this back AD!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skummgummigubbe Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 it's cool that they already have a completed sense how they are going to make 3 games forward, we need to see how they make H4 and then we can start speculate about H5 and H6 but i like the squeeze all out of halo but i love halo so i dont mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rerun4911 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I can already tell the games will be glorious. But for some reason I can't imagine a Halo 5 or 6, maybe they'll have different names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer K34 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I very excited on how they are using three games to tell there story. This shows that they are putting a lot of decication to the fan by adding future storyline with the games, books, etc. I opinionate that the next trilogy will follow in a similar pattern and the first trilogy. Halo 4 will take place with Master Chief alone most of the time on a forunner world (i think it will be Charum Hakkor, the Precursor planet) and at the end the game, the humans will show up and rescue the Chief and Cortana. Halo 5 will have the humans fighting of and their witz to try and combat the new enemy and eradicate it, while having major conflicts with the covanent trying to regain their former glory and overtake the humans(dont know my full opinion on halo 5 yet until new karen travis book comes out). With halo 6 it will seem that the enemy has won, but then the forunners show up and ally with the humans(mabye involving the librarian) to destroy the final enemy once and for all. again this is what i think will happen based on how i know halo and storylines past and is a summed up version of whit i think the new trilogy storyline will be.

36-2071 Pragmatic Avarice Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I've seen the Halo 5 logo but it's been redacted pretty quickly. Very strange font being used if it isn't fake. EDIT: I can actually see the ONI being an enemy of sorts in Halo 6. They are way too secretive at this point about what is known and what is a real threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laddu Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Alright so Halo 4 decided what happens for the halo franchise if this tanks its over. If it does well Halo is back in the big leagues. I have asked so many of my friends if they are excited and none of them are. They have already decided it will be bad. YOu have to prove them wrong. As a strong believer in this franchise i have not given up. The developers have to realize how big this truly is. Its live or die for the series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a strong believer in this franchise i have not given up. The developers have to realize how big this truly is. Its live or die for the series. I see where you're going with this, this WILL determine a big fate for the Halo franchise if it "tanks" over. And truly, some of my friends at school aren't excited either, they just say "Call of Duty owns Halo". So, I'm sorta the only Xbox-Halo fanatic rather than the PS3-COD people.

You cant see people thru walls, you can just see thru walls, they have responded to the GI article and said that you will not be able to see other people. Also been confirmed that armor lock is out of halo 4, but the rest you said is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
