Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

Wow, that's a pretty nice read.

That was perty cool to read. The bit about the number of animators that work on a game was pretty surprising to me.

  • 05.26.2010 2:24 PM PDT

Only five animators? I'm no artist, but daaaaaaaammmn.

This is what I read. Blah blah blah blah How does a Brute hoist a boulder? blah blah blah.

That's it, brutes confirmed for Reach!

They've more or less been indirectly confirmed several times since Febuary.

So this is the guy who did the animation for the Spartans?
... I like him.

When I saw the Halo: Reach trailer, the first thing that came to my mind (and I realize this sounds like sucking up, but regardless, it's true) was how great the Spartans moved when going into the 'copter. I thought they looked just so fluid and bouncy. It was spectacular.

Motion Capture is a wonderful thing.

Cool story, urk.

Soooo much to incorporate into a game. What was striking my mind when I was reading that was the new addition to the game of Spartans falling a long distance and landing on one knee. It's cool to read this and be able to see the animations in progress.

Mostly I am impressed with how smooth everything flows in Reach. You guys do your job well. I hope I can do something similar some day!

5 animators? Did you get anymore for reach?

Sounds like they have a good time though. (Deadlines sound rough)

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Interesting stuff, it's always nice to have some insight into the process of making video games.
