He's a byword for endurance, the one constant in a universe rocked by Covenant invasion, but according to 343 Industries, Master Chief hasn't made the transition from Halo 3 to Halo 4 psychologically unscathed.Eagle-eyed fans picked up on changes to the Chief's armor in the new game's E3 reveal trailer, noting in particular that his mighty Spartan codpiece is no more. "There's some story behind his new look," explained studio boss Frank O'Connor in an E3 interview. "<strong>There are specific reasons why he looks the way he does and why some of his [emphasis]behaviors[/emphasis] have changed. We'll see in good time.Halo 4 gets going some time after the previous game's conclusion, with the Chief's vessel drifting in space towards a mysterious planet. "A lot of things have changed in that intervening period," O'Connor hinted. If character and setting have shifted, one thing Halo 4 aims to preserve is the feel of Bungie's original trilogy, with Microsoft Games Studios corporate vice-president Phil Spencer telling us that <a href="http://www.oxm.co.uk/29943/halo-4-will-get-back-to -what-halo-is-about-microsoft/">the new game "will live up to what fans fell in love with". Here's the trailer again for your consideration. Notice any new personality quirks? We find it hard to believe you can slaughter that many Grunts without acquiring some sort of emotional baggage.
Got this right off the 343 forums
as for halo going "back to its roots" i call more of a focus on the grand story of halo, such as the precursors and the relations to them. I call for a deeper focus on story telling and hopefully a smaller more controlled sandbox.
