![]() The ONI shenanigans are so transparently evil it's funny, how they treat Halsey is hypocritical without coming across as INTENTIONALLY hypocritical, and they utterly ruin the possibility of a cool story with Blue Team and Saber wandering around a Shield World so they can cram Halsey back into the story to lecture her. The Kilo-Five stories have an interesting premise, and set up an interesting post-war world to explore, but, at least in my opinion, don't DO anything with that. She has outright said that she doesn't like reading books from the franchises she writes for to do research - her Gears books were good, but even Star Wars fans took her to task over her severe lowball estimate of the Grand Army to a couple million for a GALACTIC WAR. The first two were mired in wasting its own premise, and the third has barely anything to do with them to the point I still haven't bought it (though I have heard it's a better standalone). And that the biggest problem the Kilo -Five books have is probably not her fault. I will concede that Traviss isn't a TERRIBLE author. But asking this subreddit who is better between Nylund and her. I loved the character and world building in the books, particularly BB, and Traviss has her strengths. I realise I've been frustratingly vague and airy with this reply, but that's because I don't want to spoil anything. Aside from the lack of subtly to it, I thought it was fairly believable. Some people in the Halo community disliked the way Traviss handled it, but for me personally I thought it was accurate to how people with the knowledge they have would feel. The different perspectives shown are from characters who don't have all of the information that we, as readers of the other lore, know, so their opinion of certain events and individuals is different. I won't go into detail, because Kilo-5 is a genuinely good read and I don't want to spoil it for you, but some of the messages in the series are "smash-them-over-the-head-with-a-gravity-hammer" subtle. Now, in the Kilo-5 trilogy Traviss portrays established characters in ways that hadn't been seen before. For Halo, he is revered because he basically set the standard that all following additions to the lore are held to. Personally, I don't think its fair to compare Nylund to Traviss - Nylund basically created the lore backbone and foundation of the Halo canon, and is (rightly so) held up as one of the great science fiction authors. Eve Online developer CCP games has used the system, and its chief technology officer believes it could upturn the traditional download model.Oh wow, this is going to get some. The technology uses Amazon Web Services to stream apps, including games, from the cloud to devices. Amazon recently acquired Double Helix Games, developer of the Xbox One Killer Instinct reboot and the multiplatform Strider reboot.Įarlier this week, Amazon made its AppStream cloud streaming service available for all developers. Halo novelist Eric Nylund joined Amazon Game Studios as director of narrative design last year. Amazon Game Studios released its first game, Living Classics, in August 2012. If the rumors come to fruition, it would be the latest step in the online retailer's entry into gaming. The controller image above includes back, home and menu buttons much like the software buttons built into Android. The unannounced, unconfirmed set-top box is rumored to run a forked version of Google's Android operating system, just as Amazon's Kindle tablets do.
