Hopefully the curse of Spielberg-on-TV doesn't carry over. Well, unless it's shit like Terra Nova or Falling Skies.Yeah, but surely something like Halo would make the Game of Thrones budget seem like chump change.Something like Battlestar Galactica, constantly magnificently directed, held fantastic shipboard drama on frequently used and convincing sets and wonderful CGI in between for exterior/space battle shots for four seasons and only got better on a fraction of GoT's budget-- and that was a space opera. In Game of Thrones, the amount of CGI is hard to notice, but it's present in basically every upward facing shot of a city; much more than Battlestar Galactica and more detail/compositing work.With a skilled set of directors, well designed live sets, and an creative application of CGI, it could easily work. I'd say all of the serious CGI work on Forward Unto Dawn was about that of two episodes worth of Game of Thrones, anyways, in terms of budget spent.Honestly, I'm just having a hard time imagining a Halo series where CGI will not be utilized an extreme amounts. Especially with the environments.

Quote from: Aspie on May 23, 2013, 05:14:17 AMugh...so much expectations attached to this... I guess that's the price of being derived from an amazing franchise.
QuoteAnd 2015 won't simply be the year of "Halo 5: Guardians," it will also be a year that offers us a unique opportunity. The opportunity to invite old friends and new audiences into that universe through the "Halo" television series, launched as a unique collaboration with Steven Spielberg and some of the finest creative minds in the business. A series that will stand alone, as well as complement and enrich the game experience. We'll have more to share on the "Halo" television series as we near its projected fall 2015 release.
