RVB: Reconstruction was a good series, but after that the quality really fell. RVB: Recreation crawled along at a snail's pace, and while RVB: Revelation seems to be getting back to the enjoyable, important bits of the story, it's more far-fetched than usual. Washington's character is completely erratic, and seems to be written on the fly. Hopefully they'll find a way to ease out the inconsistencies, but for now, the current season isn't as great as it could be.

RVB: Reconstruction was a good series, but after that the quality really fell.
Yeah, I definitely agree. I enjoyed Reconstruction, but after that, it's just a mess. RT really needs to make RvB: Resolution already. Tie up all the Freelancer plot threads and start a new story. With Maine and Washington still around, it feels like Reconstruction really didn't accomplish anything. Donut was brought back just to be killed (for no apparent reason), Sister was also killed (for no apparent reason), Tex was in a trailer (for no apparent reason), and I still have no idea why C.T. was even in the story. I don't know what RT's trying to do with the story, but it's not working. The previous season was easily the weakest of all RvB.
I don't know why RT even bothered to kill Donut. Death is cheap in RvB (see Church, Tex, Flowers), so it doesn't make for compelling drama. He was out of the story for a long time, and only seemed to be brought back to kill him off. I don't even know why Washington shot him. It was pointless!

Donut's actually human though, so it makes more of an impact than Church or Tex. I believe they'll explain the reason they killed Donut off was to give Simmons a reason to call for Doc. But since Simmons was ordered by Washington to call Doc, there's no good reason yet presented as to why Donut was killed off.
And on that note, Washington is not working as a bad guy. He was fine as an anti-hero in Reconstruction, but going full-out is not doing well for his character development. It's inconsistent with his personality from the past season, and just poor plot. The series is starting to seem like a soap opera.

The thing is, it doesn't make more of an impact, because RT didn't try to make it seem significant. Also, Flowers was brought back to life too, and he was just human. I have a feeling that RT will just ignore the issue, like how we never really learn anything about CT.

RvB has been meh for years. I was really excited when they "ended" Red vs Blue on season 5. Come on guys, focus on your other work now. It's so much better than RvB, at least, better than the dead horse you've been beating recently.
e: RvB used to be purely comedy. The first few episodes were supposed to be it, just a bit of goofing around. Then the goofing around continued. Then the goofing around got a coherent storyline, which was fine, because it kept the goofing around going. But now they're pursuing the storyline first and humor second, and to be quite honest the storyline was never very good.
Back in the day I watched RvB because it was funny hilarious, not because I wanted to know what was going on in the freelancer project.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: you can let your series end gracefully while people still love it or you can keep it around long enough for people to start hating it. Simpsons, Scrubs, South Park, Monk, Star Wars, Red vs Blue, Halo, Heroes... all fantastic series that lived long enough to become the villain. At least Dollhouse, Firefly, Arrested Development, etc got to die as heroes.

Apart from the noticeable quality differences between Machinima and CGI segments, as well as the rigidness of some of those animations, that little scene was alright.
The dialogue still sounds choppy and bland, though. Very my-line, your-line, no fluid conversation.

Agreed. The quality discrepancy is too noticeable to rely on CGI the amount they've been doing.
However, they've demonstrated a definite ability to pump out a large amount of complex animations on a weekly basis, so maybe they intend to eventually replace the in-engine segments altogether.
FireDragon04
April 27th, 2010, 07:08 AM
^^ Yeah that wouldn't surprise me.
I personally really like the CGI sequences, it allows them to do somethings they wouldn't have been able to without it.
Also at times this week the Meta in CGI was nearly indistinguishable to the real ingame model...the same can't be said about Simmons and Doc... but oh well... still really funny scenes. I also loved Church's laser this week and how it 'burnt' the surface...that was a nice little touch. I'm looking forward to more, and i think we all can assume that some episodes will have more CGI than others, and some even with none.
FRain
April 27th, 2010, 09:53 AM
I personally thought it was funny when the Meta was "grabbing" at Epsilon Church.
I think if they were to really make the CGI blend in, they really should tone down the specularity and reflectiveness, cause it's really extreme (lol cad)
Arteen
May 25th, 2010, 06:32 PM
Anyone still watching these? I'm still hoping they get better. They're too in-love with their new animations to realize that Wash makes for a crappy villain, Meta lost his aura and is now boring like Wash, and their storytelling is a worse mess than ever. I loved the first six seasons (even bought the DVDs) but this season and the previous season just don't work.

I'd really prefer to have it go back to the Blood Gulch Chronicles. While the story is actually moving faster now than it did then... I actually cared more then than I did now. The Reconstruction/Recreation/Revelation story arc really isn't interesting me as much as the others.
Rob Oplawar
June 8th, 2010, 08:30 PM
I just want to see the saga finally end.
The saga DID end, imo. I was happy with the way season five of BGC ended (all three of 'em). Sure, it didn't really wrap things up or end things, but it was conclusive. Shit hit the fan, people died, and the reds and the blues went back to life as usual. The series had been winding down for a while, and it was a satisfying ending that would have let the series close with dignity, instead of being drawn out into inexplicable spinoffs that totally miss the mark.
thehoodedsmack
June 8th, 2010, 11:53 PM
It couldn't have ended properly with Season 5. Too many questions left unanswered, and too many loose ends to tie up. While it could have passed as acceptable for some other show, the plotlines of RvB are the central component to the series, around which the jokes and characters flow. Without proper closure to all the elements of the story, it will feel lacking.
They could have ended it with a 2-3 season second series, starting with Reconstruction and finishing with one or two more seasons focused on a new enemy/discovery/final fight that makes nods to important details from past seasons and ultimately brings everything to a close. But alas, they have taken far too long to get to the point, and the quality is suffering for it.
Edit: Also, the 3D work. I've said it before, but I'll say it again with more clarity. Don't go with the first available person for a job. I may be jumping the gun in saying that, but it really doesn't mix well with the rest of the show. Fix the lighting, and slow down those animations. Make it fit.
Rob Oplawar
June 9th, 2010, 08:36 PM
the plotlines of RvB are the central component to the series
I agree and disagree. They are a central component to the central component of the series: humor (or rather, were). That is, by itself plot wasn't what was important to the series, imo, the humor was. However, the plot was essential to the humor; the first few episodes were randomness, but to continue the humor like that they really needed a plot to tie it together. But I never thought the plot was very good, and I was never on edge to see what was going to happen next. When season 5 ended, I thought to myself "well, that was lots of fun. :) the end." Perhaps you had a different experience.
But like I said before, the moment they changed it around and focused on the plot and then were forced to include humor to make it bearable, the series plummeted off the quality cliff.
Their humor is still the same and their plot is still the same. But now we're focusing on the part of it that I never liked and relegating the part I did like to scattered, weak punchlines.

Reconstruction was really good, IMO. The problems with the last season and current season are that the plot sucks, the storytelling sucks, the humor isn't meshing well with everything else, they can't seem to decide whether to take the story seriously or not, and the characters aren't being handled properly.
thehoodedsmack
June 9th, 2010, 11:34 PM
The reason why I said it was central to the whole package was because I think without it, even as poor as its been, the show wouldn't be able to stand up. If it was just a string of jokes, it'd get old, fast. Like you said, the first few episodes weren't great, and I don't think the show was originally designed with a plot in mind.

There is no "Editing kit" for developers, just the source code. To edit at all and look pretty using development tools would require them to send you the entire engine source code, which AFAIK only Bungie has access to and probably would not be able to send it to them.
However, if H3PC comes out that's another story.

Holy crap, the episode was entertaining and the plot is actually moving towards an inevitable climax and resolutio!. I've waited a season and a half for this to happen! Definitely the best episode in a long time, and very clever. Hopefully it means that Roosterteeth is finally getting their act together. I actually genuinely liked an episode.
Loved the black stuff on Tucker's armor, and Tex not being able to use the sword. Very good mythology gags there.
EDIT: Watching it again. Loved how the rocket launcher is an older model, complete with a Halo 2 HUD.

Well, I watched the episode in little 30-second chunks (due to a shitty makeshift internet connection which hates to buffer videos), but what I was able to piece together was the best I've seen in a long time. I loved the nods to continuity throughout, it actually seems as if the plot threads are coming together now.
I keep hoping that Donut and Sister are going to come back, but I doubt either are going to come back from the dead. At the very least we have a makeshift Shelia.
Also, did you read the other RvB announcement? They refilmed the entirety of seasons 1-5 (reviewing the scripts for those old episodes is probably what made them put in continuity nods, now that I think about it), so it doesn't have the same shitty filming quality as the original episodes did.

Arteen
July 20th, 2010, 07:33 PM
This reminds me of the classic Dragonball Z joke, "How many Saiyans does it take to change a lightbulb? One, but it takes seven episodes." In this case, it's five episodes from finding Tex to having her rejoin the group, when it could have taken one or at most one-and-a-half to get all of the armor-lock foreshadowing and Washington-being-boring stuff done.
Also, apparently sponsors got a bonus ending revealing Donut didn't die and was just in 'recovery mode'. If they're just going to bring him back in the most dull way with no fanfare, why kill him to begin with? He could have been entirely written out of this season and the last, and the story probably would have flowed better that way. Donut's role in Recreation was awkward and poorly-written, as was his death and apparent revival. Lame.
Donut did one thing in the last season, and one thing in this one. First, he suddenly appeared and told everyone to go get Tucker. They could have just had Tucker on the radio, just like in Reconstruction. Second, he 'died' so that Wash could bring in Doc, but Doc has done jack-all himself. Wash didn't even need Donut around to trick Doc into showing up. Just having Wash and Maine still around makes everything that happened in Reconstruction feel pointless.

No they are still going to continue RvB. They've already said this would -not- be the last season. They also said that Deja View short they did in Halo: Reach is the unofficial trailer for the next season, which will be in Halo: Reach. So I guess we'll see what happens.

I believe it was during the Comic-Con panel that RvB had there. Don't quote me on it, but if there's any footage or transcript you should check it out. That's like over a month ago now so I apologize for my memory being hazy. I do know for a fact this isn't the last RvB tho. Like I said, from what I remember they spoke about it at Comic-Con.

Also, look at the PSA's under the current season. There's a couple Reach mini-series episodes. They're basically advertising the game, but it announces the move of RvB to Reach.

There will probably be something to make them fight each other again.

After all their wacky adventures, Red and Blue team get bumped to Freelancer Status, due to the shortage left by The Meta's rampaging, and the fact that they've managed to survive the whole ordeal.
They all get armor abilities, which ties into the new features of Halo: Reach.
Sarge and Church maybe get paired up as a Freelancer/AI unit.
The story shifts to more episodic installments featuring differing pair-ups of the cast as they carry out Freelancer work against new and interesting enemies, all while allowing for that classic RvB humor to be infused with almost every scene.
Wouldn't it be nice.

I wonder what ever happened to their cartoon series they previewed a year or two ago?

Yeah, me too... looks like it didn't pan out. It's just as well, RvB is classically machinima anyway. Seems like it would be kinda weird if it were animated (as it is the CG scenes in this season are kinda weirding me out).

So I watched the end of Episode 20, but only the end, and I have yet to see 19. Only realized they were actually streaming the Panel at the end.
At the end Tex and Church are trapped in the Epsilon Storage Unit, and Church decides that instead of looking for Tex, he would let her find him so that he wouldn't force her away by trying so hard, so to entertain himself while he waits, he decided to recreate Blood Gulch and live out his life there with the "memories" of the Blue and Red teams. This might be where the later seasons come from. Also in the real world Washington joins the Blues and both teams get their bases back, so it may be there too. It may even alternate between the two, who knows.

Was at the panel, I would have to say that it was an awesome ending to Tex's and Church's story together.

I don't know why I haven't been watching. Just watched ep 19 and it was amazing. I heard Monty Oum is doing the animations for them. This is amazing.

I'll be looking forward to seeing RvB set in Halo Reach. Whoot

So... I think the obvious direction that Red vs Blue is going in is
Epsilon will be in Washington's head... and use Grif's equipment... possibly only the speed unit... to defeat the meta.
Now what will Epsilon do while in Wash's head is a question for a "surprise"... unless they're expecting the reds and blues attacking the Meta and Washington coming to the rescue with Epsilon is the surprise... maybe something to do with the Director... who knows.

Saw the last episode -- and I got to say -- I was wrong.
And I'm not sure if I can comment any further on it than that.

Well, that was an interesting ending. I was hoping for a bit more resolution though. I wonder if or when they'll bring Donut back, since he's not actually dead.

Interesting parallel to reach... :P

That was...oddly cute. I liked it a lot. Looking forward to see what happens with their Reach saga.

Pretty sure they'll follow Church and also the Reds and Blues outside his little simulation world. I hope they do anyway. Does anyone know what color they use for Church in Halo: Reach?
