1Up Yours - Halo 3 Speculation from GDC
The 1Up Yours podcast is being recorded this week at the Game Developers Conference... and the most recent podcast (dated 3/8) has a small teaser related to Halo 3. Apparently, they were discussing how many titles are being released this fall, and how rough that's going to be on Joe Average Gamer (who's got $300 to spend on games in a 3-week period, anyway?), and Shane Kim, Corporate VP of MGS, talked a little about Halo 3's ship date (or lack thereof):
Shane pointed out that if Bungie was ready to go, they'll ship it when Bungie said - when it's done, when it's as good as Bungie wants to make it, they'll ship it. And he said, "If that's in September, then that's when we're going to ship it." Then he quickly backed off and said "well if it's next week, then we'll ship it next week."
There's quite a bit more discussion about Halo 3, and the anticipation that's built up for it - but this tidbit might be interesting to fans. (Please - do NOT take this as indication that a ship date of September has been set. It hasn't. What's interesting here is the flexibility Kim alludes to; unlike Halo, which HAD to be done by the time the Xbox was released, and Halo 2, with a ship date tattooed on Peter Moore's arm, Kim suggests that Bungie's got some leeway here, and (yes, they've said this before) it won't ship until it's finished.)
