Halo SETI Team 14 day stats posted
Due to an infusion of new blood, the Halo SETI Marines have closed the gap with the TidBITS team to just over 500 units again. At this rate, they'll pass them up by early October. The bad news is, the Austrian SETI Club has stepped up and passed the Marines! Can these new crunchers make a difference? Brain Towne takes La Crunch Honneur with an average of 13 units/day, and sam and Levi both jump over 52 competitors to tie for the Frogblast award... can the team keep up the steam? Only time will tell! Gory details can be found on the 14 day stats page. (Louis Wu 14:22:26 UTC) (permalink)
Xbox outside liason says no keyboard
More contradictions to the Daily Radar UK bit last week: xbox.ign.com interviewed Kevin Bacchus, Director of Third Party Relations, about how he sees outside publishers fitting into the Xbox scene. One unhappy thought:
"For some publishers though, there's a conversation we need to have about how you make use of a system that has no mouse and has no keyboard, and that really is designed as a platform for very intense, action-oriented games. "
Halo with no keyboard will NOT be the same game as Halo with a keyboard. And if the console version is built around a no-keyboard scenario, what sort of time will be added to the PC/Mac port by the need to rework the control mechanism (and indeed the gameplay)? Read the whole interview here. (Louis Wu 03:50:14 UTC) (permalink)
