xbox365 says Xbox specs still increasing
Well, the Xbox is proving to be one of the largest rumor generators since Mata Hari. xbox365 is reporting that the 8 gig drive is being swapped out in favor of a 40 gig drive, so that the Xbox can act as a recordable VCR, like TiVo or Replay TV. Even Slashdot has picked up on this story (although they bring a healthy dose of cynicism to the table). Thanks to Noctavis for the heads-up on this one. (Louis Wu 14:35:36 UTC) (permalink)
Turbine hires former Fantasy Siege designer
Turbine Entertainment Software, "the technology-leading developer of massively multiplayer Internet-based persistent virtual worlds for PCs and videogame consoles," put out a press release on August 17 announcing that they'd hired David Bowman, formerly of Bungie Software, "where he designed for their hit series Myth and Fantasy Siege, the forthcoming hit based on Bungie’s Halo engine." For some strange reason, news of that press release is just making the rounds today... VoodooExtreme has some pretty wild speculation based on the release, but you can make your own guesses. Thanks to R.net and BHG for noticing this. (Louis Wu 02:51:18 UTC) (permalink)
Halo HQ closes its doors
Another old name hangs up his hat: Stryker writes to say that Halo HQ is closing down, due to "time contraints and lack of Halo-related information." (There's a full resignation letter at Halo HQ, but unfortunately, that's unreachable from here at the moment.) That's two of the oldest Halo sites gone, in one day! Ouch.
