Simultaneous release news a bit off
Okay, we goofed. Turns out the bit about Halo being released simultaneously on the Mac and the Xbox is somewhat old (and since superceded)... apparently, it was posted to a Mac gaming site in August, and 8/10/2000 was interpreted (understandably) by a European as October 8, not August 10. The eNewsletter in question had this to say, back in August:
During the keynote address [at MWNY], Steve Jobs welcomed Ed Fries onto the Macworld stage. Vice President of Games for Microsoft, Fries reassured the audience. Yes, Microsoft certainly will release Halo for the Mac. In fact, it will be released for the Mac at the same time it is released for the X-Box, Microsoft's new videogame console.
This has since been, um... corrected by Matt Soell as overenthusiastic reporting by Apple. Sorry to get everyone's dander up. (Louis Wu 23:18:52 UTC) (permalink)
Mac and Xbox versions simultaneous?
Wow! Kudos to Harry Al-Shakarchi, who noticed that the latest Apple monthly newsletter reminds readers that the Mac version of Halo will be out at the same time as the XBox version. ('Reminds us'? Seems to me we never KNEW that in the first place!) This came from Microsoft's Vice President of Games. Corroboration as soon as we get it... (Louis Wu 13:47:47 UTC) (permalink)
BGH goes black
They're doing it again... the king of the Halo Makeovers, Battleground: Halo, has switched looks again. There's nothing there yet (again), but the blue and white has given way to black and orange. Just in time for Halloween... (Louis Wu 00:30:31 UTC) (permalink)
