Screen caps from GS TGS movie
For those having trouble getting through to Gamespot's servers, or simply on lower-bandwidth connections, we've put together a screen capture page, showing some of the more interesting features of the movie. You can check it out here. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 19:51:52 UTC) (permalink)
New Halo movie at Gamespot
Thanks to vein13, who pointed out a new movie at Gamespot. (It's the Halo Trailer 1 - Direct-Feed entry on their Media Index.) It seems to be an extended version of the IGN movie mentioned yesterday. It's available as a downloadable wmv file, a downloadable mpeg, or streamed .asf formats (in several speeds). It's 320x240, and just under a minute long... and it has some very nice footage. There are a couple of points brought up in this post, and this one... I'll probably be putting up a screen capture page in the near future. Check it out! (Louis Wu 18:20:33 UTC) (permalink)

DoA3 over Halo
Thanks to Harry Al-Shakarchi, who noticed an article over at IGN Xbox, on the Game of Show at TGS 2001. The winner was Dead or Alive 3... but the article asks:
You were thinking Halo, right? Unfortunately, in terms of what's being shown at TGS for the Xbox, the Halo demo is pretty conservative, especially considering some of the more epic outdoor environments they could have chosen for a show demo. Still suffering from some frame stutters, the game offers some incredible moments at the show, but not the guaranteed gaming promise of Dead or Alive.
Those pesky frame stutters... Thanks for the heads-up, Harry! (Louis Wu 14:38:05 UTC) (permalink)
Halo in Wired
Thanks to Noah "MigraineBoy" Brimhall, who pointed out that Halo got a couple of mentions in the November issue of Wired Magazine, during a story on Flextronics, the company that Microsoft outsourced the manufacturing of the Xbox to. (Eep - ending sentences with prepositions again...) I'd found it a pretty interesting article, but not all that Halo-related... but Noah noticed a quote I managed to miss:
So what about the games? Though the console pushes the envelope graphically, its first line of games isn't nearly as inventive. With the exception of Halo and Fusion Frenzy, most of the launch titles feel like souped-up versions of the games you know by other names.
(Fusion Frenzy has been mentioned the past as a game that has sucked up the spare time of Halo Dev Team members... Jaime Griesemer, in particular.) They also picked a Halo screen as a representative Xbox screen... nice exposure! (Louis Wu 14:32:53 UTC) (permalink)
Lots more wallpaper...
Once again, new screens means new desktop images. Three came in overnight - one from Sikora, two from Shaun Brookman. You'll find all three in our Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 14:27:08 UTC) (permalink)
