Halo showcased at wm.com
Thanks to Harry Al-Shakarchi, who noted that Halo has a good showing on the official WindowsMedia.com Media Guide - it's number 2 in the showcase (after WWF, of all things), and in the top position just to the left of that list (in both low and high-bandwidth versions). In fact - it's the only game in both sections! Not bad... (Louis Wu 20:48:53 UTC) (permalink)
Xbox = more bucks for Europeans
As reported by every Xbox site under the sun, the news out of Cannes yesterday was that the European Xbox release will be on March 14, 2002, and it will retail for 479 euros (about $435, at today's rates). Games will run 69 euros (about $63). Ouch! (Louis Wu 14:23:17 UTC) (permalink)
Look out, Bob!
Bob's in trouble... go read Chapter 13 of the Hermes Trismegistus saga in our Fan Fiction section. Don't forget to let Tursas know what you think! (Louis Wu 02:25:12 UTC) (permalink)
No day-to-night shifts
Bounty, of Battleground: Halo, learned a bit about diurnal transitions in Halo from Matt Soell today - apparently, there won't be any situations where you can see the change. Hmm... guess that means that sunset scene mentioned in Xboxweb's preview is gonna be pretty short... Swing by BGH to read the full quote. (Louis Wu 02:12:14 UTC) (permalink)
Time to question Marty
Got a burning question to ask Marty O'Donnell? Stop by TeamXbox's forums and add it to this thread - apparently, the webmaster of Score Central will be conducting that interview next week, and is happy to pass along fan questions. Just remember... don't ask Marty how old he is. (Louis Wu 00:37:16 UTC) (permalink)
Bigger != better
An interesting little elucidation about level design, from Bungie's Tyson Green, aka Ferrex (Dead). Bigger levels are better, right? Not always... sometimes, spending more of your finite development resources on making smaller levels cooler is more advantageous than creating huge, boring levels. Nice insight! Check the details (and throw in your own two cents) on our forum. (Louis Wu 00:31:28 UTC) (permalink)
