ODST Zbrush Character Model Turntable WIP 3
Brighton's back with another iteration of his ZBrush ODST WIP - new shaders, mostly. Go see how it looks! (Louis Wu 18:29:04 UTC) (permalink)
Video Roundup from B.net
New vids at Bungie.net today:
- IGN stepped through the Reach Multiplayer release, frame by frame, and let you know what they found. (Folks did this on our forum, as well - one's here, another one's here - but they're text only, no video.)
- Kinetic is a jump video from Mooseman93 - bouncy bouncy
- Gamble posted a Halo 2 minitage - it's supposed to be a remembrance of the wonders of Halo 2, but really, it's just Lockout.
Go watch! (Louis Wu 18:25:56 UTC) (permalink)
Another Route into the Reach Beta
This is really interesting - I received an email this morning that (I assume) went out to all subscribers to the original Xbox LIVE service (or maybe to folks who'd played Halo 2 online, or maybe just to people who used an original Xbox online). Microsoft is offering some goodies for folks who will be losing their access via the original Xbox - a 3-month LIVE Gold membership, 400 MS points, and (what might be MOST interesting) a code to participate in the Reach Beta. For folks who passed on Halo 3: ODST, this might be the best way to get into the Beta - though it doesn't seem like something you can finagle after the fact. If you think you should be eligible, but didn't get this email, check your junk folder. (Louis Wu 16:09:12 UTC) (permalink)
You got your Fable in my Halo!
Kaboris stopped in from deepest Japan (okay, Nagoya) with a tidbit from a recent issue of Famitsu Xbox that I haven't seen yet in Western media. His translation:
"In Reach, the chemistry (or lack thereof) plays a role in how the members in Noble Team interact with each other. If a character harbors a disliking towards one of the characters he/she might not back that person up in combat." (laughs)
(This was an interview with Marcus Lehto.) So the question is... are we talking about built-in chemistry (how Kat gets along with Jorge, for example), or is this something that affects US (as in, if we make Kat angry, she leaves us to die when ambushed)? Either way, it's a new concept for Halo titles, and should be fun to see how it plays out! (Louis Wu 16:08:18 UTC) (permalink)
