New Beginnings - Again
In the madness of yesterday, I'm afraid the newest film out of Bungie, 'New Beginnings', might have been overlooked, so I'm reminding you. It's accessible in the latest Weekly Update, in downloadable and streaming formats, and it's really, really worth the 6 minutes of your time. If you're sort of new to the Halo franchise, you might not even know who Jason Jones is - he's been out of the limelight for many years now. But his vision, and his ability to inspire greatness in the people around him, are some of the things that makes Bungie the unique studio that it is - and this video shows that his drive, what keeps him going every day, hasn't really changed in YEARS. He (still) wants to make games you want to play. And the studio he founded attracts people who want the same thing. This video is about BUNGIE - it's not about any one game (no games are even mentioned), it's not about their publishers (past or present - again, no names at all) - it's about the team. Who they are, what they do, and how they're gonna keep doing it. In the wake of fears that Activision will "run Bungie into the ground", and that Bungie has sold out (again), this video makes it clear that Bungie is who Bungie has ALWAYS been - a game company good enough to inspire a fan community that simply won't go away. Here's to the next 10 years! Go watch. (Louis Wu 15:43:38 UTC)
