NYT Online looks at video game cinematics
Kudos to Jon Chang, who points out a Halo mention in a New York Times Online article on cinematics in video games. (You'll need to sign up for a (free) account to be able to see this.) The article discusses 'parallels between the movie market and the game market', and points to Halo as an example:
In Halo, a futuristic Earth-versus- Them shooter and strategy game scheduled for release early next year by Bungie, the computer-generated preview that sets up the game lasts for nine minutes.
An interesting read, overall... makes me drool for the work that Joe Staten and Marty O'Donnell are doing right now! (Louis Wu 18:26:46 UTC) (permalink)
Halo to accompany XBox release?
In a reply to a reader's letter at the MSXBox site it was reported that Halo might be one of the titles to accompany the Xbox launch. Here's the fullreply to the readers question:
The Xbox will hit the UK around the same time it is released to the rest of the world. No more reading about experiences of gamers from other countries who get systems earlier than the UK. While the launch list for games is not finalized, it seems the most likely games, according to early indications, that will accompany the Xbox launch are Halo, New Legends, Oddworld : Munch's Oddysee, and several Microsoft sports titles.
HBO spin: Halo may actually be bundled with XBox which makes sense since it's a Microsoft title. Also since you won't be able to play Halo without the Xbox hardwareit's certainly consumer friendly to throw in a few games as well. (Ding 11:53:58 UTC) (permalink)
