Serious details from a Sili guy
And more - SiliconDream weighs in with a pretty nice roundup, posted to the R.net forum here. (Where are all the b.org reports, that's what I wanna know?) Separate pistols for the player and the standard Marine, visual character variations between unit classes, evasive dives and rolls as part of the engine AI... and a playable build the next time we see it (maybe at E3). Wow. (Louis Wu 14:34:43 UTC) (permalink)
First pics up at R.net
Woohoo! Cunbelin has sent R.net a whole passel of images from the fest... including 5 of those "exclusive" Halo shots! (Yeah, they're the old engine... but hey, it's the only engine we know!) Plus a tidbit of artwork that um... is PROBABLY Halo-related... Uh, oh, I'm drooling again.
Update:Harry Al-Shakarchi clarifies that that image was Bungie's Halo Christmas card, drawn by Shikai Wang. Thanks, Harry! (Louis Wu 11:27:21 UTC) (permalink)
First fanfest reports come in
Thanks to Appleicious, who posted a Fanfest report to our forum. Halo details included:
- In [the] keynote, we got to see about ten exclusivescreenshots from the "old" Halo engine (exclusive = never before seen).
- the Halo multiplayer design doc is almost finished and work on the network code will begin in February.
There's lots more, so read the whole thing for yourselves! Also, codetoad posted another report over at R.net, with these tantalizing tidbits:
- there's 3 weapons finalized in halo
- there will be a "halo invasion of the media" (due to MS money) very soon, and we won't have to worry about getting info on halo, because it will be ALL AROUND us. (Could this mean perhaps there is truth to the superbowl wild rumor? :-P)
Again, there is much more to that report, as well. As mentioned in both, Phoenix was officially announced... though there isn't much info about it yet, and won't be for a while. Ack. Why are you reading this? Go read those reports! (Louis Wu 11:09:28 UTC) (permalink)
How I wish...
... And the fanfest is under way. No, we don't have any information about it right now... I just thought I'd wish all the lucky festers the best, and remind anyone who HAPPENS to be in San Francisco this evening but DIDN'T know about the Fanfest to stop by the West Bay Conference Center between now and 9 pm PST! Have a blast, folks. (Louis Wu 02:03:39 UTC) (permalink)
