Real-Life Halo Armor Creators Quizzed

Posted by simoniker on from the shiny-faux-bulletproof-baubles dept.

Thanks to Bungie.net for their interview with the creators of a painstakingly-crafted real-life reproduction of Master Chief's Mjolnir armor, as originally seen in Bungie's noted FPS Halo. The interview comes with exclusive pictures, and the official Nightmare Armor site also has pictures from their previous armor reproduction project, the Deepeyes armor from Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. The armor creators discuss the "good amount of time and devotion [it takes] to complete an entire armor costume", but the guys at Bungie conclude the article with a bang: "After seeing the kind of passion and dedication that the guys at Nightmare Armor had put into the Halo armor project, we were too embarrassed to tell them that in Halo 2, Master Chief's costume will be made of dyed mink fur."

    I think people are lavishing praise all over Halo because they feel that it somehow justifies their purchase of an Xbox. Up until Halo, no one ever said I should get an Xbox to play any specific game. After Halo, everyone said Xbox was great because it had Halo.

    I'm not saying this is the only reason, but I wouldn't be surprised if it contributed a bit to this revolution of hype (oops, I meant "first person shooters").

    Not trying to flame, this is just my perception. I don't own an Xbox and I've only played Halo multiplayer.
