Halo 3 and the Second Wave of 360 Games

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the don't-get-too-excited dept.

conq writes "BusinessWeek has an interview with Microsoft Game Studios' Shane Kim in which he discusses the second wave of Xbox 360 games. When asked if Halo 3 is coming out this year, the answer was: 'It depends. If it's the game that everyone is expecting then, yes. For us it's about making a proper impact on the platform. It has to be something with huge significance, so we won't be rushed.'" If you know what that means, I would like to offer you a cookie, because I sure as heck don't.

    That they're lazy at Microsoft and they want to take their time making the game. They'll rely on namesake for the game to be successful, and the fact that "Oh they worked on it for a long time it must be good!" Or they're going to take their time and not make stupid mistakes. It's Microsoft, I'll take #1 as the reason.

  2. Halo, now even more boring than ever by Tweekster · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I honestly dont understand how people can play that game for hours on end, it is ridicoulsly boring Not trolling, but I honestly think that it is so popular only because it seems to be the "best" on the original xbox

    It means they don't want to release tripe, so they will wait until the feel satisfied that it is the killer game which locks the masses into the 360 platform rather than the PS3.

    And just like in the Hollywood movie industry where dollars direct creativity to ensure "the best product", the likely outcome is shit.
