Halo 3 and the Second Wave of 360 Games

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.

It sounds like the clue train is coming in:

Last stop is you, Mister story-poster.

Alright, it sounds like he's saying that he "cares" about the "quality" of the "product".

This might be because he has a "reputation" and he doesn't want to "ruin it".

Any questions?

But you're forgetting he "works" for "Microsoft".

He has a "job" and doesn't want to "lose it".

Therefore he'll release it when he's told to.

Lets run it through babelfish a couple times...

I ran the quote through the "Lost in translation" babelfish mangler (http://www.tashian.com/multibabel/) to see if it could offer an clues. It went from this:

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.

... to this ...

It depends. If it is the game, of that one then examines everything. For us he we are extreme giving who we formed to a U.S.ABLE effect in the platform. You must be something with enormous solidity, therefore we who you are not fallen.

Yeah, it makes about the same amount of sense. The last sentence seems to have a deep philosophy to it.

...maybe because the other titles in the library are crap?

When it's done ...

[rlp]

It means that it's coming out some time before Duke Nukem Forever ships.

Thanks for the cookie.

Thanks for the cookies.

Better idea

[BBobberson]

A few of the comments on here have been saying that the game will come out on the same day as the PS3. Wouldn't it be smarter, maybe, to release it the day before? Then, everyone will have just bought a game, so they won't see the point of buying a whole new console have this new game here to play. This will cause less initial sales, and after the hype has died down, many of the people who would have bought the PS3 the first day will have decided not to in favor of something else. Just an idea.

By the way, who are we supposed to hate more here, Microsoft or Sony?

Midway through the game, Master Chef tears off his battle armor and...it's really Duke Nukem in disguise! But wait. What happens to the little orcish imps and the other baddies, then? Where will all the hot chicks in minimalistic clothing come from?
