Re: I didn't bother reading the Weekly Update
Posted By: ShishkaDate: 3/13/06 2:31 p.m.

In Response To: Re: I didn't bother reading the Weekly Update (Ducain)

: Allow me to link you guys to a thread I started some time back where we
: discussed exactly the same thing:
: http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive22.pl?read=654171

: I'm kinda surprised this has surfaced again really.

: Here's a quick little question for Shishka and Frankie though...

: (I'm paraphrasing both of them here)

: Shishka: "We'll tell you something when we're good and ready. If you
: don't like it, suck it!" (As I said, paraphrasing, but not much off
: the mark I don't think.)

: Frankie: "Sorry, but we just can't tell you anything. When we can, we
: will."

: Now, I have to admit that this confuses me. Which is it? You guys don't want
: to say anything, and so you're not, or you can't , and so you're not?

: The end result is the same, but knowing why is important to fans like me. If
: you guys could let us know what you're working on (even with zero
: details), and you simply choose not to do so, I admit that would sting a
: little more than if you were not allowed to do so because of an agreement
: or somesuch.

: At the end of the day, kings and kingdoms don't rise and fall based on what a
: game company does. Going further, yes you guys can and will do exactly
: what you want, regardless of how any of us feel. However, repeatedly
: telling us that you can and will...doesn't help, at least as far as I can
: see.

: Cheers dudemen.

: JH

It's pretty much the same thing. What I've been trying to say is that we'll show things when we feel we're ready. At this time, we're not. We'd love to talk about what's going on over here, but talking too soon is a bad idea. As such, we can't really say anything, yet.

Keep in mind the regard people have for everything we say. I can't even really provide you an illustrated example, really, because people would take it and manipulate it into "information about the next project," even if I were to add "THIS IS HYPOTHETICAL" above and below my example, in size 77 blinking red text. You get the idea. That's one of several reasons why we feel we can't say anything yet.

Frankie's mentioning of getting to see cool things shouldn't be interpreted (entirely) as the dangling of information in front of a hungry public. Rather, it should be understood that Frankie is so excited about this stuff that he feels like he's going to explode, but that now is just not the time.
