Re: I didn't bother reading the Weekly Update

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

: I think when a lot of people came into the community after discovering Halo,
: they learned of Bungie's connection with the community, but misinterpreted
: it. People have become so used to media extraveganza's, information
: blowouts, and gigantic hype engines that Bungie's relative silence at the
: beginning of development on a new title is a completely foreign concept to
: them. It's really not new, though.

It's a matter of degree, though. The "quiet period" after Halo 2 is now nearly twice as long as the one after Halo 1.

Also there's the issue of expectations. I think if Bungie had done another game after Halo 1 and left doing Halo 2 until later, it'd have seemed fairly reasonable. Halo 1 reached a logical conclusion as a story. That story left open the possibility of sequels. But Halo 2's ending practically screams for one.

: If you don't like the Weekly Update, here's a suggestion: Don't read it. The
: majority of the complaints I'm hearing really seem to boil down to
: impatience amongst the people that have no actual interest in anything
: other than the next game. So, let me give it all to you straight: We will
: not talk about development until we're ready to talk about development.
: Period. If development is all you're interested in; the current Weekly
: What's Updates are not for you. Feel free to browse the rest of the
: internet. When we do talk about our upcoming project, someone will be sure
: to tell one of the sites you frequent, and you'll be sure to find out.

Don't lump them all together, Shishka. Some of us are legitimately interested in the next game, but also plenty interested in what goes on at Bungie on a day-to-day basis. We're still plenty happy to read tidbits in weekly updates, but we're also impatient to at least hear two words about what is coming next :)
