Be afraid... be very afraid

In Response To: Am I Paranoid or am I reading to much into Review? (Dreamcatcher) Someone else wants to take the Red pill... Previous post, 24.1.00: > ... I am beginning to think that the whole Halo phenomenon is a > Public Relations stunt solely to boost the profile of both Bungie > and Apple, reminiscent of Trip Hawkins and his 2nd generation 3DO > games console where all the promotional photos for advertising and > PR turned out to be of 3 empty plastic mock-ups. > Personally I think that Bungie have put together a brilliant > "trailer" but are maybe finding it difficult to produce a viable > game to the same standard, considering the amount of hype it's been > given and the level of expectation from everyone. > The excuse for Halo never getting finished will probably be that > the head programmer took the project home over the weekend to tweak > it, but "his dog ate it" and the backups were "left on the bus" > and were never recovered and the Project Manager couldn't attend > this press meeting because he's got "tummy ache" Now that they're being a little more honest about things the conversation may go along these lines: Dave Fin’: What’s going on with Halo now? I know there was a great demo in Macworld New York but I haven’t seen much about it here, where is that in development? Joe: “Well after macworld New York Jason and the rest of the guys on the team ripped the code apart.” Dave Fin’: Not your dog then? Now you guys are looking after this project aren’t you... not mislaying it... on the bus perhaps? Joe: “They're basically starting from scratch in a number of different areas.” Dave Fin’: Hmmmm... a novel approach? But I expect you’ll have a completed game or at least beta version for the next big exhibition. Joe: “A lot of times when we attend big pr things like macworld or E3 we put together a build that's for show” Dave Fin’: Hmmm... Joe... I’m going to see the Emperors new clothes later... fancy coming with? Joe: “Already seen ‘em... they’re Great!” Dave Fin' (get flaming you lot)
