Re: Bungie "has to" release more info!
Posted By: gspawnDate: 3/11/06 10:21 a.m.

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

: This is usual Bungie however. I'm sick of reading nothing concrete. All the
: generalizations and secrets. pfft. We can't even get a date for the Halo 2
: soundtrack, a game that came out almost a year and a half ago. jeez.

You know what's next, don't you? Oh c'mon! Dont' be shy... you know what I mean... lines ranging in the vein:

-Bungie's only not talking because...
(followed by a formulation of "they know they suck").

-The "fans" have "waited long enough".
(from people who were whining from the start)

-Bungie HAS TO speak about their next project soon.
(follow with "or else" and "M$ sucks" or "I'm getting a PS3")

Yup. The people who DEMAND that Bungie give THEM info, because THEY deserve to know. And with e3 around the corner, those people are already chomping at the bit, waiting for a sign telling them it's time to start trolling the internet. It'll probably be some sort of EGM/IGN/etc article talking cautiously about e3.

I'll even summarize that article for you now! The article was actually written in early 2005, and was last edited to replace "Next Box" with "Xbox 360" when the name was announced. It may even be updated again to add some recent names (Oblivion) for credibility. It goes something like:

Text: "Although PS3 hasn't made a big splash yet..."
Subtext: [Because 360 hasn't forced it to]

Text: "It's certain this e3 will be Sony's time to shine."
Subtext: ["Best Game" award going to Sony, no matter what]

Text: "There's going to be so much shown at this year's e3..."
Subtext: [We might even actually go to a few non-Sony booths]

Text: "...that it's going to be hard to keep track of it all."
Subtext: [Some of 360's and Revolution's biggest announcements will be lost in the melee, and will appear as footnotes a week later, under "other" things happening at e3]

Text: "It's been a quiet year thus far..."
Subtext: [Because the 360 hasn't made any noise]

Text: "...so we can't wait to see what happens!"
Subtext: [Revolution will win whatever oddball "best concept" categories we have laying around no matter what they show, because we have to toss SOMETHING their way]

Or something like that, anyway. Then you'll see the people coming in, claiming it's a proven fact that PS3 will blow 360 away unless Bungie makes their big announcement, in which case they'll just mercilessly make fun of Bungie's announcement.

That's the interweb for ya. And yes, I am pee-sy-kik.
