| Move up a second.... | |

In Response To: Back up a second... (Hawaiian Pig) I am a bit surprised by your responses Pig. 1st, you have been on this scene for quite some time. You have ripped apart Halo PC, know the story inside and out, and most importantly know that it's all an illusion. It doesn't matter if the game is called "Malo", if it's what your into then great, if not, another killer app is right behind that one. Calling a game "Halo Wars" and slapping it on an RTS doesn't mean you a) have to like RTS' or b) even play the game at all. Will the story suck? Probably. Hell, your right, its an RTS. Will the game be uber-innovative? I guess it depends on how involved Bungie gets, how strict MS is on the time line to produce the game, and how talented the folks Ensemble have working on the title are. Does this spread the Halo IP to other gamers? Most definitely. Look, everyone does not love FPS games. Your not an idiot, you know that. I say take this really cool IP and spread it out across many thing like Bungie has done. Graphic Novels, Books, FPS style games, and now RTS-style games. The overall majority of what they have produced (in-house and out of studio) has been solid stuff. Has it been perfect? Fuck no. But it's been solid. What Bungie needs to be careful of is the RISK factor. Spread your ass too thin and you start producing shit. Their weakness has certainly been on the "out-of-house" side of things and they need to do all they can to strengthen those partnerships, contracts, and methodologies to ensure what they consider to be a quality product is produced by those partners. Just my two pennies being rubbed together. :) Gary | |
