In Response To: Do I get a sense of distain from a bit of it? (GrimBrother One) : Especially interesting when coupled with the comments from Ryan about Halo : Wars in the recent Seattle article... : From the HW dev blog: "First thing we always do is start gathering as : much reference material as we can find; downloading screenshots from the : internet, getting marketing material from Microsoft, and the most obvious : one, asking Bungie for all their art files. That last one seems like a no : brainer right? After all we are both part of Microsoft and they own : everything, right? Nope. As it turns out it’s really hard to get in : contact with someone at another studio to provide assistance, when that : company was behind schedule on their latest installment of Halo AND we had : no idea about the negotiations they were having with Microsoft about : becoming an independent studio again. It didn’t take long to realize that : our concept department would be on their own in figuring out this art : style" Oh, so that's why the Covenant are all purple... hehe... Seriously though, wouldn't the concept department have been doing that job long before Bungie split from Microsoft? I remember years ago in an update Frankie talking about the Ensemble guys bringing over prototypes and having a blast with it... You would think if they were releasing trailers for the game in 2006 that a lot of the concepts would have been done before that, right?
