In Response To: Re: why WOULDN'T Halo 2 xbox be bungie's next proj (Louis Wu)
: I don't think ANYONE is suggesting that Halo 2 wouldn't be a money maker (it
: would be), or that Bungie has categorically denied that they'll make it
: (they haven't). My original comment in this thread was directly aimed at
: the "which is already being worked on" comment in the PC Zone
: article. I would be surprised to find that this is true.
Heh makes you wonder if it's going to an outside house for the PC/Mac development, or if a seperate team is working on the PC/Mac version. I mean let's assume for a minute that they are working on Halo 2 if they are looking at a really quick turn around they may not feel the need to add a bunch of new code to improve graphics, thereby allowing art resources to be created for it right now, while the Halo programming team is working on the PC version. Of course there is the possibility that Pheonix's graphics improvements are already included in the engine allowing for improved graphics and still freeing the programmers to work on the PC version. In addition there is a huge amount of story to work out along with mission planning. It seems to me that there is no reason why they couldn't be working concurrently on a sequel and the PC version and still have the Pheonix and former Oni team work on their own things. I mean you've finished the game, there is a sequel and I have little doubt some of it has already been laid out.
