A Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On
Bungie.net has seen a flurry of updates in the past few days. Here's a quick rundown:
- Frankie tells you which maps are coming and when.
- SketchFactor notes that the Halo 2 Autoupdate is now available, and warns users that attempting certain cheats can get you banned! He also points out new, high-resolution images of some of Halo 2's new maps, four of which are set for release on April 25; two for free, two for $5.99. We've created a special Maptacular Monday gallery for them inside our Halo 2 gallery.
- Achronos points out that Bungie.net maintenance is done and explains some of the anomolous behavior some users have noted, including inappropriate forum bans.
- Stosh links to GotFrag's interview with Victor "Sic Vic" Deleon and his Halo 2 wunderkind son, Victor "Lil Poison" Deleon III.
Soell Interview Helps Flesh Out 'Stubbs'
Over at IGN's RPGVault, Richard "Jonric" Aihoshi got a chance to interview writer Matt Soell of Wideload Games about the studio's expected fall release, Stubbs the Zombie in "Rebel Without a Pulse". One thing touched on that hasn't been mentioned before is that Michael Salvatori of Total Audio will be contributing:
Music and sound is a huge part of any good game; ask anyone who's played Halo. In Stubbs, the audio takes on added importance because it's another tool we can use to make people laugh. There will be plenty of custom music courtesy of Mike Salvatori, who was responsible - along with Marty O'Donnell and the rest of Bungie's audio team - for the sounds and music in the Halo and Myth games.
The article also touches on the project's technical foundation, the Halo engine. Wideload is extending the engine in many areas, adding more AI states and normal mapping. New screenshots of Stubbs in action have recently been added to our Stubbs the Zombie gallery.
Stubbs is expected for a Fall 2005 release for the Xbox, Mac and PC platforms.
Halo 2 Xbox Live Update Released
The update itself doesn't seem to be quite large at all, and as of this writing, it has become available even at my undisclosed location. After successfully downloading the update, you'll see the number "1.1" in the lower right-hand corner of Halo 2's main menu screen. This disappears once you login to Live and reappears when you logout.
Lorne Lanning Is Ready For His Closeup
Oddword creator Lorne Lanning is quitting the videogame business to move into CG television and film production because he says the gaming industry's economics just aren't conducive to creativity; his description of the biz reads like a justification for the Hollywood business model adopted by Alex "The Man" Seropian's Wideload Games, due to release Stubbs the Zombie in 'Rebel Without a Pulse" for Xbox, PC and Mac later this year.
Xbox Is Turning Japanese... They Really Think So
Roppongi Hills-- a noted gaijin hangout in Tokyo-- will host an Xbox 2 press event next month, prior to E3, according to Computer and Video Games. The invite-only event on May 13 will feature a viewing of the MTV broadcast scheduled for that date. Thanks BDGamer.
Discretion: The Better Part Of Valor
The Art of Controller Tossing, the latest Making of a Spartan article by Furiont at Tabula Rasa, touches on the value of knowing when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em, when to walk away, and when to run, vis a vis lowering the number of times you die in a Halo 2 match.
