[image:7244 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Well, after nearly five years in existence, most of the last 2 with only myself at the helm, Rampancy is finding it impossible to keep up with Louis Wu at HBO. As said in one HBO forum thread, inspired by Rams' column over at BGH points out, there's really no point in having any Halo fansites besides HBO anyway.
Xbox365 is reporting that UbiSoft has fixed the Optimatch crash bug when playing Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow on Xbox Live.
We know this isn't Halo news, per se, but since we mentioned the bug when it occurred, as something of interest to Xbox owners and XBL subscribers in general, we felt it only fair to mention when the problem was resolved.
Move along, nothing to see here...
This week seems to have been rife with notices of Xbox titles either cancelled or developers going looking for new publishers after Microsoft nixed their deals. Is something going on?
TeamXbox has an interview with XNA developer Scott Henson at Microsoft about what exactly XNA is going to do for the average gamer. One scenario he imagines is where users on Windows PCs play one kind of role in the same game as console players fulfilling a different role:
Another story on CVG today quotes Peter Moore of Microsoft as saying the Japanese gaming market is "flattening out and declining" and says that, of course, Microsoft has the solution: "They have no choice because they can't survive on Mahjong games shipping for 100,000 people anymore - they have the same issues that we're resolving with XNA now: they need to develop large-scale global games to stay in business."
CVG is running an article quoting XNA architect J Allard on the issue of what to do about complaints about the positioning of the white and black buttons on the Xbox controller. Readers may remember earlier mentions of this; the buttons are on the upper right on the standard controller, and on the lower right on an S controller. Earlier comments suggesting the buttons might be eliminated altogether. Halo uses them for switching grenade types and toggling the Master Chief's headlamp.
Wraith has produced a mod for Halo PC that you can get at HaloMods that allows you to use the Fuel Rod Gun the SpecOps Grunts use in the level Two Betrayals. He wants his gold star.
Andreas "BOLL" Aronsson has written an academic paper analyzing Halo according to a theory of Game Design Patterns put forth by Swedish scientists Staffan Björk, Sus Lundgren and Jussi Holopainen. Louis Wu has put it up in HBO's miscellaneous section.
PC Pro has an article paraphrasing Chief Xbox officer Robbie Bach as saying he believes the Xbox 2 can beat out Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3, possibly even in the Japanese market.
TURBO in the #HBO IRC channel pointed out the new Halo Editing Kit screenshot over at Cortana.org. It appears to be showing what we can only assume is shot of a Halo level being edited in 3ds Max.
