Forums - Microsoft - Bungie boss "laughed" when MS pulled Halo from E3 briefing

DKII on 23 July 2008

Well this kind of thing just shows how unimportant E3 really is these days, if they're saving something like this for another show.

Microsoft won E3 in the majority of gaming circles. I think they were confiedent of their show and their big surprise and decided to utilize the Bungie/Halo unveiling for a future show where they may not have such a big "WOW!" moment at the end. It's simply spreading the wealth. A new Halo would have gotten swallowed by the FF XIII announcement.

I thought master chief died? How can this series continue!

The Halo universe has more than just the Master Chief (although he has an integral role in the series so far). Look at Halo Wars for example. There is no Master Chief in sight. In fact, it is set in a time frame before the Master Chief was even around if I am not mistaken.

 



Just kiss the tip.

Microsoft press conference was pretty bad (except for FFXIII). It's just that their competitor's sucked much much more.

The only bad conference was Nintendos unfortunately. Microsofts was great due to the lineup of upcoming games and the surprise ending, and Sonys was just well put together and presented.

You must have been expecing something really crazy if you thought either MS or Sony conferences were that bad.

 



Just kiss the tip.

Finish the Fight! Again! Again! Again?

 

I'm hoping they pulled the Halo announcement because they were going to make it a MMOFPS... with support for 256... wait no... 360 players!  lol.

Bungie boss "laughed" when MS pulled Halo from E3 briefing - Mattrick
News by Tom Bramwell

Today 12:09

Don Mattrick has denied that Bungie was angry about Microsoft's decision to pull the developer's new Halo game from the Xbox 360 E3 press conference.

"Sure they're disappointed. Any software creator would be disappointed," Mattrick, boss of the Xbox 360 business, told Eurogamer at E3 for an exclusive interview set to run later this week.

"Harold [Ryan, Bungie president] just laughed and he said, 'Boy, just a sign of growth inside the business, we agree'."

Last week Ryan wrote on Bungie's website that the team was disappointed by Microsoft's last-minute decision not to unveil the game.

Pressed on the decision to pull the new Halo title from the E3 briefing, Mattrick said: "We didn't feel we needed to show Halo to have a great show, to pay homage to our core audience, to have a lot of news, so it was an embarrassment of riches and we couldn't fit it in. How great is that? I think that's awesome."

Microsoft will host an event "another time of the year that'll go deep on Halo", Mattrick explained.

"So that's what we're going to do and I think we're smart. I had so many people come to me and say 'look at that, that's a measure of growth and maturity of Microsoft - the fact that you have the best show, the best collection of products and you didn't even have to show Halo'."

Mattrick wouldn't be drawn on the contents of the game itself, but said there's "an ongoing work-stream with Bungie and others" on "all kinds of new things in development".

"It's awesome, it's highly anticipated, it's friggin' Halo! People love it, right? I can't say a lot about it.

"We're going to create an opportunity where people can interact with it, we think it's going to be super high quality, super fun, super innovative; it's the easiest thing for us to message, so stay tuned. There's lots of good news on that."

Look out for our full Don Mattrick interview tomorrow.

 How do you know?  Because you hate MS with a passion right?

OT: The Bungie prez may not have been too happy with the decision but I think in the end it will serve them better. Big name franchises like Halo, Metal Gear Solid, and Zelda deserve better than a lackluster E3.
