I found this article in the latest GI magazine that I thought was fairly interesting. This is it:
Microsoft Cancells Halo Reveal.....And your not gonna believe what the excuse is.
Who wouldn't want to see the new Bungie developed Halo title? Not you, we guess. Even though the studio had created a trailer for microsoft's E3 conference-something that no doubt would have been cool to see-the publisher pulled the plug on the big reveal. Bungies own website had a timer counting down to July 16, 7:07 am. The confluence of the number seven had everybody believing the studios anouncement was halo related.
"For the last several months, we've been building towards a reveal of something exciting that bungie is working on," says a statement from Harold Ryan president of the Bungie website. "We were looking forward to sharing that with our fan community during the week of E3. However, those plans were just changed by our publisher.
At E3, Don Mattrick, Senior Vice President of Microsofts interactive entertainment division, told Los Angelas Times that microsoft pulled the plug on the announcement because the press conference was already running long, and the company wanted to get it down to under 90 minutes. But instead of cutting avatars, Duffy, or Primetimes's game shows, Bungie got the axe. According to Mattrik, however, Microsoft plans to dedicate an entire event to the Unkown Game in the near future.
Interesting huh....I want to know what game it is. I have my theories....
I know they said halo 3 was the end of the "Halo" story but if any of you remember the end of Halo3 with the marathon symbol on the planet...see where I'm getting at here? Maybe halo was just leading up to an awesome story where the MasterChief wears his Mark 7 armour in Marathon. The only thing about this is that the Marathon series was said to take place in the same universe but years after Halo. Could Bungie be redoing the History of Marathon. I dont know but thats just what i think this whole article might be about. What do you think?
