  2. Alas, Poor Xbox, We Knew It Well

Sat, 03/05/2005 - 00:57 by narcogen

[image:9096 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Only slightly more than three years have passed since the Xbox brought Microsoft into the console wars, and the next generation, if rumors are to be believed, will be upon us by the 2005 holiday season. Ahh.. Xbox. A console of infinite games... assuming they're all made by Bungie.

Here's a look at recent items about upcoming consoles, as well as goings-on in the Bungieverse:

  • Xbox might have a removable hard drive as an option that could double as a music player.
  • News.com put up a FAQ about the next-gen hardware.
  • DigiTimes interviewed Brian "SketchFactor" Jarrard, who admitted that Bungie "developed some games" before Halo, but "most of them were not successful." (Ouch! I seem to recall-- no pun intended-- the award-winning Myth and Marathon series, but nevermind--Ed.)
  • Blackstar notes the Hurt, Agony, Pain video he did with Arashi for HBO Lekgolos, lovingly hosted by Nof at Enraged Creations.
  • Start of a new mini-series at Halo Babies that explores Bungie's various penchants.
  • Frankie dishes some more details (but not too many) on what Bungie is doing to counter glitchers and cheaters. Looks like about a month (but maybe more) before solutions are forthcoming. (And don't forget MonkeyChief.
  • Bungie.net also has a new top story about the use of the Havok physics engine in Halo 2.
  • Bungie loses another Humpday Challenge, but this one is understandable: their opponent was the US Army.
  • MLG notes the Best Gamer on Campus competition.
