  2. Macgamer Interviews Matt Soell At E3

Sun, 05/26/2002 - 01:35 by narcogen

Chris Barylick at Macgamer managed to nab an interview with Bungie's Matt Soell at E3, and covered a rather wide range of topics. Thanks again to Louis Wu at HBO.

On Bungie doing another Myth or Oni game:

There's no plan to do another Myth game right now, but it might happen in the future if we got the rights back. I haven't played Myth 3 since a lot of people ran out, bought it and have had problems with it.

I don't know, they haven't really approached us about it. If they came to Bungie with another Myth or Oni game, at least in an advisory capacity, it could happen.

On another Marathon game:

I don't think we'd ever do something where we just took an old game and slapped it into a new engine, tell the same story again. It would be possible for us to do another Marathon game. Whether we're going to, I can't say.

On Bungie's silence regarding the Mac/PC port of Halo:

The lack of information, the radio silence that Bungie maintains, it doesn't lend itself to a lot of confidence. When it happens, people are going to be happy and surprised. We're really honestly working to keep our promise. It would be a lot easier to say fuck it, no Halo version for Mac or the PC, buy an Xbox.' We thought we were going to be able to say something substantial here at E3, but couldn't keep the legal dogs at bay, which we're clearing up. There should be an announcement soon.

The code is being ported from the Xbox to run on the Mac and PC and we'll see what needs to be done. Once the Xbox version was done, people went away for a while and came back, we're playing it to make sure it doesn't suck. Now we're figuring out how we do it and who does what, it's taken a long time and been a huge pain in the ass. The good news is that the preliminary stuff is taken care of and people are working with the code to get it working.

The emphasis is ours, but this seems to directly contradict what DiCesar said about development not being on the board-- in fact, it sounds as if code is being ported right now.
