| |
| '''''Halo: Chronicles''''' is an episodic project that was announced at [[Microsoft]]'s [[Xbox]] show, X06.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Background==
| |
| [[Peter Jackson]], with his recently-formed [[Wingnut Interactive]], is creating a game set in the ''[[Halo]]'' universe, in partnership with [[Bungie Studios]]. The game is toted to be a "new chapter" and a "new trilogy" in the Halo story and is slated to feature a new way of playing games.
| |
|
| |
| In UK [[Xbox 360]] magazine ''Xbox World 360'', it was speculated that the game will be more of an 'interactive movie', where some parts will be semi-playable, and certain decisions will lead to different outcomes that you then have to watch play out.
| |
|
| |
| It was confirmed by Shane Kim at GDC 07 that the project was an episodic title. According to Microsoft, Bungie and Jackson ''are'' planning two episodic series for the Xbox 360. These games appear to be in a downloadable format. Microsoft went on to say that the game is now in the development phase.<ref>[http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=13030 Industry News March 7, 2007]</ref>

|
| |
| {{BigQuote|''"I'm getting a little bored with films...more and more I'm looking forward to the release of games, and not movies. I am more aware and excited about games."''
| |
|
| |
| ''"I do not have to keep delivering stories as movies - there are other things I can do.''"
| |
|
| |
| ''"Technology is at a point where we can blend a lot of film storytelling with interactive entertainment...the series would not be for hard-core gamers.''}}
