No. After Silicon Nights and Nintendo split, so did their games. I mean a Silicon Nights game isn't ruled out, but Too Human will be an xbox exclusive... Well for three months at least.

They still use media player with me :/ Anyway Too Human simply looks amazing. But it's early days yet, and we have no idea how this game will work or play. All we have is a trailer, so I'm going to reserve judgment.

OK my bad. Sorry

Sorry about that. But I don't really check the halo 2 thread, since it's pretty long. Besides although this has some relation to Halo 2, it's not 'Halo 2 the movie', it's 'Halo the movie'... Or that's what i'm assuming. So I don't see any harm in creating a topic, then again some of you would...

I know my last Halo topic annoyed you, but bare with me this is official news from team xbox Universal Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox announced today that triple-Academy Award winners Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh will serve as the executive producers of HALO, the upcoming feature film based on Microsoft’s phenomenally popular video game from Bungie Studios. Jackson and Walsh will provide creative counsel on all aspects of the film via their WingNut Films banner, and Jackson’s award-winning companies Weta Digital Ltd. and Weta Workshop Ltd. will provide creatures, miniatures and visual effects for the production. The HALO agreement marks the first time that Jackson and Walsh have performed these services on a major studio film that Jackson is not directing. Mary Parent and Scott Stuber will produce HALO with Peter Schlessel. After Fox, led by President Hutch Parker and Universal, led by Production President Donna Langley, acquired the feature film rights to HALO, the studios worked in conjunction with Schlessel in reaching out to a number of producers who auditioned for Microsoft/Bungie. The film is currently targeted for a Summer 2007 worldwide release. Universal will handle domestic distribution of the film, and Fox will handle the international release. This unique alliance among Fox, Universal, Microsoft, and Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh promises a step forward in motion picture production. HALO will benefit from the experience and resources of the film studios, from Bungie Studios’ groundbreaking vision, and from Jackson and Walsh’s creative sensibilities and expertise in both traditional filmmaking and the world of emerging digital technologies. HALO will be shot in its entirety in Wellington, New Zealand and will make use of the full range of Jackson’s state-of-the-art production and post-production facilities, including Weta Digital Ltd., Weta Workshop Ltd., Stone Street Studios and Park Road Post. “As a gaming fan, I’m excited to bring HALO's premise, action and settings to the screen with all the specificity and reality today’s technology can provide,†said Jackson. “Fran and I are intrigued by the unique challenges this project offers, and we’re delighted to be working again with our friends at Universal, and with our new ones at Fox and Microsoft. I’m a huge fan of the game and look forward to helping it come alive on the cinema screen.†Tom Rothman and Jim Gianopulos, Co-Chairmen of Fox Filmed Entertainment remarked, “HALO, Peter Jackson & Fran Walsh, Fox, Universal and Microsoft. That is one hell of a starting five, and we can't wait to play.†“I couldn’t be more pleased, or proud, to continue our relationship with Peter and Fran on this film,†said Stacey Snider, Chairman of Universal Pictures. “There are no filmmakers who better understand the delicate balance between technology and drama, and how the best use of today’s astonishing digital tools is in the service of not only spectacle but also a solid story. We are confident that the HALO feature film can be most fully realized under the creative direction of Peter, Fran and Weta.†“Peter Jackson is one of Hollywood’s most exciting innovators, and our partnership with him will greatly broaden the appeal of the HALO franchise,†said Bill Gates, Microsoft’s Chairman and Chief Software Architect. “We’re confident he’ll create an epic that not only thrills existing HALO fans, but also introduces millions of moviegoers around the world to this amazing saga.†Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh (each a winner of three Academy Awards® for their work on The Lord of the Rings trilogy) are currently in post-production on Universal Pictures’ dramatic adventure King Kong, in which Jackson brings his sweeping cinematic vision to the iconic story of the gigantic ape captured in the wild and brought to civilization where he meets his tragic fate. Jackson assumes directing, producing and co-screenwriting duties on King Kong and surrounds himself with a list of superlative filmmaking and acting talents. Jackson re-teams with longtime collaborators Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, co-writing the screenplay with three-time Oscar ®-winning partner Walsh and their The Lord of the Rings co-writer, Academy Award® winner Boyens. Jan Blenkin, Carolynne Cunningham, Fran Walsh and Jackson are producing the film under their WingNut Films banner for a worldwide December 14, 2005 release. Acclaimed screenwriter (28 Days Later) and novelist (The Beach) Alex Garland wrote the original feature film adaptation of HALO, and a director will be announced shortly. Donna Langley, President of Production, Universal Pictures and Hutch Parker, President of Twentieth Century Fox, will oversee the production for their respective studios along with Microsoft. Bungie Studios (a division of Microsoft) created the international award-winning “Halo†in 2001, and the resulting franchise is supported by a rabid fanbase around the globe. “Halo†and its 2004 follow-up “Halo 2†have sold a combined 13.8 million copies worldwide and grossed more then $600 million (U.S.). Last November, “Halo 2†shattered records with $125 million in first-day sales. Source: team xbox Personally I'm very happy with this news!

I'm getting a 360 at launch, thing is I can't decide which game to get. In your oppinions, what looks better PDZ or kameo?

Y'know although crazy, that does sound cool.

OK, that is just strange and sad... Almost as sad as the people who thought the naked lara croft cheat was real. Thank God the modding community wasn't that big then, or I could predict a lot of jaggy pixolated naked laras...

I think that revolution will also have 7.1 support. But since 5.1 is pretty much standerd with most entertianment things now, I think iw will definatly be included.

Hey you nicked most of these from Gerhold on MozLaPunk. I mean they're funny, but give the guy credit!

You don't need to google porn, it's everywhere... Anyway, yes this is good news but this could be just one hardcore crowd searching again and again. I'm pretty sure playstation owners wouldn't keep looking at google again and again for info... They would much rather get it of Gamespot or IGN.

Well the best businessman started out young. Richard Branson started out at 16 and look at hime mow. Not saying it's going to happen to you, but I'll wish you luck.... Um... Good luck!

I dont care about anyones view on Sony in the games Industry. What concerns me is the 20,000 jobs being lost world wide, because, at the end of the day, we wouldn't be able to afford these consoles without jobs.

I can't wait for this. If this is doesn't get put back, it will be sitting in my sisk tray come December 2nd. My only concern (other than gameplay) is how badly will it lag in a 60 player game?

It wasn't supposed to be a big rumour. I hate reading about big massive fake rumours. I only posted this because it's small, and isn't going to create any hype what so ever. I mean would you rather me say 'OMG Halo is going to let you fly jet planes well doing the can-can on the wing', or would you rather me tell you boring stuff that wont get your hopes up?

Um... Did I say it had a chance of being real. No! I said it had a very real chance of being fake... I mean it's not like I'm telling you it's true, and it's hardly big, but it's still something.

OK, gueesing by you sarcastic comments you don't want this post here, so I'm taken down this news piece. It wasn't really news in the first place, it was a rumour, which I tough could have been fake. I also stated that the guy could have been spouting complete BS, and could not have worked for Bungie at all. However some of you seemed to think that I believed this guy, although on numouras occasions I stated that he could have been a fake. This was also a rumour of the most minute size. so it did not harm anyone. I also didn't make any of this stuff up... Y'know I could have went on and on about features that didn't exist, but that would have been more stupid than giving you a basic name. So sorry for causing any inconvenience and the next time I think about posting harmless rumours (that i've stated were rumours) I will think about it. Sorry for wasting your time, because you've made it quite clear that's all I've done. Goodnight.

I understand what you mean. For me the revolution is as unique as the DS, it can't be compared to the PSP IMO. The revolution can't really compete with microsoft in the same way, sure they're competing for the same market, but like the PSP and DS one is taking the graphics route, and the other is taking the new gameplay route. I mean I've noticed most people are getting both a revolution and another console. I gues the main reason why is because you can't play revolution games on a PS3 and xbox360 and vice versa.

Um... Whatever you say

Will it doesn't take a great deal of thunder away from my purchase... Although I may sound like an avid nintendo fan buy most of the time I've got an xbox 360 fund, and I'm getting one at lauch. However in Japan, Nintendo have clearly hurt both Microsoft and Sony... Microsoft are already in a bad persision in Japan, and nintendo seem to have made it wose. Sony still do amazingly well, but they to were overshadowed by not games, not specs, but a simple controller. The point I'm trying to make is, if a simple controller can overshadow it's rivals, the imagine what the games, online functions and specs could do... Of course they're is a chance all the gaes will be bad, but I doupt it.

Yep, I totally agree with you. Microsoft were totally overshadowed at TGS, and the only way they're going to take attention away from the controller, is by (ironically) talking about it. If that makes sense?

The Vgcats thing was funny... Jeez. Oh, and so is this.

I think A demo disk, would be more reasnable than Wario ware.

Given that B&W is coming to the DS I think, given the revolutions, control style we will see it on nintendo's new console.

Um... Wat? Sorry I'm a bit dumb, when it comes to names...
