This piece really caught my eye here.
First, we got Red vs Blue. That was/is a hilarious series, currently into Season 3. What’s Red vs Blue? It’s a series of movie clips (“episodes”) made using the game Halo. Some have coined the term “machinima” for this kind movie making using game engines instead of doing a full render in a 3D tool.
Well anyway, I haven’t really thought about playing Halo again for a long time, not until I got Pariah recently anyway. The feel of Pariah is very familar, even the vehicle controls feel the same. It must be because both games were translated from XBox to PC unlike in the olden days where it was the other way around – the game would come out for the PC first, then gets translated to the XBox (such as Morrowind).
Now, this piece of news set me thinking. If it’s “live action” as the article claims, whoever they get to play Master Chief will not matter. It can be Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, whoever. It will not matter because:
- Mastier Chief is fully covered from head to toe in a suit of armour
- No gamer has ever seen Master Chief without his helmet
Wonder how it’s going to turn out…
