Seatle PI have posted an interview with Microsoft Executive J Allard. In the interview J Allard discusses alot of topics, including the recent RealNetworks discussion, Halo 3, the Xbox 360 pricing aswell as the PlayStation 3.Q: There were listings by some online retailers citing a spring release date for "Halo 3" among their pre-orders. What can you say about that?
Allard: Well, maybe they know more than I do. (Laughing.) You know, Bungie is definitely working on an Xbox 360 title right now. The thing that's made Bungie games special, always, is they don't rush it. They don't hold themselves to an artificial date. They preserve quality and the depth of the experience above all else.
The original "Halo" was 4-and-a half years in development. The next "Halo," people gave us a lot of heat for slipping it, what, six months from the originally anticipated date. But it was the most successful title on the Xbox platform, one of the most influential titles of the entire last generation. And so we're glad we waited. The next Bungie title, I think you can expect not more of the same, but rather a title that holds itself to that same kind of bar.
The interview proves an interesting read, although it doesnt offer to much that we didnt already know.
