MS screwed-up ODST marketing says Fallout 3 director

Bethesda Production Director Ashley Cheng has defended the length of the Halo 3: ODST campaign, but believes Microsoft has itself to blame for the reviewer/consumer backlash. Cheng, whose credits include Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, said on his blog: "Give me a break. First off, most games - especially first person shooters - are anywhere from 5-10 hours. Tops. What makes Halo different from others? You can't just ping Halo ODST for it." And he firmly believes this is a situation that could have been avoided. "Microsoft and/or Bungie totally bungled the marketing on this," wrote Cheng. [read more]

Associated Press Review: Halo 3: ODST': Lots of firepower, nothing fresh

Associated Press: The "Star Wars" movies should have taught all science-fiction writers a lesson: One trilogy is enough. Bungie, the developer of Microsoft's blockbuster "Halo" trilogy, wrapped up the story in 2007. The war between humanity and the alien Covenant was over, with the hero, supersoldier Master Chief, drifting off into cryogenic sleep. Looking at the "Halo" epic from another angle turned out to be much less interesting than I'd expected, and I couldn't shake the feeling that Bungie is bored with the franchise. "ODST" doesn't have the spark that made earlier "Halo" titles so compelling - a spark that, I hope, will return when the studio moves onto something new. Two stars out of four. [read more]
