Halo Xbox One – will 343 strike out for new horizons, or play it safe?
Thoughts from Ed on the future of Microsoft’s tentpole franchise.
“We aren’t told, we’re asked,” was how Turn 10’s Dan Greenawalt summed up Microsoft’s handling of first party studio projects back in July. A cynical man might object that “asking” sounds awfully like “telling” when the people doing the asking pay your wages, adding that if Forza Motorsport 5 (known internally as “flagship”) has been created without publisher interference, you wouldn’t be able to deduce that from the game itself, which fits Xbox One’s various buzz-features like a glove.
