Peter Jackson is also working on the Halo movie so this commitment isn't too far off. Why is Jackson taking this route? He thinks stories are extremely important and there are "all sorts of ways to tell the story", he says. He believes the technology, now, as allowed creative stories and "interactive entertainment" can blend to build a single great product. Not just a movie, not just a game, but something greater.
What is Peter Jackson's first game working with Microsoft? He didn't state exactly but he did say it will be based on the Halo theme and will be worked by Bungie. It will not be Halo 3 nor will it be Halo 4. It will be a new Halo series with a good story being told by Peter Jackson.
Not only did Peter Jackson get a huge cheer getting on stage at X06 but he announces more Halo content? Lastly, they throw around the word "interactive entertainment" and how Peter Jackson is spear heading this movement. How Wiicentric of them to use Nintendo's new marketing strategy.
Microsoft apparently wants a piece of the "interactive entertainment" arena and plans to come at Nintendo in full force. They may not have a new crazy controller but they have something that may be more powerful and more intimidating: A proven storyteller.
Nintendo may have a new wiz-bang controller - Microsoft has a creative storyteller with years of experience and a few hit movies under his belt. Let the games begin!
