Bungie's Fantasy Siege

by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 13, 2000 1:06pm PDT

According to loonyboi over at Blues News, this month's Next Generation Magazine has an article on Microsoft's Xbox, which includes a sidebar piece on the Bungie merger. Microsoft's Ed Fries mentions another Halo-engine powered game, Fantasy Siege, apparently the third game in development at Bungie.

For two years running Bungie has wowed the crowds with the astonishing Halo, and according to Fries, "What is even more impressive is Fantasy Siege - a totally different type of game running on the same engine. The engine is a very important thing to us, and is a huge part of the deal."
Just to remind you again how purty the Halo engine is, here are some Halo screenshots.

  • I switched from consoles to computer gaming about a year ago and soon realized how much more expensive computer gaming is. Mice, video cards, more ram, dsl connection, new monitor, ect..... After hearing what Microsoft is doing with the X-Box --- 733 p3, 64 megs of ram, 8 gig hard drive(that can be used to record tv shows) DVD-ROM, broadband NIC card, and a souped up NVIdia chip all included in a box that is designed for strictly gaming and costs only 200$ dollars. What a deal! I just might revert back to console gaming after this monster comes out.

  • Of course the PC will never die, it'll just slowly transform into unseen ubiquity.

    Present day prognosticating over the future of computing in the form of PC's, consoles, handhelds, "web phones," "covergence-nifty set-top-boxes," etc. is just a money wrangling phase to see how many markets business can create with derivations of soon-to-be ancient technology. One day the box computer will just dissapear, but be everywhere, be connected to everything, do anything, store everything, and all with an ingeniously transparent open interface.

    It has been forseen!
