It has been announced that X06 will be held at Barcelona, Spain this year.
X06 is a convention held every year by Microsoft, where everything is Xbox. Over the years it has been home to breaking news like the acquisition of Rare studious, unveiling of the New Xbox, and the Xbox 360's Launch lineup- so expect to see good things come from it this year (Can we hope for a little Halo 3?)
This year’s event, according to MS, those who will be attending "should expect to be blown away with exclusive news announcements and amazing next generation gaming experiences."
It will be held September 27th and 28th, so not to far off from the Tokyo Game Convention.
Now we just have to wait and see until then if Microsoft drops the Bomb.
We recently received five pages of art from Marvel's upcoming Halo Graphic Novel, and we have to say, it's looking good. The pages feature art by Simon Bisley, Moebius, and Tstutomo Nihei. Each page includes a caption that gives a hint to what the graphic novel will cover.
One page shows a group of Covenant Elites entering a Flood-infested agricultural ship, and another shows the tranquil city of New Mombasa before the Covenant invasion. A page by Nihei depicts Sgt. Johnson going up against Flood-infected humans. The last bit of art takes place during the creation of the Spartan project and shows the famous armor being tested.
We've been told that the book will include stories from all over the Halo timeline rather than be limited to one specific story or era. Marvel will release the Halo Graphic Novel in hardback this July, and it will weigh in at 128 pages.
"We're Bungie, not Halo," Bungie's music director Marty O'Donnell told 1UP (video here) at PLAY! in Chicago, recently. The development of Halo 3 is taking up a sizable chunk of Bungie's time, but the studio doesn't want to be relegated to just making Halo games forever. O'Donnell indicated members of the Bungie team have expressed interest in creating games for Xbox Live Arcade -- does that mean, as people have started to speculate, that this will be Bungie's last Halo game? "We're not walking away from Halo, because it's a great universe and a great franchise. There's lots of story that we can tell about Halo, but we're working on other stuff."
1UP News writer Patrick Klepek also quizzes Marty O'Donnell on his involvement in the Halo movie ("There's a lot of expectation and there's a lot of apprehension...") and why the Halo 3 announcement teaser opened with a piano (think Eyes Wide Shut).
Some of our sharp-eyed fans may have noticed Marty hinted at an upcoming documentary on Bungie.net. It was supposed to be a surprise, but since the man himself gave it away, we can in fact reveal that we have a documentary short that shows the process and people involved in making the E3 trailer, complete with some never before seen scenes (think angles, really) from the trailer.
Gamers can declare their intention to "Finish the Fight" with new apparel at Bungie store.
Gamers will have to wait until next year to "finish the fight" in the highly anticipated Halo 3 for the Xbox 360, but they can already get their hands on the shooter's official shirt. Bungie's official Web store of Halo 3 developer is now offering official T-shirts for the game.
The shirts cost $17.95 and come in medium, large, XL, and XXL sizes. The nearly all-brown apparel
features the game's logo--a lone "3" encircled by a halo--on the front and the text "Finish the Fight" written across the back.
Our pals at Joystiq just got word straight from the horse's mouth about the forthcoming Xbox 360 Dashboard update, and have posted the deets along with lots of screenshots.
The biggest -- and most expected -- news is background downloading, which includes a queue with six slots for all your Halo 3 trailer and pricey Oblivion horse needs. Downloads will pause while you play online to minimize lag, but otherwise will run in the background while you go about your Dashboard business.
Other improvements include a boot to Dashboard function, improved media playback and controls, full USB keyboard support, and an improved Marketplace layout to handle the influx of available content. The update will be available to Xbox Live users "in about a week," and will be eventually be available bundled with retail game discs for those without an Internet enabled 360 (all four of you).
