Marc Rein says Bungie hurt themselves at E3
Thrills Killa \| 11:03 AM on 07.27.2007	2 comments

CVG caught up with Marc who told them that Bungie did more damage than good by showing off the single player of Halo 3.

"Halo 3 didn't win any game of the show awards that I could see. Well, because they didn't have to show Halo. There was no need".

Marc goes on to say that Bungie didn't have to show off Halo 3 because... It's FREAKIN Halo 3! It doesn't need any advertising because it's going to sell 10 billion copies anyway.

"I'm sure if they'd actually had a big Halo 3 presence, if Microsoft had set up eight machines or 12 or 16 machines so you could sit and play it, it would have won all kinds of awards. But they don't need to because, like me, everyone's already placed their order... So I think that worked against them at E3,"

In my opinion I feel Halo cannot hurt itself. If Master Chief's suit in Halo 3 had the Nazi Emblem than maybe but there's nothing that can stop the Halo 3 money train.

Chocolate Rein is the VP for Epic Games. Oh yeah I went there.

Yeah, I kind of agree with you on this one. Other than putting out a disappointing game, Bungie can't really do much to hurt themselves at this point. The hype level for both this and GTA IV continues to build, and both will sell extremely well no matter what. In my opinion, GOTY awards are far more important that silly Best of E3 awards (which aren't based on finished products).

Marc has no love for Halo 3?
Why don't we, in turn, ask Denis Dyack what he thinks of Epic?

about me

What's up Earthlings?

My name is Michael Pacheco and I love to write about games. I'm of the few lucky bastards who own a PS3, Wii, 360 all at once because well I'm that hardcore.

I read a lot of gaming blogs from one's which get Hundreds of Thousands of visitors to one's that get 5 visits a day.

I've been reading Destructoid since Summer of 2006 but currently I'm going to try to be more active in the community.

Send me a Friend's request(GT= Thrills Killa) on live or add me as a friend here on D-toid because I cry at night and the feeling of being accepted makes the pain much more easier to take.

Thank you kindly.
