Lying To The Press

Some months ago, the UK edition of Microsoft’s PR Rag, The Official XBOX Magazine, visited the alsoran’s studio for a tour of the current project’s work in progress. Due to always having the most interesting, moving work to show, the press stopped off at the animation team area where they were given a demonstration of some of the unnanounced non-mocap creatures that will populate the game.

As is always the case, the alsoran and colleagues have a running competition to see who can get the most imaginative quotes into the press blurb, with additional points for coining new industry phrases that turn up beyond the confines of the article or interview.

Besides alluding to masturbation in a widely syndicated family magazine, there will in fact be no minigames in the current project. The alsoran believes he won the competition – fans should never believe anything they read in magazines.
