Shane Kim reveals that Ensemble Studios' Xbox 360-exclusive RTS wasn't ready to be shown off at this year's Spring Showcase...
As the dust begins to settle at Microsoft's Xbox 360 Spring Showcase 2008 in San Francisco, it appears that the battlelines between the Redmond corporation's console and Sony's PlayStation 3 have been well and truly drawn.
With a selection of solid titles from the Locust-entrenched battles in Gears of War 2 to Fable 2 and a double-header of titles from Rare in the form of Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, there seems to be a fairly well-rounded mix of core and more casual games on offer. There were however notable absentees from the event, namely Remedy Entertainment's ever hibernating Alan Wake, and Ensemble Studios' Halo Wars RTS.
Speaking at a roundtable interview, the Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Game Studios, Shane Kim, revealed that the two games weren't in a position to be shown at the event and that they'd learnt their lesson from past mistakes. The latter point a none-too-subtle reference to the infamous E3 2006 demo of Silicon Knights' Too Human.
It certainly seems that the titles Microsoft shown off at the Dogpatch Studios based event form the crux of their first-party strength between now and Christmas, which suggests that neither title will make it into gamers' hands this side of January 1st.
