In Response To: Will Halo last until 2037? (Louis Wu)

: Bonnie Ross is the focus of a piece on women in gaming at Bloomberg:
: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-12-15/microsoft-s-ross-breaks-mold-in-male-dominated-video-games-tech.html

: One of the more interesting quotes, to me; she's discussing the beginning of
: 343 Studios, in 2007: The game was six years old at the time and “I
: wanted to make sure we were able to go another three decades,” she said.

: I'm not sure I've ever heard that goal before. Does Halo (or ANYTHING in
: video games, any more) have 30-year legs? Mario's 33 right now, and I'd
: say he's still doing okay - but how many others are there?

There are a few franchises with such long legs, although it hasn't been well-tested for how long you can pull a single-genre "cinematic narrative" with regular releases. Maybe in 2037 we'll be playing as Dutch's thousandth-generation descendant at the end of the universe, racing on snazzy space racetracks against the pre-pre-pre-pre-precursor to escape the closure and get excellent lap times.
