That would be great. I'd ask: what was the "Mosaic" project?

I guess it will be better than anything ever done, untill Halo comes out. Remember, most recent games run on software mode. Slow and crappy, but they do run. "Oni" and "Halo", as far as I know, NEED graphic acceleration, so you can guess.

I hope it won't even need the mouse. It is nice with "Myth" but sucks on "Marathon". Action games should be played only with the keyboard! Hmm, a cool PlayStation-like analog controller sure would be nice...

Let's hope it comes with level editors so we don't have to buy those expensive CAD programs!

> Are there hot and sexy college girls in Oni?

Bungie's priority is giving characters a personality, not big butts. If it makes sense on the story, there may be hot babes on leather bikinis, but hey, isn't this game supposed to be a dark world of conspiracy?

The game itself is a great fully interactive anime, so why worry? In-game scenes seem to be the best choice because they take less room on disk, so they can be made longer and better. "Final Fantasy VI", anyone? That rules!

> is there anything else that would be cool to know?

Yes: What's the meaning of life? How can I talk directly to the gods? Who was I on my previous incarnations? How deep was the connection between Catholic Church and the Nazis? Can someone really talk to dead people's spirits? How many urban legends are actually true? What's the path to world peace? Why do people get linked to faiths that offer nothing but hate and slavery? How much time it will take till Bungie grows bigger than Microsoft?
