I'm always game for creating a new character, and I liked the idea of putting something new into the 'Halo' universe.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm all about 'Halo 2'.
Having worked on 'Halo: Nightfall' and gotten a taste for what 'Halo' has to offer, it definitely has me interested in picking up the games and getting familiarized more with the 'Halo' universe.
I know a lot more about the 'Halo' universe than the fans do.
My goal is definitely to direct features - action movies, that's my favorite genre. So I would love to do the 'Halo' movie.
I love the creating part of taking on a character. It is fun to be another person and create what it would be like to be that person.
I think the idea of creating a character from scratch, one that has not been done in a novel or an existing story, is immensely exciting, terrifying and ultimately rewarding.
Games are advancing in terms of storytelling and trying to create a character, and it's a brand new audience for me.
I don't look at it as writing a book in a videogame universe. I look at it as writing for 'Halo', which for me, transcends being just a great video game. It's evolving into a whole new mythology.
I'm not a gamer. I've never played any games. I was more a books and games outdoors kind of a person, so I was extremely daunted when I got this job knowing the size of the fan base and the commitment of the fans to 'Halo.'
I try not so much to create new characters and worlds but to create new game-play experiences.
