Halo's Real Life Warthog: Weta build, they smash – OXCGN Exclusive

OXCGN:

"How Weta built a real-life Warthog (Just so Bungie & Microsoft reps could smash things with it…)."

Interview with Weta Workshop's Peter Osborne about the construction of the real life Warthog.

That's where I live in New Zealand :D Sweet.

There's no doubt that there are some pretty talented Kiwis!

gaminoz5717d ago

I think I'd smash a few things myself if I had a go at the real Warthog!

It's amazing the detail of the work they had to do and there isn't even a movie for sure!

XboxOZ3605717d ago

While discussing such things with Alex and Tim, such as no Halo Movie, - at the moment- they did say that there are times when in the movie business, changes happen that often get turned around several times and have ended up working on movies that were once cancelled some time ago.

So who knows, perhaps now with District 9 doing so well, and being a stand-out in its genre, the powers-to-be might just re-think the Halo movie idea after all.

One would hope so. The trailer in the article shows just how well the movie could be, those brutes were exceptionally REAL and lifelike, nothing like what I thought they would be.

I do know that there are several secret projects underway at Weta that they couldn't discuss, so who know what they are - or are not . .

Followed by a real-life Mongoose ATV from Halo 3. =P

'Do a Burnout!' haha

Awesome interview, if only you could get them in real life!

XboxOZ3605717d ago

Well he did say if you had a cheque book big enough, with lots of zeros, then they could build you one . . . they'd even like to make it a production vehicle, but some major changes would be needed for rego rules etc.

Was great experience riding in it, that's for sure.

Madusha5717d ago

I'd definitely buy one if they were available in real life lol.

You're not gonna include Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal or Jak 3 on that list? Just change it to Fall 2004 Releases and include the masterpiece that is Sly 2.

My favourite of the series... I have only played 3 though

Never a big fan of the original but number two blew me away with it's scale, the bit at the beginning when you're driving a tank across this giant bridge whilst shooting down flying enemies lives in my head. Always rocked the double needler

gigoran8170d ago

as much as I liked it, it was one of the first game endings where I went "you gotta be f'ing kidding me!"

I still remember the gameplay reveal during E3 2003.. Man, the graphics was like a major upgrade from Halo 1 and it blew everybody's mind. It looked miles ahead of anything on PlayStation 2 and the score was epic! When it launched, Halo 2 was worthy of every bit of hype it generated.

Elit3Nick170d ago

They actually just released the E3 demo recently for MCC. It's unreal to actually see people finally playing something from 20 years ago.

darthv72169d ago

2 & 3 had the best teaser trailers back in the day. The score is so memorable.

goken170d ago

Where are the calls for a remake eh?

cthulhucultist169d ago

This in my opinion is one of the best Halo games (Alongside 1 and Reach). It introduced the prophets, you could play an elite which was awesome, dual handling SMG, amazing graphics for its time on original Xbox and so many more.

The city levels had flat textures and streaming issues but the assault on the Temple with the ODST team was an unforgettable experience. I still remember how detailed the buildings covered with moss and grass were like and the water element in the temples was perfectly utilized.

Replayed this gem on MCC and had a blast.

Full animiation then a code change to make the target that comes out of the ball to be in the same class unsc not a easy thing to do.
