The X Factor: Inside Microsoft's Xbox
Microsoft owns the office, and now it wants to take over the living room. Drawing on input
from key Microsoft decision-makers and the hotshot development teams behind Crimson Skies,
Halo 2, and Oddworld, this program illustrates the challenges of video game development
and marketing. Xbox architecture and controller design, scripting, animatics, motion
capture,
programming, and playtesting are touched upon as the creators pull all-nighters of
debugging, agonize through green light prototype meetings, and race to meet E3 trade show
and final delivery deadlines. Can Microsoft use the Xbox to beat Nintendo and Sony at
their own game? A Discovery Channel Production. (51 minutes, color)
