‘Red v. Blue’ End of An Era
Wired News reports that Rooster Teeth, the small company behind the now famous ‘Red v. Blue’ Halo, inspired Machinima series has decided to retire the show. As the true pioneers in Machinima, we owe this creative bunch a warm thank you for helping to evolve the concept — video games as art. The folks over at Rooster Teeth had this to say regarding the series finale:
Having labored on the series for four years, Red vs. Blue creator Michael “Burnie” Burns, who remains the series’ writer, editor, director and lead voice talent, wants to make sure fans aren’t let down.
The 15-minute final episode will be “the biggest one we’ve ever done,” says Burns, “but The Sopranos stole our ending, so we had to change it completely.”
With a strong Machinima fan base this only marks the end of the beginning of this fast growing segment in video game culture. How long will it take before we see a feature length film in this genre? In any case, thanks for the laughs.
