‘Journey’s End’ provides nice book end to the Halo series
Download the new ViDoc from the Halo 3 crew when you get a chance. It’s worth the viewing.
‘Journey’s End’ is a collection of interviews with Halo insiders going through all the Halo games and the feel/emotion of the games from start to finish. Although it neglects going into a lot of detail about Halo 3–since it is still sort of pushing those final consumers to go pick it up–the ViDoc is a great book end for Halo fans who want a refresher or just want to watch a sort of “commentary reel” from the Halo team.
ViDocs are one of the great things that Halo 3 did throughout their production and marketing. Similar to a viral marketing plan, the ViDocs maintained the hype about the game all the way up until launch time and gave Halo 3 fans insight into how the game was coming along and new features. Rather than seeming like a commercial trying to get you to buy, the ViDocs made fans feel like stakeholders who really wanted Halo 3 to succeed.

Isn’t this a little old? Everybody who was interested in Halo 3 has had several months to play it and finish the campaign. Shouldn’t this have been posted leading up to the game’s release?
Yeah. Not sure why they waited until after Halo 3’s launch to put this one out, but I am guessing they figure there are still some interesting parties just picking up consoles on Black Friday or later in the holiday season.
Recent adopters might not have bought their copy of Halo 3 yet and might check it out, or they could have just been trying give hardcore Halo fans a final ViDoc on the Halo story. Maybe it took them this much time to get all these behind-the-scenes folks on camera since they all probably took long vacations after Halo 3 wrapped.
