Virtual Reality: Taking a Spin in a Warthog

A writer for the Official Xbox Magazine, pictured above in the passenger seat, (I know, looks just like I thought too) recently got to take a spin in a replica Warthog based on the vehicle from the popular game Halo. Halo fans should live vicariously through this geeky compadre– it’s their moment. Despite being a pants-wettingly exciting opportunity to get inside the game, the Warthog was apparently drastically lacking as time negated the possibility of designing the independent shock system for each wheel, as experienced in the game. The Warthog was produced by Peter Jackson’s Weta special effects studio in New Zealand for the Halo movie which sadly (read: thankfully) will never be.  [DVICE]
