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)
