2008-07-16 05:16:21

You can dream all you want, kid, but it won't do any good 'cause when you wake up again you'll realize nothing has changed.

Yep, was looking forward to what they was gonna show. Oh well I guess were gonna have to wait for a bit longer.

Ok scrap EA, Bungie were also at Sony's conference as well so my bet is on MS.

2008-07-16 05:40:49

There's no LOL big enough.

Hey, I'm just like you. I put my pants on one leg at a - dammit, I knew I forgot something today.

2008-07-16 07:16:05

Well its pretty sure the publisher is MS, as they are the main partner with Bungie. But why not show what bungie has, does MS feel like they wooped Sony ass at E3 so they wanna save this and milk it later?

When all think alike, no one is thinking very much.

Something is fishy, this smells like more MS hype machine, theyre not even satisfied to make an announcement without hyping it.

Luke Smith already confirmed in the GAF forums that the publisher is MS ...

I will share something I heard

Apparently Bungie were prepping an announcement for the MS conference but it was called off at the last minute, this might have been due to them thinking the announcement - lets just say its Halo 4 for the sake of argument - would have been snowplowed by FFXIII.

2008-07-16 10:03:12

bullshit, they're gonna show it anyway, bungie are sneaky little buggers trust me ;)

Yeah i think the last min deal with SE for FFXIII scuppered whatever Halo announcement that was forthcoming, to be saved for another day.

If that's the case, OK. as long as there is something fresh on the way, they can announce another Halo. Just give me something NEW bungie please. they are a very talented developer and I hate to see them only working on halo.

Guys, you're way in over your heads...This has NOTHING to do with FF13 or GeoW 2 or any kind of strategic pr move...

This is just a trick, if you don't take it from me just go to bungie.net forums. Notice how the announcement came EXACTLY at 7.00 pm??? The whole "remain calm" and "keep it clean" theme was built around the fact that we would get pissed off by this announcement. Something fishy is up, and I believe bungie will show their new project in the next few days(or maybe even tonight)

2008-07-16 15:58:31

I agree.

Son, this is a big day for you. Today, you become the man of the house, because, when we get home, your mother is going to kill me.

2008-07-16 15:59:50

I'm pretty sure that Bungie's announcement (considering their obsession with the #7) is going to come at 7:00 PST. Just mark your clocks for it.

And remember the countdown page has been leaving messages like this for us-

Keep It Clean
Expect Delays
Remain Calm

And notice how Bungie never mentions how long the delay would be? Microsoft isn't making any announcements regarding stepping on Bungie's big moment either, they're not stupid.

Dudes, in football this is what we call a pump fake, but then it could also be a pooch kick if Bungie is just working the clock like I think they are.

The announcement IS coming, Bungie just wants to play this thing out. They're sneaky like that. But all of the howling from the Halo heads is quite amusing. Some of those fools are acting like chickens with their heads cut off. Calling for boycotts of Microsoft or throwing away their 360s.

Jesus..........you'd think Bungie's announcement was going to be the cure for cancer with the way some of these people are behaving :P

edit* see? Apollo gets it
