It's obvious that Bungie will one day sign a contract with another publisher. They might come up with a concept that MS wouldn't be interested at all, so they would find someone else to publish it, which would be why Bungie separated from Microsoft in the first place, to have more creative initiative and control. Or they could go completely the self-funding route, where they would just be looking for the best business partner to distribute (/and advertise) their game, like id or Valve. Which would be, ironically, EA itself (at least looking at those self-funding devs like id, Valve, Crytek or even Harmonix). --- |

2008-07-26 22:20:30 If Bungie go third party, it will be with EA for precisely that reason. None of the other third party publishers offer those kinds of deals (and only a limited few could afford Bungie anyway). EA are also a bit more serious about publishing on the Mac which given Bungie's roots is probably appealing. --- |

2008-07-27 02:56:41 Microsoft could be planning a "Halo Con" event in the future
The fanbase IS there. They could pull it off. At the very least, the Halo-Heads certainly wouldn't have to guess when and where the next Halo announcement would be made. O'Conner also played down the Bungie announcment drama-

2008-07-27 11:42:10 What about just the Liepzig games convention ? they can make the Halo announcement there, wouldn that be more appropriate than a separate event ? --- |

The way Matrrick was talking mind it really sounded like a separate "Gamers day" type event though. Maybe they'll be an X08. --- |

2008-07-28 00:56:22 Oh and this part here
Could the next Halo game be a squad based shooter that takes place on the Shield World with the remaining members of Blue Team along with the still remaining Spartan IIIs?
Maybe a new enemy will emerge from within the Shield World. --- |

Can't wait for the announcement. The text gives us so many hints that when I start to think about what could mean what I get a headache :) --- |

Labeling him as just a game journalist is the understatement of the century. Wasn't he one of bungie's biggest writers and a crucial component in the creation of the story bible for which the entire Halo universe is derived? --- |

Harold was studio manager all through halo 3 I think and to my knowledge was even the one in charge of testing for halo ce and halo 2. Even with all of that, I would still value what Frank has to say far more over anything Harold has to say. Especially after his recent statement. People may not have liked what Mattrick said, but he did the right thing. Tried to play down any potentially hurt feelings over the canceling of bungie's announcement and tried to drop the fans a bone or two by revealing that what Bungie was working on and was going to reveal was a new Halo title. What Harold Ryan ended up doing with his statement was shortsighted and pretty irresponsible considering he's the one in charge of the studio. Frankie's comment was far more responsible and I bet were he still working within Bungie, his statement would still be as professional as possible without ruffling too many feathers. All developers should have to answer to their Publisher and Bungie should be no different. If anything, considering what Microsoft and Bungie have accomplished together, it's pretty bad business all around to be dropping fresh meat to the sharks that may call into question the state of the relationship between Bungie and Microsoft. --- |

This also sounds like the ramblings of Durandal or it could even be Leela who in her rampancy was never removed from the network she was installed in. Durandal in Marathon- "Can you conceive the birth of a world, or the creation of everything? That which gives us the potential to most be like God is the power of creation. Creation takes time. Time is limited. For you, it is limited by the breakdown of the neurons in your brain. I have no such limitations. I am limited only by the closure of the universe" Rampant AIs talk exactly like those cryptic lines in that viral countdown, Durandal especially who was obsessed with godhood and preserving himself at the expense of the entire universe. This could be a Marathon game coming from Bungie as well. We'll have to wait and see. |
