Bungie's Unnamed Title: Gen. Discussion - The weirdness continues.

[quote name='Wolve11']so does this mean that if a new Halo comes out it'll be on both 360 and PS3?[/QUOTE]

ummm, no. MS owns everything about Halo as it was part of the agreement for Bungie to go independent

No. Halo is Microsoft's Mario. They own that trademark independently.
 
The main page at Bungie is back to normal. If they really are pulling a viral stunt they're taking it to the extreme, although it looks like the message was legit.

The new Halo game will be cool though.

You don't know how developers and publishers work, do you? Not all, or even most developers own the games they're working on.

Also, the bigger issue is that Microsoft is still publishing Bungie games. That's why I don't get their independence claim.
 
This was just put of by Bungie:

As upset and frustrated as we know folks are, we hope it's at least a small comfort that our fans know we share their disappointment. A metric ton of man hours went into getting something ready to show and it's disappointing to not be able to share it. But, the upside is that it's all stuff you'll still see further down the road.

As much as fans wanted to believe otherwise, this is in fact, the truth and not a cruel hoax or prank. E3 is winding down and there are no plans to make a surprise announcement later this week.

Top Questions we've received on this matter:

1. OMG! The announce was posted at 7! This is all part of the plan.

The news was broken to us shortly before 7 p.m. and we decided to keep with tradition to make a clean break.

2. Why leave the splash page up if it's not happening?

We left the splash page up for the folks who didn't see the message or were planning on tuning in the following morning before the news vanished into Bungie.net's ether.

3. But Harold Ryan is only a TESTER this has to be fake!

Harold was a tester, but assumed the position of President a while ago. Crazy Wiki's and their misinformation.

A couple of far lower priority side effects of us not making our announcement are that the Podcast we recorded and the E3: Livin' the Dream mockumentary Sketch and I were filming have hit some snags. The Podcast will be filed away in the "archives" and will be anachronistically released at a later date. The video experience, E3: Livin' the Dream, cannot be salvaged at this time.

For their freedom Bungie arranged a deal that the first few games they developed would be for MS. They've stated before that they've had good experiences developing for the 360 and would continue to as an Indie developer.

Damn, I'd actually like to see that video get finished as-is now. A documentary with a bad ending is still a documentary, and would get just as much attention as it would have before all this, if not more.
