Subject: E3 Announce

For the last several months, we've been building toward a reveal of something exciting that Bungie is working on. We were looking forward to sharing that with our fan community during the week of E3. However, those plans were just changed by our publisher.

We realize that many of our fans are disappointed by this turn of events; members of the Bungie team share that disappointment.

When the right time comes, we look forward to sharing this exciting announcement with you. Until then, we appreciate your continued support and patience.

I read that on joystiq Hunter...... :sadface: :frown:


Anyway it is confirmed they are making another Halo game, so that is good enough for me.

[Advocate]

who's their publisher?

ohhhh ....

X'08.

**glares at JP.**

See E3 doesn't matter to development houses anymore and publishers.

E3 sucks and E for All is a disaster.

WTF....someone dropped the ball :flat:

[Conjoshus]

I thought part of the release agreement is Microsoft has first dibs on publishing ANY title Bungie makes. If they don't want it, then Bungie can open the floor to other Publishers.

If this was about the Halo game, Microsoft owns it anyway...

Although it appears you enjoy wasting your time as you posted in a thread about the Halo franchise. Hmmm......

So he thinks good fun co-op play with friends is a waste of time. :(

The reason it wasn't announced?


Even the L.A. Times is caught up in Bungiegate – and it's getting (some) answers. The paper spoke with Xbox senior VP Don Mattrick, who told its writers that Microsoft decided to omit the announcement of the next Halo universe game from its pre-E3 press conference ... to save time.

As the story goes, Microsoft's presser was originally planned to run two-and-a-half hours, but Mattrick wanted to get it down to under 90 minutes. For some reason, a Halo game was cut to make way for such content (what Mattrick is quoted as calling "an embarrasment of riches") as the needlessly long (and silly) live demo of You're In The Movies. We're sure it wasn't cut because it would have taken attention away from Final Fantasy XIII for 360. Oh no. Never.

When do we get to see it, then? "We felt we could do this game more justice with a more dedicated event," Mattrick said in the L.A. Times piece. Given that Bungie was ready to rock with an announcement on Tuesday, we're guessing that it would prefer ... soon.

The reason it wasn't announced?


So we are talking X08 like Advocate was saying????


I would think another reason would be that the new Bungie game won't be ready until next year sometime. MS has focused mostly on games that are coming in the next few months at the last two E3's. Of course FF XIII is a different story altogether so I understand why they would announce that.


Either way we will here soon from Bungie.
