I like Peter Jackon. I like him better than that Peter Jackson guy. He is getting on my nerve with that overhyped Halo thing ...

From the hints Bungie have dropped about their next project. It seems to be something entirely new.

@Snuffbox: Hey, The Frighteners is a favorite of mine, too, although I think Doc Hollywood may be my favorite M. J. Fox movie.

On topic, I think Bungie will retain enough creative control so that things don't get too far outta hand. But it also sounds like they've got a pretty good idea of what P.J. has in mind, so I don't think the integrity and consistency of the Halo universe is in any danger.

As someone else said though, if this is to be a prequel title, how prominently will "Halo" actually fit into the mythos, since before H1, the ringworlds were unknown to the UNSC.

I'm still hoping for a game where I can play as the Covenant, and not just the Arbiter.

"Coming Soon: Halo: Grunt Wars. I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Food nipples for everyone!

@DigitalHero: What the hell? How much money did Halo cash in? What do you mean 'for their sakes'...?

I think you ment for OUR sakes ;)

@snk429:

The Frighteners too- its my favorite Michael J. Fox film. Yeah, I like it better than Back to the Future. Blasphemy, I know :)

@snk429: Ah, Halo posts. If it's not outright flames, there's at least the "I hate Halo but..." prefaces. Means a lot to know that, really.

Interesting Bungie didn't kill the EGM rumor outright. And thats a mad dumb Hornet I see there.

Peter Jackson does have a few great movies: Braindead (DeadAlive), and Bad Taste

@DigitalHero:

What company makes original titles anymore?

I'm about to pick up the 6th Mario Kart, the 11th GTA, and probably picking up Madden #20, GH #5,6, and 7(If DS counts!), and more titles this year.

It's not that I don't play games that aren't part of a series, but most "good games" start to get boring after 2 or 3 of them :(

IE: Katamari Damacy.

I hope Bungie is working on an original title for their sake.

I'm starting to let the idea of a sequel in third-person stew in my mind a little more, and I'm liking the possibilities every minute. Namely, I'm imagining Spartan training on Reach.
With that, they wouldn't need much shooter elements until later in the game, but they'd need some platformer experience...

Sorry to say, folks, but it seems that Bungie's been brought in and they've been put in charge of the "Library Sequence".
