Bungie: New Ip to be “even better” than Halo

Wolfdog — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 21:23:37 +0000

While talking on their new ip, Bungie revealed that they are going to make sure that their new ip, which is published by Activision, will be even better than Halo.

“We’re in a really strong position with, I think, a lot of really good plans,” writer at the studio Joe Staten states.

“This is an opportunity for us to try to do it all again, but even better and bigger this time.”

“We weren’t focused on just signing a deal to ship a game,” he said. “It’s really about signing a deal for a long-term partnership, to create any gaming experience that makes sense in this universe.”

“If we look back 10 years ago, we only wish we had this kind of foresight. At that time, we were terrified about shipping a single title for launch for a new platform on time. To be honest, we weren’t thinking too much beyond that.”

Wolfdog — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 13:30:38 +0000

In the upcoming sixth episode of Destructoid‘s Bit Transmission Podcast, Capcom’s Seth Killian was asked about what might be next for Mega Man. Killian replied with an unexpected tease as he said that the series still has “some surprises in store for everybody.”

“It’s good. I don’t want to say nobody has seen it coming. Somebody may have seen it coming. But it excited me and when I heard about the project, I was like, ‘Holy crap. That’s rad.’ I actually haven’t seen anything that’s going on with the project right now but the idea was exciting.

This is still kicking around as a concept. But there are exciting ideas in the Mega Man space.”

Followers will be able to hear the full interview with Seth when Bit Transmission releases next Wednesday over at Destructoid.

Thanks, Destructoid.

Bungie: 3 Million people expected to play Reach beta

Wolfdog — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 20:17:11 +0000

Bungie community manager Brian Jarrard stated that the studio expects at least 3 million people to play the Halo: Reach Beta when it kicks off in a week-and-a-half from now.

“My expectation is it could be upwards of 3 million people,” said Jarrard to The Seattle Times in an interview. “I think that’s a fairly conservative estimate. Certainly there will never be a console beta of this magnitude.”

In the interview, Chris Carney, multiplayer design lead, added that the game’s near enough done.

“It’s pretty close to done,” he said. “We still absolutely will tweak things after the beta, based on all [stat] information.”

Halo: Reach is due for release this fall with the Multiplayer beta set to start on May 3 on Xbox Live.
