The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Bungie on a PS3 would be incredible.

Has anyone found any statements from MS or Bungie denying this rumor?

When Kotaku asked their

When Kotaku asked their Bungie source they said "Talk to your Edelman rep."

The response from Edelman, Microsoft's PR firm? "There's been no such announcement. We continue to celebrate the tremendous success of the global phenomenon that is Halo 3."

Certainly aren't denying the rumor.

Game Informer says:

"Our source stated that Bungie is tired of Making Halo, and didn't want to do future Halo games. For an unstated, but significant amount of money, Bungie shareholders bought the studio name back from Microsoft. Our source also revealed that even though Microsoft will retain the rights to Halo, Microsoft also has the right of first refusal on future games This means that Microsoft has the first shot at publishing Bungie's future titles. How this will come into play if Bungie decides they want future game X to appear on the PlayStation 3 and Wii alongside an Xbox 360 release will make things quite interesting."

It's not looking too good

It's not looking too good for Halo Nation. Where are the reports denying this? Surely these rumors are not helping stock prices, right?

"Our source stated that Bungie is tired of Making Halo, and didn't want to do future Halo games."

I'm tired of getting up and going to work in the morning. But it pays the bills and it's going to shorten my lifespan.

As long as Bungie gets to make great games, I'm happy.

Bungie did bring the lead

Bungie did bring the lead from Ghost Recon onboard a month or 2 ago. Sounds like they are headed in a different direction. I guess i could understand breaking off from a company that provides security and endless monetary support...and not to mention working on the biggest franchise ever in gaming.

Then if they make a game

Then if they make a game worth buying a PS3 for, I'll get a PS3. Otherwise, I'll just classify the game in the same category as MGS4 (i.e. worth getting if you own the system, but not worth buying the system for).

Reminds me of Linkin Park.

Reminds me of Linkin Park. Tired of producing the same old stuff that the whole world goes crazy for? Switch things up. Make some weird shit. Nobody will like it, but you'll feel good about yourself.

I think I'm the only person on earth who liked the latest Linkin Park CD.

No, I heard about a guy in Australia that likes it too, so there's two of you.

Yeah. We've been talking

Yeah. We've been talking aback and forth about it since it came out. I think we hoped there were more of us out there, but deep down, we knew we were the only ones.
