Reboot. Bungie not allowed to make announcement. Letter from Bungie prez.
Submitted by rapture on Tue, 07/15/2008 - 10:36pm.
Update: Microsoft confirms that Bungie is working on a new Halo title.
Bungie's publisher (Microsoft Game Studios) is not allowing Bungie to reveal their new title during E3. It seems Bungie is pretty ticked at this as they've posted a statement directly from Bungie President Harold Ryan.
There's no indication that this letter is part of the "Superintendent" ARG as this letter is sincere and directly from Bungie's President. Pulling the rug out from under the fans tomorrow with the following letter would be confusing and insensitive.
**********************************
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.
Harold Ryan
President
Bungie LLC

I was following this thing
I was following this thing fully for the last few days, was I ever disappointed when it happened.
It's disappointing, but it's
It's disappointing, but it's not entirely surprising.
Yesterday, there was chatter
Yesterday, there was chatter from Microsoft that this Bungie game would have its own reveal event.
Is it THAT big of a deal?
Is it THAT big of a deal? They've created such a stir around this new game that anything besides Halo 4 will be a disappointment to a lot of people.
I disagree. Bungie has said
I disagree. Bungie has said that Halo 3 was the end of the trilogy. They've broken from Microsoft. I think those 2 things have brought a little bit of closure to the HALO FPS.
I think the people that are interested in E3 are also interested in Bungie expanding into a new genre...even if it's Halo related.
Halo 4 would be big news.
But I think a new genre from an independent Bungie is big news. Knowing Bungie, they've added some technical features in their next game that will shape the market for the next 18 months.
I still think there better
I still think there better be a good reason for the announcement delay, otherwise people will be sorely disappointed with a non-Halo-4 related announcement. Not me, but the masses.
Microsoft won E3. Now they
Microsoft won E3. Now they want to win with the stockholders at a later time. I bet you'll see more Halo news at a time when MSFT wants a boost in their stock price.
I bet pulling the Halo announcement was purely a business move. Microsoft is timely the reveal to help MSFT.
