Bungie has revealed that it is currently at work on a new IP alongside Halo 3: Recon and that the former is not limited by any kind of agreement with reference to specific platforms. Brian Jarrad, the PR director at Bungie has bluntly stated that "No we're not (tied to any specific platform for new IP."


"In theory we do have every means to go out and find the right ecosystem, the right partners, to align with. So who knows what the future will bring us."

However, while that may mean any future non-Halo projects might make their way to Sony or Nintendo platforms, it's not a decision that's been made yet - and the company has praised the social community "synergy" of the Xbox 360 platform.

"For us the 360 has been great because there's just been this great synergy with Bungie because all of our games have this inherent social community aspect," explained Jarrard. "Everything we've ever done has this very big online component - we, together with the Xbox consoles, have continued to push that Live experience, the whole notion of a party experience forward.

"I like to think that we brought a lot of that to the market, and we want to keep iterating on that. In that regard Live has been a great service to us. It's astonishing to look at how well Halo 3 is doing even now, a year after release.

It doesnt matter. They will still overhyoe whatever it is to bits because its Bungie. Theyll have stupid cryptic websites and BS adverticment all for a game when it comes out to be played a couple times and then go on to the next one.

Oh brother, who the hell cares. Put halo on the PS3. MGS4 will work it's way to the XB360 eventually anyway(yep sorry Sony fans). The money that corps can make is too great. Exclusives are the thing of the past. Just make good games, that all we want.


The PC has slowed down because it is easier to code for a dedicated machine than it is to code for PC computers with different hardware and software on them. I know that Direct X was supposed to eliminate a lot of that, but that isn't necessary the case.

I don't see Halo working in the PS3 crowd to be honest. Anyway, a new IP from Bungie on the PS3 sounds pretty good unless they make it multiplatform which quickly drops the quality of what they could produce of they made it exclusively for the PS3.
