Bungie confirms new IP in the works, Halo DLC and more Halo projects.

It's a good read.

 

Hopefully the new IP is Project Phoenix.

 

Project Phoenix is a project Bungie has been "working on" since Halo. It was never under serious development, but they had some working prototypes. It was described only as a "Castle Siege" action game, which sounds like a medieval action-adventure to me.

Of course, it could be anything. The guys at Bungie must have a lot of interesting ideas, so Phoenix could have been conceptually surpassed by other, better ideas.

As for "IP" it stands for Intellectual Property" but in terms of the internet, it's "Internet Protocol".

 

Post in this thread Freeman. Don't be a jackass.

 

**** you busta ass CRASH motha****as den dawg.

 

Now that I am thoroughly disgusted... I'll say I want Bungie's new project to be a third person action adventure game.

 

You haven't had enough Halo after three games? I'm glad the games were made, but frankly, I want something new more than I want another Halo.

 

Well there's still HaloWars and the Peter Jackson project. I think those will last the Xbox360 through the end of it's lifecycle. After that, Bungie might do a Halo project for the Xbox 3 but I really think they should broaden their horizons and get the new IPs churning.

 

Hopefully when they're going to other publishers, they don't just say "We want you guys to make an FPS for us".

They'd be so ruined.

 

Agreed. While they're not working on Halo games, they will get new ideas for Halo, and since they're not desperate for new ideas, they can sift out the ones that are great from the ones that are merely okay. That way, if they ever do another Halo, they will have a selection of great new ideas to implement.

 

I really hope this new IP calls for deeper gameplay than a straightforward shooter. I'd like something akin to Deus Ex.

 

Don't you get the "new IP" concept?
