Say it ain’t so: Gears of Halo?
You might remember Quartermann from back when you actually bought game magazines and cared about them. Anyway, in the new issue of EGM, the infamous rumor mongerer who is known for accuracy has this to say about teh n3w Ha10:
“After shipping last fall’s blockbusting Halo 3, revered developer Bungie stunned the world by announcing plans to liberate itself from Microsoft’s ownership. Allegedly, that path to freedom requires that they develop a few more titles for Microsoft, and we’ve heard rumblings that the first one will be a Halo spin-off due in late 2009. Our spies tell us to expect a third-person action/adventure shooter hybrid that takes place before the original Halo, chronicling early skirmishes between the ODST troops and the Covenant. This may or may not be the oft-mentioned “Peter Jackson Halo Project” — though apparently Microsoft is hiring a seperate team for that — but WETA is definitely involved in some capacity. Look for a massive reveal around the time Gears of War 2 ships this fall…”
Thanks to 1up for the dish.
Why can’t we just get Halo Tournament? You know - put all that single player effort into a bad-ass multiplayer only title.
