not ur fault but i'm angry

  • 07.16.2008 12:35 PM PDT

This is a fine way to say "**** you" from your publishers to bungie fans. How long was that timer up for? And how long till they decide to force you guys to withhold the info? atleast a day. Even if they did just decide around 7 surely they would of known what would happen? making the fans mad isn't a good way to get sales. I'm not saying Im mad but after what happen last night on the forums last night it loks like alot of fans are : /

So um Luke any info on when I get my steak dinners or atleast one : (

  • 07.16.2008 12:35 PM PDT

Smug Dark Loser, this is for real. Not everything that comes out of Luke's mouth is complete garbage. Bungie employees do not lie. They just tease and this is obviously not a tease.

I still think Bungie is gonna pull something out and surprise us. Why else would they have the super intendant and all his nonsense? I think they did this to make us feel disappointed and hype up more, then they are going to release something MASSIVE and catch us off guard. I know what Luke says, i know what the President Said, but i just dont believe it, its too...iffy.

But your a LLC you dont have a publisher, your independent. right?
If i have my info right I believe it is like this. A Game studio is like an author. To get their product out it needs to be published and I believe the publisher helps fund the game in development as well. However i do not know for sure so I could be completely wrong about that.

I think Random House is the new project's publisher, but I may be wrong.

Sucks it had to be this way. What a horrible way to launch a game...

That's what I've been saying from the beginning, and how I knew this cancellation was real. The guys at Bungie tease, hint, and tempt us all the time, but they have NEVER lied to us.

  • 07.16.2008 12:38 PM PDT

This is epically uncool. I'm considering staying off of Live until this decision is reversed and Microsoft issues an apology. To this end, I'm also hoping some serious backlash will ensue on the xbox.com message boards.

Dead Mans Hand-Always Loaded.

I WAS SOCK

Ok, so tell me how you feel, but I think its complete bs that M$ did this to Bungie, and all of its fans. I mean, If you read the update on the main page, basically you can read that Bungie is pissed, but cant say much about it, just because its M$... The fans on the other hand, can always back them up. I think we need to speak up for Bungie. They put all this thought and hard work into getting this presentation together, and at the last minute, M$ decides, eh, never mind. This doesn't only make all the time and work they put into this a waste, it makes them look bad because they had hyped it up to the fans so much. They had many of us up all night just looking for every clue possible, and stretching the guess work very VERY far lol... But the truth is, they deserve more apologies than any of us, and i think we need to let M$ know that they owe Bungie a major one.

Awww! I was convinced this was still part of the fun, and there was going to be some kind of 'Superintendent takes over the system' type thing, but alas. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when Bungie got told, I suspect the public won't ever know exactly why the ARG was pulled at the 13th hour; it's a bit of an embarassment for MS, frankly.

  • 07.16.2008 12:39 PM PDT

Hmm... amusing... yes...

Bah, its because everyone fears the awesomeness that is bungie and its community and any announcement made by bungie would take away the intensity of E3 as a whole and focus it on this announcement and no other games will be noticed.

remember, fear is a sign of respect

  • 07.16.2008 12:39 PM PDT

RedRaptor, they didn't know that the announcement wouldn't go as planned. All that SI stuff was going to lead up to the announcement this morning. The reason that splash page went up was for the lack of Bungie appearance at the Microsoft E3 Press Conference. The whole "EXPECT DELAYS" thing was meant as that.

Bungie probably didn't reveal what they had because Microsoft had Bungie prepare in case Nintendo or Sony had huge E3 press briefings with some big surprise announcement. If you saw both conferences yesterday, they sucked compared to Microsoft's (Sony's was alright but Nintendo's was an epic fail). Microsoft didn't need to pull out the big guns this time. Gears, Final Fantasy, Fallout, and Fable were enough..its sort of like..Why waste the ammo..?

Average player, doing average stuff.

"anachronistically"

Hey I learned a new word today. Who says video games don't teach you anything?

I totally agree, i was so pumped, fricking stupied Mircosoft, but when you do show us, it better be good, now that were waiting longer

  • 07.16.2008 12:41 PM PDT

Snakie Purple.

"Hamdog, Hamdog, Hamdog, Hamdog"-Hamdog.

Twatter

So this is my gues how it went down.

Last year

Bungie:Can we haz indepenence?

Micro$oft:Sure.

This year:
Bungie:Were gonna release info on a new game nao pl0x.

Micro$oft: No, you not part of Micro$oft, so you can't, oh, and **** you.

Bungie:>3

Micro$oft: By the way, we just announced what you were in one sentence.

Bungie:0.0 Sadface...



Micro$oft must really hate Bungie, they let Bungie build the hype then at the end they cut it off and release all the info in a short, crappy sentence. Boo Micro$oft

This will not go over well with the community.

Well by my it might be a bluff theory, they're doing as they said they would: take this from the last weekly update:
Future Tense

As a reader, I can only imagine just how frustrating it is to not have any new information just yet. Rest assured, dear vengeful, hypertense reader many things are in motion. Many things. These numerous things include the following:

"Major changes to the Halo 3 Online experience
Sweet Announcements
Poignant Clarifications
Certain-point-of-view Truths
Things you will love
Things you will argue about
Things you will make angry videos about "

I'm not saying that it is one way or the other, I'm just saying that a bluff is a possibility
Gamespot has a thing at 7 (4pacific) with a new unannounced 360 game. We'll definately no by then. The irony of the SI makes me question it all.
Perhaps it'll be a puzzle/ false reality game if my bluff theory is right? lol
