So, what I just realized is that bungieaerospace.com is registered SPECIFICALLY as a business website.

And the mystery continues...

I still like the idea of it being something to do with a game engine like UDK.


Yup, I'm defo with you there... somehow everyone seems to think it's an ARG or something, but like I said earlier this makes more sense. I suppose it's not really gonna strike people as a tech solution if they don't develop games. There was no coherent technology between titles until 3/ODST/Reach. It makes sense that while they have the time that they should develop something that will make them millions in it's own right, while also launching their next IP. I mean, they're going to be building new tech anyway.

Nowadays there is no point (nor is it practical) developing an engine from the ground up as it's all based on a time/money ratio. The more time, the more money- the more money, less time. Either way very few developers can afford to get a AAA engine together in the typical 18 months, support multiple formats AND still have the manpower left over to make a game, unless of course the tech is to be licenced. Almost every modern game runs on middleware components (rendering, physics, etc.) or complete middleware engines.

It's a hugely profitable business, and if Bungie can pull off a truly unique set of features and workflow solution (which they will), they will become the industry leader in a couple of years.

UDK is freakin' awesome... working with it now and it really does just tear apart anything else available to the budget of the hobbyist or indie dev, even if Epic do want 25%, it's a million dollar engine. And for most, the sky really is the limit with it. We've cut about a good 6 months off our own indie project by switching, instead of continuing with our open source work.

The new title is probably only just creative concept as of now. Most likely it'll be another 2-3 years before we get to see anything, and at that point it'll be probably a on a new platform... Which means the PS3 will either be out of the picture or will receive a lower quality version of the 'Xbox720' version. Love them or hate them, Microsoft are going to have at least 2 years on Sony this time around, because Sony simply can't afford to release another console as soon as Moneysoft can. I reckon X-Mas 2012 is a good bet, with some details mid-to-end of next year. Only a fool (Sony) would try and flog the current gen for any longer.

It's 3:43 here... The universe is telling me i'm right. :D

Just had a thought. Maybe they are rebranding themselves as Bungie Aerospace for the new IP and further projects so it isnt associated so much with the Halo franchise and bungie.net.

Bungie.net will be pretty cluttered if a brand new game was added including all the stat tracking etc. Halo is its own beast owned by Microsoft so a newish name (which is still obviously Bungie) would differenciate between the two and make things easier.

Somebody showed me the Scarab Gun in Halo 2 once.
I was like WHOA DUDE, WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA
Then I sorta blanked out in a red haze and when I came to, everyone was dead.

*Sniff sniff*

I smell another Bungie game cooking. Or is that yesterday's potato salad?

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

I think the game is hidden back behind the potato salad... no one would think to look there.

It looks interesting, probably just a extra add on to Bungie.net!

My money is on it having something to do with whatever they show at E3.

Wow! "Per audacia ad astra" (being the Latin nerd that I am) is tranlsated as "To the stars through courage." (Audacity or daring would also fit)

There's endless possibilities on what it could be.

All I know, it most likely will be kick ass.


I think we can safely agree to that :)

  • 05.18.2010 12:29 PM PDT

Oh yeah, I remember that Grognok thing.

Now, the main question is, is this an ARG or is Bungie seriously getting into the aerospace business....hmmmm....

Stuff might be going down right now. Whenever I try to access Grognok.com, it won't connect to anything and Firefox says that "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."

I'm going to be checking in on it throughout the day.

EDIT: It returned to normal after about 15 minutes, boo :(

Bungie Aerospace has a cool color layout. I like orange.

Watch it be a launch site for some sort of Marathon of Duty.
