Subject: What We know About Bungie's Next Project

I don't care. I really don't.

If this Thread can serve its purpose, this will be the place where everybody who knows valuable information about Bungie's next project will pool their information here.

-Just two things before I start: conjecture is okay, just say it is. And no pointless, unbelievable nonsense unless it has a link
-No leaks. That's cheating. Only official information, theories or fact based conjecture.

---So, what do we know?

Tagline:
Per Audacia Ad Astra!
Most pepole think it means "Boldly going to the stars!" or something along those lines, leading many to think this game will be based around space.

Bungie Aerospace:
Aerospace is a thoughy, as many think it might be the game itself, but others think it is the engine that Bungie is creating for the project or a game distributing plan such as Valve's Steam.

Those two small facts are really everything we actually know about this thing as solid fact, and they're just a tagline and a nearly blank website. So, what's the rest of this thread? Well, we can and we will speculate, and hopefully we can put together a very difficult puzzle.

---Theories:
These are theories that have official and reasonable backing within the video game industry.

Sabre Level in Reach:
Although many thought Reach's Sabre mission was incredible, the actual flight parts of the mission were short for the effort and physics used, and it is speculated to have been a test for the engine in the next Project.

MMO:
Many think it will be an MMO due to the amount of people in the video game industry hinting, strongly I might add, that it will be an MMO. However we need more than hints to assume, and Bungie in the past has always favored heavy story games.

Multi-Console:
Although not really a theory and more fact, it has not been officially confirmed by a representative of Bungie or their publisher Activision.

---Complete Conjecture:
This is for theories that may be plausible in the next game, but have no backing of any kind. I have none right now, but when I find some (tell me and I will link):
-I will provide a link to the thread
-If the creator of the thread does not wish me to have such a link in this one, I will remove it as soon as I get the complaint.


-Edit: This is not related to Bungie's next project, but rather the Halo series. Thank you though Corporl Cupcake for noting it.

Right now this is a template, but this hopefully will become an actual information point for the next game that Bungie is creating (that is until Bungie releases the game's project page).

Let the info pooling begin!!!

>>>Plot twist incoming<<<

There's now a countdown on Ilovebees.com I wonder if it has to do with their new game.

Can I just ask what the Ilovebees.com website is, and how it relates to Bungie? Just curious, I've never heard of it before and it seems intriguing!

I am fond enough of bees in strict moderation, however things can get out of hand without proper care and attention.

Interesting...do you think Aerospace will be set in the same time as Halo (but in a different universe/galaxy?)

Perhaps, or maybe the countdown forgot about leap years and is meant to go to March 21, 2553, only 18 days after the monument cutscene at the end of Halo 3.

It was a marketing fad for Halo 2

Ad the countdown is for the time the covenant invades Earth, about 500 years from now.

While im sure that if anyone could pull off a console MMO it is bungie... All hail the supreme Bungie... if it is confirmed that they are developing for Xbox and PS3 then that lowers the chances of it being an MMO, since they have yet to really make their mark on consoles.

I know there have been some MMOs but they are far from mainstream on consoles, but then again maybe Bungie... All Hail the supreme Bungie... knows that and wants to be the first studio to make a main stream MMO for a console. I still think its a long shot on the MMO...

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Multi-Console MMO?

I dont know...

  • 12.08.2010 9:31 AM PDT

My thoughts exactly...

That is what makes the idea that the Sabre levels on reach were just a way to test out the engine, physics, or whatever for their next game, that much more believable. And it is possible that the new game is a MMO with a emphasis on space combat, but meh... i doubt...

About what? This seems like the kinda thing that HAS to be done...

  • 12.08.2010 2:31 PM PDT

So I am assuming those leaks were fake? This 'Tom Morello' guy was right about reach but who says we should believe him?

  • 12.11.2010 6:34 PM PDT

I don't care. I really don't.

The "Aerospace" leaks were not from Tom. One of the biggest out of many tippofs was one of the troopers was from an ODST concept art, and also the compass went 'N', 'I', 'E'. WTF is I? And both compass screens are the exact same.

"I" could've been a divider, in place of NE.
Like if the compass was
W I N I E I S I W
(clockwise from West)

I'm iffy about the screens, but intrigued at the same time. Some elements look so real, the HUD especially (it's so... Bungie-looking), but other are so obviously fake. I'm on the fence.

Bungie representatives said they were fake. Probably because they don't want to be another developer who's making a modern-style game that those screens would imply.

I discovered that a capital A on audacia cause it to mean boldness but lower case it means strong.

By opening the picture in a new tab on Bungie Areospace you can see that it's named enterOverlay. What does this mean?
