Subject: Bungie Working on STEAMPUNK game?

As you noticed on the recent post by Urk by several posts in this forum, there were two unusual blimp shapes near a Spartan with blue flames, take a look: http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid= 31731

Well, it's a possibility that connects to a steampunk game (think Bioshock Infinite, possibly even Firefly).

From a post at Gamespy: http://ps3.gamespy.com/articles/117/1175808p1.html

"The anonymous Internet information sleuth known as Supererogatory has uncovered a new morsel on Bungie's next project that's sure to get the gears of one particular fan base turning: It appears Bungie's anticipated game will include some steampunk stylings.

Up to this point, we've heard rumors that Bungie's first non-Halo game since Oni will be a sci-fi MMOFPS called Destiny. Supererogatory added to the possible details when he came across a post on a steampunk forum, Seattle Steamrats, requesting that fans of the genre go to a June 3 event at Bungie "in steampunk finery to have photos taken for video game artwork for a steampunk game currently in development."

http://www.dailyjoypad.co.uk/?p=15214 -- for some reason can't post anything except that link, check it out, it talks about the factions in Bungie's new game.

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

I sure hope it isn't, I hate that crap. I'll have to disown Bungie.

Urk I think said they were not making a steampunk game.

  • 06.13.2011 9:40 PM PDT

That may possibly be true, @Sniffy66, you can't deny those are zeppelins on the front page. As I noted at the bottom of my post, there will be at least four factions -- one of them could be a steampunk faction, while another more advanced, like Halo, and so on.

I said they weren't working on a fully steampunk game. Never said they wouldn't incorporate steampunk designs into it.

Welcome to bungie, you have no rights. play nice!
CLICK!

It's their way of being jerks to 343i.

Vic DeLeon, ex-bungie employe now at 343i, tweeted to me, @erickyboo it's sad isn't it? I left at the right time.

So yeah.

  • 06.13.2011 10:05 PM PDT

I don't think that's true, but it seems like Vic DeLeon doesn't have a sense of humor.

Urk tweeted this: From Fauxtaku (a play on Kotaku, a real game site) BREAKING: After Bungie finishes rumored Steampunk series, 343 will take the reins and turn it into Steamgrunge.

Vic DeLeon tweeted: Bitter much? Why would you retweet that Urk?

Urk: You know I love you, Vic. Much success to you and the team at 343. You gotta admit that Fauxtaku brings the lols, though.

DeLeon: Yeah yeah, keep it clean astronaut.

Wow, I never knew there was any kind of bad blood between Bungie and 343, but I think it comes from the fact there Bungie/Jason Jones wanted to move on. People don't like change. One of the main weapon designers, Jaime Griesemer, said he left after having a fallout with Jones and Bungie. We don't know who the whole story, but I hope Bungie hasn't changed. I just hope their employees are happy.

Not really. Your mom is over quite enough to make my fears mute.

Being alone.
You're a mod, you should be used to that.

Bungie's a little more creative then a steampunk game.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Ironically, he sounds pretty bitter. I doubt going to 343 Industries is going to change much.

Irritated, as I am.
In a loby with four other people with Bungie nameplate. Funny, in the update, you can see in their tweets Rukizzel, we're discussing how I noticed he was there.
We're going to go play infection right now.

Error 404:
-Error not found.

It must be Bungie Aerospace... right?

  • 06.13.2011 11:18 PM PDT

question everything...truth has no pedigree

Firefly is steampunk? Shut up.

Spesifically to you?

  • 06.13.2011 11:28 PM PDT

@wu haoxuan Seriously, dude. Learn some manners.

Firefly ISN'T steampunk, but it IS sci-fi with technology that isn't modern, but actually coming from the Old West. Steampunk also deals with technology that isn't modern.

I know everyone wants to raise their voice to 11 just so they can be heard, but it's uncalled for.

  • 06.14.2011 1:08 AM PDT

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

If they go in that direction. I can't wait.

As long as they don't pull a WW-II styled game, I'm happy.

  • 06.14.2011 1:57 AM PDT

I wonder if Aerospace won't be specifically tied to the game, I think, but possibly the HUB for everything involving the world. So you'll have Bungie.net which is about Bungie, news updates on the company, forums -- but maybe Aerospace is a platform for where news from the fictional game universe will come from, where you'll find out info from the game world. Cerberus Network kinda did something similar in Mass Effect 2.

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

I'm not sure I get the negative reactions to steampunk... It's almost like it's over-done? I'm just glad they're not doing 'OMFGBBQ SUPAR MODURN WARFARE ITS LIKE REALZ YAH'. I am getting fed up of ADS military shooters.

They sure have had their cyperpunk stylings in the past, so I don't see it as unreasonable. I'm quite interested to see what they do.

i think that's hilarious. AND i'm looking forward to see Halo in it's grunge-days...

EDIT - steampunk or space-cowboys.. i'd be fine with both.

Well, today I learned there's some friction between 343 and Bungie. I always assumed the employees of each company got on well, although I found the Urk tweet pretty funny. Vic DeLeon needs to get a sense of humour.

Anyway, the Steampunk rumor has now been shot down, which I'm kinda glad to hear.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Does Fallout count as Steampunk? Because I love that but I can't stand Bioshock.

  • 06.14.2011 5:06 AM PDT

It would go with their Retro-futuristic (which steampunk comes under) style rocket icon.

It's not like 343 is picking up the reins of Halo.

Steampunk is cool
