Is it a desert? To me, the sand looks more like snow. Maybe it's just my computer. But I guess snow doesn't pile up into dunes like that anyway...


It's just not textured. Nothing in the scene is textured.

I mean there's a quick brown material on the windmills and cables connecting them, but nothing more complex than that.

In CG, or game development... Modeling... Gray or white is usually the default color things are when they're not textured.

Looking at it again, that makes sense. I guess I was just caught up in the Mission Icefly crap.

I'm a hybrid....

Am i the only one that thinks the windmills in that one picture seem kinda WWIIish? They remind me of Indiana Jones or something.

I'm getting a retro vibe too, but that's always been Bungie.

Edit: KEEP THIS TOPIC ALIVE, IT IS THE ONLY ONE WORTH SAVING ON THIS CESSPOOL OF A FORUM.

Please. If I hear one more -blam!- complain about retical bloom ONE YEAR AFTER THE FACT.

It doesn't look untextured to me it look rather polished to me. It's just in a desert you don't have too much variety and it's possible that these structures are weathered to the point it's just the bare metal showing. Pending on if these are made of a bronze or iron based metal it could explain it's lack of color.

It seems to me that at one part of the game, we might be in a frozen environment and/or atop a mountain range.

The game seems to be focused on HEAVILY exploration and wandering(throughout the ViDocs I have seen Jason Jones in, he always talks about creating "that early wandering we did in Pathways and in Halo." meaning that there will be boundaries of how to get to each landmark in the game like in Halo CE.

This could be an RTS, MMOFPS, FPS, or something else. My money is that Bungie's new game will re-define the video game genre system as we know it today.

Mark my words...Bungie's new game will be "something else...entirely."

^ I think he meant that the dev team was still finding footing creating games with Pathways and Halo.

No, there's no texture on it.

Trust me dude, I do this.

Texture means a picture that is wrapped around and put on to an object. It's not visible roughness or anything like that.

Well to each their own.

Now for those who wanted higher resolution images of the symbols here ya go...

Destiny Symbol

Dead Orbit Symbol

New Monarchy

Osiris Symbol

Seven Seraphs Symbol

All you have to do is download them and edit them as you wish. I figured people may want to use them for Wallpapers or something else.

My jokes, so I don't lose them (ignore this):
ZedFish's Opinion on Sgt. Foley.
ZedFish's Forerunner Rickroll.

Regarding the blurry pic, I think it's just a Halo picture.
The bottom-right picture has what looks to be the first-person view of the Sniper Rifle, and the top right has what looks to be a Plasma Rifle.

The left-hand pictures I have no idea about.

Did anyone note the mocap footage of a male handing something "maybe important" to a female? The rig looked a bit more refined than the one in the Reach vidocs, so I'm sure it's for "Tiger"

  • 08.05.2011 9:37 PM PDT

Pssst....want a Forge World map?

Wasn't that for the female Noble 6 handing Cortana to Keyes at the end of Halo Reach?

Anyhoo, I'm inclined to agree with the retro flavour suggested by the turbines. Will they go full on steam punk? For some reason though, I'm reminded of a Japanese cartoon series called Oban.

Why would they have lipstick cameras on her face if she was Noble 6?

They only do that when they plan on recreating a facial performance.

I agree that scene must be from the new game. They only started using motion capture for Reach and I don't believe we have seen that scene in Reach.My main question is what being passed to the other person although only bungie can answer that

Seven Seraphs Symbol

All you have to do is download them and edit them as you wish. I figured people may want to use them for Wallpapers or something else.


This may seem far fetched but the symbol in the middle of the Dead Orbit logo looks exactly like the Hebrew letter "Zain" and that is the seventh letter in the Hebrew alphabet.

Search "Zain" in Google Translate in English to Hebrew and it should show you the letter.

I know its dumb, but the "Seven Seraphs" are clearly named after the "Seraphim" from the Jewish bible. Maybe there are more connections? Also there is the "Osiris" thing and the "New Monarchy" thing which to me seem like they are connected with the ancient Egyptians.

Maybe this new game will have something to do with religion? Maybe it will have a reference to the whole Ancient Egyptian-Jewish conflict?

Sorry for the bull-blam!-. Just speculating.

Great work there. Bungie are heavily inspired by the past and myths. I don't believe the game will deeply involve religion though it's still a bit of a dangerous zone for games

Personally I think the way Bungie's new taglines seem to be 'See you STARside' and 'Per audacia ad ASTRA' shouldn't be underestimated. I think they're a small, subtle hint that whatever it is they make will be another space-travel futuristic sci-fi.

Blurry Pic of stuff Bungie doesn't want us to see yet #1


Top left picture is a Jawa Sandcrawler.
Bottom left picture is a floating goldfish.
Top right picture is Cortana sex.
Bottom right picture is Alice in Wonderland, giant mushroom.


You've got a hell of an imagination!

I personally think it will be a FPS MMO game, where you can explore the universe with your buddies and shoot some -blam!- in the face! :D

That doesn't apply here. There's just NO texture on those dunes.

That's actually brilliant.


Plus now I'm SURE the game is going to feature land to space gameplay/ combat, or at least just space gameplay/ combat. I mean they're dropping space hints like no tomorrow and it lines up perfectly with what I noticed in the documentation.


So far here are themes I'm picking up:

Terra forming/ Discovering and exploring new planets

Space travel

political discord directly connected to similar events in the past
_________

Whatever this is gonna be, it sounds amazing already.

....spongy, bungie, who cares? I got mine!

I'm imaging PC game Spore on a superior level. I mean, hell, I thought Spore was pretty damn awesome but a little bit kindergarten.

Maybe if it had some type of Multiplayer and it wasn't a single player game. Maybe Bungie's doing something like that but total MMO.

Why does everyone want MMO? I mean not only has it been publicly stated that the project is NOT an MMO (thank god), but are you really all that deadset on a restrictive world of walking around, grinding and wasting time killing low level fodder, and using some restricted gestures?

Nah, mang. Nah.

I mean it would be interesting, as Bungie seems to (sans Halo) be that company that just wants to dabble in all genres. That's the direction they were going before Halo at least. They're also not interested in making a BORING game, (and I hate to inject my opinion into this), but MMOs are the most boring genre out there.

  • 08.06.2011 10:13 AM PDT

I think it would be pretty sweet if it was a bit like Deus Ex: Human Revolution, because from what I've seen of that game, it looks bloody amazing. Think about it, this amazing RPG style game set over an entire galaxy or even universe, doing jobs for these possible companies, interacting with NPCs or possibly even other players in perhaps a similar way to Fable II. But, uh Ahem, let's not go too overboard.
I would honestly hate an MMO, I would rather play a text based strategy game than an MMO.

Whatever it is, it will undoubtedly be great. I speculate that they will confirm their project late 2012, and there will be some tables turning. Now let's hope Activision doesn't treat Bungie like Infinity Ward.
Fortunately, they can't. Activision only has a publishing deal with Bungie.

Activision owns IW, whereas Bungie is still an independent company.

As for the Tiger project, I'm not sure if it's going to be an MMO, but I think it is going to have a massive game world of some kind.

But if it is an MMO, I hope its free roam, and that it doesn't have some rank or level system that forces you into grinding. "You've reached level 27, you can now use shotguns!" An "anyone can use anything" as long as you can find/buy it would be much more interesting.

Anyways, I think that whatever this new project is, it will be something very different from what Bungie has done before.
