Bungie's next game is either going to be a FPS or RTS. That's what I got from the ViDoc. I have some experience making games myself through the Unity game engine and I know how hard it is to start over and make a completely different type of game.

(there is a TL/DR version in the last paragraph)

I mean since the beginning Bungie had been creating FPS games. And they did have a successful RTS game Myth, but after perfecting the game we know and love Halo, why not make it better? I mean if they made another amazing and unique FPS game, I would go buy that instead of another Halo title, because I know how Halo is, I know how it is going to play out, so I might as well rent it return it, and buy the next Bungie game.

Bungie already knows through experience, how to make a FPS. They made the best damned AI I've seen, and they let you Co-Op everything! Coding for a single player experience compared to coding for an entirely cooperative/multiplayer experience is much harder because you have to be able to send EVERYTHING going on your screen to EVERYONE else's screens too! The thing is Bungie (IMO) is the master of the FPS genre, why not top themselves, top Halo, and be at the top of the food chain once more!

If Bungie does decide to go the RTS genre, which they have been successful in with Myth, they will have to compete with the likes of Starcraft! If they can defeat Blizzard's game in sales, that would have to take a miracle if you ask me. It would have to literally be a game changer in the right direction. I really don't know much about Myth, or hell anything in the RTS genre because I don't even play it much if ever. So this is why I highly doubt Bungie will make an RTS (not because I don't play those games, because of the LARGE fanbase of Starcraft).

If Bungie goes down the route of an action RPG, the game would have to be something groundbreaking. It would have to either be a shooter or a something like Shadowrun. You would be able to play your character from Campaign mode and be able to fully customize their looks, fighting style (shooter, melee, magic?), and equipment. That way it would be a mix of something like Diablo, where through the campaign you get VERY different types of armors and weapons and level yourself up the way you see fit, and Mass Effect or Halo for the level of action and epicness.

(TL/DR below)

This is what I guess the game will be. I mean they always seem to like to say "See you starside" and Bungie's story as a company has always been the guys who started from the basement and worked themselves up to the stars. I mean who will forget Bungie! Maybe our great-great grandkids lol, but hey they built themselves up from the basement up! Why can't we do the same in their next game? That's why the RPG may seem plausible. But if Bungie wants to compete with Microsoft and shake their fist to the man, they'll make an FPS game. And if Bungie wants to TRULY suprise us, they'll make a RTS that will be a gamechanger.

So what do you guys think? Any criticism on my opinions? Discuss!

I don't care what type it is as long as you play in First person view.

Call me crazy but I believe the next Bungie game is going to be called StarSide. I don't know why.

Starside is... Not really... Suited (My opinion). I would think something like... Destiny: Be Brave (From all the trademarks they have filed).
