Bungie will rule 2012. Why, you ask? Bungie is genius. How? Saving off until a 2012 Fall release for their new IP. Bungie knew how big the games were in Q4 of 2011, they want us to enjoy these great games by going dark and having no involvement whatsoever so by the time we play all these up and coming awesome games, and the wow factor has eventually settled down, Bungie will appear out of nowhere and make a huge scene. First weekly update after the "dark ages" will turn up around December-January with a welcome back and an explanation of their involvement in 2012 (possible announcement OR ARG, with an official announcement a month later?) From what I've seen, only a few slightly decent games have been officially announced for 2012, opening up Bungie's big chance at the kings of 2012 gaming. Expect Bungie to bounce back and be a household name next year.

You heard it hear first.

Mass Effect 3 would like a word. And Halo 4...hopefully.

You make it sound like Bungie had the option to release the game this year and instead chose to wait an extra year, something I highly doubt.

No but they had an option when to release Reach. They've been working on their new IP before then, pretty sure.

I think Bungie would rather use their time and knowledge to make their game so kickass people buy it over others, than spend those resources thinking of the best possible time to release it.

There's no other games being released next year?

This is news to me.

Don't -blam!- with Kerser!

Bungie said they are completely phasing out support for Bungie Pro on March twenty something. So i guess they have something planned for around then.

It is not an MMO, Go read the job listing descriptions.

The new IP. It's 1st person. Open world and Future set, it also has multiplayer with different gametypes and your player earns money in-game with some sort of economy system, and you will be able to have a selection of items in an inventory. Thats all i got out of the job offer descriptions.

I <3 you too Bungie

Do you guys really think Bungie will announce a new game for Fall 2012? I'm kinda skeptical. I'm thinking more like 2013.

If I had to guess, we'll see some form of teaser trailer at the Spike Video Game Awards. They've used it as a method of displaying game content before and I honestly think if they are aiming for fourth quarter 2012 as a launch window that it'd serve as a good way to get people geared up and interested before nailing them with an explosion of content at E3 2012.

Right now, they'll remain quiet simply because a new IP deserves a proper reveal that can only truly happen at trade shows when people are very interested and gamers are really watching. It'd be a shame to have a reveal slip through the cracks due to bad release timing. Hence why I think we'll see it at the Spike Video Game Awards. Plus, I believe at least one interview caught them saying we won't hear about it until well after Reach is out of their hands toward the end of the year. Could be wrong about that though.

We were somewhere around Barstow...

There will be as many big games in Q4 2012 as Q4 2011. Saying that, I hope it is 2012. Can't wait to see what it's all about.
