Subject: Why is it taking so long for bungie to announce their new game?

Posted by: Homeboyd903
Uh, my uncle works for Bungie and he said no to E3.
Oh, how I miss this from the Halo 3 days.

I wouldn't mind it being E3, but I want it to be perfect. Before 2013 would be nice.

Big claim. No proof.

OT, no one knows why they are waiting so long, but I think it's to avoid the prehype a lot of games get nowadays. Look at Mass Effect and Reach. People hyped both of these games up to a ridiculous level and were disappointed in the end. Halo Reach is an excellent game. Mass Effect 3 is an excellent game. Both just had too much talk beforehand.

They'll announce it when they're ready. Who knows, they may announce something at E3? In any case, I, as I'm sure the rest of the community, await anxiously for Bungie's new game.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

This is standard operating procedure for Bungie. Hell, everyone knew they had been making Halo 3 since Halo 2 was released, but they didn't announce it til E3 2 years later. Bungie is just secretive like that. I'd imagine they're waiting until they're happy with whatever they're going to show, and have everything in place that they think they need to control the info. There may be something to the "building suspense" theory, but I learned long ago not to expect much info on Bungie games until Bungie is ready to give it up. Its just how they've always worked.

I think they're also nervous about what happened to them during the Halo2 demo. They made an awesome level to show it off to everyone at E3 (I think it was E3), but couldn't actually get it in the game. They caught a lot of flak for that. Maybe they want to make sure every variable is in order before putting themselves out there.

E3 is in 3 months well close to bungie day so they can release on their site with none of us expecting what is to come. Whie e3 requires registeation etc. that shall release a little with people trying to get to final product that will get leaked.

  • 03.21.2012 1:21 PM PDT

If everyone suspects it would be at E3, and they know, they might ( they as in Bungie) might do it earlier or later to surprise people and catch them off guard.

  • 03.21.2012 1:40 PM PDT

Who the hell do you think I am?

Maybe it's because they're busy working on it?

Just a thought.

Maybe there isn't going to be a new game. Maybe that's the big secret.

They will probably not announce their game, then release the game without any advertising. :P

Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."

I'm going to say whenever they are ready. I rather have a totally awesome game where my mind is blown and wait for it than to have it in my lap now and it totally sucks. So I say patience. Also I have been keeping myself busy a lot so it helps, like coding my own games and such, plus playing chess. Whatever to keep my mind occupied till BUNGiE decides their game is ready for a demo and is close to fruition.

IF I HAD to predict when, I would guess sometime later this year or early next year...POSSIBLY. It all depends on how far along they are and how comfortable they are with it.

  • 03.21.2012 7:21 PM PDT

I can see it being Bungie Day this year, for a few reasons:

- On the cards they sent out to seven people, it said they will be utilized on "Bungie Day, and not a day earlier"
- Their deal with Activision -which, I'm sure, included Destiny prep- started almost 2 years ago, and they released their last game a year and a half ago.
- They mentioned in the Brave New World Vidoc (or somewhere) that they would be using the Reach Engine in their next IP. This would cut SOME time out of the process.

Just some thoughts.

Stosh eats all the bagels, therefore the other 199 Bungie employees are starving and cannot continue their work.

.... Stosh is the 1%.


.... I blame Stosh.

Bungie just wants to show off the finite things, the stuff that won't get cut.

At this point (and earlier) there is just so much that they might want to have in the game but there's a possibility that it may get cut. Imagine if they told you that in the new IP you could make a video clip in-game, edit it, and then put it up on Youtube. Then later they they tell you they had to cut it. How disappointed would you be? It's basically not being able to fulfill their promise of an expectation.

They need the proper platform or nobody will care.

I think something's new like Bungie it's gonna be more amazing that Halo, plus for 343 it's still unknown. But yeah, it's gonna be nerve wreacking.

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

My theory? They hate us with the burning passion of a thousand suns.
