No new Bungie game for you! [Publisher and Bungie says update]
covah | 9:23 PM on 07.15.2008 18 comments



Well Bungie, it doesn't seem like it was that bad with Microsoft after all? Remember that countdown on Bungie.net? Yeah well, countdown is no more. Turns out Bungie was going to reveal a brand new game (probably) tomorrow at E3 buuuuuuuut their publisher says "no."

Sucks for us all, but what two bit publisher would not jump at the chance at saying "We have Bungie's new game at E3" no matter what.

Shame on you mystery publisher.

UPDATE:

According to Luke Smith (sorta works for Bungie) on Neogaf, he confirmed two things.
1. Microsoft is still the publisher like they said in the split (I can't believe I forgot about that fact)
2. To the people saying this is a trick it is not Bugnie's "style" of tomfoolery.

Apparently there's been more Bungie staffers saying the same thing about it not being fake, so who knows.

I don't know though. I'll still wait till tomorrow until I don't see anything to confirm.

Yeah, I just spotted this. Seems very bizzare and a bit of a marketing ploy.
This should really be up for discussion.
[b]WHO OWNS BUNGIE?[b]

If not it was obviously someones emergency and last ditch effort to impress at E3 and to use as a safety blanket.
WHO?!?
Same Bat-Channel, same Bat-Time!

At Freker, no one owns Bungie, but someone owns the game.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say this is all part of their pre-announcement antics. This will ensure that more people are aware about and hyped for their new game. In a few hours, this will be all over the biggest gaming sites. Everyone will be talking about it. Isn't that what bungie wants? I still say a new bungie game is being announced tomorrow night.

...but, in the end, this is all just a wild guess

Its on the same page as the countdown, this game'll be announced at the time and its just Bungie fucking with us.

Trust me, Bungie love fucking with their public.

...and if you guys haven't noticed, the letter was posted at exactly 7:00PM. We all know Bungie has been pretty obsessed with the number 7 lately.

I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't announce a new game.
