Gearbox President Indicates Unannounced Project Isn't Halo 4

MTV Multiplayer writes:

"Pitchford started teasing this "big-ticket" project back in February, saying that it's "big" and he couldn't "oversell this one." Immediate speculation pointed to "Halo 4," given Bungie's newfound independence. Yu's move to Microsoft only fueled the rumors.

"We are really excited about Corrinne joining Microsoft!" said Pitchford in an e-mail earlier today. "I expect her to bring a lot of passion and inventiveness on that side. I think there is a lot of value for everyone for this transition."

Pitchford dropped a number of hints about this "big-ticket" game to me.

So, we now know Gearbox's hidden project is a shooter - shock! - but Pitchford also implies it's a multi-platform project. That doesn't sound like "Halo 4? to us. While that doesn't mean Gearbox won't work on the next "Halo," this particular project doesn't appear to be it..."
