A "next-gen" Halo in the works

TVGB: "Microsoft's internal Halo studio, 343 Industries, is working a new Halo game. And not just another Halo game, a Halo game for the "next generation Xbox platform" - and we're guessing (hoping?) Microsoft doesn't consider a Natal-enabled Xbox 360 as a next-gen platform."

You guys are a bit late. Yes, it's called Halo: Reach. Unless, they mean for the next gen consoles?

They mean next-gen consoles. This'll probably be in development for another 3+ years. Too bad Bungie isn't doing this, I hope this doesn't fail.

A new Halo just for Natal i think, it was just a rumor about it a while back.

That's great news! Give Halo a rest for a while and then come back with something that will stun us all. Hopefully, the next Xbox won't come till 2011 (that would be six years of 360 support which is pretty good). It'll probably be the next Xbox in 2011 and the next PS and Nintendo in 2012.

2011 or 2012 for next gen consoles I hope.

Though I'm pretty sure this gen will be my last, for a while at least.

1.6 - I have been telling you idiots for a while now
that a new secret Halo game has been in the works for over a year and a half now from GearBox. (and when I say idiots, I mean you dim witted fools who keep giving your money to MicroShaft over and over again!)

I should know more after Thanksgiving when I see my relative who works for GearBox and get the latest. Since he moved to Texas to work there, I only see him on Thanksgiving now...

Not long after the 360 was released OXM had a line in one of the issues that said they heard a new Halo was being worked on for the next XBOX. It was one of those WTF lines at the time I couldn't believe. But honestly I bet it's ready by XMAS next year.

after halo 3 it's probably a good thing, I think another developer should have a shot with the franchise

when you are given unlimited funding, unlimited resources, and endless amounts of staff to utilize, you should put out a better product than what Bungie gave us imo

DTClown: That Gearbox rumour is not true. It all came about because the Asian chick who used to work there mentioned a next-gen Halo project but nobody realised that she had moved from Gearbox to Microsoft's internal studio a few weeks before saying it so that's why it was assumed Gearbox were working on it. At the time, Microsoft hired several other high-profile people.

Why do people think that Natal will become the main form of a controller? The standard controllers that we are used to won't be replaced anytime soon. The Natal experiment is just a way to get non gamers to play games. Basically simplify the control experience so its not so complicated for new gamers.

LOL at all the people still clinging to the hope that the 360 platform will actually "stay one day longer than the PS3".

Microsoft has made it clear that they want to ditch the 360, come out with something new, market it to death, and take your money all over again.

Probably as a launch title for the next Xbox. I think Bungie will eventually return to the Halo franchise once they start missing the sales.

EDIT: I still think Bungie will be somewhat involved. They'll help out 343 industries while making their own new IP. Just to make sure Halo isn't ruined.

maybe they should try to make a current-gen halo for once ... you know in HD ?

i know the 360 fanboys will disagree with me on this but no matter .

BUt if it's true , that means that bungie is making 2 halos at the same time !!! ..i dunno ..they aren't insomniacs ... i can't help but wonder about the quality of each ...

Doesn't it say that supposedly MS's internal studio - 343 - is working on the next gen game? That way Bungie would work on Reach and 343 on Halo 4 or whatever it will be.

Since when? I have yet to see one of these unrelated market saturating Halo gamesyou are talking about, but guess what I have seen?

Uncharted Pinball anyone?
Shut this user up Let user speak
aaron5829 - 46 days 11 hours ago
5.6 - I can see Uncharted Pinball is stupid...
But at least, that's only ONE (1) spinoff...

I dont think you'll ever see.. Uncharted RTS, Uncharted FPS, Uncharted : Pirates , Uncharted : Future Warfare.

Uncharted : Mountain Dew ftw !

I really don't think branching out as an RTS is milking at all. That's trying to expand the series to other solid genres gamers like

.. but when you start having tired ol' board games, Soda drinks, announcements of next gen halos before the 3rd current gen iteration is even done, then... wow. Hey, Halo has not reached the milk saturation of the Mario series yet..but as soon as you see Halo Tennis and Halo party, you know the gig is up :(

Metal gear has been around for more than 2 decades. It's Obviously going to have a lot of games. Metal Gear SOLID only has 4 main games and 2 portable titles.

Hey Mr "I-have-three-bubbles&quo t;, every single MGS is very different from it's previous iteration with a deep storyline and gameplay innovations, Uncharted 2 did everything #1 didn't have and then some. Killzone 2 followed up on the underrated Killzone 1 fixing all the hardware issues that were encountered on the first and kept the story going.
Tell me with a straight face that Halo 3 is a significantly better game than Combat Evolved.

@7.2

You know that matchmaking lobby that a lot of games have nowadays? Yeah, Halo did that. Ya know that record games and replay them later? Yeah, Halo did that. Ya know that detailed stat tracking you get in console games? Yeah, Halo did that. Ya know console video game integration with websites? Yeah, Halo did that.

Good points. The matchmaking system that Bungie put into Halo 2 is easily one of their greatest accomplishments. It's become almost standard nowadays.

Exactly, just imagine if someone OTHER than ND made Uncharted 3. The next Halo (after Reach) will either continue the success or make it go downhill. It's all on 343 Industry's hands now.

Who cares if they continue to make Halo games. If they're good, then what exactly is the issue. I can understand the hate towards ODST and it's pricepoint, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game. I enjoyed it a lot, and am now anticipating the Halo: Reach beta.

LOL bubbles mean NOTHING HERE. Any jack ass can

A) Make a new account

B) Make hundreds of accounts just to take away peoples bubbles & the mods do nothing

The bubble system is absolutely pointless

in order to insure this next gen Halo game is as good as its predecessors heres a short list of what it will need,

1) better graphics (well duh)
2) Master Cheif (it wouldnt be Halo without him)
3) more guns (because its lets face it you can never seem to have enough guns)
4) more vehicles (because we still dont know how to drive them without crashing or tipping them over after 5 mins)
5) Cortana (lets face it if your going to be hearing voices in your head it may aswell be from a cute cyber girl).

1. graphics =/= gameplay, but better graphics is definitely a plus
2. true, john 117 (aka master cheif) is the face of halo (even though no one knows what his face looks like)
3. i think the showed more iterations of current weapons in the rumor screens of HALO: REACH, so i would assume there would be new weapons in future halo games
4. true...driving is usually hard, but very entertaining
5. no comment...lol
