Bungie pratar framtid med G4TV

G4TV har nu lagt upp en intervju med Bungies Brian Jarrard som handlar om framtiden för spelutvecklaren som nyligen presenterade ett samarbete med Activision. Några fler Halo-spel ska man alltså inte göra, utan kommer det fler Halo-spel blir det från Microsoft som äger Halo-serien. Istället satsar Bungie på ett nytt stort spel som man beskriver som sitt nästa universum och tyvärr kommer det inte att visas upp på årets E3-mässa. Utöver det kommenteras även den infekterade situationen mellan Activision och Infinity Ward:

G4: You mentioned the deal was just signed recently. Did the Infinity Ward situation give you any pause, or because the deal was so different from the normal structure, did it not play a role?

Jarrard: I think the only pause that it gave us was in terms of the overall timing of the announcement and just all the noise that's out there right now. It's unfortunate. Just in terms...it's not unexpected what people's immediate reaction might be, given what they've been reading out there, but in terms of the actual partnership and the deal, it didn't really give us any concern at all because, again, this has been about nine months in the making, so a lot of this goes back well before [the Infinity Ward situation].

But because we do have the deal that we wanted, and we are still independent, we're not owend by Activision, we do own this IP and we do have creative control over it, and we do have a plan that we shaped, we feel really good about the spot that we're in.

But, you know, it's just unfortunate that there's a lot of other noise out there right now, and we wanted this to be a happy time for us, but because the deal was just signed, which is not something that we felt like we could just wait and talk about also. Like I said, we didn't want this to bump into all the great Reach stuff that's going to be happening between now and launch, either.

På det hela taget sätt en väldigt intressant intervju och det ska bli spännande att följa utvecklingen kring deras nya spel.
