Remember that Peter Jackson Halo Project? That was never abandoned, although they really just announced they would do a halo peter jackson project at x06, they didn't have anything down (save maybe ideas).
Anyway, apparently "Team Halo" (which I think is Wingnut?) is going to be a super developer, or at least made up of industry leaders.
Here's a run down of some of the people:
- Peter Jackson. I'd imagine he's for cinematography, etc.
- Frank O'Connor and a couple other Bungie guys (well, it's a halo game, obviously you'll have some bungie people come over for lore, etc.)
- Ryan Payton- producer MGS4
- Kenneth Scott- former ID art director
- Corinne Yu-- former gearbox tech lead/ nasa programmer
Sounds like they're trying to get lots of experienced big names on this project. Very interesting. Wonder what exactly type of halo game this is. Glad to know they're handling it correctly.
Edit: Also, Gearbox has to be creating a halo title. Just read this link. What could they work on that's huge? When downplaying Borderlands in favor of the next, it makes it sound to be the case. And by the link, it has to be a sequel. Considering they ported Halo 1 as well and Microsoft seems to be rather enthusiastic about letting skilled developers use the Halo IP, it wouldn't be a huge suprise. This would also confirm the 4 devs working on halo thing a while back (ensemble, bungie, gearbox, halo team). Fine by me as long as they're well made and not mario spin offs.
