Bungie's Next Project?

It might not be a game at all.

by Erik Brudvig

March 11, 2010 - As noted on attackofthefanboy.com, Bungie has registered for a new trademark. Filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, this trademark might not have to do with a specific videogame at all.

Named Bungie Aerospace, it is vaguely listed as being associated with just about everything videogames are, including the following goods and/or services:

"Computer game software downloadable from a global computer network; Computer game software for personal computers and home video game consoles; Computer game software for use on mobile and cellular phones; Computer software, namely, game engine software for video game development and operation; Interactive game software; Video game software"

As you may have noticed, this trademark could be for Bungie's next unannounced videogame, or it could be as far reaching as Bungie's own videogame engine which it would license out to other developers. As attackofthefanboy.com postulates, perhaps Bungie will be working on the engine that newly formed Microsoft group 343 Studios will be using to make the next Halo game not designed by Bungie.

What do you think Bungie Aerospace means?

I'll guess it's a team name for a development group, like Team Ninja or Rockstar



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Maybe it is a new sub-studio that will develop a new IP.

They've been hired by NASA to work on a training simulation for space exploration.

This is definitely the case.

 

Their first game will be Halo: Journey to Deimos

Maybe they hired Chuck Yeager



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Possibly it will be a steam like delivery service for current and future bungie games?



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!
