With the diversity that Halo universe has and the base that has already been built upon with the previous installments, the studio will have to be extremely gifted at fucking things up, to fuck up this franchise. Besides, the staff at the studio mostly seem to be veterans from assortment of studios including Ensemble which closed down, Pandemic which also unfortunately shut down, Bungie and even a person from MGS.

the company is konami dude, mgs is what 343 is in

Ah I was meant to put "co-creator of MGS"

Meh, their quality dropped like a rock once they joined EA.

by all reports saboteur was quite good, bit underwhelming in the sales though

It was average, more or less.

Take any "graph card peaking" with a grain of salt. It's all about how efficient the engine is at the end of the day. Granted, there is a certain limit, but most devs who say that are just talking PR. Infinity Ward said MW2 pushes the Xbox 360 to its upper limits. Now we both know the 360 is obviously far more capable than that. Halo: Reach was said to push the 360 to its upper limits, and while it does show to an extent, there's still room for improvement. Now Gears of War 3 looks very impressive, for example, and they did say it's pushing it to the limits.

I do think Crytek's game Kingdoms should be a graphical powerhouse since they're working on one platform, but bear in mind they said the same about Crysis 2 (I think) maxing the PS3 out, and frankly, while the game looks good, it is no where near what's being hyped. Rage, IMO, looks better.

They also said the same thing about Uncharted 2, and then after that they've been talking about how there's still a lot of room for improvement in Uncharted 3.

Anyways, OT, we all know it's a Halo: CE remake for this year with a sequel some time later.

@hasanwhy and gurgle: Can we at least wait until they ACTUALLY develop the game?

Just found this about Kingdoms, lol:  http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=283929
