Forums - Microsoft - Bungie - We didn't laugh

makingmusic476 on 24 July 2008

From Eurogamer:

Bungie president Harold Ryan has denied "laughing" when Xbox boss Don Mattrick told him that the studio's latest Halo product would not be shown at E3.

"Keeping things clean, I certainly didn't agree with the decision to delay our news until sometime after E3," Ryan told Eurogamer today.

"Bungie is always concerned first and foremost with our fans. Whenever we are prevented from exceeding their positive expectations it is not a laughing matter."

Mattrick, who is in charge of the Xbox 360 business at Microsoft, told Eurogamer during E3 that Ryan "just laughed and he said, 'Boy, just a sign of growth inside the business, we agree'."

Mattrick went on to say that the new Halo product would be unveiled at a separate event "another time of the year" that would "create an opportunity where people can interact with it".

Neither Microsoft or Bungie has released further details on the new Halo product.

Go Bungie!

Good thing, too: if they had, they'd have a bunch of really irate 360 fans at their gates screaming for their heads cause, god dammit, video games are serious business (but not quite as seroius as the fans)!

I do not care if he laughed or not. As long as they keep delivering amazing products, I will support them. I cannot wait till they announce their stuff.

I mean sony pulled back the release f one of ther own games to keep Killzone 2 from competing with insomniacs Resistance 2.

Bungie didn't laugh. Like we suspected. Bungie was pissed.

 and the "keeping things clean" part proves it.
