Forums - Microsoft - Rumor: New Halo Helmed By MGS4 Producer

New Halo Helmed By MGS4 Producer

Rumor has it that Ryan Payton, late of Kojima Productions, has landed a pretty impressive job here in the states.

Our very reliable sources tell us that Payton has been hired by Microsoft to be the creative director on the upcoming, and still not dead, Peter Jackson Halo game.

The news, very reliable news, comes weeks after we broke the news that Gearbox Director of Technology Corrinne Yu had been hired by Microsoft Game Studios to be Principle Engine Architect for Microsoft's Halo Franchise Team.

Rumor had it at the time that Yu and her husband, Kenneth Scott were both joining Microsoft Game Studios. Scott is an art director at id Software.

Payton, assistant producer on Metal Gear Solid 4, has been credited with spearheading a more Western approach to controls for Metal Gear Solid 4, making the game far more approachable and much tighter than the previous installment. He also helped warm the MGS4 team up to more Western developed games like Gears of War as well.

Now the world is weird  and people take Prozac  to make it normal.

Is marijuana the best medicine?

“If any creator has not played Mario, then they’re probably not a good creator. That’s something I can say with 100 percent confidence. Mario is, for game creators, the development bible.

that is a good news for every gamers.



Oh, God...I hope this does not mean that the game will be 99.9% cutscenes and .1% gameplay. This is actually a positive development. Mazal Tov, MSFT!



thats wierd.



 

 

 

 

This will be interesting and ironic if true.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Awwww when did he leave Konami? I never heard that he left. Sad to see him go :(

Anyway he is a great guy and will definitely be an asset to the new Halo (If this rumor is true of course :P)

If this is true, I better not see one 360 fan start praising him out of nowhere, and saying how he's been great all along, as a producer



Wow...

I'll be buying Peter Jackson's Halo then.

After the praise that MGS4 got, this Halo should be full of win.



Halo could use some more story development, so this could be a good thing as long as it doesn't turn into Halo: The Interactive Movie.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

This may be surprising but some "360 fans" might actually like MGS.
