Bungie hires ex-Rockstar dev for sandbox team

And here's me saying that RSI should poach from BioWare's Mass Effect team for their game because Rockstar isn't making a Grand Theft Spaceship game.. Forgot completely about Bungie.

Remember, it's an MMORPG. 

You people are funny. It seems most of you are ruling out this game simply because of your preconceptions of Activision; it's almost as if it's now become cool to hate on them. Activision actually gave Bungie a great contract that allows them a lot of control over their upcoming project. And there hasn't been even the tiniest indication that this new IP will be turned into an annual franchise. Essentially, Activision are simply funding the project and seem to have faith in Bungie to deliver on their own terms, as they have done in the past when they were with Microsoft.

i glimpsed the guy from Red Dead Revolver on the news link and thought YES PC VERSION!!!  damn you Gamespot

The only thing holding this back is Activision.....  Still..  Could have been EA!

Sweet Bungie developing a sandbox game is going to fucking rock!

who?

Activision? Awww man come on. I was actually excited for a second ha ha.

I thought I read somewhere that their next game was going to be a series of first person shooters. Is that right?

bungie and ex rockstar = epic.....hopefully.

I love to help out crazy people building something that is insane that will more then likely kill them.  It would be nice to have some of them quest in destiny.

Great stuff RDR was almost perfect in every way!!

Wicked!

Hmmmm...whatever Bungie is working on, it's due next year so I'll check it out.

Bungie + Rockstar ? Where can I preorder the game ?

I'm very excited to see what Bungie will do next.

Bungie - YIPEERockstar - WHOOHOOActivision - why god why -_- 

How many is it, a thousand? Yup, a thousand times YES. :)

I'm actually pretty excited for what Bungie could do with an open world game.

I hope if Bungie's next game does end up being a sandbox game that it's in 3rd person. I hate 1st person open world sandbox games because driving in 1st person sucks and it just feels alot more comfortable in 3rd not to mention I wanna be able to see the awesome vehicle I'm driving while I'm in it not just the interior. So hopefully this turns out to be a 3rd person open world sandbox game or else I'll most likely pass.

More sandbox is always a good thing in my opinion. Not a fan of Bungie or Halo, but let's see where this goes.

Bungie could make the best game ever (which is doubtful IMO as Halo is possibly the most overrated franchise in video game history) and still I won't buy it since Activision is publishing, which I know, puts me in the minority. 

Bungie and R*?

Dear lord....

Activision, Bungie and R*?  All they need is Capcom and then everyone is involved.

Bungie + Rockstar = HOLY S**T!

Finally someone isn't reporting the Bungie's new game is a sandbox game, because that's not what they were saying at all.  Honestly, this shouldn't even be news considering he's been there for at least close to 7 months ( http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=32059 is dated 3/26/12)  Barring any leaks, we'll find out just what Bungie's next game is when they tell us.
