The Bungie XBLA game that never was
I love the Bungie Weekly Update. How else would we know the staff spends their weekends snowboarding in Tahoe and playing Halo against the Tampa Bay Bucaneers? Besides thrilling us with the details of their geek-hero lives, the guys also let us know what they're not doing, namely working on an Xbox Live Arcade Game.
"Anyway, that's enough downer. More rumorbusting! A long-legged, long-lived rumor is that we're hard at work on an Xbox Live title. We're so not. Lord knows we play too much Live Arcade, but our entire team (with the exception of a couple of Vista guys) is cranking away on our next project. That doesn't mean we'll never do a Live Arcade title, or that somebody else might not convert one of our old titles (Myth and Oni belong to Take 2) but we personally are not making a Live arcade title at this time."
They do however hint about an exciting non-game project and treat us to a "napkin design" for Warthog Moon Patrol. How long before somebody with no respect for the Bungie legal department makes it a reality?
