Halo-engined game coming from GoD
Whoa... long time coming, but it looks like Take 2 is finally gonna exercise some options it acquired back in 2000. The Acquisition FAQ doesn't seem to be online anywhere any more (I was pretty sure SOMEONE had archived it, but I can't find a copy), but it included information about what Take 2 got out of the Microsoft/Bungie deal; for their 19.9% share of Bungie, they received all rights to Bungie's Myth franchise, Oni and any sequels, and the right to use the Halo engine in two future games. Since that point (almost three years ago - June 19, 2000), there's been no mention of this last license... until now. Gamespot has put up a news post discussing what's in the works from Take 2.
He also mentioned that one or more of the games in development under the Gathering [of Developers] label will utilize the Halo engine.
Something to look forward to! (The same article states that Duke Nukem Forever will NOT be out this year, but that the project hasn't been totally killed yet.) Thanks to travis for the heads-up! Update: See this news item for info about the FAQ. (Louis Wu 21:56:29 UTC)
