Bungie Aerospace Revealed

I definitely wasn't expecting Bungie's next game at all - they stated in their Weekly Updates that they wouldn't reveal anything about it for a while - but for me, Aerospace is huge. I'm a Web and Digital Media Design major at my college and our focus is in mobile games and apps development. A program like Bungie Aerospace could help get our applications published, fund the department, etc. Maybe even some internship/job opportunities later down the road. I know a lot of people could care less about mobile/social gaming, but for someone like me, this is pretty big.

 

Its funny that Bungie is helping to kill the industry it helped make popular.

 

This made me smile in my computer desk.

But they're really just expanding a different branch, not decreasing competitive gamers numbers.

 

I wholeheartedly expected Aerospace to be the Reach Engine... But I like what they're doing.
Definitely got excited when I saw that they're partnering with FASA for it. Hopefully we'll get to see another MechWarrior game.

 

Im personally interested to see how "Crimson" turns out. Im not a massive RPG/Dungeon Crawler fan, but from what Ive heard, it seems pretty interesting.

I think I heard something about it on IGN.com. They (IGN) were interviewing someone from Harebrained Schemes, saying that they had some kind of connection to Bungie. I thought this was odd as Id never heard of them before, but I read up on the game and it seemed cool. IGN may or may not have prematurely let the cat out of the bag.

Still, Aerospace is a cool idea. I kinda knew it wasnt going to be their new game. I think I stated in another thread that it would likely be an OS or program sharing venture or something similar, so I was on the right track, I guess.

 

When I read that update on the b.net, I immediately thought to AdhesiveGames and how those two need to partner. If you haven't seen or heard of the game 'Hawken' by said company, do it. It's a small team of like 9 people who made that. I can't wait for it and I think that if bungie could weasel into it and help them out, it would be a huge, epic game for the xbox.

 

I hope they don't just do this for mobile platforms. I think it would be cool if Bungie helped develop games for XBLA. That way I can actually play them.

 

I believe its for mobile platforms, XBLA and PSN games. I think I read it somewhere on IGN or on Bungies website, but I cant remember. I do remember something about it being for more than just Android and iOS, though.

 

Kinda underwhelmed really. Ill be looking forward to what the mobile platform actually puts out, but I really wanted to see a new IP come out.
