The name of Bungie's next game accidentally revealed?

During the Activision/Blizzard conference, Bungie's mysterious new game was mentioned - and Activision may have accidentally leaked the game's name: Bungie Universe.

This would fit the game, as Bungie has a website called Bungie Aerospace with a Latin motto “Per Audacia Ad Astra”, which means “Boldly Going to the Stars”. Bungie Universe would certainly encompass the idea of stellar exploration.

They might as well add:

"Where no man has gone before"

:P

blumatt4734d ago (Edited 4734d ago )

The game sounds cool. I kinda hope it's a space exploration game. And not just another shooter. There can be shooting, but hopefully exploring too. (ala Uncharted) Except in space!

If this is true, it will be my second most anticipated space game. My most anticipated is Starhawk.

kyl2774734d ago

Where is the exploring in uncharted? I don't believe collectables and the fact it's entirely linear (which isn't a bad thing) means it has exploration.

rockleex4733d ago

There's a lot of exploring in Uncharted.

Although there are times where its linear and you know exactly where to go, there are other times where you have to REALLY explore the area in order to figure out how to advance.

ryan_s4734d ago

lol there is no such thing is accidentally revealed

xAlmostPro4734d ago (Edited 4734d ago )

If the name and latin translations are anything to go by it sounds like a starhawk rip off lmao

unless they make a single player only game of course although it doesn't suprise my that they're heading for another spacey type game

shovelface884734d ago

So any game pertaining to the stars is Starhawk now? Stop trolling, fanboy.

RBLAZE19884734d ago

Hopefully it isn't true cause "Bungie Universe" is a really stupid name for a game.

xxBiG_BoSSxx4734d ago

true. my guess is its just a working title. almost certainly will be renamed prior to launch.

RBLAZE19884734d ago

let's hope that it does...Who knows though I wouldn't put it passed activision to try and whore out the famous Bungie name like that to try and get as much gamers playing this game based on name alone like they did with the call of duty series.

Sounds like a project name to me, and not a final name.
Maybe Bungies next game will be a space shooter with rpg elements.

Maybe like Rage, in space.

goku323594735d ago

Dude, I would so love that! come on Bungie, make it happen!

jakethesnake4735d ago

Definitely just a project name. It sounds pretty terrible for an actual final game name.

Ghoul4734d ago (Edited 4734d ago )

keep one thing in mind with project names.

they are chosen carefully aimed to NOT unveil any hint at what they are working on. i work on many secret projects and none of them had a project codename that reflects what the game/software/project was about.

but this is a placed guerillia campaign to generate buzz and bungie is commited to the space design setting (al artists are working on this setting for many years couse of halo)

well well we will see :)

BRING IT ON

Hazmat134734d ago

*looks at ghoul* ahh! what the fuck are you?!?

awiseman4734d ago (Edited 4734d ago )

You mean like Mass Effect? But online thats awesome!

pixelsword4734d ago

Isn't everything in space? ;)

MMO...why not...they got Blizzard right next door to help

KingDustero4735d ago

The issue is will their fans be willing to pay $15+ a month to play it? I sure won't.

xtremexx4735d ago

could be like guild wars, buy the cd and play for free. hopefully. that rhymed.

KingDustero4735d ago (Edited 4735d ago )

@ above

One word, Activision. I HIGHLY doubt a new MMO run by them will be free to play.

DeadlyFire4735d ago

Nah it will be Microtransaction based. Free to play $60 or more to have actual armor+suitable weapons in gameplay.

Rikan4735d ago

Bungie may release a Multi-platform online experience that rivals it's old baby, Halo. I wonder if they can develop another IP that lives up to Halo...It'll be a real test of their talent. Or perhaps they'll forever be compared/known for Halo. For the sake of gaming/gamers, I hope this is not the case...

dgroundwater4735d ago

I hope this type of mentality just goes away. I'd like another good Bungie game, but should it really have to be compared to Halo for no apparent reason?

Rikan4735d ago

No apparent reason? Do you read? I simply made a comparison that will be made in every review of Bungie's new game. Of course it will be compared to Halo, you'd be an idiot to think otherwise. I swear if your not arguing like kids about which console is better, there is no conversation period. Sad.

Zydake4735d ago

I Hope and just hope if Bungie sees PS3 success with steam they maybe can pull off some cross integration with the PSN and Live. But I know that wont happen....

Bungie Replaces Marathon Director Amid Leadership Shakeup, Fears of Layoffs

Amid ongoing anxiety within Bungie following layoffs last year, the studio is now preparing for another shakeup, this time on Marathon.

Kaii37d ago

Layoffs should be hitting the incompetent management at this point.

Profchaos37d ago

Talk about mismanaged Bungie is a studio of tremendous potential and have made some of the greatest shooters to date. Sony pushed them to just make another Destiny style game and consult on other studios live service games and are now getting thrown under a bus as the pivot away from predominantly gaas games is unfolding.

I'd love to see a world where Bungie can focus on telling great sci fi stories again away from a live service dungeon but we all know that's a pipe dream

Rynxie36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Are you serious? Do you just talk out of your arse naturally, or did it take years of being a POS?

Profchaos36d ago

You normally get so offended by internet comments or did it take years of being soft

purple10136d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Yes I see your point mate, someone clearly didn’t read the article.

Specifically the bit:

“Notably, multiple sources at the time and since have shared that Sony has largely left the studio to sort out its own troubles and was not responsible for the layoffs, with CEO Pete Parsons taking responsibility.“

He’s just spouting nonsense

Huey_My_D_Long36d ago

lol what so fucking hilarious is that you called him out so bad he projected him being offended onto you.

Its been well documented that Bungie's management has been more responsible for their shortfalls, even mentioned in said article that we are commenting on.

Its ok, just admit you didn't read the article.

MIDGETonSTILTS1736d ago

Arrowhead Studios will be Sony’s GaaS consult now.

Gameseeker_Frampt36d ago

I like how for some, it is never Bungie's fault. Microsoft, Activision, and now Sony - it is everyone else who is pushing Bungie to make all these bad decisions.

-Foxtrot36d ago

Thrown under the bus?

Are you joking? This is all Bungie, we all thought it was 100% Activision but it's clear the higher ups at Bungie don't have a clue how to run the studio and are more bothered about saving their own skin and the money that they rake in.

Sony gave them an extra $1.2 Billion to make sure that employees didn't leave and they didn't have to cut anyones jobs. Where did that money go because Bungie still cut peoples jobs and I bet you the higher management still kept a hold of their big fact paychecks and bonuses.

Sony invested poorly in this and the best thing they can do now is throw the old Bungie management out and take hold of the studio fully.

MIDGETonSTILTS1736d ago

Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Somebody at Bungie is the golden goose making great shooting mechanics, and the rest need to justify their paychecks.

Fearmonkey36d ago

This studio has had three owners and its never worked well with any of them....Management has issues

ChasterMies36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Worked very well for Microsoft. Microsoft’s mistake was letting Bungie go.

Fearmonkey35d ago

it worked so well with MS that they so wanted to be away from them they bought the company back. Only to do it again with activision-blizzard, and then sold to Sony...Sony shouldn't have bought them...Bungie hasnt been the same for a long time..

As someone who bought every story DLC for DESTINY 2 but not every season. the first thing I would do as game director is , if anybody pre-orders The ?Final Shape , they will be able to play all older DLC and seasons with purchase of FINAL SHAPE. . I think that would bring back a lot of DESTINY 2 plsyers who have not experienced the seasons a chance to play season activities before Final Shape comes out.

DickyD122684d ago

I agree but I was just able to get all dlcs for 50 on steam. (Have it on PlayStation but don't always have access to the TV)
