Halo Studio working on next-gen game
Microsoft is currently recruiting staff to work on a next-gen engine for a new Halo project.
According to the advert, Microsoft Game Studios is looking for people to help build a new next-gen engine to "power future experiences for the next generation of gaming platforms."
"Microsoft's new Halo Studio team is looking for a technical and highly talented program manager to work with an engineering team to help define the next generation of gaming software technology. As part of a next generation team, you'll be instrumental in helping to lead the development of the engine that will power future experiences for the next generation of gaming platforms," says the advert, via Eurogamer.
"You will work closely with the software architect and the senior development team behind this critical new effort. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with artists, designers, and other creative functions within MGS to ensure that we are building the best possible platform for content creators."
"You will also work to ensure we are building collaborative efforts with expertise available across the company, including the Xbox platform team and Microsoft Research."
What game exactly the studio is planning to work on isn't exactly clear yet, but the rumour is that it could be the secret Peter Jackson series of episodic Halo games.
So, any volunteers? Let us know in the forums.

Halo promises so much and offers so little, only the original was a good game, and lets face it Halo has no place on the PC.
I always loved Halo 2's multiplayer (It's the best for the drinking rules), because everything was so ridiculously nerfed/beefed up compared to 1, it was just madness. 3 was far, far too short, and the weapon balancing was actually pretty okay at that point, no more madness :(
Ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod...
You don't appreciate the socialogical effects and soul the sumatran rat monkey had on the peter jackson community.
Anyway, do they mean next-gen(this gen) or next-gen(really next-gen)?
They mean Next-Gen.
Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii are current gen. Thankfully I rarely see people calling it 'next-gen' these days
The Wii's totally next-gen :p
We are in the current-gen, hints 360's almost 3 years old....it ain't no next-gen system....
more so then it already did?
I wouldnt say halo 3 sucked badly, im not even really a halo fan but it was enjoyable, the multiplayer is good and so is 4 player co-op; better than most shooters.
It is overhyped I will say that but it is a good game regardless.
I was wondering this as well. Sounds like a whole new team though, maybe Bungie will be free to make another Myth game (in my dreams...).
I cant put any halo game in my list .Let's hope halo4 will.
The multiplayer thing is probably a tradeoff between nice physics / visuals and splitting that 4 ways I guess. Not really a hardware expert but having 4 players needing good physics processing off a 360 is asking for a lot. I dont understand why there arnt more PC local co-op games.
