Here's a blast from the past, the phrase 'Halo Killer' has once again spurted into public. This time from EA Games label president Frank Gibeau in relation to Crysis 2.
Gibeau told Industry Gamers, "we were trying to craft a Halo-killer, you know a product that would squarely go after what Bungie built with our partners at Crytek. So the Crysis 2 product is spectacular, very high-end, and is going to be a multi-year franchise."
On the topic of Bungie and rumours that it approached or was approached by EA prior to signing a 10-year deal with Activision/Blizzard, Gibeau was more circumspect.
"I‘ve gotten to know the Bungie guys over the years and they’re a terrific bunch of people, but we’re very pleased and confident with what we got and the franchises in our portfolio..." was about the best he had to offer.
