I mean, what's Jackson know anyway? It isn't his franchise, and even if he oversaw some direction of early game builds, that doesn't necessarily mean he has any real stake in the project. It's not as if he was investing his own money into the project; he was getting paid to do it. I doubt Microsoft will let whatever he accomplished, be it big or small, go to waste. I wouldn't be surprised to see an episodic Halo adventure get announced on [[Halo Waypoint]] within its first two months. After all, what better way to advertise an episodic, downloadable Halo game than on it's very own online 'channel' where only the core people who would be interested could see it? -AfroRyan | I mean, what's Jackson know anyway?

:I think you are mistaken on one point - Jackson had quite a ''hefty'' stake in it. He started a gaming company for it. A small, recently created company from New Zealand bringing out a Halo title would have been a HUGE thing, perhaps establishing Wingnut Interactive immediately on the gaming scene. As it is, they've been relegated to obscurity. I agree that the materials that were invested into Chronicles will probably resurface at some point in the future, though I'm not sure whether 343 is an actual game development studio or whether they're just overseeing the IP, hiring other companies to do the actual development. -- <b>[[Halopedia:Administrators|<font color=indigo>Administrator</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=indigo>Specops306</font>]] - ''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Qur'a 'Morhek</font>]]'' <sup>''[[halofanon:Operation: HOT GATES|<u><font color=purple>Honour Light Your Way!</font></u>]]''</sup></b> 08:59, October 11, 2009 (UTC) | :I think you are mistaken on one point - Jackson had quite a ''hefty'' stake in it.

From where I'm standing, Wingnut Interactive was established because Jackson wanted his own videogame development group. In the past, he has stated in so many words that he didn't like how his movie material was handled in the world of videogames. As far as I'm concerned, Wingnut Interactive would have been created with or without his/their involvement with the Halo project. As a side note, 343 Studios had job postings a while back concerning game development specifically. That doesn't necessarily mean they'll be making all the Halo games from now on, but they'll be doing more than simply outsourcing the work, that's for sure. -AfroRyan | From where I'm standing, Wingnut Interactive was established because Jackson wanted his own videogame development group.
