Adam91 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I wonder if he'll go back to having any involvement with Halo, also this hasn't anything to do with Halo 5 microsoft game studios forum would be the right place for it.

MCPO Mayh3m Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO this is a my worst nightmare I really really really hope that Destiny still comes out just as good as if he never left as I am really excited for Destiny and really don't want to see it fail and be the best it can be. Destiny will turn out fine. It's pretty much already finished. I like this. It could help give Halo the boost it really needs story wise. It's kinda funny though... He made the switch from a Ps4 focused game to an Xbox only company.... wonder why? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose The Ace Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Mayh3m I would say Destiny is far from "Almost finished" as its launch date is sept 7th that is some time away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 If I know Joseph Staten then he will definitely write for Halo again. He and Eric Nylund are my two favorite authors of the Halo novels. After so many years, he has to love the Halo Universe you can see it in his writing it's beautifully done. This is excellent news! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buns Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Mayh3m I would say Destiny is far from "Almost finished" as its launch date is sept 7th that is some time away. Destiny is currently in a late Alpha/Pre Beta state. So yes they are "almost finished" when it comes to the actual game. They still need to do a lot of bug testing but that is always expected.

He's a writer, and an excellent one at that. If anything that's what he's back to help Microsoft with and it will be GRAND. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrhuntington Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Sorry Stig, fingers uncrossed http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=96533990 On his account "Stinkles" on neogaf.com, Frank O'Conner States: "Lol. Relax. Joe is senior creative director at Microsoft studios. He is not working on Halo, except to get donged on by me in Swat" Below that line he puts this: "And none more sleeps is unrelated to StatenGate." Thanks to Adam91 for this update. This confirms he is not working on Halo, but I am still trying to understand that last line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
