Halo DS rises from ashes, videos unearthed


And the mighty wheel just keeps on turning. Matt Cassamassina of IGN, in his age old quest to prove to the world that a DS version of Halo was once in the cards, has posted video of the game in action. Remember now, Bungie has directly denied that a Bungie sanctioned Halo DS ever existed. Cassamassina insists that the version shown in the video was not made by a "garage developer" and that it had a major publisher behind it at one point. He elaborates that the project was canceled for reasons he cannot discuss. Of course, Bungie themselves admitted that prototypes were likely made by outside companies in order to pitch the idea, and it's still possible that we're seeing such a thing here. Our only question is why now? Why are these videos just now surfacing? If the proof has been available for this long, we wonder what caused the delay. We're sure all you're really interested in are the videos though. Check 'em out after the break.

Bungie: no official Halo DS ever existed


We really thought this rumor was good and dead, but you may have seen Halo DS rear it's ugly head once more around the internets. Luckily, our friends at Siliconera just so happened to have a little chat on the subject with Bungie at E3 last week. In addition to asking Bungie's Frank O'Connor and Brian Jarrard about whether or not we'll see any more Halo crossovers like the Spartan in Dead or Alive 4, Siliconera also asked about Halo DS. According to O'Connor, "there has never been an officially funded or sanctioned development of any sort of DS Halo game." O'Connor and Jarrard admit that Bungie has been pitched such an idea several times, and that there likely have been unsanctioned prototypes created by companies outside of Bungie. Such a prototype is probably what caused this ruckus in the first place. When asked about the future possibility of Halo on DS, the two don't rule it out entirely, but note it likely wouldn't be a first person shooter, as they don't work very well on handhelds.

So there you go. No official Halo DS exists, or ever did. Can we drop this now?
