Microsoft Game Studios Signs Significant Staff Members

Shacknews brings along word that Bungie has signed up some significant, and somewhat suprising, talent.

Quote:

Microsoft today confirmed the recent rumors that former Metal Gear Solid 4 producer Ryan Payton and ex-id art director Kenneth Scott have joined Microsoft Game Studios, which the company says is "working on upcoming and existing Halo games."

The two join what MGS head Phil Spencer described to Edge as a "group of industry heavy hitters," which includes Scott's wife and ex-Gearbox technician Corrinne Yu along with former Bungie writer Frank O'Connor.

The article continues.

Quote:

Shacknews had previously heard from a reliable source that Payton was hired as the creative director for the Peter Jackson Halo game, often referred to as Halo: Chronicles, though Microsoft has yet to confirm his exact position.

Just realised I left "Bungie" in out of habit. Please changed to "Microsoft Game Studios".

I wonder how much MGS charges to sign the members of significant staff. I bet it's cheap.

Sounds good.

Now if we can get the Mets to sign some live arms for the bullpen we'd be talkin'. ;)

This news is FANTASTIC. Kenneth Scott was my favorite artist at id, and Frankie is an excellent writer. Corrine ain't too shabby herself and Payton is another incredibly solid worker. Looks like MS is serious about keeping the Halo series a quality one!
