Jason sent me this link this morning: Halo 3 to support True (not upscaled) 1080p at 60fps. Ok cool, but at the bottom of the article there are these tidbits:

Two other major tidbits.

  • The next true Halo sequel (Halo 4?) will use a new game engine and depending on everything, could be a launch title for the new Xbox in 'Fall' 2010/11.
  • A semi-sequel to Halo 3 is a possibility, it would use the Halo 3 engine. But this is most likely going to be new weapons/levels/vehicles.

Halo 4? Or Halo 3.5? I honestly didn't see that coming. I'll save judgement until after I play Halo 3 though. Maybe there'll be a good reason for a sequel. If Bungie can keep pushing the envelope with game tech then maybe it'd be a good thing anyway. But the other side of me says who the hell really wants to see yet another game with Red vs. Blue machinima and multiplayer first-person-shooter gameplay on xbox live?
