October 01, 2008 in Interview comments 4

So it seems the rumours were true. Edge Online can today confirm that Ryan Payton, one of the main figures behind Metal Gear Solid 4, has indeed joined Microsoft's Halo team. Surely only good things can become of this ?

Microsoft Game Studios head Phil Spencer told Edge on Wednesday that the firm has added a "group of industry heavy hitters" to its lineup, including former Kojima Productions assistant producer Ryan Payton, confirming recent rumors.

    what a shame. how much more can be done creatively with halo? they have put out the same game a couple of times now with minor improvements. im not trying to rip on the game or the series, but it seems to me that the game has run its course. its like mgs4. we had a good run now lets end on a high note before we ruin it.

    I...really could care less. Though this is obviously a clear sign that Microsoft plans to continue the Halo series well beyond Halo 4.

      Wikipedia already had Ryan Payton earmarked to be the Executive Producer on the Peter Jackson mini series, Halo: Chronicles, so chances are he won't play much of a role in an actual Halo just the movie game, of which i know Peter Jackson won't let him get as involved as Hideo Kojima let him on Metal Gear.
