This is a portion of the Microsoft X06 briefing showcase in barcelona.
"Moore says there's a partnership that will deliver completely new stories to Xbox Live. Microsoft Game Studios introduces Lord of the Rings director and Halo executive producer Peter Jackson. Jackson takes the stage to hollers and loud applause. He says the first project has been in the works for about a year. He talks about a "not quite a game, not quite a film" experience. He wants to take stories that could become films but maybe won't, and bring them into the world of games.
8:06: The game will be based on Halo!!! It's not Halo 4, and it's not the film, but it will be based in the world of Halo. It will NOT be a traditional game. Is this the much-rumored "Forerunner" game?
8:07: Jackson speaks! "Instead of making a film, we [will] make a form of entertainment that you can watch and enjoy like you would a film," but with interactive elements, he says. Jackson thinks the technology is to the point where games and film can blend, "and the fun of this is going to be figuring out where they can blend." He says it won't be especially for the hardcore game crowd. Moore says this means Microsoft is working on Halo beyond the movie, and Bungie is working on content beyond Halo 3. There will also be an all-new series based on stories from Jackson and Walsh. "
Maybe next year or most likely on 2008 we'll get to see something revolutionary coming from Microsoft, nevertheless Im looking forward to see wath comes out of this.

???
Is that like Kevin Smith saying that his films aren't for critics?
"Our games are for undemanding and easily manipulated hoople-heads, if you don't like the game it's not FOR you"
So...
This is like, the Dragon's Lair of this decade?
I predict: FATALITY!!!!! A movie that Uwe Boll would be proud of and a game that will only attract the most diehard of Halo fans (until said fans see the lack of gameplay).
We'll see....
One thing is for sure, it cant be worst than Halo 2.
I hope.:(
