1up fired an e-mail Q&A to Brian “Sketch” Jarrard regarding the recent Microsoft/Bungie realignment that you should immediately read here. It’s got a couple interesting bits about the whole ordeal leading up to the revelation that Bungie was splitting off from Microsoft, but most notably is a tad more information that Sketch spills about the mysterious “Peter Jackson Project”.
1UP: For all the super fans: does this mean Bungie won’t work on whatever “Halo 4″ turns out to be?
