...and suddenly silenced. (http://www.palgn.com.au/article.php?id=9033&title=Bungie+confirms+split+with+Microsoft)

Not the best news coming off the Halo 3 launch. But it's Microsoft's fault for being all "YOU MAKE THE HALOS AND MORE HALOS AND MORE HALOS!".

man i would care if i liked halo or the xbox or microsoft

...

hi raidenex i am sure it is big news for nintendo

they can use master chief in their next smash bros. game

Quick, tell Disney to severe ties with Square. I needs my Sora vs. Link action.

This would be seriously awesome. Playing a SPARTAN in Dead or Alive 4 was awesome.

I think it's too late to put him in now, but they can put Master Chief in place of Snake or something in the next one.

And May, Nintendo will probably be putting in third party game characters in the games, so it is possible that Sora gets in because I believe Chain of Memories was on the GBA and I think there are other Kingdom Heart games on the Wii.

Also, I don't see a big problem for big company Microsoft with this as long as the Halo series doesn't go multi-platform or go to another console, but I don't know much about Bungie and Microsoft as far as... anything goes so I could be dead wrong.

Electivire should be in Brawl imo.

why is this bad news? i don't get it. everything is gonna continue as normal. they'll still make games. microsoft will still get games from bungie. wtf?

do they hate bungie possibly making it for other platforms? that's just being selfish.

That could still happen.

I was just making an Alderaan allusion :(

Seriously though, i'm glad Bungie has done this. They needed Microsoft for money for Halo at first, but now that they're making enough money to stand on their own two feet again, it can only mean good things. For those who played Myth back in the day, Bungie is good a wide plethora of things, and it will be a relief to see something that isn't Halo coming from them.

Also: maybe this means that Halo DS will finally see the light of day :D

props for the first test of the death star.

I think Bungie is going to do just fine on its own. They have now made a name for themselves and the Halo craze wont die down too soon, so unless people start quitting the Bungie team, I think they'll survive...but I do wonder...what do you think they are going to do?

Take that Microsoft!!! I hope this turns out for the best!

HALO 4 FOR THE WII FTW!!!!

HALE 4 FOR THE WII FTW!!!!

They left because they were sick of making Halo games jftr. At least for now, anyway.

Also, Microsoft owns the Halo IP.

New Marathon maybe - unless they're really sick of the whole FPS thing.

Ah, I forgot about that xD. Anw, I dont even play Halo!

i want to make a game.

I saw this coming. The 5th is the start of the new fiscal year.

I see, well bungie was a silly name anyway.

i want to make a game.

cool

I guess that's fine with me. I don't have any of the Halo games but it's nice to know that sort of stuff.

Eh, Halo's getting a little old anyhow. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Ahem,, Final Fantasy

Rofl.

I feel bad for Halo fans. Not because of this, but because they are mentally ill.

Want a good Xbox LIVE FPS?


Rainbow Six: Vegas.

Fuck the rest.

Good for Bungie.

I thought Shadowrun was pretty good

I don't see what the big deal about Halo is anyway.
It's just another FPS.

I totally agree with you...

The point of the Halo games (at least in the eyes of some of my psychotic aquaintances) was to brag about how unbelievabley cool and great the whole game was. And continue talking your arms and legs off while kissing ass to the whole Halo series. Then badgering you into playing it (even though you won't have fun because you could care more about dirt than playing Halo) but you do and you get killed by immature 30-year-olds with the psyche of 11...no 8 year-olds who are like "See I totally owned you" (regardless of the fact that this was your initial play). That seems to be the whole point of the Halo games, and yes I agree with all above posts. Most Halo fans I have met were insane and you couldn't even get them to take an important phone call or go back home at midnight while they are playing it. Hell, Maniac Mansion for C64 was more interesting and fun to play for me and its old and outdated no fancy ass graphics here. :rolleyes:

I'm guessing that it has to be a pretty well-built game if it's got as large a following as it has. It may not live to the hype, but it has to be doing something right to sell so many units.

I personally hated it when I played it, but you give me any first-person shooter and I'd say it's junk. To me, at least. I can't stand those game.
