Bungie is free!

[pwnzorz]

Sometime recently, Bungie (Halo Makers) left Microsoft and became Independent meaning they will probably become third party or create individual first party games for each system.

This news is pretty gigantic for the gaming community. Discuss.

MC for Brawl, anyone?

Very old news (1 week). Microsoft still has Halo, no other console will get the Halo series. And Microsoft has priority over Bungie's new games before PS3 and/or Wii.

MC for Brawl, anyone?

I second that notion! But that could never happen...

 

[F8AL]

Both of you guys, no...

MC for Brawl, anyone?

Well it's kinda too late now.

 

[Crimson King]

Yea, old news. It means nothing really. Halo ended; they wanted to be on their own. It happens. You won't see Halo on any other console, ever.

 

[konoha107]

Microsoft will sell the right to Halo to someone after it ends. IF it ends. Trust me on this one.

 

[Wazoo21]

Oh God, and I had hoped Halo was over with #3. X.X

 

[Chill]

Bungie said they will still be working on the 360 so the're basically a second party now. Meaning, we likely won't see any of their games on the Wii or PS3. If I remember right Microsoft gets first dibs on anything they create so if they like it the game will come to the 360 exclusively.

 

[Pey]

they will probably make halo 4 for 360 or whatever the next system is.. dont be surprised if you hear that

but good job bungie... now we can play games like.... Oni on the ds. great, really.

 

[Zink]

yeah, don't expect to see any Bungie games anywhere but 360 and PC. And, like, Mac.

bungie hasn't made anything good besides halo anyway lol. who carezzz

I bet we'll see a remake of Marathon. I have a feeling this is so because:

[MAJOR HALO 3 ENDING SPOILER]

Spoiler

At the end of Halo 3 in the Legendary ending, Master Chief survives the explosion and lands on a highly-technological planet that resembles the planet from Marathon. I have a feeling that Master Chief is the main character from Marathon. Bungie has also stated that the events of Halo take place about 200 years before Marathon. This is possible because Master Chief goes into a cryogenic sleep before landing on the planet.

 

[Banks]

omg i can't wait for marathon, if i knew what it was i'd be hyped

 

[Falco&Victory]

marathon is over 10 years old...

 

[F8AL]

Oni was a good game for the Mac...

The Halo and Marathon universes aren't connected, sorry. In Marathon the main character is wearing MJOLNIR Mark IV Security Armor, in Halo 3 you're wearing MJOLNIR Mark VI armor. Downgrade, much? Marathon takes place in the 2800 area, while the Halo games span 2552-2553. The Marathon ship launches from Mars sometime in the 2400 area though, it takes almost 400 years for the ship to get to Tau Ceti.

Spoiler

The planet seen in the Halo 3 legendary ending is not the Marathon ship, like some people are speculating. For one, it's much too large. The Marathon ship is a converted moon from Mars. The planet seen at the end of Halo 3 is huge. It's actually believed to possibly be Shangelio, the Elite's home world.

But yeah. The Marathon and Halo universes aren't connected.

And to Banks, you're ********, every one of Bungie's games has been praised.
