Well, I agree with Insomniac, they're a good studio, but I don't think they would bring anything to Microsoft that will get people to adopt their hardware. Microsoft really seem to be trying to take both ends of the market, the casual and the hardcore, and LittleBigPlant, as uninviting as I find it, it's going to be massive with the hardcore and with the proper marketing, and on a cheaper console, it could be huge for the casual gamer as well. It's everything Microsoft wants at the moment.Hellraizer said:

I find Bungie's relationship very peculiar. I wish there were more open details surrounding their relationship right now. Given what we know, which is nothing more than vague comments from the Bungie staff, I wouldn't be surprised to see either situation occur (them staying exclusive or going multiplatform). It's hard to interpret their comments.

Can you think of a better term? I wasn't using it in a negative light. The whole industry is moving towards a multiplatform approach. I don't see why anyone ever gets as worked up and angry about these isuses whenever they do. As a multi console owner, I guess it just really doesn't affect me. But even if I were to only own one console and my favorite title that was once exclusive is now not, that doesn't really affect my enjoyment one way or the other. More people are simply getting to experience a product that you enjoy.
I guess people get so worked up about it for the lulz and sales-age speculation, but other than that, from a gamer's point of view, what's the big deal?

I hope they go multiplatform, I really can't see Bungie abandoning their fanbase at all. I'm just worried they come up with something amazing and MS snaps it up. Fuck it, I'll probably have a 360 by then, the way the price keeps dropping.

It's not really a question of need. Does Microsoft really need, say, MGS4 or Final Fantasy on their system? Not really, but if they can have that franchise, then why not get it? It's all about building an impressive lineup of games that can match or compete with your rival, and so far Microsoft has managed to do quite a good job of that by being first to the market and gaining a stronghold in the west.
So while Sony doesn't necessarily need Bungie's support, they're a great developer and certainly they would be interested in having them on board if there was any opportunity of doing so.

I'd be really surprised if Bungie put out another game on any other platform this generation. I just can't see them wanting to spend the development time to put the game on another platform, and learning something like developing for PSN.
Next generation? Maybe because they'll be learning everything from the start like everyone else. But this generation? I personally think they'll stick to the 360.

Chance of Bungie IP coming to 360 : about 30%
I don't think it'll be ready this gen.

Well, every game put beside Halo 3 will seem like a lesser effort if we follow your logic. It was one of the most expansive game ever.
Tieno said:
They only started on it a few months ago. The total production time for Halo 3: Recon is probably only going to be 18 months.
However, I don't think anything Bungie does is quick and dirty, so I have no doubt that H3R will be great.
I'd be glad to see Bungie games on the PS3 and 360 - the more the merrier.
This is Microsoft's reasoning.
"We own the HALO IP outright. What the fuck do we need Bungie for anymore."
This is Bungie's reasoning.
"They own the HALO IP outright. What the fuck do we need Microsoft for anymore."
In time I can imagine Bungie taking a path similar to Level 5 in Japan. And by 'time' I mean over the next five years give or take....

The "Horses mouth"? Please excuse me if I doubt you have any real contacts inside of Bungie. Sorry but I just don't see it.
Whatever they end up doing, I hope it is exclusive to something. Bungie is possibly better at cultivating a community than they are at actually making games. It always sucks to have a community splintered by platforms and networks.
I'm glad they are leaving the Halo world behind. It'll be interesting to see what they do when they can do anything they want.

It's almost as if they were owned by the people who make the 360, or something.UltimaPooh said:

Damn I thought MS had these guys locked down for exclusive projects. MS's first party really is pretty embarrassing right now, especially in comparison to Nintendo and Sony. What are they down to Lion's Head, Rare, and Turn10? I guess they also have that new Halo team.

Well does MS own the Gears IP? Because if they don't that could cause some major problems for MS later on if Epic decides they want to branch Gears off to other platforms.pswii60 said:

Why tie down someone that doesn't want to be tied down Bungie have their creative Freedom MS has the most important piece of that though the Halo I.P the most important thing in all of this. So Bungie may go off and make games for other systems but they won't be Halo games which some of the posters in this thread are secretly hoping for so they can laugh.
We'll see.WrikaWrek said:
They own the IP, and when asked if the series will continue exclusive they said "well this one is" in reference to Gears 2. And EA recently announced they are publishing an Epic game for PS360.
In terms of Gears 2, it doesn't matter, but the point was just that I'm surprised they didn't have Bungie locked down when they gave them independence.

Doesn't sound like Gears to me.... :/
That's what I remember reading. But apparently not.Dabanton said:
I guess the rumor was debunked, I wasn't exactly following it.sionyboy said:
It doesn't even matter, the point was they could go multiplatform if they wanted. And I can't imagine why Microsoft would allow a MGS developer go to possibly mulitplatform.

Bungie has already had a Sony-console exclusive game in the past, hint hint 
!!111!11
And Mac too!!
Actually, I bet that we won't see a new Bungie IP before, lets say, 2010.

I don't think we are talking about ports here.
I will go as far as saying if they make a new IP it will be for a different type of machine. Not for a Ps3 which is basically a 360 made by Sony.
For me the remaining options are; PsP, DS and Wii. And out of these 3 Wii makes sense.
