Bungie Close to a Deal for Hush-Hush New Project
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Don't forget Myth, the Real Time Tactical game. (Sadly, that IP was sold off to Take2 along with Oni, in the Microsoft take-over/merger/whatever.)Bigeyez said:

Does anyone else think it's weird that Bethesda makers of RPG's are the ones in the news discussing this and dropping small hints???
yah heard bungie was comming out with a non microsoft only game though i also heard that the next halo game would be available for ps3 thogh i still think thats a load
if it aint WOOHOO i love halo but can only get it on my pc and halo 2 needs vista and i got xp

Sounds like there's going to a bidding war and bethesda might be trying to stake a claim, or wants support from the gaming community to secure their piece in bungie.Kiutu said:
Of course it's all speculation.
EDIT: Maybe we might even be lucky enough to get a nice bungie-bethesda open-world shooter-rpg. In a Elder scrolls style world! I want bright worlds again! =D
EDIT 2:
That would be another Valve PS3 Move, without actual reasoning. Cross-platforming should be the norm, I hope.HardRockSamurai said:Actually, I was referring to the TWO GAMES Bungie still owes Microsoft; I knew that they split up ages ago.Psychosocial said:They left Microsoft MONTHS ago. You're VERY late to the party, and all of the above are just as "greedy".HardRockSamurai said:
As long as it's on Xbox 360, I don't care.
Also, did you consider that their "new game" MIGHT NOT BE on the 360?
I am curious and glad.
Curious as to what this new project is if very few developers have the resources to handle it.
and glad that there will be (as far as we can see) only 2 more Halo games.
Don't get me wrong. The halo series is pretty cool, with it having spawned books, a spinoff rts and helping machinima. But it needs closure.
aedrial, I'm hoping for a bungie-berthesda-DICE collaboration, for open-world shooter RPG with destructable enviroments.
and floodone, I can see the apeal of them going multiplatform, but if they do its going to be costly and they have little experiance with the other platforms. So if they do go multiplatform, they should only go if they're confident they won't **** up and make them look bad.

It is nice to know they will stop with Halo, even though I love the Halo games I want to see more innovation now. However, if they move to Sony I am going to be angrier than a rhino who just had a bad day at the office and found me in bed with his wife.
I know what the game is!
It's Whalo, the game about a Whale with superhuman abilities and powered armor who travels to an alien planetary superstructure and does battle with evil alien plankton!
What about Nintendo? They made enough money from the Wii to have every worker's posessions gold plated.
And it could be sony, after seeing what Halo did for the xbox, it wouldn't be far fetched that they would want their new title.
Plus, can't Bungie publish the title themselves? Hell, they made more money from Halo 3 than some publishers.

Best. Game. Ever.Samurai Goomba said:I know what the game is!

The only worry would have is if EA were to take on this project, because anything that isn't sports related tends to suck(most of the time). I would have no problem with any of the other studios publishing the game, except sony.
Personally, I think too many are looking way too much into this as it's just someone like Bethesda who is throwing out a "what-if" scenario. I fully expect the next Bungie project to be published by Microsoft Studios. Afterall, it was the 360 fans that have supported their games from day one, where as other platforms didn't appreciate their work (aka PC).
If, for some out-of-the-blue reason that the next Bungie game is not published by Microsoft, it will at least come out on the 360 as that would be a braindead move on Bungie's behalf to ignore that fanbase.
The whole Sony involved is overall stupid. Would Sony love a Bungie game exclusive to PS3? Yes. Would it be a smart business decision on Bungie's behalf? No. Bungie making a PS3 exclusive is nothing more than a PS3 fanboy's wet dream. I have yet to see a PS3 exclusive that has come anywhere near Halo 3 numbers in sales.
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see what Bungie has up their sleeves with this new IP.
