"giving PS3 fans Halo on steroids."


I can already hear the PS3 fanboy gloating about how awesome and better the ps3 is and that now 360 owners don't even have exclusives anymore or some such trash.

Though this is generally good news (Except for the activision part) I can sense the fanboy wars. I Loathe sony fanboys. Worse type I have ever seen...EVER.
Hate to say it man, but the X-Box fan boys are just as bad IMHO. (Full disclosure, I own a 360, saving up for a PS3 around my B-day).

Most were bad mouthing the PS3 three years ago when their lineup was crap (and it was). All the while, the PS3 Fanbots were crowing about their superior console (it's not, from the mouths of the guys that made the chips).

Now the PS3 lineup is finally good, so Sony Fanboys are reacting to the crap they started to get from 360 fanboys 3 years ago. There is still no technical difference between the two consoles. It's just a matter of who's exclusives you want. I wanted my Bioware, so I went 360 first.

Really the whole arguement is stupid. We 360 owners just got access to Final Fantasy, and good lord was the Fanboy rage about that freaking retarded. We're going to have access to the next Metal Gear game. We really have little to complain about with Bungie trying to go multiplatform.
I do agree with you. Maybe I don't go to enough gaming sites to see it but I rarely come across 360 fanboys. I still see tons of sony ones though for some reason. I wish everyone could get a long and accept that some people like a different consoles better. I've never really got it, I own a DS, a Ps2, psp and a 360. I'm also saving for a Wii and Ps3. Maybe I just care to much that these fanboys are acting like complete ass holes towards each other. I find it disgusting.

Now a little more on topic. I looks forward to seeing the new IP that Bungie comes up with. I don't like Halo all that much but I won't deny that they're talented.

As long as one halo game is coming to ps3 I'm happy and besides Microsoft doesn't really have any more exclusive developers after this. unlike the ones that sony has even if they hold onto them like a starved dog to a bone.

Would this allow them to release the previous Halo games on PS3?

Just out of interest.

As long as the company still produces for Xbox 360 as well, I'm happy. I've always said exclusive gaming is a curse and shouldn't be allowed...
Without exclusives, what difference does it make what platform you get? Yes, it would be awesome to have to same games on each platform, but then, if they are all the same, there's no reason to get one over the other. There's no real advantage.

Bungie coming to ps3? don't care, tbh. Now, Bungie coming to Steam, THAT is something to get excited for.

Though since it's Activision, any PC game that they make will cost $60, contain DRM up the ass, be used to sell overpriced DLC, and use some sort of "Bungie.net" instead of dedis'. Damn you, Activision!

Oh, and the fanboy comments from 360 users upset over the loss of Bungie, PS3 users gloating and the ever-present Halo haters will be what I remember this for.

Hmm, cool.

I'll keep my "OMG, SWEETNESS!" as soon as I see something other than Halo come out of them. As much as I want to be excited for this, I really want to see what things Bungie will pop out with Activision hovering over them, though the thought of Bungie working on the PS3 does make me giggle ;P

Can't say I'm not surprised though, this partnership should be very interesting.

Unfortunately for the Halo liking PS3 gamers, no. The Halo IP still belongs to Microsoft. So the PS3 will have to wait for this new IP to get a Bungie game.

By the way, just sayin for all the "oh i can now play halo too" sayers.

HALO IS MICROSOFT PROPERTY!

I am not a big Halo Fan but i just had the urge to say that seeing how every second person here seemes to think that Halo will now be avaiable for every platform. ^.^

Sony had better bite down on this; their spectacularly bland-samey lineup as their primary competitor has shown us that the PS3 is capable of...what their competition can do. Only slightly buggier on average.

I don't hate the PS3, but a console must live or die on its game selection, not its hardware.

But the real news here is that Sony is jumping up and down going "OH LOOKIE HERE MICROSOFT! WE GONNA HAVE OUR OWN SCI-FI-THEMED FIRST PERSON SHOOTER DEVELOPED BY THE PEOPLE WHO KEPT YOU IN THIS BUSINESS FOR MORE THAN A YEAR!"

...*yawn*...Oh thank God for THAT. What in the hell would I have done without ANOTHER first person shooter about space marines?..*yawn*..I'm so excited I might shit myself..*snore*

I've got to admit, I thought that was the case too. I was really looking forward to seeing people who said halo was the shittest thing on earth suddenly change their minds, would have given me a chuckle. I still wonder what this means for microsoft though as they seem to be running low on exclusives of late, well triple A exclusives I mean.

PS3 aint getting Halo though, I'm counting that as a win. I guess the PS3 needs something, it's own exclusive titles are pretty weak compared to the 360's arsenal.
