Honestly I hope Bungie tries something different than Halo like an RTS or RPG maybe.

If they did make another FPS I'm sure it'd be great (I mean c'mon, it's Bungie) but they've been making FPS's for like 10 years now.

Well it's true, I imagine any Halo title is still the property of the Xbox however, but still perhaps new IP ideas will be showing up on the PS3 including maybe even a spiritual successor to the Halo franchise, but the name itself probably belongs to Microsoft.

Still, good for Bungie. Maybe with a more wide consumer base people can finally stop bashing them as 'hacks' and actually play the games they make for a change.

"Gears of War indeed.
That's cool, but why must Sony try to sell us the power of the PS3 at every turn? We got it, the PS3 is great, but as we've seen with all multiplatorm games, they look the same on 360 and PS3.
Oh well, at least I can get Halo on Steriods for both the 360 and PS3"
true

Does this mean Bungie are coming to Steam? That Halo 3 is coming to the PC?

I hope so, given that it's been long enough already.

No, it's a NEW IP. That means a new game. A new story. A new world. Maybe the star will be voiced by Nathan Fillion or, if female, Summer Glau (one can dream, can't they?).
Don't worry, we all do

I wonder if there's any chance of some new Bungie games coming to the PC, I'd be interested to try Halo: Reach if it was coming to the PC, sadly I don't buy consoles (Not a fan of the whole subscription online etc style things with the Xbox, and the PS3 is expensive :O)
That's a good point. Sadly, I think if there were ever plans to release Halo: Reach on the PC we would have at least seen Halo 3 there by now. Looks like they stopped porting after Halo 2.

Hell, I remember back when all the PC gaming magazines were hyping up the original Halo as the game that was going to revolutionize PC shooters. Then Microsoft snagged Bungie and made Halo Xbox-only. It was a smart move on their part, considering the only games that made the Xbox worth a damn were Halo and Halo 2.

I can imagine PS3 fan boys in 6 years time after the new Halo comes out, the same ones who dissed Halo suddenly saying "Halo is the greatest game ever!".

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.
Really? To each his own, but that's a loaded statement.
Especially since the current consensus is that the PS3 actually has a stronger line-up of exclusives...
I beg to differ. There's not much in the PS3 line-up that i'm overly interested in. Whereas on the 360 - Splinter cell conviction, Alan fucking Wake!, Fable series, Gears series, Halo series, L4D series, Mass Effect series. (yes some of these are on pc, but im talking about titles between consoles, also PC - basically another Microsoft platform so win-win really)
And that's only what comes to mind whereas if I think Playstation, there's not much there that i'd go out of my way for. The only 2 that come to mind on PS3 are little big planet (pass) and MGS4 (once again, pass).

Anyway this isn't a 360 vs PS3 thread but you forced my hand on that one. I wish they could just give the 360 some award like "Best console ever" to get everyone to shut up over the console war.

Are you nuts? The PS3 dominated in terms of exclusive titles last year.
God of War 3, Heavy Rain, MAG and MLB: The Show are few exclusive titles that have come out this year so far, and how many exclusives did the 360 have so far? Mass Effect 2 is the only one that comes to mind and it's technically not even an exclusive as it came out for the PC too.

This could be good but what was the last game Bungie did besides something pertaining to the Halo series. That's all I know them for so correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, at least Xbox fanboys will stop citing "The Xbox gets Halo" as a valid reason why it is better.

Bungie are up to much as it is, any success will be down to halo fanboys and those who liked halo who will reliably be irritated at whatever crap they poor onto our consoles. but it will be interesting to see if they can get their act together after being free of microsoft and show us some serious talent.
