Your wrong. 1st - MS isnt milking the franchise, they claimed the Halo franchise has over 10 years of content. Halo has a huge following and they want more games made. 2nd - 343i was created to sololy make Halo games for there fans and audience 3rd - No one is complaining Halo is being milked. Do you know what games Nintendo have been making for the past 30 years? Exactly. Killing off games because you think milking them to death is bad only works on franchises that gamers dont want. Sony do it with Polyphony with GT ND did it with Uncharted Nintendo do it with Mario, Zelda and Pokemon etc The big differences between MS compared to Sony and Nintendo is they build dedicated companies to keep series going without locking devs in for life. Bungie was a unique case because Halo makes too much money which Sony and Nintendo would have done the same. Rare is not a dedicated company built from the ground up to support SoTs. They will probably support it until it dies than make something new. |
Yearly releases of Halo isn't milking? So for them to milk it they need to make how many per year? Still doesn't deny the fact Halo was supposed to end on the 2nd or 3rd by their own admission.
343i being created for it doesn't neglect the fact Bungie left, and you wanted me to say what studio that wasn't created to do that single game is stuck to it, we can also put Mojang with Minecraft on this bag.
Yes I do know what franchises and characters Nintendo have been doing, and mostly 1 or 2 per genre, and after discussions with Nintendo fans I accepted that doing Mario Tennis, Soccer, RPG, etc that could work with any char is a new IP that Nintendo choose to use their main stars to make it easier to market and succeed not as a milking of games. Or when did you seem any Nintendo game be a yearly release?
Sony doesn't do it with GT, you already started wrong. Kaz were granted an independent studio because he wanted to create GT, he still loves to create it, but also made a bike game and helped on LoD. And if he wanted he could make other game.
ND was moving away from UC (as they done with previous IPs) even creating TLOU, but they decided to go back. There isn't a shred of evidence Sony mandated ND to keep doing UC games.
Yes Nintendo release once a gen or twice something on each of their main franchises and their userbase like it, I don't know if their devs like or not. What I haven't seem so far is they closing studios or studios leaving because they are mandated to do it.
If MS make a studio to do that series how isn't that locking them for life? You know you aren't making much sense right?
