It'd be hard to find many people good enough to follow Ensmble's quality now that they are shutting it down but I doubt it will stop them.

The Studio Formerly Known As Ensemble is going to be supporting the game post-release, so I guess there's always a chance they could develop the sequel, assuming sales are good enough to warrant one.

 

Too bad some of the major players in the studio are leaving and making their own new studio.... GG M$ on fucking over the best studio you had.

A second new studio? In addition to the one that's going to support Halo Wars?

 

No, they said fuck you back to M$ so I don't know what studio you are talking about, but this one won't be a M$ studio.

Wow, two M DOLLAR SIGNs in one sentence.

Anyway, no, this new studio isn't a Microsoft studio. The Ensemble guys who stayed with Microsoft are getting folded into Microsoft Game Studios, while the new, independent studio is the one that's supposed to carry on supporting Halo Wars. In light of that (and the "we're going to continue our relationship with them, etc. etc." stuff), it hasn't sounded like there's a lot of sour grapes, which has surprised me. I guess what I was asking is if you've heard anything to the contrary, like this bit about them saying "fuck you" to Microsoft.

 

On one of the higher ups of Ensemble's blogs there was a post that definitely had angry undertones and a lot of sour feelings towards Microsoft so we will have to see how that goes. I could probably go dig up the blog entry if you wanna see it for yourself.
