Microsoft needs to learn that givng their IP's to third party is not always a great thing. They would be wiser to create a Retro Studios/ Sony Santamonica, which is good at making every style of game so they can resurface old IP with better quality control. The fact that I can detail how they can fix this shows just how much Microsoft is lacking in the development and creativity department. They can scare off bungie by not wanting them to create a new IP and can make a dedicated studio to Halo, but not one for resufacing known IP? Thats ridiculous. They need to treat Microsoft studios like a real studio and not just a publshing house.

Santamonic probably helps polish games, but they don't create much per se. I've unknowingly playing a bunch of their games and they don't have a great record outside of GoW.

Its funny, you keep making the same terrible arguments. Bungie lied, they wanted to make more Halo but just not for MS. So they made Destiny, a Halo clone. Bungie can argue they were tired of making Halo but they made a blatant clone. They thought they had the next CoD if they went multiplat.

I believe Guerilla was tired of making Killzone and the series was mediocre, sales were modest, etc. So they made something completely different. That's what happens when a studio isn't lying.

Sony Santamonica helps co develop games and they create their own games. They are essentially Sony's retro stuio (Because thats what Retro does).  I dont know what bungie lied about. They wanted to make other games besides Halo and had let Microsoft know about it and Microsoft wanted them only working on Halo. Sony's philosophy is different from Microsofts, which is they expand inividual studios into multiple teams to achieve the ability to make more games. If they wouldve split destiny into two teams, you couldve had destiny and Halo Simultaneously on the Xbox.
