No this is the last Halo with MC as the playable character, Bungie will probably follow up with something involving the forerunners, a couple more RTS's in the Halo universe, maybe some games taking place after the Halo series, etc. etc. this isn't the end of the Halo franchise, I won't be surprised if we see a Halo racing game at some point

That's why I said "this series ends after this" and not "Halo ends after this". The Halo world isn't dead, but this current storyline is and it makes sense that they keep the gameplay virtually the same for the trilogy. Who knows what they'll do next with the Halo universe (other than the already-announced RTS).

 Hmmm...they'll probably change something very minor.  Halo's not going to end any time soon, and it's not going to change much either.

So Miyamato is a genius when he creates a great mass-market game (Wii Sports), but Bungie is considered to be an average, "unremarkable" developer when they create a brilliant mass-market FPS (HALO).

Face it, Miyamoto's comment about Halo is just as bad as the "arrogant" crap that Sony's been saying for the last year that seems to get everyone else riled up.

I'm not reading this but he's crazy.

"I make games that are new, and creative, and something fun, Not whateveryone wants."

Well kind sir. Last time I checked, when Bungie was makeing Halo1, they did not expect it to sell amazing, they did not expect it to become a cult game bigger than anything else in history. They were just creating... a... WAIT FOR IT.

A New, Creative, and fun game! ***NOT*** meant for everyone.

Unlike Super Paper Mario, wich is made for a small nich market, that is not really very new.

Halo was everything he said he is. I consider that basically a lie, becuase he must not have known about Halo untill Halo2 came out. Because Halo2 sucked, was not new, and was made for everyone. But maybe he should do his research first before he says he could have made it. 

I think it would be any two from this group: GoldenEye, Half-Life, Alien vs Predator 2, Operation Flashpoint, Serious Sam:TSE/II, Soldier of Fortune II, Hitman(some of them), FarCry and maybe Cs.

?

Great list. AvP doesn't get enough love. It introduced survival FPS gameplay. HL was a real classic by itself, not to mention CS and DoD popping out of its mod system. Far Cry was also a great game (on PC), though I wouldn't quite put it on this list. GoldenEye speaks for itself. And then there's Halo. And let's not forget Doom 2 and UT.

I think that sums up the five or six most influential FPS games ever.

"Wow, little hostile there eh?  Halo 1 & 2 are both awesome games. They completely elevated the FPS genre to a whole new level (not to say that Goldeneye isn't still awesome), and clearly were a huge influence on videogame development. Liking Halo isn't anywhere near brainless, much unlike your statements."

Halo to me just sucks..Me being a simpleton it may not be a popular thought, but it is mine.

I hate when the headlines kind of portray a false picture. I don't think for a second this comment was mean to sound arrogent like it comes off by itself. He clearly is saying only go in that direction creatively if you love that kind of game experience. He's more or least saying "be true to yourself" Or "don't sell out". Hence he tends to focus on the concepts he loves, thats why you get games like Pikimin that are based on his gardening experience. All though for the record I'd love to see Miyamato make a Haloesque game.

On a side note how uptight it Nintendo? I know after Pokemon sold a million units in America they were like, "never mind that why aren't you guys selling a bizillion copies of Brain Age?" and now they're after japan about Zelda. They're the only company in the world that is cranky about only selling  a few million copies of a game. It's like relax. I know Miyamato is always searching for the next big thing. He used to always talk about the Tomagachi rage and how he wanted to create things to mimick that. Although I think Pokemon has got tomagachi beat.
