I don't see Bungie leaving Halo...sorry...but I don't see it. It's not about money...it's about volunteering to let your beloved child leave, when you don't have to. Bungie has enough money and options to leave Halo behind...but those guys have a HUGE amount of emotional invesment in Halo...listen to the latest Podcast for OXM, and you'll hear what I'm talking about.

Except they already said, Reach is their last Halo game.  http://www.gamercenteronline.net/2009/07/26/reach-to-be-bungies-final-halo-title/  Not saying they could change thir minds, but I imagine after 5 games, they'd be ready for something else.  A lot of people just think that Bungie = Halo, but they had some pretty popular IP's before Halo, namely Marathon and Myth. 

 

I for one hope they give up on Halo, not because I dislike Halo, but I think they're a talented group and that allowing them to flex their creativity would be good for gamers.

Haha, now that would be epic. It would blow Joy Ride straight out of the water.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

I agree.  I would hate for them to stagnate.

I see your link and raise it:  http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/698734/Bungie-Says-Halo-Reach-Might-Not-Be-Its-Last-Halo-Game-After-All.html

Anyway, people need to STOP minimizing how lucrative the MGS/Bungie relationship is for BUNGIE.  MGS has been about as good of a publishing partner as a studio could ask for, as their marketing and support of Bungie is second to none.  So for what good reason would Bungie leave MGS?  Same reason why Naughty Dog and Insomniac have no reason to leave SCE.

Dream on, folks, cause it makes the most sense for Bungie to maintain MGS as its publishing partner.

Naughty Dog is owned by SCE. Insomniac is more fitting though for a comparison.

Bungie was wholly owned by M$ as well...but as a unit, they were separate from Microsoft GS.  So, I think using both ND and insomniac are appropriate.  Bungie will grow in size to handle more projects, but I think they are going to keep working on Halo.  They love the IP, and they have mroe flexibilty, so if the money is right, and M$ isn't strong arming them...why leave.  They just launched, what is probably going to be the biggest exclusive of the year...so there is definitely a stong demand.  Halo Reach is going to bust the heck out of the charts...There will be over 40 million xbox consoles on the marketplace...and I can assure you, Halo Reach is going to get a STRONG peneration into the owner based.

Bungie will continue to make 360 exclusives and multiplats, but they don't like being tied down to Microsoft.
