no offense to any Sony fanboys (I like the PS3 just as much matter of fact I play it almost as much as my xbox, xbox has better online services!) but bungie better not bring halo to any other consoles other than xbox it would just feel wrong and out of place with this Activision merger/whatever! I think there new IP also better be good because unless its a RTS I am buying it!
Halo
The franchise that defined the Xbox, Halo contains some of the most popular games ever released. The Halo FPS titles are revered for their excellent gamepad control and high-quality online multiplayer. The franchise now contains novels, soda tie-ins, an RTS spin-off, toys, and more.

I am pretty sure even after the Bungie breakup that Microsoft has the rights to Halo and that another company will work on Halo and Bungie will be working on a new IP.

Unnecessary details to conceal post as legitimate
Overall 2/10, could use a less generic formula.
I know Microsoft owns the Halo name but they don't own Bungie's games so what I am saying is I am sure there is a loop hole they could find or something such as royalties Bungie could give to Microsoft . By the way I am not a professional journalist and this was not trying to make people get offended! Obviously the subject or name of the article is "No Offense" for a reason!
" I know Microsoft owns the Halo name but they don't own Bungie's games so what I am saying is I am sure they is a loop hole they could find or something such as royalties Bungie could give to Microsoft . "Nope the only thing they could do is make another shooter with the feel of Halo but I guarantee if it gets close to Halo at all they will be sued.
I'm betting activision wants bungie to take another look at old franchises like marathon or myth.
I'd love to see a new myth game.
The only developer who owns their own ip I can think of off the top of my head is Valve.
What are you talking about? First of all you clearly stated that " but bungie better not bring halo to any other consoles other than xbox". Then how can you say afterwards that you know that Microsoft owns the Halo IP? That sounds like backpeddeling to me.
And second. Do you even know what royalites mean? How can Bungie give royalties to Microsoft for something they don't own?

Oh and obviously Bungie would give money to Microsoft for the use of there game's name so quick answer I know what a royalty is!
I was just speaking my mind, as I have said not a professional writer or journalist, and I was not trying to be proper with grammar or punctuation marks OK!
"Yep. However, does anyone know if 343 industries plans on building up an actual development studio? My impression is that they are simply a planning/marketing/IP holding entity that Microsoft created to grow and use the Halo brand. I had assumed that the plan is to subcontract actual game development to other studios.Doesn't 343 industries take up the mantle?

" I don't see why people want exclusives to consoles. The more multiplatform games the better. "
I want exclusives because they give developers the ability to code the games in such a manner that they take complete advantage of the quirks and capabilities of the hardware usually leading to a much more optimized game. Multiplatform development often involves compromises or the use of suboptimal middleware to ease the cross platform development process. I don't particularly care which platforms have more exclusives as I own all three, but exclusive games usually are among the best on each system.
At the same time I can't blame 3rd party studios for wanting to recoup their costs by developing and releasing multiplatform.
" I don't see why people want exclusives to consoles. The more multiplatform games the better. "Not really. Exclusivity means competition. Competition means better games.
My thoughts exactly." I don't see why people want exclusives to consoles. The more multiplatform games the better. "
@MAN_FLANNEL: How does the exclusivity of a certain franchise to a particular console promote competition between 3rd party game developers?

It's like you knew that I hate the phrase "no offense" and just wanted to annoy the fuck out of me. Well, mission accomplished! Writing "No offense" is one of the most conceited things you can do, since you assume that people actually care enough or value your opinion highly enough that they become offended. I don't even have anything to say to your actual post, you didn't actually post any arguments for your view."

Oh, this thread is two weeks old too? I could have missed this thread entirely without that last bump, but now I have to go to bed seriously pissed off.
Oh well thanks everyone who posted there opinions, i respect them but you still shouldn't talk shit on something you don't really have to reply to! Get a life and stop trolling. By the way the oh so funny joke about me not spelling correctly is out of place for one I use firefox and that has spelling correction by default so learn to read because I know, I know how to spell!
