Bungie Play it Safe

Consoleme.ca writes: Is it just me or was the recent revelation that Bungie Studios will be announcing a Halo prequel very disappointing? Are gamers really ready for another installment with Halo 3 still fresh in our minds? Sure the Halo franchise has been great ride. I’ll be the first to admit I played and won them all with 24 hours of their release dates. But I can’t help but wish that Bungie, newly separated from Microsoft Game Studios (MGS), would put their immense talent into developing a new intellectual property. Something we have never seen before. They are basically the forefathers of the modern day first person shooter on consoles. With so much creative talent one can only imagine what other pet projects they have on the backburner or filed away in desk somewhere. While Bungie claims to have 3 projects in the queue, it is quite telling that the only one that gamers have latched onto is another Halo game.
