Bungie game announcement next week

From GAMER.tm: "Bungie is to announce its much talked about new game next week, an industry insider has revealed.

"Speaking to GAMER.tm, an industry insider has confirmed that Microsoft is due to hold an event in Europe next week, where Bungie is due to take the wraps off its next game – the first title the studio has developed since splitting from Microsoft.

"Unfortunately, our source – who obtained this information directly from Microsoft – was unable to confirm what that game will be. As such, it's unknown whether the new title will be Halo 4, or indeed whether it will be related to the Halo universe in any way, shape or form.

"Our source also revealed that Rare may be set to announce a new game as well."

For Bungie,I hope its Halo 4

As for Rare,I hope its Killer Instinct 3D

gaffyh5695d ago

I'd like to see Bungie do something other than Halo, it's all they've made for years and Halo 3 was not great.

Whatever at least they've confirmed that they will be revealing their game. I have no hope for Rare, it already looks like they ruined Banjo, and they'll probably ruin any other IP they try to revitalise.

AAACE55695d ago

I hope Bungie's new project is something totally different not related to Halo!

I believe Bungie was getting tired of making Halo games and would like to do something different. Don't worry though... as MS has the code for Halo, and as long as it's in the hands of a capable studio... it could be handled well. You never know... the next studio could probably make Halo better that expected! They just might give it to Rare!

As for Rare... In a way I would like for them to bring back some of their old franchises, but then again, I would like for them to do something new, so they can gain some of their respect back from gamers.

Deadman645695d ago

I'd love for rare to do jet force gemini

borgome5695d ago (Edited 5695d ago )

For Bungie - Brand spankin new shooter

For Rare - Remake of Golden Eye 007

How you doing,Nick? Lets see what they say today

Sits down inbetween nick and Steven and says "Is it gay in here, or is it just me?".

Omega45695d ago

September 25th is next week i wonder if that rumour about 12 new exclusive games is true

TheColbertinator5695d ago

Its possible.Hopefully they are not just XBLA games but full 1st or 3rd party games from Microsoft.

Freak of Nature5695d ago

That would be nice,but..........I'll believe it when I see it,only then.

Halo 4 will come in due time.I want to see an all new IP from Bungie to go with it. A Mario,Ratchet,Jak type act/adv/platformer...? Ok,a guy can dream can't he?

An all new Conker game from rare would be ideal. If not Conker then a new Jet Force Gemini 2...?

Sanzee5695d ago

Listen to Bungie's Podcast. It's really amazing and talks alot about when new announcements are coming. It gives minor hints towards current projects and a few weeks ago Bungie said "U2 (or Halo 3 Update 2) won't be the only reveal coming in the last week of September".

Their working on 3 projects so obviously some will be Halo and others will not be Halo.

I'm stoked!!!

ape0075695d ago

I want a halo game that's actually as good as halo 1

DARK WITNESS5695d ago

thats has been my one wish over the last 5 years... sadly i don't think it will ever happen.

i wish it would, i really do.. but i think halo has joined the ranks of such great IP's with the totally awesome fist jump onto the scene, and then the inevitable sequels that never meet up to quality set by the first.

anyway, whatever they are doing i hope its good... i hope it has real heart in it, and less " test tube " approach to it, if anyone knows what i mean.

Raoh5695d ago

i cant stand mircosoft but a friend had the original xbox and i cant tell you how much we played and enjoyed halo 1.. some of the best and most fun co op we ever played..

after that his xbox went in the closet.. we tried halo 2 (puke)

and i bought a 360 and halo 3 (puke)

cherrypie5695d ago

From Metacritic:

Halo: Combat Evolved - 97/100
Halo 2: 95/100
Halo 3: 94/100

The Halo series has a better average score than almost any other series.

Stop talking smack, every one of those games is an absolute classic.

mfwahwah5695d ago

Aww shucks, my opinion was wrong. I guess I'll look toward review scores for all of my opinions.

GTA IV wasn't boring at all, it is the most fun game I currently own (I was way off with my personal opinion).

And apparently I was completely wrong about how much I didn't like Assassin's Creed.

Thank you so much for teaching me to blindly follow corporate ratings when forming an opinion on videogames. I now understand why Halo is a classic, and why I now love that game more than any other. I don't even have it and I love it now!!!!!

I hate when people don't condone opinions on sites with services dedicated to "discussion." It REALLY irks me. One of my biggest pet peaves actually.

TheColbertinator5695d ago

@mwahfwaw

Precisely.I thought GTA4 was a snore fest,Assassins Creed was brilliant and Dark Cloud 2 is my favorite game of all time even though it has only an 87 on Meta.Ridiculous.There will possibly never be a Halo game as good as the first one.The story was epic,the premise was original,the multiplyer was amazing,and it was polished to the bone.

Halo 2 and Halo 3 were great games but Halo 1 was simply a masterpiece on another higher level.

Final_Rpg5695d ago

OK pal, you just keep living your life based on metacritic. Doesn't matter what the public thinks, just metacritic. Why don't you just get metacritic to make all of your judgements? Would that make you happy? I bet it would.

Bungie - something new and not halo

Rare - Killer Instinct 3

Mr_Bun5695d ago

I think it has to be halo related...no way Bungie will give up that cashcow!

Fishy Fingers5695d ago (Edited 5695d ago )

Totally agree. New Killer Instinct would be great and would definitely get me back on the 360. Bungie, again I agree, I hope it's something new and fresh, I don't want Bungie to become type cast to Halo, they have more to offer.

But, yeah, if I was a betting man Id have to say something Halo related.

cereal_killa5695d ago

@Mr.bun

Why do you think Bungi wanted to be released from M$ they want to do something other than Halo. Sometimes you can only take a franchise so far.. not saying Halo is dead but i think Bungi want to move on and try to do something else. I think the only reason there still doing anything related to Halo right now is to finish there contract with M$.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC7h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer9h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6028h ago(Edited 8h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya6h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde6h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx6h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro13h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B11h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff218311h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh11h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia10h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins11h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal10h ago

The first game was the best imo.
