HA! I knew it. All this talk about Bungie potentially doing a multiplat or PS3 game and the first thing I thought of was them reviving the Marathon franchise. In all honesty, I not too sure how many folks who play FPSs these days are aware of Marathon, or that Bungie even made games before Halo. If anything, I think a reboot of the franchise is the way to go. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this "new Marathon" ends up being Marathon in name only with completely original concepts, story and gameplay.
Bungie game multiplatform CONFIRMED! right murder?
dont forget halo 1 and 2 were mutiplatform games so they got a pc fanbase as well but you wouldnt know anything about that as youve got a microshaft leash tied around your neck.
dont deny the possibilties man,your just gunna cry even harder once you find out they make a ps3 game :)
"On October 1, 2007, a mere six days after the release of Halo 3, Microsoft and Bungie announced that Bungie was splitting off from its parent and becoming a privately-held Limited Liability Company named Bungie LLC.[20] As outlined in a deal between the two, Microsoft would retain a minority stake and continue to partner with Bungie on publishing and marketing both Halo and future projects, with the Halo intellectual property belonging to Microsoft."
Bungie first got involved with MS because they thought they were in big financial trouble after they released a game in the far east with some very nasty bugs (HDD destroying).
They took MS's money at the time to ensure they survived and in order to grow and solidify which they've done.
However, Bungie's founders started life working on Apple platforms because that's what they preferred and Marathon was a big deal at the time for Mac gaming.
I find it difficult to believe this is going anywhere than an Apple platform. May be even iPhone which would be a good first step given that platform's retro gaming line up.
But this claim that MS as a minority stake holder can direct Bungie is wrong.
halo running game confirmed. it will be in 3 dvd discs with the 4th one making-of special. don't hold your breath, it will be on PC as well and it will be gimped due to 360 limitaions.
Played Marathon on my Mac waaaaay back in the day. Would really rather they do a new IP.
A reboot could be really healthy!
Weren't they suppose to make a new IP well never played marathon so dont know how good it can be.
Well bungies makes great games so I'm confident in them making another great game question is whether it will be multiplatform.
Fvucking.
Cares.
