Bungie rep says PS3 is an option

Bungie Studios community manager, Brian Jarrard told IndustryGamers that the studio "definitely has plans in the works" for future games but that they "are not looking at one particular piece of technology right now."

[What Would Kratos Do]

Bungie are worshiped on the 360. They might upset their fan base.
and
If they make a PS3 game thats anything less than exceptional they will be ridiculed by PS3 owners as a one trick pony.

But you don't get anywhere without taking a few risks. So I say bring on a Bungie PS3 game.

[zeeshan]

I highly doubt that'll happen any time sooner. Always a possibiility but none that I see happening in a year or two. Maybe towards the end of the PS3 lifecycle or when Sony launches PS4 but right now, I just don't see that happening.

I am not sure what games they have made so far but I have never heard anything else coming from Bungie except HALO. Even if they do announce a new IP and goes multiplatform, I don't think I'll get too excited because IMO HALO is extremely overrated.

[qface64]

uh ya know bungie has worked on the ps2...

i don't like bungie and even i know that

[MexicanAppleThief]

That was a good comment. Bubbles +

[Bereaver]

I like Bungie, and would love to see a game by them on my ps3.

I know maybe... it seemed.... that they may have milked their engine and stuff, but that still doesn't let my hope down that they can do something worth my money on the ps3.

Take it or not, halo, was and still is a great multiplayer game.

[GUCommander]

Very nice comment. It was very clear headed, which is kinda rare these days :P

I think it's great that Bungie is exploring new options, the less exclusives the better in my opinion :)

+bubs

[raztad]

If they are going to develop something on the PS3 I just hope it's not a FPS.

[Skip_Bayless]

The 360 is done. This is the equilvilant of losing Santa Monica Studios, Naughty Dog, and Polyphny Digital to multiplatform. It's 360's basically only first party developer other than Rare.

[Montrealien]

Bungie multi platform dev? I like the idea, maybe that way people will stop stereotyping them for the sake of this stupid console war and actually accept that they are one of of the devs of the last 15 years.

[nycredude]

If they don't get their head out there as* and make a few games, when finally release a game on the Ps3 it will look like a ps1 game compared to the SOny exclusives releasing at the time.

[Syronicus]

How about a remake of Marathon, multiplat? Eh? eh?

[Motion]

Why would they be ridiculed as a "one trick pony"? The marathon series was EPIC, and story-wise blows Halo out of the water. They Myth series were awesome RTS games in their time, Oni was alright, slated to be much more then cut back before release, but was still decent for a fighting game. Then there are all the other old school classics (vikings anyone :) Bungie has a more successful history than a lot of developers.

Halo is in actuality a spin-off of the marathon series (you can find marathon logos throughout halo games, and find some intertwined lore if you're looking. I'd actually like to see bungie bring something back from the Myth universe, though i'm not sure if they sold off that IP.

With M$ owning the rights to halo, i am curious how they would handle it if Bungie were to ever make "marathon" games.

[Mr Logic]

Are you people really this closed minded? Do you really think the average 360 gives a f*** if Halo or some other Bungie game ends up on the PS3 or even Wii? I only own a PS3, but IF someone like NaughtyDog were to make a game for PS3 and 360 I would still buy it (assuming it was a good game of course).

[Montrealien]

As long as it does not wipe my hardrive, I would be more then happy with a new Myth game. But Marathon is my first pick. i loooved that game. The HD version on the Xbox was great also.

[darthv72]

Both companies have a strong following on their respected consoles and yet the rumors of them doing something for their competition will always be arouns until one of them actually does.

I am betting both will likely release games on the DS before they cross platforms. You figure both are considered "independent" yet their respected console MFG's have first dibs on anything for a home console but not a handheld.

[Redrum059]

it takes a real tech head and mad skills to use the full power of the ps3, is bungie up for the challenge? i say bring it, ps3 has so many bada** games right now, 1more wouldnt hurt.

[Godmars290]

But its bad thing for Bungie to make PS3 games because it would upset their 360 fanbase?

[pixelsword]

I love Bungie for their work on Halo on the XboX and the 360, and on top of "the option" comment, them not working on Halo hurts a little.

I know I also got a PS3, but it's kinda hard to see them on the PS3. I just hope whatever they do next, if it's multiplatform, is really great and shows PS3 fans that Bungie, as developers, are up there with Insomniac, Naughty Dog, and whomever you can name when it comes to gameplay.

Still, I kinda knew something like this might be said since they bought themselves out of Microsoft's first party status. I think it was because Microsoft ticked them off when they wanted to make that announcement about ODST or Reach a year or so back.

[iFLOWLIKEWATER]

You win the dumbest comment of the day. Thanks for the laugh!
On topic: I'll reserve my judgement on Bungie about being "a one trick pony" of their next game when said next game is actually out.

[peeps]

"uh ya know bungie has worked on the ps2.."

if you mean 'Oni' it was developed by a division of bungie, and that was 9 years ago now! lol

[HolyOrangeCows]

The day Microsoft allows a Halo game on Playstation 3 is the day pigs fly, but I'm sure we'll eventually see some Bungie made multiplats on PS3.

[young juice]

hmmm now that i think about it, bugie DID just file a new game trademark not too long ago.

http://n4g.com/gaming/News-...

[Hellsvacancy]

I was gonna say the same thing boss, bubbles 2-u both

[Pain]

was like the first PS2 i ever played i think, no wait that was Timesplitters... Oni was my Second!

http://oni.bungie.org/onish...

[vhero]

They are a one trick pony as they wont make anything other than Halo games anymore as they know there games are mediocre and the Halo name is the only reason they sell.

[Aaroncls7]

That's gotta hurt some ppl...

[Arnon]

Do they even have this option? I was aware that whatever IP Bungie created, Microsoft had a say in it first, and if they didn't care about it, then Bungie could do whatever they wanted with it.

[DaTruth]

That was the game that made me buy a PS2! I was adamant that I would hold out for a price cut, Oni is a PS2 launch title. Game made me run out the next day to get a PS2! Unparalleled hand to hand and future weapons, you could only carry one weapon and a pistol, but they made it amazing and limited ammo forced hand to hand combat a lot. The environments were incredible for the time.

I wasn't trying to delude myself with the PS3!

[darkmurder]

Ok not once did he actually say that in the article, its not quoted from the actual rep. Do you guys seriosuly think Microsoft just let Bungie go after owning them? Oh sure you bring home the bread for our console so we'll just let you guys go off and produce for a different platform. If anyone thinks this they are delusional.

[Therealspy03]

Punching themselves in the scrotum while chewing shards of glass is an option too, doesn't meant they're likely to do it.

[Inside_out]

Bungie unmatched in gaming...period...The sales there games generate exclusively on 360 are incredible...Reach WILL be huge...They really support their games and their communities...There fan base is solid...

NOW, if Microsoft gives Halo to another developer ( FPS ), then I think you will see a Bungie multi-platform game...Plain and simple...Microsoft should not mix emotions with business...This whole thing ( Feud ) started with Bill Gates....They need to move on...

If I was Sony, I'd give anything they wanted...Bungie owns everything that makes Halo...Halo...They could patent a name like..oh I don't know, Maybe something like Marathon and build a FPS around that...Bungie largely responsible for xbox live's success...

Sony making a BIG mistake here...If Sony got all the innovations that Bungie help pioneer on live, it would be huge for them...

[Lightsaber]

"are not looking at one particular piece of technology right now."

That is the only quote given how do you get anything about the ps3 from that ? Talk about putting words in someones mouth

[edgeofblade]

I am a 360 fan, and I have been working to ensure that "fanboy" can't be applied to me. I am merely a rational fan. That being said...

Most fanboys on either side are mouth-breathing stunted scum who are more interested in what passes for loyalty in this situation, than in actually playing the games. Devs only have the appearance of "loyalty" based on what skillsets they have invested in. That's about money, not loyalty.

I say, bring on a PS3 Bungie game. There is nothing wrong with that in my eyes. But that won't stop the bottom-feeders from jeering from both sides, 360 fanboys against Bungie, PS3 fans against all of Xboxdom.

Rather than Bungie taking stock of their losses and contemplating remaining a MS-only dev, we should simply turn the fanboys who will make a big deal out of this into soylent green. Then, they might be of use to us.

[BeaArthur]

It would make sense. Being exclusive to 1 platform is cutting out a potentially huge revenue stream.

[TheTwelve]

I like exclusives. We all should like exclusives. The more things begin to be common to everybody, the less competition there will be, the lower the quality, the higher the price we will pay.

Just facts.

12

[Fishy Fingers]

Or more multiplats means more developers (including indie) turning a profit, there for creating more games, and more competition.

You can look at it either way. The competition isnt purely MS Vs Sony, but between developers themselves.

There's plenty of scope for both exclusives and multiplats.

[BeaArthur]

I didn't mean bring Halo to the PS3, I was talking about them developing a new IP for the PS3.

[Montrealien]

I do not agree with your opinion twelve, it is an opinion, and not fact.

The question here is not wether exclussives are good or bad. The question is whether bungie being a mutli plat dev is good for the industry as a whole or not, and I think it is. Sony, MS and nintendo will still be competive and will keep on marketing exclussives, even if Bungie goes the multiplatform way.

[TheTwelve]

And yet, Fishy, if all games became common to all consoles, there would soon be no need for different consoles. This would ultimately lead to there being one console, which would be ridiculously expensive. There would never be a need for a price drop.

It's a very healthy thing for us as gamers to see Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and whoever else at each other's throats, battling exclusives, wanting us to buy one console or another. The prices will always stay low, and the quality will always stay higher.

And this is why, ultimately, even "fanboyism" is healthy for the industry, because competition and the fans driving them will always bring us the best games overall.

12

[Fishy Fingers]

Like I said, "There's plenty of scope for both exclusives and multiplats."

Your talking as if there are suddenly going to be no exclusives what so ever, that isnt going to happen, platform holders need something to help their console stand out from another, this is done through exclusive content.

Exclusives aren't going anywhere and a few more multiplats from what are historically exclusive developers isnt going to turn the industry on its head.

[Greysturm]

Basic microeconomics state that in a perfect competitive market the product tends to be homogenius and the benefits to the producer tend to be 0 so its better for consumers but producers and investement tend to shift to other markets. So no competition isnt always better.

[TheTwelve]

I believe and hope there will always be a healthy proportion between exclusives and multi-plat games, for the reasons I've stated above.

However, I'm sure you have heard David Jaffe's and others talk about how in the future, there will only be one console, and that all devs should compete in that fashion.

That would be the very worst thing for us as gamers overall.

That's all I'm saying. So I have to admit that I don't get too cheery when I see yet another dev going multi.

12

Greysturm ---- Basic economics and historical evidence shows that competition is always beneficial in a "healthy" economy. It's the extremes that have to be avoided --- too much competition, which will choke an industry, and no competition at all, which leads to a MONOPOLY. And basic economics, at least in Western Culture democracy, says that a monopoly is always bad. They are only "good" in socialist and communist environments, and what has history taught us about that?

[Montrealien]

*looks at China*

yeah, what has History taught us about that? Do tell.

the rest of what you explained is common knowledge to any rational person twelve, you are not teaching us anything.

[Godmars290]

Its not about content or shoving enough money in a devs face they keep a title off of another system for a year, its about honestly getting the most out of one platform. Of tweaking a game engine so that it exploits and pushes a console's abilities.

The 360 was designed around the idea of quick easy PC ports and development and hasn't much depth. That's its been out longer yet can't produce something similar to anything like Uncharted, that it has yet to set anything but sales benchmarks, says as much.

Its also a bad thing that they've got gamers thinking about sales and saturation, instead of quality.

[TheTwelve]

Amen, Godmars.

"Its also a bad thing that they've got gamers thinking about sales and saturation, instead of quality." ---QFT

[gameseveryday]

considering the fact the ps3 is a tech beast, its no wonder bungie might actually make a game for them.

[Motion]

or go back to their pc roots ;p

[Montrealien]

You mean their Mac roots motion.

[Motion]

FYI, a Mac is a personal computer :p

[Fishy Fingers]

Why not. One perk of being an independent studio is to do what you want, when you want.

[IHateYouFanboys]

thats true...........unless you sign an exclusive 'first rights' publishing agreement with one of the console manufacturers. they can do whatever they want, as long as its on a microsoft platform.

[DarkSpawnClone]

i think they will do well, why wouldn't they one of the top devs on the xbox, i think ms is mad to let them go "thank you for all you have done for xbox but .. where going to have to let you go." lol , Good luck bungie , now go make a awesome multi plat game !!!

[e-p-ayeaH]

its must to be something competly diferent than Halo..you know original.

[RockmanII7]

Bungie has already confirmed that there next game will not take place in the Halo Universe

[Colonel-Killzone]

Anything is possible. Actions speak louder then words so we shall see in the future.

[koehler83]

Game Boy is also an option. So are Windows 3.1 and Commodore 64.

Oh, and Mac.

[Omega4]

That will only happen if MS chooses it to, since part of the deal was MS gets to see their new games first before they go to anyone else.

[Shendow]

You do know Microsoft only owns the rights to Halo right? Because if they own Bungie then they wouldn't have help on Uncharted 2 (Go check out my first post).

360 users can handle losing Bungie, because what is left after that?

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Bungie is not a 1st Party from MS.

Not to mention MS lack of 1st Party developers compared to Nintendo and Sony.

[GarandShooter]

'since part of the deal was MS gets to see their new games first before they go to anyone else.'

Forever and ever? For a limited time frame? For a limited number of titles? Please provide links to the contract so we all may see.

[ironmonkey]

i dont think so anything halo is ms, anything else is bungies choice

[Marty8370]

PS3 is becoming the viable option, it's out selling Crapbox on a weekly basis worldwide. Devs are seeing this shift and are switching. Makes loads of sense.

Jump Out, Play B3yond

MOVE over LAGTAL

[avengers1978]

If bungie wants to make games on PS3 they had better bring something better than Halo...Honestly if that is all they can do they can stay with the xbox, and people that praise sub-par crap.

[Foliage]

I say Bungie stays on the 360. Sony needs some competition, and if Microsoft loses the only reason to consider buying the failbox there would be no competition left.

For whatever reason, this uninspired SD mess of a game sells in bunches no matter how bad it is. This sort of behaviour wouldn't work on a Sony console, since Bungie would have competition from other games that is non-existent on the 360. Bungie's inept games would sell very poorly on the PS3 where quality matters.

Well lets see

Is Bungie an independent Developer? YES
Is the economy all fnck up? YES
Is it wise to develop a multiplatform game to gain more money? YES

Keep trying.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi_]

The PS2 didn't need 'Bungie' games
(+ the PS2 is still selling...hmm...where is the Original xBox gone???) ;-D

The PS3 don't need 'Bungie' games + Valve + Epic...i couldn't care less about them really...if they want to then so be it but i won't be crying for them one little bit... ;-D

[redsquad]

Multiplatforms? Yes?

[BigKev45]

"But not the first option" says Brian Jarrard.

[rawd]

OH SHEE

[Dtoxz]

I agree with most of your statement EXCEPT Epic games. Gears is a great game and I'd love to see it on the Playstation. I bet if they made it a ps3 exclusive, it would be better.

[gtamike123]

It's Unreal 3 in 3rd person

[Shendow]

Bungie has the know how about the PS3 tech, Uncharted 2 they help with it and that helps understand how to make games for the PS3.

Just check out the ending credits in Uncharted 2, plus after Halo Reach is done, Bungie sign on with Microsoft is done then.

So they can make PC games, or PS3 and 360 games (Don't think they would make a Wii game) but who knows.

Just because it won't be Halo, doesn't mean it can't be as good or even better.

[GR8 1]

The CPU & GPU which presides on ps3 is not up to task and won't be sufficient to run a game like Halo Reach. The Memory on ps3 is also a problem for ps3 developers take for instance GOW3 & Killzone 2 both of which struggle and have to run at 20fps.

[Denethor_II]

Well, you've convinced me.

[weazel]

Yet again Gr81, you've displayed the awesome insight, technical awareness, and gaming spirit, that has come to epitomise every one of your fascinating posts. Really, your villification on these boards seems really unfair, especially when you present such rational, well considered, and relevant, objective topics and key-points.

..wait.

..ah, sorry. Got you mixed up with someone else.

[kazman]

* Microsoft will own around 45% of Bungie stocks
* Bungie will become a public gaming company like Rockstar and Epic
* Bungie will be allowed to create thier own engine and thier own games for any console/system they want
* If Bungie makes a game for any other console other than MS, MS will still get royalty $ from the profits obtained from that game
* Microsoft will have majority rights in the board room and financial decision making of Bungie
* Bungie is now allowed to make games for Nintendo and Sony but it also needs to be on Xbox 360 as well
* Microsoft made this financial decision as Gamers are more likely to buy 360 games than PS3/WII games per system
* An Independent Bungie will be more valuable than a Microsoft owned Bungie, More games are potentially to be sold on 360 with an independent Bungie
* Microsoft has all rights to Halo, ONI and Myth, Bungie will develop Halo for Microsoft and it will be published by Microsoft.
* Bungie will develop 2 more Halo games in Collaboration with WETA published by Microsoft
* The only games Microsoft will not have exclusive rights for are the ones which are new IPs.

my bad take 2 does own the myth franchise

[Kamikaze135]

Like we'd ever know with their Microsoft only games. I'm pretty sure it isn't an option for them lol

Fanboys are idiots for all of the statements they make. Heck, even their opinions are moot. I just get annoyed at developers like Insomniac, and Bungie for saying something like "Oh yeah, we could totally go multiplatform", but never do. They should get over themselves and made a multiplatform game.

Then you have Valve who can't develop for one console so give up and insist on trash talking which only makes them look stupid since at the very least, even smaller developers are able to develop games across all platforms without a problem.

3rd party developers need to stick with multiplatforms with an exclusive here and there and quit acting like 1st party developers, lol.

[GUCommander]

While I think you are all being crybabies and fanboys, I completely agree. Bungie has been stifled by Microsoft and Halo for too long now. I'm sure they have a lot more to offer than Halo to the greater gaming community at large.

[Colonel-Killzone]

Idk why people are debating about this bungie said a simple comment lol. Off topic i find it sad that alot of trolls have like 10 accounts and disagree with everyone on the board pretty pathetic if you ask me trolls get a life go outside and stop wasting your time with over 10 accounts.

[Gamer7l]

...just to help prove your point. :p

But yeah, it's pretty sad. This is even old news, just regurgitated from last week....yet the same stupid comments were made all over again, by the same stupid people. :o

[Malebaria]

The more the better,right? If Bungie is even remotely interested on the PS3 I say bring it,though I´d be really happy if they´d rather work on a new Ip.

[sarshelyam]

I think I'm going to take a break from news sites for the next month considering people don't seem to follow the rules very well. April Fools used to be ONE DAY. Now it's the week/s leading up to and following the infamous day of tomfoolery!

Poopoo N4G!!

[DarkSpawnClone]

oh god, your right.I hate April fools on N4G :{

[Godmars290]

Is that they either compare their 360 titles to PS3, and that they're "considering" making PS3 games. Which they never do.

Not saying this is exactly what Bungie is doing, just that I'm tired of hearing. If only because the next thing they say is that the PS3 is too hard to program for, isn't worth the effort, and then they can make titles on the same level as those graphically recognized on the PS3 on the 360.

[palaeomerus]

You guys saying that Bungie owns Myth, they don't.

Take 2 does, and has since Myth III came out. It probably has something to do with the recall of II.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

This is nothing but the same story over and over again. Has anything changed since the last time they said "all options are open but we have nothing in mind"?

My feeling is Bungie will be on the PS3 when Insomniac are on the 360.

[Shendow]

You do know Bungie already help on a PS3 title right? Its called Uncharted 2 an even the makers of MW2 help out.

Don't Believe me? Then look at the ending credits on Uncharted 2 an you can say their names and many others that help make it a great game.

[IHateYouFanboys]

*sigh*

Bungie are free to work with whatever developers they want. what they are NOT free to do however, is release a game that Microsoft Game Studios dont have the first right of refusal to publish.

So i ask the question again - if Bungie make a game and Microsoft Game Studios say 'we dont want it', do you really even want it on the PS3? for Microsoft to turn down a Bungie-made game, it must be absolutely rubbish.

it will not happen.

[GUCommander]

I think this is great. Bungie might have a lot to offer both PS3 and the gaming community at large if they just break away from Halo and stop being Microsoft's puppy dog.

[Vip3r]

They can keep Halo.

[Dance]

Mentions nothing in the article about the PS3

[Brewski007]

Something new from these guys would be nice, on either platform, perhaps this little announcement is a hint we'll be expecting something bigger at E3 , im sure they have projects in the pipeline we dont know about and have been approached by sony as well as microsoft and like any good games developer are considering their options. I for one would like to see a bungie game on my ps3 :)

[divideby0]

... stay on the 360....unless you can do a GREAT game... anything less would be considered a failure

[cmrbe]

As there will be no more bots to make fun of after they all jump off a bridge.

[Dtoxz]

Um....why wouldn't that be a good idea? This website would be alot better without GR8 1. That's for damn sure.

[Dtoxz]

not really a fan of Halo but even in the small chance it comes to ps3, I wouldn't get it. Besides, I think it IS owned by M$ so it won't happen.

[Panzerkanzler]

Anyone claiming Halo is crap and shouldn't come to the ps3 is a retarded sony fanboi. That game has a massive fanbase and many ps3 owners would enjoy those games. Please, don't let your blind, and utter childish, sony fanboi-ism cloud your judgement. I don't even care if we'll see no halo on ps3, bungie is a very talented studio and any game they could release on ps3 would be interesting! I own a ps3.

[Denial]

Well said sir.

[cmrbe]

Its a matter of opinion. In my opinion Halo 3 is crap and i rather not see it on the PS3 because it sucks.

[TD_RJ]

So just because I hate Halo I'm a retarded PS3 fanbo"i" ??

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Opinions differ dude..

[cmrbe]

Its no different from I.G. Since they are independent they have every right to do whatever they want.

I don't mind a Bungie game on the PS3 at all and i am sure alot of PS3 fans would welcome it but Bungie must really pull up their act to compete with Sony first party devs on the PS3 as the PS3 crowd are very very hard bunch to please.

I doubt it will happen though. Like i.g for Sony, bungie has alot invested in the xbox. Hell Bungie single handedly save the xbox. next gen though is a real possiblility.

[Ronster316]

A Bungie thirdststion game would sell 1.5 million tops. (even if it had naked ladies in it, we all know that it was that tart getting naked that accounted for 800,000 of Heavy Rains 1 million sales)

Valve know what a waste of time ps3 is, and Bungie will soon discover that too.

[GUCommander]

Actually Valve is seriously considering development on the PS3 as well...

[nutbear96]

FOR FUK SAKE!!!!!! What the fuk is wrong with these 'Bungie/Insomniac might go multi-platform'? Both devs have both publicly stated that they are interesting in looking into multi-platform. SO WHY THE FUK DO THESE ARTICLES STILL EXIST!!!! They come out weekly!!!!!!!! WE DON'T NEED THEM AND THEY ARE A WASTE OF TIME AND SPACE!!!!!!

[NYC_Gamer]

why does bungie keep trying to play with people minds....they will be stuck making halo games for MS forever...

[Xander756]

Crap now PS3 users are going to experience the ridiculously horrible games that are made by Bungie :(

[dragon82]

I wouldn't call them horrible but I have only played Halo 1 and ODST. Halo 1 was a fantastic game that my friends and I played all the time at LAN parties. ODST on the other hand is nothing special at all. If it wasn't for the fact that I got it free with the purchase of my 360 on Black Friday I would be pissed that I paid money for it.

[boysenberry]

Even Bungie knows that the PS3 is the future of gaming. I wouldn't be surprised if Epic started developing games for the PS3 as well. Microsoft better do something, or get stepped on by Sony AGAIN!

[IHateYouFanboys]

not the old 'bungies gonna make a PS3 game' rumour again lol. i swear this comes up every other week.

Bungie have a publishing agreement with Microsoft. Both Microsoft and Bungie have confirmed this on numerous occasions since they split. The agreement gives Microsoft Game Studios the right to publish ALL Bungie games. Microsoft can CHOOSE to not publish a game, and then Bungie are free to look elsewhere, including going directly to Sony themselves - but what do you think the odds are of Microsoft REFUSING to publish a game made by Bungie, creators of their most important and best selling franchise? I'll give you a clue - buckleys.

and before you all go off and say 'provide proof', no, i will not provide the proof AGAIN. if you dont believe me, go and google it yourself - there are THOUSANDS of links confirming it.

[DigitalAnalog]

Going multi-plat and not delivering especially on a console they have NOT worked on previously may risk their reputation. It's an either "do-it-right" or "don't-do-it" scenario. Especially in these days when a lot of mult-plats are upping up the ante.

-End statement

[Shendow]

A system they haven't work on? Have you read some of the comments? or have you ever heard of a game called Uncharted 2? A game that Bungie help with for PS3.

So while not you go back to reading about stuff before opening your mouth and saying something dumb again.

I play all systems, but I do read about most games before saying things about them.

Yes, so they gave credits to Bungie at the end. I belive Naughty Dog has close communications with them exchanging ideas and the like (hence the machinema/matchmaking mode similar to that of Halo 3).

Another example would be this:

You and I make websites and I can give you tips on how to make your layout better by simply discussing without even touching your site. Does this mean I worked with your website?

So where exactly DID they explicitly say that Bungie WORKED on the PS3 previously?

-End statement

Look at Halo Reach, when you look at the game from a PS3 user eyes, you see Killzone 2. It looks an seems like it will play like Killzone 2 did and I wouldn't put it pass Sony an some of their Studio for helping them.

Sony is more open to help others then Microsoft is an most of their studios, plus if they help Bungie that could be a sign that PS3 might get something from them, I can think of some titles they made for PS2.

To tell the true, it would be awesome to see Halo Reach on PS3 but, it would let players from both systems come together an battle it out for the best system (Or just for a awesome battle) will something like that happen? No.

Bungie are a elite studio and the PS3 offers the better tools for Bungie to shine like Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Guerrilla Games, Imsomniac (ratchet series looks great), Kojima with MGS4, Quantic Dreams, etc

When bungie releases a PS3 exclusive, i think it will be first day buy for me

meh. Bungie is not a AAA dev imo. great for those that love the Halo-like series I suppose. I just think the series is weak.

I would love to see what bungie can do with the ps3 hardware. They are no Naughty Dog or Santa Monica but it would be interesting to see what they can do with the ps3. I say bring it on besides i think they need to give Halo a rest at least till the next xbox comes out. The Halo series is getting stale.

Bungie are a much better developer than both Naughty Dog and Santa Monica.

Bungie basically made online console play what it is today. Naughty Dog and Santa Monica both know how to make linear action games well by retreading old ground and making the graphics pretty. Bungie break new ground in many ways with every new game they make.

I don't think they will become that desperate, but if all else fails who knows.

PS3 is a more powerful option

[slamdrink]

Microsoft does own the Halo Intellectual Property, so that particular game will not likely come to the PS3.

The Bungie rep said that they are exploring other technologies, including the PS3, for new games. There is no statement of bringing Halo to the PS3, but there is a hint of a similar game.

Regardless of your loyalties, this is a bold and intriguing move on the part of Bungie, as they are making a financially sound move which could benefit gamers, FPS fans specifically.
