Steve Jobs’ Apple Inc was just days away from buying Bungie when Microsoft sealed the deal at the eleventh hour, an ex-developer of the Halo studio has claimed.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
And Microsoft saved a great studio i might add.
Apple getting a lot of spotlight on this website over the past couple of days. Anyways, I'm glad Microsoft bought them. Apple isn't serious enough about gaming to have done this franchise any amount of good. I doubt Halo would have been nearly as successful on Mac as it is on the Xbox simply because the userbase of gamers just isn't there. Plus the systems are too damn expensive (that said I'm a Macbook Pro user haha) and, if you consider the fact that a lot of Halo's fanbase are young teenagers-late teens, how would they have ever afforded the platform to even play the game on.
Other side to the story is that, maybe, Halo could have launched Apple into the videogame market as a serious competitor. With this in mind this MIGHT be why Jobs was so pissed about Microsoft securing Bungie as a 1st party studio. I guess we'll never know. But it's interesting to think about.
Buy me Apple.
Buy me an HTC.
they were better off because back then apple didnt give a shit about games. bungie would be nothing if apple had bought them
I doubt Bungie's success will ever match the success it had with Halo. I loved Reach but mainly because of the Halo universe. The game without the Halo lore would be about an 8/10.
