Whats funny is the fact that everyone has missed the "Bungie going Multiplat" part and are going off on the "Bungie partners with Activision" part....

including myself :p
The going multiplat news had been around for a while no? But Activision as a publisher is the real shocker here, specially after their recent issues.

It most certainly is....But the agreement of Bungie keeping rights to their own IP is the only good thing i see out of all this.

Plus the fact that Activision is the largest Video games Publisher in the world right now, may be that shows that what Bungie might have next in line might be something really good (or they atleast expect it to be) thats why they opted to contact a company like Activision to gain better exposure...

?

The catch: Jason Jones and a handful of other Bungie employees have been working on this game for 6 years now.....So thats saying something. Can't wait to see what it is....

Bungie’s new ten-year deal to have its new IP published by Activision seems to be a good enough reason to replace Infinity Ward, according to one analyst.
In fact, Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia seems to think the house that built Halo would be a “very good fit” as a potential replacement as developer of any future Modern Warfare titles.
“We feel that, if needed, Bungie would be a very good potential fit to replace Infinity Ward on development of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare franchise in the future,” he said.
But despite that, Bhatia reckons there’d be a “low probability” of this happening anytime in the near future.
Already, Bungie’s Joe Staten has said it needed to get the announcement of the deal out there to “break through” the “noise” of what’s happened recently at IW.

so how good will be the next call of duty or call of halo ?

Yeah, that's a positive aspect.

Plus the fact that Activision is the largest Video games Publisher in the world right now, may be that shows that what Bungie might have next in line might be something really good (or they atleast expect it to be) thats why they opted to contact a company like Activision to gain better exposure...
I donno man, Activision promises exposure irrespective of the quality :p


The catch: Jason Jones and a handful of other Bungie employees have been working on this game for 6 years now.....So thats saying something. Can't wait to see what it is....
6 years....damn, that's even longer than GT5 :lol:

'cept a whole fucking crew is working on GT5 for 5 years :lol: whereas Jason has been working with a handful of Bungie's heads since right after Halo 2 while the rest of Bungie were focusing on Halo 3, ODST and now Reach.

Someone told me that majority of higher officials in Bungie are women.

Guess that means Modern Warfare 3 will feature Soldier dress-up for the first time!

The word you're looking for is development studio's, and bioware was never a part of MS, they were always independent.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
