Subject: Bungie needs a new IP.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bungie made an RTS. I know, There's Halo Wars, but it could be made so much better.

Think of Space combat and Planetary assaults. I smell a winner.

Ohey guys :)

Or maybe they might bring Marathon back, y'never know.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

Yes and no. I'm all ready to see where Bungie might go next, but my appetite is far from satiated for all things Halo. Bungie's Halo, that is.

it only becomes milking when they release a sub par game

1 game every 3 years is not milking

and no they do not need a new IP

if you want something else play something else

If it's made by Bungie, we will play it.

Bungie is slowly stepping away from halo regardless of whether or not you like it, while they have stated the love the universe they just want to make a different IP or game.

I am not yet sure if Reach will be a full game, however ODST is not and only a very small team is working on that, that in itself is almost proof that they are stepping away from Halo slowly.

But don't forget, some series have been going on for close to 20 years. (Super Mario and Legend of Zelda mainly.) They still have enough money coming in to have sequels and spinoffs made, and Halo has been around for around 9 years.

Yes that's true but Nintendo makes many different IP's while Bungie is currently only making Halo games.

Forerunner Tank awesomeness will ensue

They still might be I thought they said they had three different projects in development some time ago this would allow for them to be working on a new ip

Call me Kozar - My gamertag would have just been Kozar, but it was taken (so odd, huh?), so I made it North Kozar, instead (since I live up north in Alaska).

I agree to an extent. Yes, Bungie could do something awesome and amazing. But I really like Halo... And truthfully, I don't want to see some other developer ruin Halo for me or anyone else.

Where exactly have they stated this?

I'm not trying to say Bungie has to stop making Halo games. What I'm saying is that Bungie should start working on non-Halo games.

We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero.

Frankly, I think it has more to do with Bungie not wanting anyone else to screw up Halo. Halo Wars was beautiful in the cutscenes but everything else was kinda crappy. The story was mediocre, and the characters were two-dimensional stereotypes. Bungie's probably in the "If you want to get something done right, you gotta do it yourself" mindset.

As for a new IP, They're probably working on that sort of thing, but you have to remember that it takes time and money to develop a new IP and Microsoft owns the Halo IP. I'm sure we'll hear about a non-Halo Bungie game in the future, but for the time being we've got plenty of non-Halo bungie games to play. You know, Pathways, Myth, Marathon. Good, enjoyable games? If you don't like playing games with old graphics, well, a few people remade Pathways in the Doom 3 engine, but I don't really know about the others. I guess you'll have to settle for sprites. Oh well.

Halo is still Bungie's baby, as much as they don't want to admit it, and there's a lot of ground for them to cover, and a lot of money for them to make. It's a business as much as it is a fanservice. Frankly, HALO: REACH looks interesting because it's completely seperate from the events of the Halo trilogy whereas HALO 3: ODST is not.

What I mean by that, is HALO: REACH presumably takes place during events only mentioned in the books and alluded to in the games. HALO 3: ODST takes place in New Mombasa directly after the events of HALO 2. In other words, Bungie is taking a different approach to a well-defined universe. If they really wanted to milk the Halo franchise they'd just use the same formula again and again and again, but they aren't. They (hopefully) keeping it original and intriguing.

Has anyone else noticed that the HALO: REACH teaser image looks a LOT like a movie poster? Is it just me or has Bungie started to employ a more cinematic presentation to their stuff?
