Ok, maybe I just want a sequel...I really think that if Bungie made a sequel to Oni using the latest graphics that it would be sweet! Maybe they could focus a little more on the anime influences and do cell-shaded graphics. I don't care I just really want a sequel to that innovative game. The modern video game scene is yearning for a decent tactical fighting game that isn't just a button masher or shoot-em-up. What do you guys think?

Bungie doesn't own the rights to ONI anymore.

As was pointed out, Bungie cannot make a sequel to Oni. If a sequel is to be made, it'll be done by Rockstar, and Rockstar has little interest in making a sequel.

Did not know...Why does Rockstar own the rights (as if you'd know) and why own the rights to something that isn't going to be continued?

Let me guess...You like mindless FPS'ers that all you have to do is button mashing and finding ways to cheat? Please, Oni didn't win game of the year because it sucked. Do some research @$$ !!!

Don't be a jerk. It'll get you banned.

To answer your question, Bungie sold the rights to Oni to Rockstar when they were acquired by Microsoft. So, the Oni license belongs to Rockstar, and it's their decision to make a sequel or not.

Correct me if I'm wrong please, but didn't the west group of Bungie only partially finish Oni before the Microsoft deal. I seem to remember Computer Gaming World saying something about Bungie only partially finishing it and that in game it was reasonably obvious where that special Bungie love stopped and the game fell a bit flat. Don't get me wrong, I bought it from Bungie's store, played all the way through and enjoyed it, but the discontinuation of the Diary and the lack of new moves about half way through and the ending kinda took Oni down a few notches from the normal Bungie PiD, Marathon, Myth, Halo experience. If this isn't correct, I'm sorry and you can flame me all you want, but am I not the only one who really enjoyed the first half of Oni only to be a little disappointed with the second half?

The game was unfinished at the time of the aquisition. When Bungie was aquired, the Bungie West team, which was working on Oni at the time, basically rushed as hard as they could to get as much done as possible, and gave it to Rockstar once there was enough game there to play. As soon as they were done, Bungie West was absorbed into Bungie's location in Redmond. Oni just didn't get the time in development it deserved. It's unfortunate, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

"Bungie controls everything. You have no rights. Play nice."

Play nice means not being a jerk. That includes you, mith, so stop trying to undermine the moderators. I think I've had about enough of it.

I really enjoyed Oni, even if some people did think it felt "unfinished". I for one agree with MacAddict's rating of "Freakin Awesome!" It's a pity that it's now owned by a company thta cares about nothing more than profit margins.

Agreed, to be honest, there was a point in Oni's development where I was more excited about it than I was about Halo. My interest died quickly when it was announced that Oni's multiplayer was being cut.

I enjoyed oni - it was interesting. I found the controls to be staight forward and while I couldn't master every move I learnt enough to get through the game.

I liked it.

Ok, I did some FPS'er research. This (fan vote of course) sure says it got game of the year because it sucked... But it is Gamespy, nevertheless.

Yah, the demo should tell you whether you'll enjoy it or not. I enjoyed it for its originality and uniqueness. Even if it was fairly spartan at times. But its still really awesome in my opinion.

Ha, was that on purpose, or was it an accidental pun? ;)
