There's only so much you can do with a portable device.
Pressing a bunch of touch screen displays on an incredibly awkward keyboard is not the "next level of gaming."
Sorry for those of you who have their noses up Bungie's ass, but this is not "cool" or "awesome."
THANK YOU.
Nice to see i'm not the only one who realizes how ridiculous this is.
Why anyone would focus on developing games for a platform that's main function is not games is beyond me. When you mix two unrelated things, you sacrifice features of both for a slight amount of added "convenience." For example, Gameboy games were never as good as their SNES counterparts. Sure, they were similar, and a lot of GB games were great games. But no one can argue that had they been made for a console like the SNES that they wouldn't have had more potential. Granted the GB had the portability, but it sacrificed potential. The question is, is it worth it? Would you rather have a low-rate game you can take with you, or a quality game you can play at home? I'm fine with just playing at home personally, the way i've been doing all my life. Halo 4 isn't going to run on your iPhone, and even if it did, playing it on a touchscreen would be an absolute joke.
It seems like Bungie's going backwards here, instead of starting off developing on a poor system and then upgrading to a better and actual gaming system, they've done the exact opposite. A studio capable of producing monumental games like Halo is now going to make games on par with "Angry Birds."
From the update: "Bungie was originally founded in 1991 with two goals: to develop games that combine brilliant storytelling, beautiful art, and deep gameplay"
And the best platform to provide "brilliant storytelling", "beautiful art", and "deep gameplay"? Obviously a cell phone!
Mobile games are cheap time-wasters that are made to make money and nothing else. Nobody's designing mobile titles to create a deep, complex game. Anyone who thinks that a mobile game will be even close to past Bungie titles is out of their mind.
