While this may be a pretty good deal for indie dev's, this is completely useless for people like me who don't do the whole 'mobile gaming' thing. The last thing I owned that could play games on the go was a GBA.


The last thing I owned was a big gray gameboy. Right then and their I realized.... If I have a game system on the go I'd be playing video games at least 9/10ths of the day. You need to take a break sometimes people. Mobile/Portable gaming systmes aren't a good thing for hardcores. Unless a handheld is your system of choice. When you're out and about enjoy your time whereever you are. I want to punch kids in the face when I see them on their DS's and PSP's at the beach.

No "New Halo game" will ever be the same without Bungie.

Who said talk was cheap? Text is cheaper!

Wow. Are you serious? Independant developers' mobile games? This is supposed to be your new "kick ass" venture for Aerospace?
Posted by: urk
The ultimate goal of Bungie Aerospace is to help independent developers create and showcase their games. That's the bar. Unless you also count the giant pile of cash we're all hoping to swim around in, but that seems really materialistic.

You're right it does. And in that case you surely won't miss any of my cash. I know better than to be roaped in by handheld gimmicks. Good day.

common sense is so uncommon its scary...

Soooo... will these mobile games at least be supported on the android market as well?

Bungie mobile was a bit of a dissapointment in the "multiple platforms" department.

It's Hazard Time

Then I was right, the path Bungie entered with Reach is the one they chose to follo9w, the one toward casual gamers and mindless cloned games, high price low value. Just like CoD, but on the new platform where the competition is less stiff and quality doesn't matter...

I'll always remember Bungie for what you were pre Reach, just like I'll remember Rare for the glorious N64 days or IW until Mw2.
A shame to see a talented developer choose greed and short term income before greatness and loyal fans, then again it leaves for us real hardcore gamers to search for new devs that actually cares about the players too. They're rare this day, when Bungie, IW, Rare, Blizzard and so many others have fallen, but they do exist.

Have fun, I bet you'll make even more money and can sell even more wonderful subscription plans, make mindless sequels and copy-paste what ever's popular.
Like I said, I remember Bungie for what you were with pride, and cry from the bottom of my heart when I see what you've become. Activision 2.0...

ISU Cyclones!

Although mobile gaming isn't a platform I'm very interested in I can see the potential of how this will help towards the future.

There are good indie dev's out there and if Bungie can find those with real talent and give them some help as they start off. If they end up being successful the money they can make off of Aerospace it'll give them that extra cash to go the extra mile... Think the free stuff Valve can give away because of all the Steam revenue they bring in.

Then after making a name for themselves maybe they can get more support behind them and get hired by other AAA game developers or even expand into their own development company themselves... oh wait a minute...

Nice try but you can't fool me though Bungie. I know you guys have a soft spot for those garage indie devs because that's exactly what you were when you started off.

HOLY HIGHBALL!! iOS games that you guys think are worth the time will damn sure be worth the time.

@ Grumbledock

wow... go read it again missy. They are just helping others make THEIR games. Its not Bungie making mobile apps. Its Bungie saying "look what these guys did" and giving them a boost.
I love when you franchise-haters jump before reading.

And disappointment settles in...*sigh* Hopefully 343i can revive the community's interests instead of delivering more disappointments.

I wonder if ever instead of this being solely a iOS and Android development project, maybe later Bungie could help indie people make games for the platforms such as xbox 360, and PS3.

Seems cool of them to hook up with prospective developers, but why mobile?
Why not help out XNA Developers or something?


Because mobile makes more money. Am I the only one that realizes this? Am I the only person who read the whole article and all I seen was...

"Here at Bungie we're trying to make more money by catering to a platform used by billions. So in the future dumb games that are similar to Bloons made by smaller companies/individuals can rake us in some dollars here and their. We promise to advertise for you.... Oh yeah and our community that used to be about Halo and our future titles will now have Angry Bird fans all over the place."

I was thinking that too but I just didn't want to accept it :(

  • 07.01.2011 10:48 AM PDT

Going ac-130 on it.

Now I have a reason to upgrade to a new phone.

  • 07.01.2011 12:42 PM PDT

Cool!

  • 07.01.2011 1:02 PM PDT

Nice, also will Bungie Mobile be released at some point for Android?

  • 07.01.2011 1:42 PM PDT

Haha i hated it after i finished reading it and now it make sense money $bungie$ how low and lame are you gonna get?

  • 07.01.2011 1:49 PM PDT

Play hard, have fun.

This is just about what I expected Aerospace to be about. While this is an exciting development, I'm still eagerly awaiting the project(s) that are requiring all the open positions. You don't need PS3 developers for a mobile platform. :)

What aren't you telling us, Bungie? ;)

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."

Spartans don't DIE...They go to Hell & Regroup !!!

Wow isn't that just fancy. Bungie went from Halo to Mobile devices. I can see the stock market report now... EPIC FAIL Bungie.

Hurry guys jump ship & see if your jobs can still be saved by moving over to 343i & work for Microsoft again.

  • 07.01.2011 3:38 PM PDT

This is pretty cool. Kickass mobile games while I wait for my kickass console game!

Tell you what...You go play Angry Birds on your phone & I'll stick with the Xbox. Mobile gaming is for -blam!- who suck at real games.
