Subject: New Bungie project vs. Halo 4

Let's be realistic - Me and a lot of others was disappointed with how Halo 3 led and concluded its storyline. In my personal opinion, Bungie simply didn't care as much in the third installment compared to the previous two - now don't get me wrong, I enjoyed ODST and REACH but both games definitely strayed away from what initially made HALO a tremendous success and went away from the original formula of the first two games. 343 Industries, judging from what I've heard and saw of them cannot make a game that's worse than Halo 3 story-wise.

I hope you weren't responding directly to me because your statement has nothing to do in relation to mine.

Well, I think it goes without saying that both games will obviously be very good games.

However, 343i, while they have very notable skill from a wide range of companies that have made the best of the best games (halo, forza, doom, metroid prime, metal gear solid, etc.) I think they still have to prove themselves able to have cohesive design for a new game.


Bungie on the other hand has to prove the franchise. They have proven skill, but creating a franchise on par with Halo takes more than just talent, it requires a bit of luck. Example, Kojima Productions. MGS is fantastic. Then they made ZoE, which while quite good, wasn't nearly as notable (and since then has been considered signficantly better than people recognized it at the time...for some reason).

But I mean, it's really hard to say. 343i is making a FPS with competitive multiplayer- we know this at its base. Bungie is making an RPG of some kind.

They both really have to prove themselves, and they're not really competing in the same space. Very different games it seems.

Bungie has done a good job with Halo. I respect them for that. Somebody said that Halo's true story is done and its all downhill? If anything the true story of Halo is about to surface. Halo has been going downhill since Halo 2, in terms of atmosphere, balance, and story.
Honestly, yes Halo did get way bigger than they ever dreamed...and they didn't lived up to Halo's expectations after Halo 2.

"I'm afraid of the man I'll become if I lay my life down for the people I don't even care for"

I like both :)

Watched the ViDoc and I just realized how much more exited I am for Bungies new project than for Halo 4, made by Microsoft.

Anyone else share this emotion?


I am alot more hyped for Bungie's new game.

Halo 4 will either make or break the series!

Halo 4 will be better. Bungie can't do anything other than Halo and they are fools for leaving.


You're an idiot


He is free to an opinion and atleast his is decent.

I am going to laugh when bungie makes an RTS game or anything other than a FPS and all the "bungie fans" start raging because they haven't played any other type of game.


So in a sense bungie will always be screwed to cater to children.
So you think all Bungie fans have only ever played FPS games?

No, I don't even know what their new project is gonna be like. I'd like to see an RTS in the sci-fi world like what they wanted to do with Halo.

Believe

My gametag is not sparda34b, it was an error, gamertag is Sparda3b.

I was thinking of this all day, I don't take the game of the year awards seriously but it is sort of fun to watch, wouldn't it be weird if Halo 4(more likely 5 by that time) came up as nominees, it would be weird choosing between the 2.

As long as Bungie's game is an FPS I'll be happy, though I'll still buy it if it's something else I'll be pretty disappointed.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I'm excited to see where the new Halo trilogy is headed. I look forward to Bungie's new project, but I'm more loyal to Halo then Bungie.

what a weird sentiment

there would be no halo without bungie

Oh yeah It's Rayzed.

I'm certainly more excited for Bungie. 343 isn't even on my radar until they release better media for their game, the first trailer for Halo 4 was abysmal. It barely looked or felt Halo to me. People say it isn't a big deal because its only the first trailer, but for me the first impression means alot. 343 did not impress.

Bungie comes out with images that aren't even confirmed to be part of the game and I'm interested. A company's pedigree goes a very long way in advertising. 343 has nothing going for them other than that they are working on Halo. I don't really trust Frankie either.

I share the emotion TC. This is going to be my first bungie game that i will be hardcore playing upon release. Every other bungie game I had to discover myself a few months to a year after, starting with halo 1.

When i saw the 2 seconds of what im assuming is the engine in action, i squealed with approval.

I was born ready
