So is Bungie close with any other game studios?


What I mean is, for example Naughty Dog sometimes gets together with the Sony Santa Monica studio and plays basketball.
And of course Bungie received a care package a few years ago courtesy of Infinity Ward.

I know they have those Halo matches on occasion where they sometimes play against other gaming companies but is there any they are really close to?

What doesn't kill you, only makes you stranger

I'm pretty sure Naughty Dog mentioned them somewhere, and all the MW3s they had last year may be a sign of a friendship.

Key

Are you suggesting that a gaming studio can date other gaming studios? Or would they be married? Is homo-blam!--gaming-studio-marriage legal? Are there female gaming studios?

Microsoft Game Studios, 343 Industries, 5th Cell, ArenaNet, Flying Lab Software, GameHouse, Griptonite Games, Humongous, Mean Hamster Software, Monolith Productions, Snowblind Studios, Sucker Punch Productions, Torpex Games, Turn 10 Studios, Valve Corporation, and Zipper Interactive are all located in Washington State. So they maybe close to any of these studios, but I don't know of any except for 343i.

Sucker Punch Productions made Sly Cooper and Infamous 1 and 2.
That's about all I know other than Valve.

I thought they were based in Santa Monica, aren't they?

Why are you assuming that Bungie is a male studio?

Activision anyone?

I was thinking that too.

Do you reckon sometimes studios get together and have a barbecue or something?

I don't think he meant location wise... I think it was more of a "Is Bungie close friends with any other game studios?"

Smartass :P

A while back Treyarch sent Bungie a "care package" of games.

Bobcast is paid in MILF blind dates.

A couple years ago at E3 Epic and Bungie had a friendly competition for swag. (I think)

They were buddies with Team Ninja on Halo 3, and I know they're pretty much beside Valve. I think Naughty Dog and Bungie are also pretty tight.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

That was pretty cool. Gave me +1 respect for Treyarch.

I LOVE HALO! Better than any other game.

But I love Halo 3 and Combat Evolved - never got the chance to play Halo 2 :(

Also known as the Keeper of Time and Space itself.
Simply as, The Face of Boe.

There aren't a lot of formal events between studios, but there are lots of informal ties. It's a small industry, so all of us have friends who work at other studios.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

We also play softball against Valve.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten
