They have Halo, and GoW...and possibly Banjo Kazooie (but THATS not happening) and....what else? Nintendo has its classic lineup and Sony its own. MS is really behind on new franchises. Your thoughts, Flood?

What is Destiny even being released for?

Ad Infinitum

They need something that hasn't been done before. Enough with the dragons and space aliens fer -blam!- sake.

iPhone 4S 64GB Black.

I agree. It was fine when Halo used to be good, but since ODST... Arghh.

"So- So this means Im just going to be miserable for the rest of time?!"

"No. This means that you have to live life to the fullest. You have one life, live it well. Make sure you die without regrets. Get a new life, new mate, new family. You, out of all people, don't deserve a terrible fate of misery like that. Having nothing to look forward to is good. It makes sure you want to keep on going. Living is a right, not a privilege."

They didn't get rid ofd them.

Bungie was just like "lolno kbye". They always hated Microsoft, right? Well, they left as soon as their contract closed. They couldn't wait.

360 and Pc at first, then PS3 later (about a year I think, I'll try find a source)

Get the hell off my planet!

I agree, but whenever Microsoft tried out a "new" IP in the past couple years, it sucked and fell hard.

That sucks considering MS bailed them out from bankruptcy and have Bungie the tools to make them infamous with Halo.

Examples please? I haven't heard of any (other than Banjo-Kazooie NaB if that counts)

  • gamertag: [none]
  • user homepage:

State of Decay looks promissing for a XBLA title published by MS and if all goes well for it we can expect the sequel to be a MMO game.

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

I would very much enjoy a real Banjo Kazooie sequel.

They were rip-offs, really, like the Angry Birds rip-off for Kinect on Arcade.

The only good one that comes to mind that they don't use anymore is Viva Pinata.

they do, but the ones that Nintendo DOES have are well known icons, known better than most movie/tv/book icons.
