Bungie + iPhones = ?

AllAboutiPhone's Matt Radford writes: "This little tidbit came to me along the grapevine. I have it on very good authority that Bungie is handing out free iPhones to all its employees. Why would the company behind Halo be giving them away to their staff?

"I'll bet there are all sorts of excellent freebies to be had working for Bungie. However, I'm sure that this move is more than just generosity on the part of the company, and that they are going to develop titles for the iPhone."

Somtimes I wonder where these stories get their credibility. The next thing you know, Halo is coming to the PS3 and Uncharted to the Xbox 360! *Cough* hiphopgamer *Cough*

blue7xx75941d ago

Right its not credible at all. Its all speculation since apparently Bungie gave all its employees Iphones so somehow that translates to a Halo game is gonna be made for the Iphone to the person who wrote the article. One thing he forgot is that MS owns the IP for Halo not Bungie so I doubt it will happen.

Qdog5941d ago (Edited 5941d ago )

Though not by bungie, the game has striking resemblance and plays like CE. It's called N.O.V.A.(Near Orbital Vanguard Alliance)by Gameloft. I have it for my 3GS, and the game is awesome for the platform. I have no doubts though, that nobody does Halo, like the masters themselves....Bungie.

Xi5941d ago (Edited 5941d ago )

MS owns the Halo IP, and do you honestly think they'd put halo on the iphone when they have both windows mobile and the zune they could put halo on?

Ausbo5941d ago

Ms would never allow halo on an apple product.

Elven65941d ago

Technically that isn't entirely true as Bungie is still a Microsoft LLC meaning Microsoft own less than 50% of the company.

Bnet3435941d ago

"Ms would never allow halo on an apple product. "

lol

Elven65941d ago

Disagrees for the truth? Ok fine, straight from the horses mouth,

http://www.bungie.net/News/...

"Bungie and Microsoft Corp. today announced a plan for Bungie Studios, the developers of Microsoft’s “Halo” franchise, to become a privately held independent company, Bungie, LLC, in which Microsoft will hold a minority equity interest..."

Minority meaning less than 50%

WOW what a crappy article.. Why not toss Mario Kart or Killzone on there? Stupid people I swear the problem is Microsoft owns that IP!!!

Learn about the games before you post.

Bungie can make games for PS3, IPhone and whoever else they want. However Halo is owned by MS and cannot be used without Microsoft's permission. I wouldn't be surprised to see an IPhone game made by Bungie. I even think Bungie will make a game that will come out on PS3 at some point, but I highly doubt that either one will be a Halo game.

I expect this to be announced pretty soon. Can't wait, this game was awesome. I wonder how of a remake it'll be though, hopefully not a remaster because we already have that lol.

S2Killinit200d ago

It needs to be a complete redo of graphics or else its not my cup of tea.

hennessey86200d ago

it will be running on unreal engine 5, so it will look good. The question is will it run as good as it looks

GenoPurpel199d ago

I think they teased it a few months back when they announced Halo studios. It does look quite incredible graphically but as Hennessy says above, how it runs is gonna be a different story given UE5 track record.

darthv72199d ago

it would probably be like the gears of war reloaded. Which was a remake of the remaster of the original.

...this gen is getting confusing with so many re-whatevers.

@S2K: “ It needs to be a complete redo of graphics or else it’s not my cup of tea.”
I completely agree with you and would add a VR mode as well🥺

gold_drake199d ago (Edited 199d ago )

oh yeh, theres like a showcase soon, maybe they'll announce it there.

or at the game awards

but ue5 only looks pretty. the games run ..
abit weird.

Notellin199d ago

It's being shown at the Halo World Championships which they had already announced a few weeks ago.

RaidenBlack200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

Better reboot than another re-touch (remake after an already remaster) .... but 343/Halo is incompetent now, so .... guess this is best they can do with help of Coalition

pwnmaster3000200d ago

So much memories with halo.
The original Xbox was my first console (actually 64 but barely played) and the first game was halo. Me and my brother use to play coop almost everyday.
We eventually traded in for a PS2 because of kingdom hearts lol

maximusprime_200d ago

I played the first 2 Halo games. That's Bungie's Halo.. I do not know whether 343's Halo is as good as Bungie's.

Either ways Halo is one of Microsoft's big franchises. So many rumours so it's becoming more likely it'll come to PS5

darthv72199d ago

Halo 3 is Bungie's game... so is Reach and ODST. 4, 5 & 6 (Infinite) are 343's. They aren't bad... just different. The original trilogy story ended and should have finished there. But MS wanted to 'Star Wars' this franchise and came up with new stories that sort of just sit there.

TheColbertinator199d ago

You haven't missed out much since Bungie left.

Halo CE Mod Adds a New Way to Play Co-Op in the Worst Way Imaginable

This Halo CE mod allows a new way to play co-op, but probably in the worst possible way.

spicelicka394d ago

This looks like cursed halo at its finest, love it. They need to bring mods to consoles.
