Activision Talks Infinity Ward, Bungie

GamePro: "Based on quotes from Activision's Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Thomas Tippl, Bungie's next game may be Wii-bound -- as well as iPad/iPhone-bound and handheld-bound. For the first time, he said, fans can experience Bungie "on the platform or device of their choice."

Teehee5855d ago

Bungie are officially a multi-platform developer.

Awesome.

captain-obvious5854d ago

i cant believe you got a disagree
some PPL just cant accept the facts

presto7175854d ago (Edited 5854d ago )

Some people are just living in denial.

"WAA!!! BUNGIE WHY YOU GO?? WAA!!!WAA!!! BUNGIE PLEASE COME BACK!!! NO LEAVE ME!!!"

No. Bungie's all grown up now. They've gotta see the world for themselves and tackle what's out there.

FordGTGuy5854d ago

They've seen the world and seeing as they had no success at all with Microsoft they must venture out...........

C'mon Presto grow up a little Bungie wanted to go multi-platform that doesn't mean they hated only making games for Microsoft. Its not like they stepped up in the world they are going from Microsoft to Activision if anything they took a hit walking away from one of the largest companies in existence.

FordGTGuy5854d ago

Wow look at all my disagrees.... all the PS3 fanboys on this website are so insecure.

can you just throw yourself off of a bridge please. ultra-fanboys like you have no place anywhere. every thread i go in i see you writing the same twisted fan-boy nonsense.

on topic. lets hope bungie finally make a new game engine this time also. personally, i think bungie are great (just slightly lazy), and i think its great that everone can enjoy their games. even turds like el botto. and seeing how well they make multiplayer. this can only be good for the gamer

PiTCHBLaCK5853d ago

I Don't think what El Botto said was Fanboy stuff, It's his Opinion and he may actually be right, but Calling him a Fanboy is just your excuse to challenge his Opinion.

Then you'll get people Disagreeing with my comment or calling me a Fanboy because I Stated a fact, yet they wont explain WHY they think someone is a Fanboy they'll only call them a Fanboy because it's simple to do without Debating on a topic Logically.

N4G Don't have many debates, Just a bunch of name calling.

...anyone could possibly have a legitimate excuse to disagree is if they were coming from the side that Activision is the devil. Still I know better so I'm pretty they are just some fanboys phantom disagreeing. However, my feelings on the subject are perfectly portrayed by ign in one of their videos. I'll sum the scene up:

-Master Chief is weeping at one end of the bar and two guys from ign are on the other side-
IGN Guy#1: What is wrong with Master Chief
IGN Guy#2: He just found out his mom is @#$%ing Activision.

Which is kind of how I felt when I found out Activision and Blizzard were merging.

vhero5854d ago

Activision only signed Bungie as a partner to get everybodys minds off the whole IW scandal and it worked. People are now excited again for Activisions next game after saying they would never buy a game from them again. Great business by Activision. They really know how to work the market and take the heat off them when they messed up.

Silver3605854d ago (Edited 5854d ago )

@Vhero Bungie signed with Activision because Activision rolled over and gave them everything they wanted. They game they are trying to make is going to cost millions of dollars and needs to be hyped like Halo gets hyped to sell. Only four company's can do that type of investment and marketing EA, Activision, Sony and MS. If you want to go multi-platform you are stuck with choosing between EA and Activision. Activision offered them ten years worth of advertising and financial support. Bungie keeps the rights to a universe that Activision is going to make popular and still get paid from the sales after the upfront money from Activision is repaid. Sweet deal for Bungie. All creativity and little risk.

Thats unfortunate... But more money for them.

Kingdom Come5855d ago

This news could prove as a disadvantage, Bungie have suggested that this new IP is going to be more Epic than the Halo Series, if the games Wii bound, I cant imagine the game being that breath-taking...No offense meant towards Wii owners, its just if they're making the game for the Wii as well, it means less time polishing the 360 & PS3 Versions.

GiantEnemyCrab5854d ago

They are with Activision on this one.. I thought this would be a given? If you can't exploit it on every platform then I don't think they are interested.. Should be on the iPhone as well..

kaveti66165854d ago

I wanted to see Bungie make a game that takes place in the Halo universe but be completely different in terms of mechanics and style and story, but I think Microsoft holds rights to everything in the Halo universe, so even if Bungie made such a game, they wouldn't be able to officially acknowledge it.

Its neat especially since not everyone might have two friends playing it. Makes it more personal to go at in duos.

Inverno37d ago

It's 2026 and basic match making features in MP games are still being drip fed to an audience that still gets excited over said basic feature being implemented.

Marathon hands-on preview | Notebookcheck

Darryl Linington from Notebookcheck.net writes: "Early hands-on time with Marathon, spanning roughly 10 hours, points to a distinctive extraction shooter with strong shell-based class design, layered faction progression, surreal presentation, and a dense UI that still needs smoothing out."

Almost 16,000 reviews on Steam currently has the game sitting on a very positive 90% Not sure if it has the player numbers but those who are playing seem to be enjoying themselves.

Putte70d ago

And as of now a 5.1 user score on metacritic. Really bad.

LiViNgLeGaCY70d ago

On Steam, you have to have bought the game, in order to play. On metacritic, ANYONE can review it. I'll leave it for you to decide which one matters more.

MrNinosan70d ago

Trolls on Metacritic, must be a new thing or you were born yesterday

The game is really really bad. So generic boring and lifeless. UI is terrible. Bad and slow gameplay. Not sure who gives the go ahead for these games. Insane all that money companies just throw away for no reason. Nobody a asking for these games

LiViNgLeGaCY70d ago

You haven't played it. That much is apparent from your comment. Gameplay is FAR from slow and boring. I do agree the UI definitely needs to be re-worked. But then again, you're just repeating a complaint you're reading about, not actually experiencing.

MrNinosan70d ago

Can you show any proof you've actually played it, by sharing your PSN ID or Steam profile? Nah, guessed as much.

Outside_ofthe_Box70d ago

Gunplay is the best thing about the game. To call it bad is wrong. Just because it isn't a twitch shooter doesn't mean it's slow, not everything has to play the same. Everything else is generic I agree.

Flenter70d ago

Yes I am. But tell me ,with goty games do you play? Have you even played Marathon? If not ...S T F U!!
So sick and tired of the hate BS 🤮🤮
