If EA can get Bungie, than they could possibly start making their own consoles. I think thats what they are trying to do.

N4GAddict5848d ago

Making a console requires a lot of $. EA will stay as a software company.

barom5848d ago

I agree

and add that to the fact that EA is still in trouble financially

Persistantthug5848d ago

They'll continue with Software.

I'm kind of surprised they haven't taken a good shot at the WOW title yet.

ShinMaster5848d ago (Edited 5848d ago )

Awww, for a moment there I thought it was about EA owning Bungie.
Which would translate into no more Halo games for Microsoft! Finally! hehehe

Lol jk jk!

[on topic]
I wonder what type of game it would be.

dtalon35848d ago (Edited 5848d ago )

they are making it...well IMO it is gonna be best MMO out (I HOPE!)

it is Star wars:The old republic

remember 3dO? EA was the top shareholder.

Inside_out5848d ago

WOW...any doubt EA is crossing the line...first whispering in IW ears and now Bungie.....These guys are desperate...

DeadlyFire5847d ago

One day maybe, but that day is far off. Likely if any such thing would ever happen it would be in partnership with another massive publisher or maybe someone like Apple, but alone it is not likely. EA doesn't always produce or publish top notch games. I do respect them for giving more developers a chance than most other publishers though.

everybody wants a piece of the bungie money making pie

ShadowRyuX5848d ago

It is really Halo and Microsoft's marketing that made Halo, sure there are a good amount of Bungie hardcore, but what put Halo past 10m sales is marketing. Still I have no doubt that there next game will sell really well, but I wouldn't expect another Halo.

Well that is my opinion on the matter anyways

siyrobbo5848d ago

You say that like activision never had a massive hit like call of duty or guitar hero

ShadowRyuX5848d ago

I realize that the MW games are huge hits, but those were kind of like "freak accidents", in fact if you read interviews Activision didn't want IW to make Modern Warfare, but they did and a lot of people liked the move away from WWII and then it started to spread like wildfire. And Guitar Hero is barely relevant anymore ever since Rockband. Not to mention W@W did poorly compared to MW and MW2.

jdktech20105848d ago

so much Bungie love....and I can't disagree with it all

dizzleK5848d ago (Edited 5848d ago )

just be sure to have $10 to play it online.

i can't be the only one wondering why the F sony hasn't commissioned an exclusive from them, am i?

palaeomerus5848d ago

Not many third party publishers are interested in doing exclusives these days. The

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

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.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

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.

Putte73d ago

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

LiViNgLeGaCY73d 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.

MrNinosan73d 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

LiViNgLeGaCY73d 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.

MrNinosan73d 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_Box73d 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.

Flenter73d 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 🤮🤮
