Bungie: We Won’t Be Doing Any More Halo Games

Wow, I didn't ever expect to use any Halo pics on this site…and now, I've used two in one day.

But it's not because the immensely popular FPS franchise is coming to a PlayStation platform; in fact, it's for the exact opposite reason. Following the news this morning that Activision and Bungie had signed a 10-year publishing deal , Bungie has commented on the idea of a Halo title coming to the PS3. First, Bungie's Brian Jarrard told VideoGamer that Halo: Reach will be the studio's final game in the series. "We definitely won't be producing any new Halo projects beyond Reach," he said. As for what they are making, we have no idea, but Sony's Patrick Seybold wrote on his Twitter page that the combination of Bungie and the PS3 is a potent one:

"Congrats to Bungie. Marrying their creative minds and incredible talent to the power of PS3 will be like giving PS3 fans Halo on steroids."

Remember, Bungie is not a part of Activision, so the team should be relatively free to produce what they will. Furthermore, it's important to understand that Bungie has been free of Microsoft since 2007 so they've likely been working on something all this time, which means the project is closer than you might think. That announcement might just show up at E3…

Great, I want more sci fi FPS, that's lacking in the FPS genre!!
And even if there's some sci fi FPS, they're not that good.

Going from Microsoft to Activision, things must have been really bad!

Halo is one of the most overrated games going, I have played, enjoyed but then easily forgot, and that is when you are forced to play many areas twice with lame backtracking.

Have still yet to finish Halo 3, I keep going back and doing a few more levels but it fails to draw me in and want to play more. Must of had the game for about 3 years now.

ahhhhhh bungie can we make up our minds please?
could swear i just heard them say they may do another halo game in the future a few days ago!

anyway i wish they would do a horror game.
either that or a traditional 2D platformer like crash bandicoot but fill it with puzzles like the ones out of darksiders.
maybe a game like the experimental weapons mode off shadow complex.
that is by far the best thing i have played this generation!
so much fun going through all the levels figuring out what you have to do.
FINALLY! a game that makes you use your brain a little!

It's just Halo. I did enjoy the first one, but can honestly say i lost all interest when Halo 2 was released. Even if Bungie were to bring Halo to the PS3 it wouldnt instantly make it a great game.

while I honestly don't care about Halo or Bungie, good for them on dumping Halo and free themselve. Hopefully other developers like Naughty Dog would follow suit and request their freedom from Sony.

They still should have found another publisher. Activision is evil! Bungie = replacement for Infinity Ward.
