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*

blue7xx75211d 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.

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.

Xi5211d ago (Edited 5211d 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?

Ausbo5211d ago

Ms would never allow halo on an apple product.

Elven65210d ago

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

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

lol

Elven65210d 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.

All games coming to PlayStation
Next Xbox will have steam

Well, 4-Infinite dropped the ball massively so don't worry.

Sgt_Slaughter73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.

FinalFantasyFanatic73d ago

I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.

To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.

Dead IP, time to invent something new.

kaos8973d ago

Maybe they can have ID or one of the COD studios help 343 with this series.

jznrpg73d ago

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
