Halo's Future - Page 2

The game industry is too smart these days. IF Halo 3 is a big seller, you better believe we're going to see anotther in 2009. Countless series have done the same exact thing, acting like each game is possibly the last, but whenn it sells enough they just keep going.

And Rare is a bad example. Rare got popular in the first place because of a extremely popular licence. Then EA buys the licence for big bucks... They never did make a direct sequal to goldeneye, their spin off game required an add on... then they were sold to microsoft and a lot of developers quit. I don't know about you, but I seriously doubt bungie will suffer the same exact fate...

Money and Risks killed rare. Halo is already on to its third direct sequal without much of a risk or a change. As a 2nd party game, it seems like it's only having the same bumps as a MGS or Zelda. ZOMG MYAMOTOS LAST ZELDA!! ZOMG MGS2... wait 3... wait MGS4 IS THE LAST NOW!

I can imagine Bungie having a sucsessful spin off if they keep the gameplay in tact and don't make it require the HD DVD drive. And I also can imagine them staying sucsessful with the same exact series...

i wasnt using rare as an example really.... im saying in the end what happens to the company will be comparable..

but i can clearly see bungie dying off. i see the flood of FPS games hit consoles from the PC developers making the cross over this gen, and especially next gen, and i dont think bungie will be able to keep up. i think a new franchise they start is going to attempt to make a big leap, but just wont be done well enough and people will start to forget about em.

BTW, Halo movie.... not looking good, pretty much canceled for now with Fox and Universal pulling the plug.
