Title: Microsoft to Lose a big trump card Post by: FAUST on October 12, 2007, 11:05:17 am It is confirmed, Bungie has left Microsoft to work on other projects, even for other systems. It is unknown whether or not this means Halo ports to other systems or if the halo IP is still exclusive to microsoft. In other news, Bioware and Pandemic studios have been purchased by EA. The former has produced KOTOR, Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate, and is in development of a sonic RPG for the Nintendo DS. The other studio, Pandemic, is well known for the "Destroy All Humans" Franchise. T his purchase by EA could be good or bad. EA is known mostly for its licensed games and Madden, but they have announced that they plan to branch out in the gaming department. One upcoming title developed by EA is "Dead Space", and is planned to be up there with "Gears of War" and "Halo" in terms of popularity. Whether EA uses Bioware and Pandemic studios to good use is yet to be known. |
