Bungie chooses Activision as their new Publisher

[Keyofx]

Its a pity its just a publishing deal. I wonder how it would have panned out if they had outright bought Bungie and put them to work on CoD.

 

Keyo would have had a stroke.

Shut up and show Activision some respect!

 

They also use slave labor to make new Spiderman and Guitar Hero games!

give me rants people //

:ranting: NOT HAPPY hehehe

[WhiteWolf]

Atleast. Acti...can't touch Halo ...343 is there to ruin it...lol...

[WhiteWolf]

MS biggest mistake allowing Bungie to go.. :x

[jDaMn]

RIP Bungie! I wonder how Bungie signed the deal esp after seeing everything between IW and Activision.

The difference is that IW gave up rights to its IP, whereas the article says that Bungie retains its IP.

 

CoD = 3500,

Halo like game, multi platform = 5000?

[Karooo]

Activision can provide them a bigger budget, take care of all the advertising needs etc, MW became a monster franchise for a reason, who else is left? EA? Acti is no 1 for a reason.

 

IW were greedy assholes, talking to EA when under contract with Activision, success went to their heads. Its a bit unfair all the Acti hate imo.

So..So..this means that this is the last Halo?

[Phoenix Wright]

This is awesome.

[Keyofx]

So Bungie own Halo?

[dullu]

Great Another good studio down the drain....

 

countdown starts as to when Bungie runs back to M$ now.......

[WhiteWolf]

So Bungie own Halo?

 

 

NO HALO owned by MS. ..343 will handle Halo now..Acti..can't touch Halo...

stop over reacting ppl

 

activision just have publishing rights to only one of the new IPs that bungie are developing , they have no creative control nothing!!

 

if bungie decide they dont wanna make more than 1 game in that franchise Acti cannot even force them

 

and besides Acti has the power to publish this new franchise fr only 10 yrs and then games after that in that franchise will be up for grabs for other publishers

 

Under the terms of the agreement, Activision will have exclusive, worldwide rights to publish and distribute all future Bungie games based on the new intellectual property on multiple platforms and devices. Bungie remains an independent company and will continue to own their intellectual property. Additional terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

[WhiteWolf]

LOL! No. MS has a bigger marketing budget than Activision, not to mention smarter marketing imo. Besides being a first party title gives you a bigger budget to play with. Not the usual 6-8% of total quantity manufactured.

 

Ya MS is way bigger company than EA & Acti....

 

Acti...i itni aukaad nahi ki console bech sakey market mein ...

[Aftrunner]

Man, the meltdown over at GAF alone is worth the news.

[CarbonCore]

Modern Warfare 3 set in year 2525. Believe!!

[WhiteWolf]

There was an inicident on Bungie offices sometime last year where employees were locked out of their office/kept under lockdown by MS.

Ya, but they said "creative freedom" when they left MS, which means MS wanted them to make Halo forever. Acti can give them that freedom and a decent budget as well because Bungie is up there with the best developers.
