Bungie founder heading up new core mobile game studio - Report

@kiramasaki samsung just anounced a phone with a 50" projector

A lot of people are negative about the growth of iOS and other mobile gaming, acting as though these mobile games may steal budget from our "core" titles... but I am of a different opinion... As long as mobile gaming grows the industry, and means MORE development and MORE games and therefore MORE gaming, then I am all for it.

This guy is most well known for Halo a fps, that just doesnt mesh with mobile gaming. Unless he invents a portable 30 inch screen you can pop out anywhere, ala holograms, quality will always be sacrificed, especially with fps.

if there was a market for hardcore gaming on cellphones the playstation phone would be boomin. i still kinda want one though

I hope they make something for the 3DS... that should be amazing.

nice, only if i have a smart phone, make some for mobile games too

Ok, so if they put out this kind of game, and the game ends up being awesome, you guys won't buy it right? Because it's too mainstream, there is no place for elitism in gaming, or bettey yet, anywhere.

Micro$oft drove them to this. Good job M$!

"core mobile" is an oxymoron BUT HEY, maybe this studio can help us change our minds about that?

@balfe1990 Great minds think alike.

@Freezezzy I came in here to say literally the same thing.

I dont understand this mobile gaming hype! I cant imagine sitting ,looking down on a small display and playing a game is fun.When i play a game,its mostly about 2 hours long...not doing that on a mobile device.

As Kevin O'leary says, "the only important thing is maney"

Honestly sounds like they'd be "too ahead of their time". Core gamers still have their handhelds. At least gonna be another half a decade before there is any promise of mobiles being capable imo.

Core... and mobile? Does not compute.

well that seems like a pretty stupid decision..

you gotta be kidding me....eff playing games other than tetris, angry birds, and plant vs. zombies games on the phone. There's no more need for phone games other than those 3.

"mobile games for core gamers." That just doesn't read right.

why are they forgettin pc version of halo series?

since when people who only play mobile games are core gamers?

"mobile games for core gamers." lol I suppose their next program will be introducing a weight loss program to the children of Africa? Well..that is next on the list of things nobody wants,will use,and never asked for right?

@Barighm I completely agree. Mobile gaming is for people who want to take the first step into the very big and VERY scary world of developing a video game where one wrong step can ruin you and your company forever (remember John Romero?). Seeing someone who was in charge of the company that made one of my favorite series go over to the place where it is easiest to make money is just a shame.

lame and boring

very disappointing and obviously going where the easy money is.

This is a nice way for college geeks and new devs. to get started, but it's a shame to see seasoned veterans fall to the dark side.

Eh, I like my mobile gaming to just be a time waster as I'm waiting for a meeting to start. Maybe some core gamers will see a benefit, but I know I won't.

-_-

Yawn.Seriously.
