A Halo game on the PS3?

Bungie has refused to comment on whether its first post-Halo: Reach release is being developed for PS3 - but hasn't taken the opportunity to deny it, either.

Since separating from Microsoft in 2007, the firm is free to develop on multiple platforms - and the rumour mill is rife that its new title will be available on Sony's console.



However, when CVG put the question to Bungie community boss Brian Jarrard, he said the decision was "undefined right now".

He told CVG:

"I mean, I think our whole future's kind of undefined right now and it's definitely not something we're going to be comfortable getting into too much detail about.

"We've had another team internally [other than those making Reach] for quite a while now - they've been working on the genesis of what will become our next big thing.

"It's a little premature to get into specifics, but you know I think we have a really good mix of old blood and new blood in the studio."

The second and final instalment of our interview with Bungie will be up on CVG later tonight. You can check out part one here.

Please for the love of god no no no!

Truckasaurus Rex?

no that would feel weird like playing gears of war 1 with a ps3 shape controller on PC. but that would be alot of $$$

bungie owns halo , ms just bought an agreement,

just like rare! its 2nd party not first ,

ms doesnt have first party they aint nintendo ,

nintendo or sony ,

myiamoto makes his o wn games i dont think microsoft does , if so its not halo , or pgr or pd etc as we all found out in 2007 bungie has the right to publish halo for what ever it wants dont you remember in 2000 halo was supposed to be a ps2 and xbox game ,,

duh , ,

Not to sound rude but why even raise this question? What you're referring to is killing off exclusivity? Then what would be the point of multiple companies making multiple platform consoles? Might as well hold hands and make ONE single console for everyone, everywhere. With what you just said, someone can ask why isn't God of War 3 on the Xbox 360? Or why the did FF13 become multi-platform? Will FF13 versus be on Xbox 360 now? I hate it when people want exclusive games to go multi-platform. Go buy an Xbox 360, a Wii, and/or PS3 like everyone else. Elian2530

but youd save money. on having 1 console and can focus on 1 easier especially if your a Trophy/achivement collector/hunter and not having to adjust controls

Can't happen. Halo is Microsoft's IP.

I think you all are missing the point of the post, it's just saying Bungie's next game could very well come to the PS3 now that they are no longer with Microsoft. It's obviously not going to be Halo, they're done with that after Reach (for now anyway).

I'm cool with it. They are obviously talented developers. The more the merrier.

Nope. If Bungie wants to make a game for the PS3 that's fine, Microsoft can't say a thing. But Halo is owned by Microsoft, it'll never happen.

Literally impossible. Microsoft owns the Halo IP, Bungie owns Marathon.

they could make a lot more money. but i dunno if any ps3 fans would by halo for the ps3

Incorrect.

MS get first refusal on publishing rights for all future Bungie titles. If Bungie want to make a PS3 game, MS can simply say no, we're publishing it.

Unless of course the game looks terrible, in which case MS wont take the chance.

I wouldn't mind a Halo-ish game developed by Bungie on the PS3. I dont want Halo though. They have milked the heck out of that Franchise.

Just know that if a Bungie game is to come to the PS3, it won't be Halo. Microsoft, not Bungie, owns the IP, meaning you'll never see a Halo game on the PS3. Unless, of course, Microsoft wants their top-selling title on the rival console, which, obviously, will not happen.

EDIT: TC, you really should take the "Halo" out of the thread title. It can't come to the PS3 for the very reason I, and a few others, stated. A Bungie game can happen, it just can't be a Halo game.

I wouldn't call it milked. It's had six titles in a little over eight years. It isn't like Call of Duty, which has had 13 titles(14 if you count Mobilized as separate) since 2003.

I think the PS3 would blow up from the irony.

No thanks.

A halo game will never be on Ps3 because MS owns the IP, however, I think it is certainly possible that a Bungie developed game could come to ps3 since Bungie is now independent. I'd rather have a new IP made by Bungie than a Halo game; Halo is just average to me and blown out of proportion by fanboys.

Need for Speed, yeah I won't even bother with that since it's EA, you know it's been milked.

N7Sovereign

EA is back on top. They've experimented with new IPs and have found success. If anything, they're the member of the Big 3(EA, Activition, Ubisoft) that milks less than anyone.

I doubt it would happen, but if it did, it would finally shut up the x-bots!

I certainly wouldn't mind a game from Bungie on the PlayStation 3. I am a gamer after all.

Wow , your Master Chief and Drake PSN chat sig is hilarious!

This thread is sorta pointless. Halo is a great game (not including halo wars) but it will never be on the PS3 because M$ owns it (as others have stated). There's still a chance Bungie will develop their next game for the both the PS3 and 360.

even though i want to see it but it's impossible as Halo is owned by microsoft

Terrencec06

I would never have believed a Final Fantasy game would appear on the 360 either so who knows:P

I don't like Halo to be honest. PS3 doesn't need it

Whoa there... Bungie is free to develop games for whomever they want, but Halo is owned by Microsoft same as Gran Turismo is owned by Sony. MAILER_DAEMON

[QUOTE="randonw"] Seriously? And why would I want to go out a buy a new system just to play another game? The current setup with multiple platforms benefits the sellers not consumers.JustPlainLucas

Okay, I do see your point. I have no problem with a game going cross-platform after a period of time though.

I wouldn't want it, just like I wouldn't want Zelda on the PS3.NotAFurry

I dont care either way really. PS3 doesnt really need Halo we have plenty of AAA titles as it is. I wouldnt mind an FPS made by Bungie to be on the PS3 though, i would check it out.

But in that case Polyphony Digital is also owned by Sony while Bungie is independant
