Bungie officially joins Sony!

It’s ok dude. I play Destiny and COD. That’s the advantage of being a manticore. We get to enjoy all the games from all the systems.

No reason to be upset that COD is and will be the best selling franchise of 2022. 14 years in a row now as the best selling.

Wouldn‘t one need to have an original account suicide to have a next? You are striking out quite a bit. Maybe take a keyboard break?

@HalcyonScarlet:

Its very likely faster and, less risky to buy someone as successful as Bungie than having to spend years trying to figure out the finer details and technologies they need to execute they're live services plans and possibly failing. Having Bungie doesn't mean every game will be a huge success but, it will make a huge difference.

Nice, pretty cool Halo will finally be on PlayStation. Never thought this day would come. End tweet.

Will they bring the franchise back to relevance after Halo Infinite?

There are more people playing Destiny 2 on Xbox than any of the Xbox ecosystem exclusives.

What we do know is, there are more people playing Xbox Game Studios' Minecraft on Xbox than are playing Destiny 2 on Xbox. If we look at how Gamespot has scored Destiny showing Bungie taking dumps:

Destiny 1: 6

Destiny 2: 8

Warmind: 6

Curse of Osiris: 5

The Dark Below: 6

Rise of Iron: 6

We also know that more people are playing Call of Duty than all of PS games combined, which is going to be an Xbox Game Studios game.

LOL selective much? Out of your way to conveniently leave out:

The Taken King: 8

Destiny 2: That got a 9, not an 8 btw

Destiny 2 - GameSpot

Forsaken: 8

Shadowkeep: 8

Beyond Light: 8

The Witch Queen (wich is the most recent expansion and Bungie at the top of their game): 9

Destiny 2 is one of the most played games in the world, love it or hate it. Forum dwellers like yourself are a very small minority. Destiny is a very successful franchise, more so than Halo is right now and thats a fact

You were just selective lol! And you are wrong. COD blows away Destiny, which is what we were talking about, not Halo 🤡

And Destiny 2 got an 8 not a 9.

Selective again, I see. Thats the PC review wich came way later. The original review at release was a 9.

Also, no we were not talking about CoD. Lems were making fun of sony fans for thinking they aquired Halo when Halo has been pretty much irrelevant in the vast gaming market by now when compared to Destiny. Destiny has had a bad rep ever since its release on forums but again, forum dwellers like yourself fail to realise the bubble they live in means jack sh*t in the bigger spectrum.

Look, I played MCC, all main line Halos until 4. I prefer Destiny as a franchise. Better lore, worlds and gameplay

They might. I hear it's going to take all $3 billion USD to do so though.

Well that's good for Sony and Bungie, I guess. Bungie has made some good games over the years, but I have to wonder how much of Halo was Bungie and how much of Halo was Microsoft's influence on that game. I do wonder what Halo would have been like if it were that Macintosh game it started out as - maybe it would have made an awesome RTS as well.

Destiny has its fans and probably will continue to if there is a Destiny 3. But until they work on some new IP it's hard to say just how much of a value Sony has gotten out of the partnership.

Yes we were talking about COD. Maybe YOU were not. But that has nothing to do with the conversation we were having.

No need for a meltdown. It’s just games.

My goodness it seems like only few years ago Bungie sucked?

:P

How does it feel to know that Halo’s best developer is on Team Sony 😎

@SolidGame_basic:

Infinite >>>> All. Plus, Bungie hasn't been good since Halos. ;o

They're mooaar like this bungee these dayzzz...

lolol :P

I feel bad for the cows. Getting Bungie, only to have Bungie make games for Xbox. And Bungie, the worst Halo developer giving Xbox gamers the worst Halo game ever going to team PayStation :(

343i is the left overs from Bungie. Sony has the real deal while MS has the left overs, and we all saw of what those left over devs are capable off of. MCC broken for half a decade😆Halo 4😆Halo 5😆😆Infinite😆😆😆Its only getting worse with each new entry. Its as if this developer doesn't learn from their mistakes or something.

You're not going to laugh, you're just a Sony fanboy. Before this deal went through Bungie games were $70. Now that it's gone through, Bungie games are now $70. Wow, what a win for cows!

The Activision/Blizzard deal and Zenimax deals were different. Before the deal all their games $70. After the deal, they all will be included in Game Pass day one. That's something to look forward to for gamers.

The only reason you cheer the Bungie deal is because in your fanboy mind it delivers ownage to Microsoft.

@SolidGame_basic: I give it 5 years before they break away again.

Agreed - it is a big deal.

If Bungie ever makes a "Destiny 3", I doubt it will be on Xbox. Given the player base on XBox for Destiny 2 - that is a big blow to XBox. I can't see future Destiny 2 DLC coming to the Xbox on the same date as PS, either.

I'm not cheering this deal, that's what your corporate boot-licking ass does. And those games will still be $70 for those that don't want to fall into the Game Pass trap.

Bungie has confirmed that they will not change anything regarding delivery to all platforms. Which is great for gamers.

Agreed. Bungie likes money. PlayStation does too. Putting their games on fewer platforms means making less money. These companies are in the business of making money, not platform loyalty or silly System Wars. Destiny still performs quite well on Xbox. (Better than Halo Infinite) So there’s clearly a player base there. Keeping them engaged and spending money is the best move for Bungie and PlayStation.

Wait, so Destiny 2, a game from half a decade ago is doing better on Xbox than their flagship live service fps? This can't be real, can it???🙄I don't believe it. I really don't.

I see Halo Infinite is still ahead of Destiny 2.

Hell finally frozen over lol

Xbox had bungie when it was a 21yr old stunner.

Sony are getting it when it's 54,old,wrinkly and it's tits are saggy🤣

@x_hedon: Damn! Took me a minute to scroll down and find those two games. 🤭

goldenelemental is trash with lists, he can't even filter properly

Yeah, 343 is sucking ass with new content release. FAIL.

Sony doesn't actually care about Bungie. Sony's purchase of Bungie was about asset-denial of them to Microsoft. "live service expertise" is only a tertiary benefit. The real threat that Sony was afraid of was the enormous amount of renewed Xbox/Halo momentum if Microsoft got them. Just there was with Bethesda. That's what Sony was willing to spend $3.7 billion dollars to neutralize.

All of Sony's messaging about this deal seems to be about what Sony is getting out of Bungie. Does anyone see how silly this is? It would be like Microsoft buying NaughtyDog, and using them as an outsourcing studio to help make Hellblade 2.

What is being left out of the equation, is how are the interests of actual Bungie fans furthered by this deal? If you were a lifelong bungie fan (which means likely a lifelong Halo fan, someone like ChrisRayGun/ HiddenXperia/ LateNightGaming/ TheActMan/ UltimateHalo) did you wake up on January 18th to this news, and start screaming? Were you in the throws of ecstacy? Was this the superbowl, or christmas to you? Were you like "yay!!" when you found out that Sony bought Bungie? Probably not. In fact, you probably werent happy at all that your favorite developer/franchise of all time would not be reunited, all because Sony needs help making goddamned Killzone and Resistance not be shitty. You likely would have had many or all of those reactions if Microsoft had bought them.

the only party that seems to benefit from this deal is Sony (who gets to brain-drain Bungie), Playstation fanboys (who get twitter ammo), and well....bungie and its developers, some current and former of whom are legacy shareholders get to become very very rich. (and some, including Marty O'Donnell, and Marcus Lehto, deserve to, so thats a plus)

That's the funniest thing about all this, is seeing PlayStation fanboys suddenly posess an ownership of Bungie, and becoming specially interested in capping for them. None of these clowns ever (seriously) played Destiny, or even the Bungie Halo games like that. If Microsoft bought them, they'd be downplaying/shitting on them, just like they used to in the 360 days. They don't give a flying rats ass about Bungie. They just want fodder for twitter list wars, and their console warrior fantasies.

The top Halo Infinite devs defect to make a new studio for NetEase. 343 can't catch a break these days.

https://wccftech.com/halo-infinite-devs-defect-found-jar-of-sparks-new-studio-netease/

It would be nice if Bungie attempted a new IP instead of just continuously milking Destiny.

Oh yuck! Net ease, the loot box, mobile, Chinese censorship group? RIP to those employees. Lol 😂

Just stop fanboying for Sony so damn hard and take the L.

You've had two AAA games to play since 2020 on series consoles. It's not me taking an L. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So, you can't count?😂

2 AAA games on Xbox > 0 AAA games on PlayStation.

Another blow to MS and the Xbox brand.

@Heil68: how?

Loosing OG Halo/Destiny dev to Sony. This is SW's Afterall. :P

But Bungie is maintaining its multiplatform status. So, where is the loss?

You're cheerleading flipbook games right now. You've completely lost the battle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m cheerleading an autoplatforming pussy game too. My marbles are all gone.

In SW's it means EVERYTHING :D

lol who cares, im not playing their shooters on a controller (lol) on the platform with the highest input lag (lol) and lowest fps (lol).

PC version of whatever they have planned. Thanks.

You don't play on controller because it takes too much skill, and we all know that hermits don't have any.
