How Bungie really felt about Halo Wars
[url=http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-09-27-halo-wars-bungie-saw-it-as-whoring-out-franchise-says-ensemble-founder]"Another problem was that Bungie was never up for it... Bungie was kind of sore about the idea. What they called it was 'the whoring out of our franchise' or something."[/url]

Well...It was the only successful console strategy game. That counts for something right? [Edited on 09.26.2012 7:44 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] catman6 Well...It was the only successful console strategy game. That counts for something right?[/quote] False. Civilization: Revolution. OT: That's exactly what it is...
-
Do not like RTS games, so I never liked Halo Wars...
-
I liked Halo Wars but it felt like it should have been on PC
-
Well... it [i]was[/i] the whoring out of their franchise.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Traffic Cones I liked Halo Wars but it felt like it should have been on PC[/quote] I agree.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CrazzySnipe55 False. Civilization: Revolution.[/quote] That counts as RTS? it stops when it is your turn. How can it be real time, and have turns that stop play? Granted, the only RTS I have ever played was some Myth II years and years ago, butI think im remembering this right.
-
I liked Halo Wars. It's kinda weird to see Bungie's true reaction to it.
-
They're people too, with opinions on stuff like you and I have. If I saw my game bastardized, I'd be mad. I'd be very, very mad.
-
For the sake of fairness, I would like to point out that there is no [b]direct[/b] quote of a Bungie employee saying something negative about Ensemble or Halo Wars in this article.
-
If I was Bungie I would be pissed as well. It was the only "Halo" game I never beat. It was utter garbage with little replay value. I don't see anything wrong with Bungie stating there opinion, because well, they are entitled to it
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Traffic Cones I liked Halo Wars but it felt like it should have been on PC[/quote]It definitely would've been much better [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jacob crawford They're people too, with opinions on stuff like you and I have. If I saw my game bastardized, I'd be mad. I'd be very, very mad. [/quote]And this. I expected during that time period to hear Bungie saying they were excited yaddayadda. But it would never surprise me to hear any of them say they were pissed about it. I would be. It's weird to have another studio working on your stuff, in a completely, radically different way, regardless of their skill or quality.

Hmmm... I'd like to see the full interview, it might be more telling.
-
It's true. halo was whored out for this game.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Hylebos Hmmm... I'd like to see the full interview, it might be more telling.[/quote] But what really needs to be more telling? Again I say they're people too, with opinions. I don't know if they're being placed on a pedestal or something, or if you're just curious. But as it stands, they probably didn't like it all that much and are more than entitled to their opinions.
-
It's really not that surprising.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Traffic Cones I liked Halo Wars but it felt like it should have been on PC[/quote] StarCraft 2 would have made it useless. Age of empires never was a real rival for the StarCraft franchise. [Edited on 09.26.2012 9:30 PM PDT]

I appreciate their candor. I also appreciate them not raising their concerns publicly during development. That's just dirty pool.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] OneDeadCaveMan It's true. halo was whored out for this game.[/quote] Now we kinda of pressume how they might feel about Halo 4.

That, and I've been misled by articles before that didn't include the full interview like that entire [url=http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2407472,00.asp]EA says Dead Space is less Scary[/url] thing that happened a while back. Regardless, I imagine it will be an interesting read.

I liked Halo Wars for the most part, I really wish it was on PC however.

Also have to remember the Command and Conquer games. OT: It was fun to play, but don't have much choice on a console. Agree it could've been done way better. Not going to make Halo 4 comments.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ankerd123 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] catman6 Well...It was the only successful console strategy game. That counts for something right?[/quote] Define successful.[/quote] More than 5 people bought it.

...We respect what Bungie said, but in my opinion Ensemble Studios, did a good job,
than Bungie. -
Sorry, my bad, Civ is a TBS. You win.
