Do you ever wonder what Bungie's morale is like in the studio?

They lost an entire decade's worth of work to Microsoft... A lot of the Original Team left to work for 343i... They teamed up with Activision (???) Their last game (Reach) was butchered by negative responses... Something about Paul McCartney. And yeah... what do you think Bungie is doing nowadays? I hope they are okay...

  • No because I have a feeling that it is better than any place we work.

  • Ahh the ageless OP. The way I look at it, is at e3 Halo 4 did very well, but there was a poll on facebook right before the release of Borderlands 2, asking what release people were looking foward to most. [url=http://www.facebook.com/questions/10151201489056023]Here[/url] from xbox official page I think the results speak for itself. With that in mind I think Bungie's next game needs to aim way far above Halo, the horse has been ridden. [Edited on 10.03.2012 7:39 AM PDT]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jacob crawford And, like most people,I bet [i]if[/i] they did take that mentality, they're vengeful as -blam!- and can't wait to release a game that will sell millions more copies than H4. I bet at work, their morale is intense. They may be dark to us, but behind those curtains and men with hammers, there are men and women working diligently towards a new game, spawning new ideas and grinding away. [/quote]This. Maybe they'll make an entirely new GENRE of video games that everyone can love.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Carthurlane They lost an entire decade's worth of work to Microsoft... [/quote]Probably not. I'm sure Bungie managed to get a percentage of the profit from the succeeding Halo games made by 343. That or they were payed royalties. [quote]A lot of the Original Team left to work for 343i...[/quote]Achronos (I believe) posted some time ago that this accusation is actually false. [quote]They teamed up with Activision (???)[/quote]For contractual reasons; Activision is giving them what they want: 1) money; 2) world-wide access to publish their game where ever, regardless of medium of entertainment. [quote]Their last game (Reach) was butchered by negative responses...[/quote]I'm sure consistent +9/10s are considered bad scores. [quote]Something about Paul McCartney.[/quote]This is a bad thing? [quote]And yeah... what do you think Bungie is doing nowadays? I hope they are okay...[/quote]Working. Hard. I think they're fine; I even bet they're better than ever. I'm not quite sure yet, but they're definitely excited for the future. We'll just have to wait and see.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] lime013 [quote]They lost an entire decade's worth of work to Microsoft...[/quote]They wanted to stop making Halo anyways.[/quote] I don't recall hearing that; I thought they were just pissed at Microsoft rushing them to push games out before they were ready. Eh, either way I'm confident Bungie will be just fine without Halo. Their morale is pretty high right now because they're taking the time to make Destiny an epic experience and they know they have a dedicated fanbase eagerly awaiting the reveal; they can only go up from here.

  • Responding directly to the title, I imagine it is a heavy combination of intensity and excitement.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Carthurlane They lost an entire decade's worth of work to Microsoft...[/quote]False. They gave it up to work on other stuff. [quote]A lot of the Original Team left to work for 343i...[/quote]Not even close to true; read up on facts next time. [quote]They teamed up with Activision (???)[/quote]So? [quote]Their last game (Reach) was butchered by negative responses...[/quote][url=http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/halo-reach]nope.avi[/url] [quote]Something about Paul McCartney.[/quote]I can now tell that your post has no point and that you don't know what the word morale means. [quote]And yeah... what do you think Bungie is doing nowadays? I hope they are okay...[/quote]Destiny.

  • [quote]They lost an entire decade's worth of work to Microsoft...[/quote]They wanted to stop making Halo anyways. Now they can be fans of the franchise. [quote]A lot of the Original Team left to work for 343i...[/quote]If by a lot you mean 4-5 . . . [quote]They teamed up with Activision (???)[/quote]And Blizzard. It will open up more opportunities for them, like cross-platform play. Also, they are not in Infinity Ward's situation; They actually have rights. Better them than EA. [quote]Their last game (Reach) was butchered by negative responses...[/quote]It was received well in general. THe community bashes every current Halo game, just look at what it was like when 3 first came out. Anyways, they make games they want to play, so I'm sure they're proud of it. And that's like your opinion, man. [quote]Something about Paul McCartney.[/quote]Ah, yes! He is working with Marty on the next game's OST. [quote]And yeah... what do you think Bungie is doing nowadays? I hope they are okay.[/quote]I think they are working on their next game and keeping the community entertained during the darkness. Overall, their morale is as high as they can climb on their own rock wall.

  • Wrong on so many points. This thread was meaningless from the start.

  • It can't be a good feeling. Btw I want to hear a post mortem of reach. I want to hear what they have to say about it now that it's aged a little.

  • They have made one of the most successful franchises of all time, have grown enough to be successful one their own, have started Aerospace as mobile publishing to help fund theirs and others endeavors, and maintain one of the most loving, supportive, and involved communities/armies in the video game industry. I'd say they're pretty blam happy.

  • I'm sure all they're feeling is psyched to release Destiny. Bungie doesn't seem the type to dwell over, or even care about, competition. Except when it comes to Multi-Flag CTF and DDR, of course.
