Yes its True Last week, Bungie stated they wanted to see new People and ARE now an independent company!!! :o
It started as a rumor in a Forum Last week but it has been Confirmed on Monday. This means that Bungie is NOT a Subsidiary of Microsoft anymore!! They are now a second-party developer.
Does this Mean We could see Halo on the PS3, Wii, Or even the N-gage????
Is Microsoft Dead Without Bungie??? :-??

http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/679793/Bungie_Leaves_Microsoft.html
On October 1, 2007, a mere six days after the release of Halo 3, Microsoft and Bungie split, and Bungie became a privately-held Limited Liability Company named Bungie LLC.[3] As outlined in a deal between the two, Microsoft would retain a minority stake and continue to partner with Bungie on publishing and marketing both Halo and future projects, with the Halo IP belonging to Microsoft.
Although non-Halo projects in the future are unknown, Bungie has stated that Halo 3 is not the last Halo game they will make, and that they are currently working on an as-of-yet untitled Halo project with Peter Jackson of Wingnut Interactive.
This was Covered on G4. on Monday also.

Halo is made by Bungie, not Microsoft, Microsoft and Bungie just have a contract. And I'm guessing "divorced" means the contract is broken.
-
I DOUBT Halo will see another console. Remember that Microsoft still owns a minority of Bungie and MS could easily just buy a contract to have the next 2-3 Halo games for X-Box only. Does this mean PS3 games made by Bungie in the future....yea maybe, but I wouldn't hold my breath as I believe all the games would be Multiplat. Bungie can go TWO routes with this when it comes to making games for a new system, make a brand new series OR revive a series they started to work on call Marathon. Bungie IMO will still basically will make most of its games for MS IMO.

lol they said that about ninja gaiden and doa when the xbox released.
Now lookie what we have. A highly advanced version of Ninja Gaiden for the ps3.
People as you can see on G4 are calling Microsoft stupid because they need the contract.
Contracts in gaming companies mean everything.
Without them, exclusion doesn't exist.

Microsoft never owned Team Ninja or Tecmo, however they owned Bungie, and they still own Halo. MS isn't that stupid

Actually it was just a contract because of the insane success of the first game that Microsoft saw when they first previewed it. Bungie's been around a lot longer and making games.
They're first game wasn't for Microsoft, it was for Mac. Also around January, Bungie was working on a Halo game for the Nintendo DS, but they decided to cancel it (probably for Halo Wars). The developer of Bungie also has stated that Halo 3 is not the final Halo game. :-"

marathon series

I know about these, also i know (like everyone should have) Halo was supposed to be an rts, and then they wanted to make a 3rd person shooter, then it became a FPS, then MS saw it and bought it. Halo Wars ain't even made by Bungie

That's strange. I saw in the official Xbox magazine about a year ago that Halo Wars is supposed to be a rts. It would make sense because of the armies of spartans.

microsoft wont die cuz they lost halo XD
that be funny if it did tho cuz a guy with 60 billion :DxDie

Halo Wars is an RTS, it's what Bungie wanted to make with the first Halo game, but it eventurally evolved into a 3rd person shooter then a 1st person shooter. Now Microsoft wants the rts made, so they got a company to make the Halo rts dubbed "Halo Wars"

actually they didn't lose Halo, just look at the math. Halo Wars is being made, but Bungie has no hand in it, the guys who makes Age of Empires is developing it and Microsoft is publishing it, and Bungie isn't a part of Microsoft anymore. Microsoft still owns the Halo name
-
They dont own the HAlo name.....
-
Does this Mean We could see Halo on the PS3, Wii, Or even the N-gage?
I'm afraid that's not possible yet, Bungie separated from Microsoft in a similar way like Rare did to Nintendo.
Bungie can make NEW games for other consoles now, but not Halo sequels, like Donkey Kong, Halo stays were it was born, However, Banjoo Kazooie left to Microsoft's side, any other Bungie games will play Banjoo's "game".
So yeah, Halo stays on Xbox. It's not like if I care, I like Metroid more so than Halo so I don't give a damn if it stays there or if it leaves.
-
They tried making a Halo game for the NDS earlier this year... 8=|
-

they own Halo, pretty much the same thing that happened to Crash Bandicoot
-
Crash bandicoot is a whore. First he's on ps1, then he goes on xbox, then he goes on Gameboy for some retarded adventure with Spyro.

Actually all systems not just the Xbox.

Well I was referring to using this situation because Naughty Dog created Crash, but I think Universal kept the rights to Crash and Naughty Dog was left to create something new, ala Jak and Daxter. It was Universal's idea to put him on other consoles. Pretty much the same thing happened with Halo, Bungie made it, but when they broke away from MS, MS kept the rights to Halo, and MS won't put it on another console, we all know this.

Yeah I know. It's the creators of DMC are about to pull off another Lara Croft/Resident Evil.

Yeah, if you read further as to why It got cancelled you'll understand WHY there won't be any Halo game on other consoles. ;)
It was being developed and Published by some VaporWare, the game didn't made it because they needed the license rights from Microsoft not Bungie, So yeah Any other company can make a Halo game as long as it's made on a Microsoft Console, unless Microsoft themselves do a deal with let's say Nintendo then there's a possibility.
