New Bungie Comic-Con Madness

// July 22nd, 2010 // No Comments » // News

Bungie is at it again, outdoing themselves with more intriguing vidocs, and two of them! Don’t you feel special.

First up, we got some un-boxing action of the different versions of Reach you can get your hands on. And of course there’s the Xbox 360 Slim Reach Edition.

Second up is probably going to give every forger nostalgia until the game actually comes out. A vast majority of space and tools to help every forger. I’m talking different physics, snap angles, rotations, etc. Bungie has really outdone themselves throwing Forge into one gigantic map. This is a must see for everyone.

Bungie Enters into Partnership with Activision

// April 29th, 2010 // 10 Comments » // News

Well, this is a bit of a shocker, but Bungie has just announced a 10-year publishing agreement with Activision for their next IP. This raises a few questions since Activision publishes for multiple consoles. In the agreement, Bungie will retain the ownership of its new IP and will remain an independent company. Also, what does Microsoft have to say about this? For more info, check out Joystiq’s post here. Thanks to PK for posting this in the forums.
