If you haven't heard, Activision and Bungie are working together. As part of the new deal, Bungie said it's expanding into mulit-platform development. So far, the studio hasn't named which platforms it's looking at, but given the company's tech-happy games, PlayStation 3 seems very likely.
Obviously, this news makes Sony very happy. The company was quick to issue a statement to me this morning about the Bungie and Activision news, praising the deal as "great for all gamers."
Read the full statement below.
"This is great news for all gamers," said Sony's senior director of communications and social media Patrick Seybold in an e-mailed statement. "When Bungie's amazing talent and creative minds are unleashed and married with the incredible power of PlayStation 3, amazing things will happen. Ultimately, as a gamer, if you want the best content available from the industry's most renowned developers, today's announcement further signifies that PlayStation 3 will be the only place to get it. With last years amazing and award winning PS3 titles, to the roadmap and surprises we have for this year, the momentum for PS3 and PSN continues. I think I speak for everyone, when I say I can't wait to learn about this new IP and world that Bungie is creating."
Now, the wait begins to find out what Bungie is actually up to.

@ All PS3 OWNERS
I hate to burst your bubble but Halo isn't going anywhere. Now that Bungie is with Activision it also doesn't mean that anything will be going to the PS3 before going to the 360 for a nice little while first.

Great news and in all... but.... why Activision of all choices...

If you're waiting for Halo, you will be waiting a long time. Microsoft owns the rights to the Halo franchise. Multi-platform sounds cool... Too bad they may end up selling their soul to Activision now...

I prefer the Xbox, but I'm glad Bungie is going multiplatform. Their games are too good to restrict to one platform. Same with Epic and Gears of War.

i think i just withdrew my previous idea of purchasing an xbox360 for just Halo... if bungie is going PS3, then i'll just wait....

"Great for all gamers"? Great for Sony more like it. Of course his response to the comment just talks about how the PS3 is the "only place to get the best content". Meanwhile he's excited about getting games from a developer that have thrived on the Xbox. dumbass

they do sound a little ego bloated about it and yet nothing is concrete that its about them! it'd be funny if you get a halo-spoof for the wii instead!
in either case bungie is a great company that has been stuck to one company and one ip. Even Imsoniac has had several types of games! Bungie should get the same chance!

But will this deal end Halo Games??
cmdluke
now we just have to wait and see if bungie develops for the ps3 and ports to 360, develops for the 360 and ports to the ps3, has another studio port to the ps3 or develop for both platforms simultaneously.
personally, i'd like to see what bungie could do with developing for the ps3.
