Rumortoid: Microsoft hiring for new Halo-specific studio

If they can make Halo "awesome" again (not Halo 2 or 3) and add something new I'm all for it!

Microsoft is going to run the Halo series into the ground. They're overdoing it.

Too much Halo news lately. Unfortunately, it sounds as if they're shooting for quantity rather than quality.

I'm sick of your Haloes.

Love me some Halo, but I don't like the sound of this...

As long as future Halo titles help flesh out the mythos and stray away from Master Chief-centric stories then I am all for it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh lordy.

There's been 3 Halo games with only Halo wars announced so far and already everyone is like, OMG THEY ARE RUNNING INTO THE GROUND, NO MORE HALO MS, NEW STUFF BLABLABLA.

And yet we have other companies who taken their enduring franchises across many generations and everyone is ok with that.

MS is trying to build a studio to focus on these games, Halo is MS's baby, if you truly believe they will let the series be run into ground or start sucking, you are an idiot and deserving of ridicule. Have a little faith, if other companies can do it, MS can.

Oh wait, my bad, Halo post, here I am using sense, give me a second so I can get into the mentality.

Halo? More like Gaylo, shit sux, M$ will destroy their core franchise and its gonna be hilarious.

There we go, I tried to mispell thing but its just not in me.

I have never liked the halo games and since no one will join in a sensible argument as to why is or is not good, I choose to ignore all halo news since it holds no interest whatsoever to me.

*sigh*

I realize that a lot of people don't like Halo, but this is ridiculous...

Check out the Final Fantasy series.

Thirteen games.

Halo currently has 3, plus two in development (I'm not counting the possibility that is Gears of Halo Recon). That's 5, for those of you that can't count.

I'm not gonna count FF spinoffs either.

Same with Dragon Quest.

ESPECIALLY with The Legend of Zelda.

The games have remained essentially the same over God knows how many years.

Sure, Ocarina brought time-travel AND lock-on targeting, but time travel was just a gimmick.

How many Zelda games have there been? Let's count... 1... 2... 14 FRIGGIN games, not counting the terrible CD-I spinoffs (shudders).

This also happened with Mario. And possibly Metroid.

AND... Mario and Zelda both got horrible cartoons.

So don't go off saying that they're aiming for quantity and not quality... go say that to Nintendo.

I don't hate Nintendo; I love their games. I'm just not obsessed w/ Mario and Zelda, and I shake my head every time people say Super Mario Galaxy was innovative.

End rant.

Whoops.

My bad. =S
