Halo 3: ODST is almost upon us, and Microsoft has reiterated how important the series is for the Xbox 360, promising that even though Bungie is done with the universe, the universe is not done with itself.
“Halo is our bread and butter,” claims Bungie stalker Alex Cutting. “Microsoft Game Studios is the publisher that brought Halo: Combat Evolved to the scene, and we realized we had a good thing going there. It is a center piece for us. We will invest in Halo as much as we can to make sure it’s a healthy, respected, fun franchise, and we will continue to do so.
“The Halo universe is obviously very rich in detail. There are a lot of stories to be told there. As far as the future of the franchise, I can guarantee it’s something Microsoft is going to continue to invest in and make new products and exciting stuff, but I’m not going to be able to tell you, or even concept what other stuff we’re doing.”
Have you had enough Halo? Do you believe Microsoft has exploited it too much, or is there still plenty of life left in the franchise? For all the accusations of the series being turned into a cash cow, it’s certainly not turned into Guitar Hero. Have you still got gas in your engine for Reach and ODST?
