Bungie's 20th Anniversary Vidoc

Really interesting documentary.

I moved back to PC gaming before ODST came out but this makes me really want to grab it and Reach.
 
Man that was sweet. Been a fan ever since Jan 1995 when a co-worker snuck into my office and installed Marathon on my Mac without my permission. God bless him. God bless Bungie. God bless Tiger or whatever the fuck.

The vidoc didn't really contain any new information, but I just love watching and Bungie guys talk. The music, the people, the games and the great memories.

It was especially great to see and hear Jason Jones after a long pause. He seemed so much older, grey hair and all. Hopefully he'll be more publicly present after Bungie starts truly speaking about their next project.

I just had to start listening to Reach soundtrack after that video.

Good luck to Bungie, hopefully you will make something awesome again.

Yeah I'd like to at least see him in ViDocs in the future, it will be for his baby after all.
 
That Vidoc nearly brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for 10 amazing years of Halo. We don't always agree with every decision you make, but we bitch and moan because we care so much. Here's to one of the greatest developers on Earth. And here's to 10 more years of greatness. May your goal of world domination come ever closer.
 
This is great, Can't wait for Bungie's new title.

I mean, I seriously can't thank those guys enough for the Halo experience I had with my best friend (co-op) and the MP stuff with what seemed like the whole of my small city.

Though the only way world domination will happen is if they merge with Google.
 
That was utterly incredible. So many good memories. Thank you Bungie.

Attention GAF Detectives! Other than the sky shot at the end and the various space references, can anyone snoop out any reveals about the next game?
 
Felt like a bit of retread, having watched all the previous vidocs and stuff but it was GREAT! They gotta be ready to show us the new game soon, right? I can barely wait.

Not a direct quote "People don't care what you went through, 6 seconds or 6 years worth of blood so long as the end result is good"
The end result wasn't good, they act like no one noticed like their late game crunch fixed everything.
Now they have left MS and Halo behind I was hoping for an honest criticism of what they shipped, irregardless of the process.

Ahaha.

I'm not nearly well informed enough about their business ventures to have an opinion about such a merger. But if that's what it takes then look forward to Bungie's next game on the GoogleBox™ in 2014.

It looks like you should wait until ncsuDuncan updates his article about Destiny:

(You will love it now, too, I promise)

:P

Thanks. I wish I had a high-res quicktime file to step through certain shots frame-by-frame. If nothing else I'll have some screengrabs and quick analysis posted tonight.

I'm not surprised the ViDoc is only on Youtube, a decent quality download would be an enormous file. The Bungie.net webservers don't need that much strain, they've been dealing with the recent site redesign anyways.

Anyway, I hope Destiny/Tony the Tiger isn't an MMO as we know it. More like a PoE, less to do with missions to kill 7 Space Rats for Space Gold and more about exploring a planet and uncovering it's secrets while carving out your own destiny (I'm so sorry). Like pre-Xbox TPS Halo, but cooler.

also with flamethrowers that play the Durandal menu music

Time to stop dreaming Zayne and wake up to the reality.
“Create an economic system that will fulfill a player’s needs just as much as shooting an alien in the face. The Economy Designer at Bungie will develop a robust and rewarding game economy that drives player behavior toward intended goals and validate those systems through intense simulation, testing and iteration. You’ll design the systems and mechanics which drive in-game trade, satisfy the players’ need for possessions and wealth whilst ensuring rewards retain their intended value despite attempts to exploit or grief the system.”

Everyone knows the GoogleBox is just a codename for the Googenheim.
 
I was playing Reach this week and just watched this video. I agree with them ODST and Reach are easily their best games. It's pretty cool to see how a bunch of college kids working on games in a basement made it this far. Also nice to see Ed Fries pop up again, notice how all Microsoft personel in the video carries the "Former" label.
 
<3 Bungie. Keep on doing what you do best. I'm sure as hell gonna be the first one lining up to buy your next game, whatever it is.
 
Not really that much new information in there, but still a very nice overview of Bungie's work to date.

Halo is the reason I owned an Xbox in the first place. I was over at a friend's place who said it was pretty good and that we should give it a go in co-op mode. Several hours later and some nonsensical time in the morning we were still up, mowing down covies. Getting my own console and a copy of Halo naturally came soon after

I don't always agree with their decisions (especially Reach's MP), but Bungie are damn good developers. The sense of passion I get from them is just staggering. As I said elsewhere long ago, how many developers would have one of their head staff repeatedly take time out of their day to converse one-on-one with a fan on how a certain experience could be improved?

I just hope things work out between them and Activision without fucking the average player over in the process.
 
I had no idea the Myth II install bug was that big of an issue. 500,000 copies...ouch.

It's still a damn shame that Myth, as a series, died off. Much love for Bungie though.

Yea. It would wipe your entire C: drive. As they show in the vidoc it hurt them badly. If I remember right that's the big thing that led to Take2 buying a stake in the company.

I love stuff like this. Very well made, but that Luke Timmins is the most annoying person ever.

I dunno man, the way he explained Halo multiplayer was pretty great....
 
Damn....I love all things Halo and even went out of my way to get a swag bag but some of you guys are crazy with it (just read the website regarding all things "Destiny." Ya'll need to be solving the Zodiac letters.

You should. Personally I think ODST is the single best Halo game you can get on the 360. The best of the single player side, and the best of the multiplayer side for the 360 games.

Seriously. He cracks me up, dropping the F bomb left and right.
 
also the biggest mistake in that video:

Reach Campaign > ODST Campaign

ODST is not the best halo campaign. Not at all.
