Bungie says Mac games are still a possibility

@Bud: So, you have 2 macs but are not a "Mac Geek"? Ok, my bad for taking your random and obviously negative post at face value. Of course, I like to actually try and make a point when I bother to post a comment, so what do I know?

#13 Posted from a 24" iMac and I have a 17" MBP. So yeah guess I'm a troll. Wake up and smell the irrational speculation and ridiculous conjecture.

i remember seeing halo and oni demo'd at macworld in 99. both seemed way ahead of the other companies in concept and play.
enough of the memories, what i'd truly like to see is a sequel or a reworking of the original great bungie game - pathways into darkness.

@ #9: Who is more pathetic, actual mac users posting on a *gasp* blog about Macs, or somebody who obviously doesn't have a Mac trolling on that same blog? I'm sure if you can't figure it out you can get a grown-up to tell you.

As to the actual topic, yeah its gonna be interesting, looking at some of the Halo 2/3 production videos its obvious Bungie as a developer still uses Macs for the majority of their art and code production. That shouldn't be surprising, given that Xbox 360's CPU is a PPC variant; remember how early 360 game demos were all found to be running off of PowerMac G5's? Anyway, while I think its farther off than the next MacWorld we could definitely see a new game from Bungie for the Mac (probably among others, depending on the size/scope of the game) later in 2008, or early 2009.

As to whether it should be Marathon 4...I dunno how I feel about that, and I'm as hardcore a Marathon fan as can be found outside of the AlephOne dev team. I just don't know if it could really recapture the "feel" of the Marathon games, what I don't want is a new game that is essentially a Marathon mod for the Halo3 engine.

Too bad Take Two still owns Myth, a new Myth game might be the only RTS with a hope of stealing playtime from Starcraft II.

Halo 3 exclusivity for the Mac. At least for the first six months. Or maybe Halo 2 first. Either way, Bungie's back and there's no denying it.

This would bring me back to gaming!!!

Gary -- Marathon has gone open source:

Sigh... You Mac geeks are so pathetic.

Where can you buy the Marathon game? Are they still available? Can you run them on OS X?

The smile i will have for the next week may be raising some question on what did i consume on the week end.

Seriously tho, Halo 2 for Vista was a faliure. The idea was there, but then it needed Vista and had the shitty Live system thats a total faliure on PC (tho its great on the 360). Now if only i could get some halo 2/3 love on my Mac, id be sold in a heartbeat.
