If you haven’t checked it out yet there is a great summary video on youtube (search for ex-Bungie next to 343 industries). It is a totally unbiased comparison to how both companies have approached storytelling, art direction, and game development and how they contrast. Nobody can say for sure which approach is right of course! It is really eye opening to see how dramatically different each company is - and I think as a player it really becomes obvious when you play the earlier Bungie Halo titles vs. the new ones.
Have you watched it yet? Would love to hear everyone’s feedback!
Bungie is really good at telling amazing stories… They have their unique thoughts about creating games for sure. They actually remind me of Apple when Jobs was in charge… Some good old time when everything was fresh and interesting…
Interested to hear everyone’s thoughts now that season 2 is out. Is the documentary still a fair comparison between the two companies dramatically different approaches to development, fan feedback, game mechanics?
