Gearbox CEO wants innovation out of Bungie, Infinity Ward too
Bungie is known for their extremely popular Halo franchise and Infinity Ward is known for the extremely popular Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and upcoming Modern Warfare 2. It’s pretty much always been like that and it will probably always going to be like that. I can’t complain because they are great games.
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford, however, can’t say the same:
“I keep waiting to hear what Bungie is going to do that’s not Halo. Same with Infinity Ward. It’s like, dude I’m totally psyched to get my Call of Duty fix every year, but you guys are amazing! What else have you got? Can you give me something I haven’t seen before?”
You know what, Mr. Pitchford, I agree with you. Bungie and Infinity Ward is full of extremely talented developers so why not let them get their hands on something that isn’t their flagship title. Only good would come from that, right?
