[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Oddley765 I just have to raise some simple logic here and ask why would you think previous IP could deduce future IP when the developer probably didn't or doesn't plan such things. Frankly I doubt the universe, company and future game development is that well laid out. After all books and games don't even gel well together.[/quote] To be honest it seems viable considering the past two IP's have been inspired by the same story. Their next IP will complete this parallel, so why stop now? Halo and Marathon very loosly based some of the key story arc on these old legends, I think, very much on purpose. The new IP could be based on anything, yet still be true to the story of Joyeuse due to the limitless varations of metaphors they can use to portray certain moments in Joyeuse's story. Basicly what I'm trying to say is that Bungie have used the story of Cortana and Durendal very loosley in their past IP's so it wont be a huge task using a few comparisons to Joyeuse's story in their new IP.
