TV Length Documentary on the History of Bungie Released August 4, 2011

With Bungie’s ties to Microsoft very close to being completely severed, Bungie has gone all out and released a broadcast television length (55 minutes!) documentary about their company’s twenty year history.  It includes interviews from all the major current and former Bungie employees.

I have to say a lot of this footage was not shot for this documentary, I definatly saw some of it from a bunch of previous Bungie documentaries including the “10 steps to world domination” documentary that was exclusive to the Halo 3 Legendary Edition, as well as inteviews going back as far as Halo 2’s development.  That said, that makes this very much in the style of a “Behind the Music” documentary, as there are current interviews in it with these people, cut together with earlier interviews.  It’s a very good choice.  If you’re a gaming history buff like I am, its a great watch, and if you’re a Bungie or Halo fan, you owe it to yourself to see just what went into making that game.
