Mr March Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Haven't seen a topic about this one yet, but it looks like Bungie is beginning the advance marketing for its new game titled Destiny. The game is a FPS, but looks like a lot more with a much broader, more interactive game environment and social network considerations. A new look at the game has been released: http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/bungie-talks-about-destiny/2300-7056/ This looks like a great new project. It feels like a lot of the creativity from this studio is once again at the forefront for Destiny. They may just have more to them than Halo, which would be a nice surprise. Anyone else interested?

David Hingtgen Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 From the description of how things work, it almost seems impossible to have an actual plot in there. Lots of "quests" yeah, and possibly a MassEffect-sized universe/backstory, but not much for actual "events in a sequence to tell a tale". In short---Halo without the story, just a really really nice multiplayer mode. Which has zero appeal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benson13 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I personally can't wait. I'm gonna be hitting my buddy at Bungie up constantly. Just for some gee whiz Bungie was throwing out hints about this game back in Halo:ODST with all the Destiny posters on the building exteriors of the buildings. So far there are 4 games scheduled every other year with a major DLC release in between each main release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm kind of feeling like david right now. I'm very much in to games that reveal concise narative and have a interesting story to tell. I'm not that big on open world any more.

Benson13 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I agree bit I believe a game can deliver both if executed properly. Either way with every epic game I play I tackle as many side quests as possible before engaging the main quest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyrValein Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) While (like others have said) the idea of little to no story doesn't really appeal to me, I do like the idea of being immersed in a game full-time. Sure there's not much they can do besides maybe an app or two for your phone, but I haven't played a game like this with "raids" for consoles with my friends since PSU. I'm going to be giving it a try. Edited February 20, 2013 by TyrValein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetarB Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I must admit, I'm a little underwhelmed. Right now, it reminds me of a 2013 version of Garriot's original Tabula Rasa. And the 'hype reel' they've put out is all that - hype - and not much substance. I'd like to see some actual gameplay. The concept art looks gorgeous, but... doesn't it always? I've been a Bungie fan since Marathon. They have an amazing team. I just hope we see something a little different here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't we supposed to have cross platform compatibility that would let PC and all major console brand play online together by now? What ever happened to that?

Benson13 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Quite simple, they can't sell consoles if you can just hop on any system and play. It's all about being exclusive.

Chewie Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Quite simple, they can't sell consoles if you can just hop on any system and play. It's all about being exclusive. Meaning Microsoft put the kibosh on that. Skylanders is a perfect example of selling your game anywhere and it doing insanely well. Granted it's toys and Pokemon level nerddom, but you get my point. That said, I think MSs big dreams of switching back and forth from Xbox to PC is a few years out as you still can't buy just ANY PC to play a lot of these games. Windows 8 across all platforms points that out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyrValein Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 ^this! Plus the aerospacecraft selection is what hooked me I think that's what appealed to all of us. I hope we actually get to fly them and customize them as opposed to just looking at them. I reckon there'll be an alot of VF-1 colored ones from here.

anime52k8 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) So I walked in to a gamestop yesturday to check on my Bioshock preorder and I noticed they had a big stand up in the middle of the store advertising pre-orders for this game. it's got no release date and probably won't be out until late next year at the earliest and they're already talking pre-order bonuses. :edit: filled out the beta questionnaire. was quick and easy. It's kind of odd logging in to my bungie.net account for the first time in years. Just dusty old halo 3 stats.

Hikuro Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Gameplay footage revealed June 10th, I can wait. I'll probably pick this up based on the footage that day and set it up for reserve. HOWEVER...........yeah It'll probably be Xbox 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryHolmes Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I was decidedly underwhelmed by this video. If you're going to give us a non-gameplay trailer, then at least do it with the style that TOR did, okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight26 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Interesting looking, but is it strictly online multiplayer? I hope not I like a game with a story, not just MP only garbage. Right now the biggest impression I get it is that it is an MP 1st person mass effect clone, ME powers and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
