Mr March Posted February 19, 2013 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 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.
Benson13 Posted February 19, 2013 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.
anime52k8 Posted February 20, 2013 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 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.
TyrValein Posted February 20, 2013 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
PetarB Posted February 20, 2013 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...
azrael Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 While (like others have said) the idea of little to no story doesn't really appeal to me,....The idea of no PC-release REALLY doesn't appeal to me.
anime52k8 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 The idea of no PC-release REALLY doesn't appeal to me. 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 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 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.
VF-15 Banshee Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I'm kinda excited by this game. Let's see what ya got Bungie.
Lightning Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I'm kinda excited by this game. Let's see what ya got Bungie. ^this! Plus the aerospacecraft selection is what hooked me
TyrValein Posted February 21, 2013 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.
taksraven Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 YAY, ANOTHER FPS, YAY........ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Negotiator Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Wel its confirmed that its not exclusive to ms, but will be on ps3 AND ps4 with exclusive content for ps4. I like the word play they use for this game, but cmon, its an mmofps.
azrael Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Those that wish to participate in the beta can sign up here: http://www.bungie.net/en-us/View/bungie/userresearch/index
anime52k8 Posted March 8, 2013 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. Edited March 8, 2013 by anime52k8
Benson13 Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 I signed up too. If this is going to be as epic as it could be I'd like to be a part of it.
anime52k8 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) hey, it's that dude from Revolution who's kind of an a-hole. I want to be excited for this. I need an excuse to want to buy an Xbox One when it comes out. (In addition to Watch Dogs and Halo 5). Edited May 23, 2013 by anime52k8
Hikuro Posted May 24, 2013 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.
CoryHolmes Posted May 24, 2013 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?

HOWEVER...........yeah It'll probably be Xbox 1. Word on the street is that it'll be for PS3/4 and Xbox 360/1. During these transition periods most games are released for both generations.

Sadly, not all trailers can reach that lofty standard of grossly misrepresenting the actual gameplay experience.
Benson13 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 hey, it's that dude from Revolution who's kind of an a-hole. I was thinking hey, it's that drug dealer guy from Breaking Bad that's definitely and a-hole.
Knight26 Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 hmm, pc version at all? I will be avoiding the xbox 1
azrael Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 hmm, pc version at all? I will be avoiding the xbox 1Bungie's most recent official response: Maybe. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/124337-Destiny-May-Appear-On-PC-Says-Bungie
big F Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 All the cut scene vids make it look nice but I want to see actual game play be fore I make a decision to buy or not.
CoryHolmes Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Sadly, not all trailers can reach that lofty standard of grossly misrepresenting the actual gameplay experience. I know But they DID set the story and were hella entertaining to boot. That Destiny trailer... just some dudes standing around and shooting at other enemy dudes while a real dude is reciting a poem to some possible little dudes? Fail.
Knight26 Posted July 3, 2013 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.

big F Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Well Im more happy that I have seen some game play. Nothing beats a few headshots and wacking enemies with the butt of your gun. Scenery looks nice too.
Tochiro Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 So it's basically a more serious borderlands. I can dig it. May get it on the PS4 though. Hey, we could always form a MW team! :-)
