I want PSO2 meets Halo >:(

I think we're getting it.

I am setting myself up for disappointment. I know.

[Woorloog]

I imagines the missing word is "breaks traditional [boundaries] of story, cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes..."

Haven't others claimed such as well? Can't say i remember any boundary breaking games...

[TheOddOne]

I want PSO2 meets Halo >:(

Sounds more like Borderlands, bro.

[bdizzle]

I guess no chance of a Wii U version?

Probably not :-(

Just a reminder, this pic was discovered yesterday:

Did Edgar Rice Burroughs help with character design?

Dark Souls isn't a loot game. There are no variations in stats and weapons can be found in the same exact spot every single playthrough. It's a dungeon crawler and RPG. When I think of loot games I think more of Torchlight, Borderlands, Diablo.

Aye, admittedly I haven't played Dark Souls, and my knowledge of the 'franchise' is garnered from a 30 minute session with Demon Souls. By loot I meant items that are obtainable and offer character customisation, and in that respect it looks like I was correct judging from the new materials.

[Oblivionmancer]

Is it not a sci-fi FPS set hundreds of years into Earth's future?

Is this a disingenuous, deliberately reductive and obtuse way of 'defining' halo?

[wwm0nkey]

Sounds more like Borderlands, bro.

I am fine with that too as long as we get a PSO styled hub system but bigger and modeled after something like New Mombasa from ODST

[Mifune]

This looks really cool. Maybe it's time to finally play a current-gen Halo game.

[dogmanstaruk]

One man will be very happy with all the money.

I'm I the only man who doesn't despise Bobby K?

;p

Sci-Fantasy is the straw that stirs my drinks.

"Explore our old worlds"

"Worlds"

Plural bitches!

Chromehounds meets Halo.

[Ghost_Protocol]

I don't know why you jumped to that conclusion.

"Cooperative and competitve multiplayer modes"

Are those the kinds of features that get advertised for an MMO, or a single-player game? I feel like they're implied with MMOs.

[Beckx]

Chromehounds meets Halo.

Now you're just being mean. :(

[GuitarAtomik]

I'm loving the art for this thing so far. Can't wait to see some screens.

[Randdalf]

Bungie really branching out here.

[wwm0nkey]

Chromehounds meets Halo.

So...PS2 but where you can actually win the war?

I want ChromeHounds 2 again now :(

[EvB]

Chromehounds meets Halo.

Words with friends meets Halo

[bone_and_sinew]

I think the leaked documents said they were targeting fall of 2013.

This Fall most likely.

:O this is exciting! I wish more devs did this! I just assume any game announced is 3 years away.

[AnonymousTipster]

Activision wouldn't touch something even remotely similar with a ten-foot pole. Lets not kid ourselves.

I know that hating on Activision is the hip thing to do and all, but this is a wee bit ridiculous.

[lockload]

Not zero.

Didnt it say in the contract that its next gen exclusive to xbox 720 for a year?

The contract was revealed as part of court case from what i remember http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/21/ac...code-named-de/

According to the documents, Bungie has agreed to create four "sci-fantasy, action shooter games" in a project code-named "Destiny" (for which Bungie filed trademarks last year). The first will be an Xbox exclusive (360 with the option for its successor) in fall 2013 (versions for other systems would follow one year later) with followup games on Xbox successor, PS3 successor, and PC in 2015, 2017, and 2019. Four DLC expansions, code-named "Comet," are included in the deal, due fall 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020.

[Spawnling]

I want those posters. Awesome stuff!

[Gahiggidy]

I guess no chance of a Wii U version?

If Wii U owners express interest in the game, I'm sure they will include the platform in their plans for release.

[Blueblur1]

Customizable weapons and gear? Ruh-roh.

[Hindle]

The design on the alien is awesome. Bungie are going to raise the bar again.

I can't bloody wait.

[GhaleonEB]

Customizable weapons and gear? Ruh-roh.

It's not Halo. :p

[RoKKeR]

Customizable weapons and gear? Ruh-roh.

OH NO. Player choice!? How dare they.

[Chuck]

"From the creators of HALO and the publishers of X-men Destiny comes..."

[Ghost_Protocol]

Customizable weapons and gear? Ruh-roh.

AND vehicles. How could you leave that out :)

The design on the alien is awesome. Bungie are going to raise the bar again. I can't bloody wait.

Which alien are you talking about? The ones on the poster? Or the figure? I think the figure guy looks like something out of John Carter tbh...

[Arnie]

Customizable weapons and gear? Ruh-roh.

Might not translate to multiplayer (although that's optimistic).

[electricpirate]

Activision wouldn't touch something even remotely similar with a ten-foot pole. Lets not kid ourselves.

In terms of ball breaking challenge and theme.... no, definately not.

In terms of innovative online interactions, i don't see why not. We know the themes of Destiny are more T rated.

Challenge is an open question and honestly, it's one of my biggest concerns about destiny. Halo does a great job of opening up lots of rewarding difficulty paths, mostly through skulls, and meaningful challenge settings. Bungie obviously believes they have a possible massive success here, can they make sure to carve out an area for the fans who loved the challenge of Halo legendary?

[Crawl]

still no platforms have leaked? and i am not talking about the leaked docs from last year.

[StuBurns]

"From the creators of Oni and the publishers of X-men Destiny comes..."

Fixed for maximum revenue.

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

to lazy to go through the thread, but it looks like it's exclusive.

It says at the bottom of the material "registered trademark of Microsoft Corp."


Apologize if already pointed out.

[Friedreich]

This isn't 4v4 with small to medium maps!?

:O

Dark Souls isn't a loot game. There are no variations in stats and weapons can be found in the same exact spot every single playthrough. It's a dungeon crawler and RPG. When I think of loot games I think more of Torchlight, Borderlands, Diablo.

Dark Souls isn't a loot game, but it is a (mostly) open-world game with fully integrated co-op and competitive multiplayer modes, which is I think part of what Bungie is trying to shoot for with Destiny.

[Moobabe]

Conceptually you might be able to reserve a game and then get whatever platform you want when it comes out. Not sure how retailers handle this kind of thing though. It's been a long time since I've pre-ordered, and I've never done it with a game that might be cross-gen.

You can just put down deposits on X platform. For something like Skylanders and Disney Infinity people could pre-order X, Y, Z character with no knowledge of what they would be; they just play an order on however many characters they wanted.

[Willkiller]

The design on the alien is awesome. Bungie are going to raise the bar again. I can't bloody wait.

Yeah, without knowing anything from a gameplay perspective I'm already excited based on the art.

[GhaleonEB]

I am really glad these guys made it in, they are my favorite out of the concepts we saw.

Yeah, this has been my work desktop since the day it was released. Bungie's art is just absurdly good; coming off Halo 4 it's just striking how great their designs are for Destiny from what we've seen.

[StuBurns]

That's about name dropping Halo.

[shinobi602]

What?

Sounds like an entire planetary system's worth of abandoned human warehouses... bitches?

Doesn't that describe every single video game these days?

[Vire]

Hell fucking yeah. Enemy design looks awesome.

[Eideka]

So this will land exclusively on 360/720 in 2013 then on PS4 in 2014, right ?

[Arnie]

This isn't 4v4 with small to medium maps!? :O

Multiplayer still might well be.

We're in the dark at the moment.

Doesn't that describe every single video game these days?

Halo never had it.

(I'm referring to items obtained within the game world, such as Borderlands, DS, etc)

[Robot Pants]

[Dragonzord]

Is this thing cross console between PC and whatever else?
