From eurogamer article.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-17-destiny-requires-an-internet-connection-to-work

At the game's reveal in Bungie's Bellevue, Washington office this week, attended by Eurogamer, Bungie COO Pete Parsons said: "It's a persistent, shared and connected world, so you will need to be connected [to the internet] to play Destiny."

On the possibility of a PC version, Parsons said: "We would absolutely love to be on the PC. If you talk to the people upstairs, we play it on all platforms. So, stay tuned." No mention was made of a Wii U version.

Split bump.

Durante · Feb 17, 2013

It would be somewhat strange for a game of this type not to be on PC.

Dave Meltzer · Feb 17, 2013

Definitive version.

vidcons · Feb 17, 2013

No PC? What a joke.

Wind's Howling · Feb 17, 2013

Meh..

For something that is AT LEAST a year away according to Destructoid I am definitely not seeing stuff what should keep me excited. It's Halo.. in a sort of MMOFPS jacket. Definitely not my style.

And IF this game is for next year and for the current gen consoles, they should definitely just put it on hold and release it for the next-gen consoles. I am not going to shell any more money next year on games when we are all getting excited by commercials here and there about next gen.

Pooya · Feb 17, 2013

so there is no single player then?

Draft · Feb 17, 2013

IGN says Bungie was clear about being a console exclusive developer.

Bungie sucks.

Basically. I'm surprised that it's not been announced from the get go. Only thing I can think of is that they don't want to be associated with F2P.

Dabanton · Feb 17, 2013

Yeah sounds like their covering their ass.

def sim · Feb 17, 2013

If not PC, PS4/Durango should work well enough. I don't want to settle though.

legacyzero · Feb 17, 2013

I dont understand why they wouldn't.

dmr87 · Feb 17, 2013

Really hope it comes to PC, otherwise I'll go with PS4.

RoKKeR · Feb 17, 2013

There's still hope. I think we need to get the next gen implications out of the way. I wouldn't be surprised if all later Destiny games are on PC.

Which is easy to do as the game screams F2P concepts and mechanics.

alexrubens · Feb 17, 2013

We were told to be very explicit in saying that it was console only, and current-gen at that.

FuKuy · Feb 17, 2013

It would be a very BAD decision to not release this game on PC.

Brinbe · Feb 17, 2013

Welp... =(

Sponge · Feb 17, 2013

No mention was made of a Wii U version.

It's never gonna end, is it?

I H8 Memes · Feb 17, 2013

They also told the IGN reporter that it absolutely will not be on PC and that the game is "a console shooter".

Lets face the facts. Bungie was never even able to produce the best graphics on xbox and they were a first party company. Going multi-platform is probably a huge stretch for them, and being able to take on the challenging programming environment of PC gaming is well outside of their capabilities. Buy Bungie games for gameplay and story, not for their technical prowess.

It's not even that. I have a PC capable of running this thing well and I will not being buying another console.

Pretty dumb to keep an MMO console exclusive.

Deleted member 22576 · Feb 17, 2013

Sounds good, Bungle.

Hoo-doo · Feb 17, 2013

IGN stream said the complete opposite. That Bungie describes the game specifically as a console FPS.

Dave Meltzer · Feb 17, 2013

Did anyone seriously expect this game on Wii U anyway?

Is this a recent statement or is it the Halo 1 era "Laters!" they gave to PC gamers

I didn't expect a Wii U version anyway.

MRORANGE · Feb 17, 2013

Translation:

PC port : 6 months later

ASTROID2 · Feb 17, 2013

Would like it to be on Wii U.

Pooya · Feb 17, 2013

Bungie said:
Having built Destiny we think it's really clear that this is the next step, and in the future all games will be social in this way

next gen always online stuff is making more sense I guess :S

rip in pieces SP.

Saty · Feb 17, 2013

Sounds like a staggered release for me.

dwu8991 · Feb 17, 2013

There was a "My body is ready" on the iphone !!!

Nuts - goona be on the Wii U for sure

From the dev video reminds me of the Japenese game Neon Genesis Evangelion in terms of story, future design

Jibbajabbawockky · Feb 17, 2013

Durante said:

Yeah. Seems like it would make the most sense to be on PC. They wouldn't really have the standard "Grrr.. PC piracy!" argument if its an online game.

I haven't been following this too much, but is the current thinking that its coming out on current gen consoles with Durango getting the nextgen exclusive for the first game?

Gbraga · Feb 17, 2013

I really hope so, loved the video and the concept, and I think it would be very successful on PC.

Not gonna buy a next gen system for that though, so it's either PC or no buy for me.

They just said it in their live stream of Destiny. So there is definitely some conflicting information going on here.

kpjolee · Feb 17, 2013

"We would absolutely love to be on the PC. If you talk to the people upstairs, we play it on all platforms. So, stay tuned." No mention was made of a Wii U version.

Hmm, I will take it as no to the PC version, oh well.

Conflicting news sources!

Dreams-Visions · Feb 17, 2013

put up or shut up. I don't need teases.

darkside31337 · Feb 17, 2013

That Wii U bit at the end is ice cold. Thought it was a given this game wouldn't be on the Wii U to begin with.

2San · Feb 17, 2013

With always online a PC release becomes more likely since there's no piracy angle.

You'll have a few years to play Destiny before Titan ever arrives.

Or, it'll be a year late, weighed down with DRM, given less support and be based on the current-gen versions for no reason. But I'm willing to be surprised!

Uh, Halo 2?

The PC space is where stuff like this thrive. It'd be really weird if it didn't show up there.

I'd really like to know the reason why a PC version is even in question. If it's a man power issue, I'd be surprised.

Everdred · Feb 17, 2013

I don't know why but I expected it to be a little different from Halo but it's exactly Halo with a new style of community. I'm not mad, I just love Bungie's gameplay and that's what matters most.

Well, if it's an MMO, it'd be no more or less "DRM'd" than any other.

Why not? It would be PERFECT for the GamePad!

Well...It's not like they denied it, and the video did have "My body is ready"

I won't hype for a Wii U version but I will be happy if it does happen.
