[DidntKnowJack]

You guys are crazy. You have the guys who defined the console fps experience and who have made the best MP maps ever make a console FPS pso type of game.

think about that for a min.

If this were 2003, I may have agreed with you.

edit: But then again, I'm probably not the target audience for this stuff anyway.

 

[AlimNassor]

Does Gaf hate all games that are not SP now? I don't get it. Do you people literally not play anything that isn't solely 100% SP? If this is like Planetside or battlefield why are people not hyped?

 

[MooseKing]

Old screen from E3 prior to launch.

Poor Bungie.

 

[Buntabox]

Figured there was either going to be a really big vidoc with gameplay or something very teaser like. Looks like we got the latter.

I suppose they are waiting for E3 to really show more.

you're right, we should reward absolute creative bankruptcy not shun it.

Spoiler

also at this point i'd say infinity ward defined the console shooter experience. in terms of actual units sold and mainstream popularity.

for what it's worth, jeff gerstmann's video on giant bomb makes it sound more interesting than the vidoc did, but not enough for me to be sold on it. he's also adding a healthy dose of skepticism to it.

 

[Victory Red]

Looked awesome to me. Plenty of time to show us more.

 

[Nokagi]

Well it certainly sounds interesting but they didn't really show anything. Hope we actually see some gameplay soon.

Until they show some actual gameplay, all of this means nothing. A shooter is only as good as its gunplay, and they gave us absolutely nothing to go by in that respect.

 

[papercamm]

I think they hyped this reveal too much for just a 4-5 min video with like 20s of gameplay, I'm still looking forward to it though.

I think we as consumers were more guilty of that than anyone else.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Why did they think rolling the game out like this was a good idea? My brother-in-law just texted us, "So... what was the point of that?" He doesn't follow these things closely and even he was bored to tears. It would be like Valve announcing a Half-Life 3 reveal which turned out be a video about their snack bar with voiceovers spouting platitudes.

The game isn't out for quite a long time, and E3 of course will be where it's fully unveiled. This is part one of a very, very, very long marketing cycle.

 

[lockload]

Why the hell should i need to be online for playing single player?

I have reasons for this in the week i dont always have internet access, when i do its not always reliable

[Goodacre0081]

You'd have to be pretty ignorant to think you could play a game online on xbox without gold.

you can play FFXIonline with a sliver/free account.

 

[Fezzan]

Wii U game?

No.

 

[Naked Lunch]

First impression: Looks bad. Or at least not good.
I am a fan of Halo 1-3 tho, so we will see.

 

[Coolwhip]

These textures looks horrible. What a underwhelming reveal.

Halo 4 looks way better, Destiny is not even close. I don't care if ít is a open world game, this is shocking.

I hate replies like these, it's all about the graphics? Go watch Avatar. The scope and ambition for Destiny is something special, who gives a damn about the textures in an early version of the game then? Give me a break.

 

[Mr.Wreckless]

I mean I don't get why you people are saying it's "ugly." Of course it's not going to look like Uncharted 4 if it's a large-scale FPS based on having many people playing at once. Not to mention if it looks like it does in the trailer, it almost certainly will run very smoothly on the Nextbox and PS4. Maybe 60 FPS and some nice bells and whistles.

I'm sure once the 360 and PS3 are gone, Bungie won't be handcuffed to those consoles and the next game will look "good enough." Like I said though I'm really excited with what we got. A more open Borderlands sounds amazing to me.

Stop trying to make sense.

 

[Silly.Mikey]

These textures looks horrible, PS2/Wii level. What a underwhelming reveal.

Halo 4 looks way better, Destiny is not even close. I don't care if ít is a open world game, this is shocking.

I agree. Visuals are very meh

 

[duckroll]

Interesting, I really wouldn't be shocked if there is a PC version, and it's also interesting how they didn't confirm or deny a Wii U version.

Activision Publishing boss Eric Hirshberg added: "Until there are official announcements from the first parties obviously we can't comment on any platforms that might be forthcoming, but what we can say is we are building Destiny to be wherever gamers are." He later insisted Activision's approach is "platform agnostic".

Doesn't this confirm that there won't be a WiiU version?

 

[Loudninja]

I like what I see.

 

[Slayer-33]

These textures looks horrible. What a underwhelming reveal.

They should have kept this shit under wraps imo. Until it was gameplay reveal ready.

 

[Rad-]

I don't think it's even an open world game. Or was it confirmed somewhere?

 

[2San]

I thought there would at least be some offline single-player component though.

That's fair enough.

 

[Jhriad]

good old gaf. why do you guys always expect a first reveal of a game to be a 2 hour gameplay video?

Because it's not worth our time to have them hype us up to just explain basic Sci-Fi shooter/mmo vagueries. "This game has multiple races and factions and you shoot things!" Yeah, no shit. Tell us something we didn't know.

 

[thetrin]

I don't get why anyone would be up in arms with it needing to be online. That's is usually how online shooters work...no?

I'm just disappointed it does not seem to have a true single player.

Yeah, I'm not sure how it's online drm when you have to be online to play with other players.

 

[RdN]

These textures looks horrible, PS2/Wii level. What a underwhelming reveal.

You're really comparing alpha footage from an MMOFPS with an AAA exclusive, 150 million dollar, enclosed spaces only game?

[oneils]

IGN stream the guy said NO to the PC version.

IGN streamer interpreted bungie's comments as a no. But what he said is that bungie was very careful never to mention the pc and to refer to the game as a console shooter. But they never quite confirmed that it is console exclusive.

 

[Ricker]

It will be on the next gen platforms also...

[ibun]

Looks like a "judgement day"-Halo game. hmm again a egoshooter and online only...

 

[RoboPlato]

This really seems like it may have a current gen version dumped out just to get the user base. Next gen will be where the real version of the game will be. I exepect Watch_Dogs and the next Assassin's Creed to be the same.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Bungie strategically did this to deflate the hype for the PS4.

if they did...it backfired

 

[shinobi602]

Imagine if the Playstation Meeting is like this..............

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Preorder now on Amazon.

Xbox 360 Amazon link

PS3 Amazon Link

lolwut

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Gaf meltdown over nothing, could have called it.

Looks solid to me so far. Can't wait to see fu gameplay and what the next gen versions look like.

 

[Sai-kun]

We're bored doing Halo for ten years. Let's do a scifi shooter for ten years instead.

Halo -> Orb
Masterchief -> Your Soldier/Hunter character
Covenant -> Unknown Species

But whatever, gotta stick to your strengths.

So do the games you play generally not feature a main character at all? What a fucking dumb thing to comment on.

 

[The Lamonster]

Are there factions in this game?

 

[Karl2177]

That was pretty underwhelming.

So here we have what appears to be some kind of main menu. We have some numbers by the gamertags. Ranks or some kind of leveling system, maybe? Strike-competitive multiplayer, maybe? Looks like the return of clans too.

VEX and MAR?

 

[Dabanton]

Imagine if the Playstation Meeting is like this..............

Well Sony would be idiotic to show everything off next week.

I'm expecting maybe a new trailer for a future game and maybe some features talk and an example of cloud gaming.

 

[Darkkn]

Yeah, developers circle-jerking for 6 minutes on camera is not the most effective way to convince me that your game is awesome.

Why are they releasing a game for the next 10 years on current-gen consoles?

 

[mephixto]

Bungie strategically did this to deflate the hype for the PS4.

Well it backfired then cause this Destiny reveal was underwhelming

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I thought there would at least be some offline single-player component though.

You can play it by yourself, but it also has MMO elements. There's no offline though, it requires online at all times.

 

[walking fiend]

If they cover every platform around, you wonder why Nintendo didn't put in effort to get it on their platform too. Oh well.

It was a pun to graphics.

These textures looks horrible, PS2/Wii level. What a underwhelming reveal.

Halo 4 looks way better, Destiny is not even close. I don't care if ít is a open world game, this is shocking.

Maybe that's why they didn't show much footage; these are all stuff that can later be added in. Of course the final game will not look this.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

lol...Jeff puttin in that extra (Sunday morning) work

 

[Elginer]

The best thing about that was the abscence of the Xbox 360 indent at the end.

Get that fanboy crap out outta here.

 

[Mik_Pad]

I think we as consumers were more guilty of that than anyone else.

Also true.

 

[LTWheels]
