Wishful thinking at its absolute finest. There is zero evidence, only fantasy. Destiny is going to be a lot like Huxley was supposed to be, from the sounds of it. A big hub area with cooperative missions (similar to dungeons in MMOs, this is especially apparent by there being a "Raid" option in the main menu) and arena-based PvP. It sounds like there might be some open-world missions as well, with some kind of dynamic drop-in/out mechanics.Why do I see people mentioning that this game will be similar to Demon's/Dark Souls? What evidence is there to suggest this?
And I thought I was jaded. Game sounds solid on paper. No PC is a complete bummer though.
Not HaloWoW.So Halowow?
Could be cool. Looking forward to more details.
To make a PC port, they would have to build the game to support a wide range of configurations, and also test them. Since Bungie hasn't done that for a long ass time, it's probably pretty difficult to build up the infrastructure. Most likely it'll happen, but be outsourced.The no-PC thing is pretty surprising to me, because given the MMO-like nature of the game, it seems the kind of thing that would be much better-suited to PC than consoles.
I hope it releases this year. According to press the game is far from finished which worry me.if they gonna release it this year it's not gonna be November since that reserved for COD. It's either october or early next year.
It will definitely show up on next-gen consoles.Anyone know if this is next-gen consoles too, or just strictly PS360? If it's PS360, it'd be really disheartening.

I was glad this was more akin to a lobby-based MMO, than a traditional open world space. I hope there's enough content and progression to keep you coming back, since they did mention a "10 year" plan / life.
Well there is gonna be 3 games over that time span, not just 1.I hope there's enough content and progression to keep you coming back, since they did mention a "10 year" plan / life.
4 games, 4 expansion packs.Well there is gonna be 3 games over that time span, not just 1.

Sounds a lot like FFXIII actually, and Cocoon. Pretty awesome.Destructoid said:Some humans survived, however, thanks to the Traveler, a big floating round entity that sacrificed itself and hangs above Earth where it made its last stand.
People came together to rebuild a new city under the Traveler's protection, and soon humans once again ventured back into space to reclaim what was once theirs.
Kind of sounds like a l'cie getting branded and being able to use magic.Destructoid said:Players will take on the role of a Guardian, a special soldier that is able to wield some of the radical powers of the Traveler.
Looks a hell of a lot like FFXIII too. Even has the same kind of damage to the sphere that Cocoon does.
Very good point. Bungie is a massive and experienced studio, and I'm sure they're able to buckle down and finish the game. Personally, is be surprised if it didn't come out this year. They'd miss a huge opportunity in holiday sales and the launch of next gen consoles.The press has also been saying that they barely saw anymore of the game than we did, so I'll take the statements that they'll be surprised if it's released this year with a fat grain of salt.
More if you count when Jason Jones disappeared and went into pre production, imagining all this stuff I assume. I need a Destiny avatar no one has chosen!So wait if this does indeed become a 2014 title, the game would have a 5 year development cycle?
I made a bunch and posted them in this thread. Somewhere around page 35-40. Feel free to take any of those that aren't being used.More if you count when Jason Jones disappeared and went into pre production, imagining all this stuff I assume. I need a Destiny avatar no one has chosen!

Cool, thanks man. Your awesome. To anyone, if I take yours let me knowI made a bunch and posted them in this thread. Somewhere around page 35-40. Feel free to take any of those that aren't being used.

This game is First person view only, right? I wonder if that will become a bit of an annoyance, or even issue for some people, since getting loot for your character is a big part of PvE in MMO's. Maybe there will be some sort of support for 3rd person view like in Skyrim.
Or perhaps they've gone the Borderlands route, and made weapons a huge part of the loot system. (Would that be good enough for the loot aspect of an MMO?)
I really hope they add in a mode which lets player take the role of competing alien types for a persons singleplayer. Something like l4d infected versus.
...this looks really dull, IMO.
My biggest gripe with this reveal was that it was more focused on the social aspects and Bungie as a studio. Its feels like more of sales pitch on what will contribute to Destiny being great (Im convinced it will be great though, Bungie is all kinds of awesome). While all the info coming out is nice, it is usually side information you see at a lot of reveals. We saw little of the actual game and I still dont fully know what it is. Still hyped, but that was not a real reveal.
People are going to be sorely disappointed if they think their spaceship will fly in space ala Eve. It's probably a fast travel and used for space combat ala Halo series. Just hope it isn't like SWTOR which will disappoint everyone and people will just not even play that aspect of the game.
Could be. Still, it felt very un-Bungie like reveal.Could it be possible we'd get more info from say a Gameinformer cover story soon?

I think Sony or MS nixed them showing the next gen footage, and the current gen stuff wasn't impressive enough for the reveal.Possibly Activision are now controlling how much is shown and or discussed in their ViDocs?

Alright. I'm going to say it.
"ViDoc" is the dumbest fake word. It's like a hokey sci-fi term: "Dexter Nanofuchs plugged his zybernerve into the holonet. The usual lasersports and ViDocs were playing." Every time I see this awful word I want to call 911 to report a battery of language. Oh, it's a documentary? On video? Well stick me in a MJOLNIR suit and call me Sally, I couldn't have guessed.
Video Documentary = ViDoc
Audio Song = AudSong
Paint Painting = PaPaint
I was never a huge fan of the Halo universe, the game representation never manifested itself as the high science fiction that they were aiming at.
Having said that, I like what I am seeing with Destiny. It looks properly epic at this stage and their ambition for a 10 year game cycle is impressive. It could prove to be the best thing ever. Then again, it could also be just a cheapo gimmick, sending game messages via smartphones and minimal interaction with other players using non-console means.
History has shown that ambitious, epic science fiction stories have a habit of backfiring horribly. Cases in point: Advent Rising. Too Human.
Still, curious to see more.
