I think he's talking about cross platform character stats. Say, if you play on PC or XBOX have same character and progress the same character, I don't think this is a full-on MMO like that, it's probably just tied to gamertag so it might work with next xbox, it's not really given for everything else, don't think there would be cross console compatibility at least.

I really like the art, which is something Bungie had been lacking up until Halo: Reach.
But here is the thing, almost every MMO has fantastic art, but not all of them are good, so I'll wait.
Also, lol @ people shitting on Halo 4 in this thread.

Yea, but it has that new IP and new experience feel that you get w/ next-gen software. Which makes me excited for it! And yea, this will probably be cross-gen.

Wow! My mind just connected this game and the The Tripods. Anyone remember that?

Well, even CGI trailer will be good enough than some shitty teaser with the game logo ^_^
As for in-game footage, I don't think that Bungie is ready to show it so early to the public, but they can show it to the press behind closed doors.

Having a cross platform MMO would be insanely difficult WRT accounts. Unless they employed a login system over the top, which means playing without your Xbox gamertag.
Those are popular books, of course. The premise is somewhat similar, there are a lot of post-apocalyptic worlds with aliens out there though!

About the VGA's, I thought that Bungie was pretty clear about a 2013 reveal of the game, which if true obviously counts out the VGAs.

I hope it's cross-gen, I'll pick it up on PS4/720 for sure.

Court documents say Destiny 2 will be for the new consoles, not the current one. But of course plans change

Probably not in the typical MMORPG structure. It will be Massively Multiplayer and it will be online, but I highly doubt it will be grinding, have a hotbar in the bottom with skills and so on.
Bungie is not stupid, I expect them to do something different, and they know as well as we know, that the typical MMORPG structure won't work in the context of a FPS.
It's probably multiplayer only.

I really wish this was held back for the next generation, I can't help but feel the current hardware is going to hold it back.

Calling it now there will be some sort of SP mode in this game.
I feel the same way. All that amazing art and you know it will look nothing like that. Should be worked into a launch title for the next-gen machines.

I think some of the stuff there is stating that it will be.
So it'll be interesting to see especially if the "Xbox" version are somehow playable agaisnt each other.

So you didn't read the thread, then?

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Unless Bungie completely re-hired a new texturing and modelling department, I never really put much stock into concept art from their end. They're gonna need to have massively evolved since their last efforts to match Killzone 2/3 and Halo 4.
The enemy tank shot main dude seems like such an obvious fusion of Helghast and Chimera that its fairly ridiculous.

Missed it. My bad.
Well, Bungie has been hiring like a bazillion people a day.

Impressive. So will they allow us to play to create our own character (design face, hair, clothes, bodytype, armor) and then explore?
I wonder if it will feature swords. Looks very gun based. The thing with the aliens invading suggests a PvE adversary. Could that mean that the game is mainly co-op and not faction vs faction like Planetside?

Must I remind you how blatantly Helghast (and prop also Chimera) looks like art from other peoples work?

Yes yes, Jin-Roh, everythings a remix. But when I see the Helghan symbol on the dudes damn shoulder pad, it evokes a lot more of a negative reaction. Also I found the cloaked and hooded Killzone baddies quite original looking, and here they are again across all of the main designs. I'm just not really feeling it.
I thought the documents said the first one will be 360/720, then eventually PS3?

Correct. Destiny #1 will be a time-limited X360 exclusive and after a joint technical feasibility study (ATVI & Bungie) they will decide if they'll develop the PS3 version or not and judging by this info, the study approved the PS3 version.
the document was like this
Destiny 1/ Comet* 1 platforms 360/720/PS3
Destiny 2 onwards platforms 720/PC/PS4
*Comet is the expansion pack coming a year after a Destiny release, beside DLC.
The document said that Bungie must deliver the game in Fall 2013 for 360/720 and a PS3 release until Fall 2014. I'm guessing PS3 release might be day 1 now if it's mentioned in their artwork. Don't think they'd announce the game for PS3 and say it comes out later? anyway even if they pretend it's not on PS3 at first with Bungie hiring for PS3 on their site and this leak it would be obvious anyway. Still there could be a like 6 months time exclusivity, a PS3 release in Fall 2014 would be really pointless and stupid commercially, it's not going to sell much as it is.

Really excited to see gameplay footage.
Game artwork looks great but an mmofps this late for current consoles ?
Hope bungie pull their magic in popularizing this genre on consoles as well.
Hmm.
On one hand, interesting concepts.
On the other hand, taking into account stuff from that leaked Activision/Bungie contract, i'm not so keen on this. Of course that stuff is probably dated so i'll ignore it mostly.
Nice art.
Will wait for proper info before deciding whether i'm truly interested or not.
And regardless, this time i won't be hyped. I'm constantly burning myself by being hyped for future games...

I really can't fathom this launching so late into the console cycle, unless they are developing a next generation version.
