there's no exclusive content with AC Unity, meanwhile Far Cry 4 gets that exclusive co-op -even if friend doesn't have the game- mode on PS4.

I think Bungie have said they have the backend that's technically capable of this.. but I seriously doubt the console companies would allow something like that.
Remember when we first got Netflix on ps3 we had to place a disc in lol
I had to play skyrim on my 360
Fall Out DLC did not come to ps3 until like a year later
You guys on Xbox may not be getting the PlayStation dlc, but not like you're not getting any other dlc that comes with it. The worst you have to wait 30 days no different from what Microsoft does with Call of Duty
Its the next evolution of Halo in a nutshell. It's worth it no matter how long the wait

I assume it was either a map that was rejected or a DLC map that was ready before the launch.
Sony partnership. that's like Activision making a deal with Sony to run CoD ads side by side with Xbox ones.

1 year is pretty damn long.
Yeah. I dont think its a huge deal unless it was massive amounts of content. Its rare that timed dlc is even worth playing. Idk. Seems negligible to me unless its multiple maps and strikes missig.
Yeah but that's a technology thing I'm sure Microsoft could do too if they wanted too.
It's even lame for us PS4 owners. This is money Sony could have put towards something else's development--anything else's development: indie games, funding another mid-tier game etc.
Money exchanges to prevent people playing on a platform from having content are fucking stupid.

well, that and terrible HW sales. Let's not pretend if xbone was selling better Activision wouldn't have found a way to get around such trivialities as a contract...

Sony allows it. Not Microsoft though with their anti-cross platform policies.

my post was in response to someone saying the Ubi-Sony partnership had ended and swapped to MS. Its not the case.
I doubt that Mars is that early. Earth is 1 to 6 on Old Russia > I haven't seen 6~10 (the moon or Old Chicago?) > Venus on the map starts at lv10 (I guess ends at 15 or so) > Mercury, Mars and Jupitor's moons
I'm completely speculating beyond Venus's lv10 and source for this level is the Escapist's interview from earlier in the thread.

The game is pretty legit with friends. I'll enjoy the game alongside over half of the 140~ friends who were playing it on my friends list last week.
Ah my bad man. Never know!
But the other person kind of ran with it and still tried to make out like Sony was doing something better than Microsoft in this regard.
I'm the one that's 'completely speculating'? lol

If MS fanboys feel this way they need to get over it and get some perspective.
You forgot to tell the part where MS wanted Bungie to continue churning out HALO games, again, and again, and again...
How cool is it to force people, who are creative people, to keep churning out the same content? A game that they obviously did not want to keep making that same game over and over.
That's not cool.
Good for Bungie, good for PS4 on the exclusive content. Bungie even helped develop/input on the DS4.
I'm glad for it! I love the timed exclusive content. Competition like this eventually gets us all the better product in the end.
Most players don't whine about insomniac.
But you see many X1 fanboys whine about Bungie. Get over it. The better version of Destiny is ratcheting up to be on PS4.
Don't like the situation then buy both consoles and get the best version of the game(s) on each console.
Otherwise it reminds me of my two year old daughter having a tantrum. Yell and complain all you want, but MS fanboys are the ones looking bad not Bungie.
Any self proclaimed MS fanboys in here? If so I don't know why your allegiance is to MS, and not to Bungie? As Bungie is the leader in this space, the heart and soul.

How does competition for timed exclusives get anybody a better product?

Well one company spent $400 million on a NFL deal and another spent an undisclosed amount on a co-marketing deal for one of the biggest new franchises. I am no marketing genius but I am pretty sure one of those is far more successful in getting people to buy their console.
The long term benefit of this deal is that more people buy PS4's than they may have otherwise, and in turn that leads to more games being developed on the PS4. Gotta spend money to make money.
If you say something as fact when you have no idea, yeah.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
The entire game is a dick move.
Always-on DRM for campaign is some bullshit. They're just being consistent.
Would buy for my PS4 if not for their anti-consumer fuckery, though.

If it's just content like cosmetics or stuff then I'm sure it won't impact the core experience. I would rather see that than outright exclusive deals like the GTA4 episodes. This seems to be much more of an issue when we are seeing less exclusives now and just content with timed clauses.

Indeed. People seem to forget what started this ball rolling. The amount of money MS sunk into getting titles and content for the 360 (on top of being out a year earlier) was pretty crazy. When Sony started playing the same game last generation it was funny how I didn't see as many complaints as I see now.
There was more than one ship in the alpha. You started out with one but had the ability to purchase up to 6 more. Something about the descriptions give the impressions that the higher end ships allow you to warp farther away from the earth and give you access to more missions. Just speculating on that part though.
I don't think its that. They can have simultaneous partnerships with competing platforms. Examples are Activison with Cod (Xb1) and Destiny(Ps4), Capcom DR3(xb1) and Deep Down(Ps4), Platinum SoulBound (xb1) and Bayoneta 2 (WiiU), EA Battlefield Hardline (ps4) and FiFa Kontent (Xbo1) and then Ubisoft Watch Dogs and Farcry 4 (ps4) and The Division (Xb1)
I swear if Activision fuck up the releases and drench the market I'll... I'll... haven't worked it out yet but I will be mad.

I think we all hate it. those funds should be appropriated elsewhere for things such as first party game development, platform software development and network infrastructure.
yup, MS takes the cakes when discussing wasted funds that should be spent on first party. I'll give them that.

Technically you had the option of choosing a ps4 over an xbox one. Also didn't they reveal before the two consoles even came out that Destiny would have exclusive content?
bigboss370

they can't really "fuck up" the releases with this one, people will constantly be hungry for new content. Bungie has already claimed that every day there will be something new in the game.

MS did this whole last gen and now it's Sony turn ,you know the saying what goes around comes around .
Either way this stuff never bother me really .

Because many times the platform holder will pay for the development of the extra content.
Content that might otherwise not be developed due to the extra expense.
Sure it's timed, but eventually even X1 owners will enjoy the content. So that's how.
Regulardless, as I said x1 fanboys (and Sony fanboys any fanboy) should stop whining, just play the game.

Well...at least it's not GTAIV dlc. THAT was an unbearable wait. The cruicible map will likely be anything between shit and meh, the armor will be cosmetically weak and statistically useless, and the strike...well the strike will be fun but who gives a shit, it's one strike.
This could be worse.

Both did it last gen and both are doing it now.

I don't think they actually mean they will add something new every day.. but that they've layered the content in such a manner that it's likely that everyday the player will experience something new.
I mean.. actual new content every single day would be an insane content turnaround.
I'll say again: There's no reason to whitewash and create a false equivalency here.
Knowing the history matters. Saying "both did, it's all the same" is a simplification that doesn't do us any good.
The fact of the matter is that, to stay competitive in a market where your competitor is buying exclusive time for the biggest franchises in the industry (Elder Scrolls, Fallout, GTA, Call of Duty) they absolutely HAD to do the same. There is no way around it.
It's bullshit, it's a bad practice, and it likely doesn't benefit anyone in the long run. But I'm not about to pretend that everything is equal.

I'm down with this movement. Almost as bad as buying already funded third party exclusives, in my book.
Getting the exclusive marketing deal for Destiny was one of the smartest moves Sony made for their platform. Destiny is going to be massive and it will help push hardware for Sony. Greater adoption means better support for the PS4 which benefits not only Sony but PS4 owners as well.
Im pretty sure Sony and Assasins Creed happened before those but maybe im wrong
Why? Most of us die-hard Bungie fans are also Halo fans as well and have to take it into account. All I really play these days is the odd multiplatform, blockbuster or Halo. I was worried about Halo for a bit, but no way in hell am I missing out on the MCC.
Now of course the best version of Destiny is one PS4, but if I can't support both consoles and I'm also a Halo fan, the logical step would be Xbox One. How can any Bungie or Halo fan also not be excited to play Halo CE/2/3 in 1080p/60FPS on dedicated servers. I can't wait to see what Halo 3 looks like with the res boost, and how dedicated servers and 60 fps affect the netcode and movement.
This year will be interesting, will really tell if most of us are Bungie fans, Halo fans, or both.

The alpha had like 3-4 buy-able vehicles from the ships/sparrows' NPC. We couldn't control them, but they are what took you between planets and what showed up to others in Orbit if you're in a fire team and/or heading off to MP. A show off piece (aside from the written lore on them) as far as I can tell right now.
I think it is at least 1 strike per area. Old Russia had one in the alpha and the Venus map shows two.
I don't know about how many MP maps there are though.
long ass time. the shit Activision pulls with CoD DLC for a month, strangely enough, I'm OK with that >_> I mean, it's a month. S'all good. A year is 12 months, jesus that's a seriously long ass time.
should be enough time for the game to hit $20 through sales. I'll probably pick it up then.
