I don't understand. Why would they take reservations in February for a game that won't release the same year? That's ridiculous.
I mean the Best Buy preorder card says it expires on 12/31/2013.
Corporate kickstarter.....

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.
Lol
If this is true, Bungie should have stayed dark a little longer, at least until they could give a release date.
Very few game announcements carry a release date with them.
I think Bungie just tried to do too much with this announcement and in the end didn't provide enough. If it was an announcement, then it should have been a trailer (which seemed to have been cut into the vidoc). It was one part trailer, one part behind the scenes, and one part project overview/description.
I think they would have done better to have put together a solid trailer announcing the game and setting up the fiction. Then a vidoc talking about the studio and the ambition/scope behind the game. As is, it was neither a satisfying announcement or a vidoc that offered much insight.
On the other hand, they can openly hire and recruit for it now without having to protect it from someone looking for a scoop.
IGN just confirmed Destiny will not be coming out this year on any consoles.

(Sorry if old)
well I hope the game eventually comes to WiiU, seems like a good fit for the gamepad, being an MMO of sorts. Maybe even some IR pointer controls. And Activision does like their games on all platforms, so here is hoping.
I honestly hope not. If Destiny goes to Nintendo, they'll probably say that the Traveler is a giant Yoshi Egg.
The hell?I honestly hope not. If Destiny goes to Nintendo, they'll probably say that the Traveler is a giant Yoshi Egg.
wat? what does this even mean?
do they fire bullet bills in COD on nintendo platforms?
I'm just being cheeky. I'd welcome Destiny to the Nintendo community, but I don't see it working well for 3 reasons:
-Nintendo's controllers aren't exactly the best for FPS gaming (motion control non-withstanding)
-Nintendo's online support hasn't been the greatest (e.g. friend codes)
-The graphics would feel outdated
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I know very little about the WiiU.

Ok, fair enough
I would say most those things are incorrect now though...
-Gamepad has everything the traditional controller has, +optional touchscreen and motion controls. ( I think the toucshscreen would be great for an MMO type game and also some dual screen local coop play, if it exists)
If you dont like that there is also the classic controller pro, which is essentially a 360 gamepad, and then there is also the wiiremote+nunchuck combo.
-Friends codes dont exist any longer with wiiu, its a much better online system. The only thing really lacking is a cross game chat, or an OS level friend invite system.
-Well if the game is coming to 360/ps3 then not sure how the graphics will feel outdated, it would probabaly land somewhere in between the next gen systems and current gen, closer to the latter though.
Also some even prefer wiiu for the fps multiplatform experiences.
From all the hype I expected to see way more of the game
So its a mmofps with some nice concept art?
Watching the GB video and nothing seems all that exciting
Why is the Traveler floating so high above Earth in some of these promotional images?
That's actually fairly interesting. I'm glad they've done away with FC's - those were a nightmare. I guess I don't have much to worry about then!
I hope to see more from the WiiU this E3. Wasn't impressed by it last year but reading those at least has me somewhat optimistic. I still think it's a bit odd that they essentially smashed the DS and Wii together though, but that could make some games more interesting (Smash Bros)
Looks like it's leaving since there's a crater below it.Maybe it is leaving...or coming down!
Wonder if Bungie will somehow manage to fit Forge into the universe
Totally agree. I love the "dying earth" sub genre of SF and it looks like Bungie has taken inspiration from those types of stories.Looked pretty interesting as a game, but I *loved* what I saw of the setting and back story. Something about the "Traveler" hovering over the planet and the story about how it saved the last of humanity at the cost of its (their?) own live really appealed to me.
And whether it's scifi or fantasy there's nothing I like more than post-post-apocalyptic stories, about reconstruction and hopefully eventual reclamation of lost technology/social advancement.
Random question: Are you the same ''A 3 legged Goat'' from Bnet? Used to love your post back before Reach released.
P.S. Anyone where I can get some awesome wallpaper for this?

As much as I love Forge, I doubt they'll be able to do that judging from the scale of combat the game seems to be leaning towards. Theater is more likely to return I'd say...
There was only one goat...

Hahaha, awesome! Hope I'll see you sticking around for Destiny's release.
Would be nice to have a Forge version for whatever they plan to do with PvP Arena type stuff. Its Bungie, so its bound to have TDM and CTF etc.
Well that depends. Are they learning towards the Arena style of competitive gameplay, or are they doing a hybrid of the dungeon/raid system where larger teams are involved? If so, I don't really anticipate anything the size of Midship or Warlock from Halo.
All of the above. There are competitive options as well as cooperative. Really, think about it like an MMO. PvE or PvP? Then throw some story in the middle. Take your pick.Well that depends.

it depends on how that pvp is structured. Jason Jones hates the slayer gametype, so i could see most of the PVP being worldbased and objective based.
Anyone ever wondered if that massive traveller sphere would have considerable tidal pull on the city below it?
I don't think it's a coincidence that it looks like the sphere might be largely/mostly hollow.Anyone ever wondered if that massive traveller sphere would have considerable tidal pull on the city below it?
I kinda do too to be honest. When the map is designed good, your team works together to hold choke points and advantages positions (not camp).
When it's bad, people just chase kills around for 12 odd minutes or grope a corner like spiders and sit there all game. Not exactly what I call "fun gameplay"
But every game involving defeating your enemies inevitably has a slayer/deathmatch/generic battle mode of some sorts. I just hope they make it more interesting than "Chase Kills to win!"
Would be cool to have some objective based gameplay that is just not "Blow this up" or "Defend this for X minutes." Maybe some way the objectives flow and evolve as players progress etc.

Essentially what Halo's Invasion/Dominion gametypes were, except something that is neither unnecessarily complex or dull.
Would be nice to have some dogfight gametypes with vehicles/spacecraft too. Mix things up a little...
Star Wars Battlefront style? Take off from the ground fight, fly into space and join the dogfight.Essentially what Halo's Invasion/Dominion gametypes were, except something that is neither unnecessarily complex or dull.
