Yeah, it's Activisions fault that Bungie agreed to those terms?

Exactly. They agreed to the terms obviously. I suppose they felt they were getting something valuable enough up front to go ahead and make a deal like this.

 

[Obliterator]

I wouldn't worry about amount of content. There are over 1000 people working on this game

Too many cooks

 

[SRTtoZ]

I'm okay with those terms from Activision. You have to secure your investment especially after all the shit that Destiny 1 went through with the story changing last minute, and the delays with the expansions.

 

[Tovarisc]

Activision investment safety?

Never exclude possibility of kompromat.

 

[Kaiken]

Activision investment safety?

Activision surely won out in this deal and the Gamers as usual take the hit.

 

[Koutsoubas]

For the love of God give me a trailer

 

[Smokey_Run]

I think people are forgetting this game was "scheduled" to hit last year. It's not like 2017 was the plan the whole time.

 

[EvB]

Hopefully it's skill based and not "grind for 400 hours for the one shot kill gun and win" based.

.

That's totally how it will be

Some new news from Jason

http://kotaku.com/destiny-2-is-still-coming-this-year-activision-says-1792191111

Shipping another half-assed game confirmed. Please buy the actual game over the course of 2 years after for another $100 bucks. I'll probably wind up with a copy because every human I know will own it, but my hype is zero, along with my faith in Bungie.

Nowadays I dont think this has a meaning -

[psyfi]

Destiny 1 taught me to keep my expectations low, but man, I hope Bungie finds their footing finally.

 

[Bunta]

I really do hate Activision cause this is fucked up.

Bungie shouldn't have agreed to it..

 

[Unrivaled]

cant wait day fucking 1

buying a PS4 pro Limited destiny 2 bundle for this shit

 

[Tecnniqe]

I think people are forgetting this game was "scheduled" to hit last year. It's not like 2017 was the plan the whole time.

Well people will assume "rushed" based on history I guess, but some might see it as "a year extra polish"

 

[Obliterator]

OR not. Assuming because there are a lot of people working on the game = bad shouldn't be assumed

 

[GlamFM]

Always wildly entertaining to see how severely out of touch some of you are when it comes to the business side of things

Did you feel AC Unity was low content?

They found their footing around 2015 but then lost it again in 2016.

 

[Perineum]

Super stoked this is happening. Whenever they confirm a date I basically don't need another game during the first few months after its release.

500+ hours easy on original Destiny.

Beards confirmed too for new character creation. Woot!

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Hope it has cross platform play. 2 friends only play it on PS4 while I'd only do PC

And they managed to put out a giant open world games in a little over a year.

Destiny 2 is 3 years of dev time. 2 years for main team which moved to it just after The Taken King

 

[Midas]

What was that? Three sentences of Destiny? Not more than expected, but he said "this year" like three times.

 

[GlamFM]

Wait what? Where were beards confirmed?

 

[Nirolak]

Nothing useful said about Destiny 2 in the main part of the call outside of confirming a strong post launch support plan.

Q&A soon.

 

[AstroNut325]

OR not. Assuming because there are a lot of people working on the game = bad shouldn't be assumed

Yeah. I never understood that mentality that large teams = bad. Games are major production efforts now.

That's reassuring given Destiny 1 had shit all.

 

[RichiRamjag]

I look forward to buying this in 3 years when the final DLC comes out for like $40.

...Yeah, I'm still a little salty about Destiny 1.

Higher chance that you get nickel and dimed in other ways.

gonna need a source on that last part

 

[Rad-]

Man I hope they nail it this time. Destiny 1 was so meh but I believe Bungie still got it.

 

[Turkoop]

Did you feel AC Unity was low content?

No low content but it was way too much content

Definitely too many pointless missions.

 

[Mass Appeal]

Wait what? Where were beards confirmed?

There was fake leak in reddit and it mentioned more character creation tools which included beards. JASON confirmed it to be fake in the Kotaku article that just came out.

 

[Jblanks]

Looking forward to it, gotta keep my hype in check this time; don't want to make the same mistake twice.

How do you even come to that conclusion? Acti allowed Bungie to delay the game for a whole year so they could add more content. These are just contract negotiations that both sides agreed to.

 

[Tecnniqe]

https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/829810356310638596

Well, I'm not going to praise them for making sure the product is up to standards when being released

Spoiler

Still greedy Activi$ion

 

[Turkoop]

I am not concerned about the lack of content in D2, they have delayed the game by 12 months, I think they're planning a lot of content

Yeah but with your posts that doesn't say anything other than you have no idea what your talking about. There's nothing saying it's going to be rushed.

They found their footing around 2015 but then lost it again in 2016.

They never lost it. Rise of Iron was a fantastic expansion.

 

[Theorry]

Happy about the character stuff reset tho. And that comes from a active Y1 player.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

I'm okay with those terms from Activision. You have to secure your investment especially after all the shit that Destiny 1 went through with the story changing last minute, and the delays with the expansions.

I could have sworn there were rumours about Activision pushing destiny 1 early which did lead to dev problems though. I don't want the same thing again.

 

[Moa]

Did I miss where this was confirmed?

 

[NastyBook]

Please Playstation 4 Pro support and make it 60fps.

Bungie <3

Cod WW
Star Wars
Destiny 2
RdR 2

RIP wallet.

It's a 2017 release. It's mandatory for the game to have PRO support.

 

[FyreWulff]

And even Destiny is on loan.

Yep. At the end of the agreement, Bungie can walk with the Destiny IP, and self publish or go elsewhere.

edit: and the "we get a piece of your assets if you don't deliver" is in pretty much every video game contract. And non-gaming contracts. It's basic collateral.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Hope it has cross platform play. 2 friends only play it on PS4 while I'd only do PC

Doubt it since kb/m vs controller

 

[Gator86]

How do you even come to that conclusion? Acti allowed Bungie to delay the game for a whole year so they could add more content. These are just contract negotiations that both sides agreed to.

Obviously kidding about the confirmed part but why wouldn't this be a red flag? Bungie isn't going to turn over stock or influence if they don't have to. They're sure as fuck pushing the game out to meet whatever deadline they need to for their benefit. The first one proved they won't be punished for pushing out an unfinished game anyway, so there's no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt and just assume everything will work out perfectly.

Even given the extra year, I'm skeptical of how much content the game ships with. I'm not sure if anything besides the extra time that should make someone confident in D2.

 

[Carl]

Destiny is one of my favourite, and my most playedgame ever. I'm in day 1. Will not disappoint, as long as they don't change everything about it.

 

[Theorry]

Did I miss where this was confirmed?

Not really confirmed. But Jason just said it.

 

[Midas]

They just said they're releasing the Destiny sequel this year, in the call, one again. It feels like it's really coming this year. I wonder when Bungie will start to talk about it.
