Apparently, the PC will not get the first game in 2013 (when it hits on 720), or 2014 (when it hits on the PS3), but it will get the SECOND game in 2015.

Yeah, but that leaked schedule is years old now. So, who knows. I hope it gets a PC release day 1.

Well, the next three are at least.

It's not entirely impossible this one is coming as well given leaving a PC logo off a trailer isn't nonstandard practice since there's no vendor requiring you to have it.

That said the original contract implied it wasn't.



Well that screen at the top has a PlayStation 3 logo on it, so I'd say yes.

Yeah, Activision normally does a satisfactory job with getting their biggest games on PC. I'm not worried about that.

Based on the leaked info image/blog from that old thread http://www.abload.de/img/originalejud8.png this sounds like a pseudo-MMO. It says there's no dedicated servers so I'm wondering how this all comes together... how the connections work when encountering a group of other players. He says "we did enter a zone where other players were taking on bad guys"... who becomes the host there? Interesting concept.

Wasn't Test Drive Unlimited based on a similar concept where you drove somewhere on the island and a random player just drove by you? There was also a counter of how many players were in your proximity.

If those prior leaks were true, I wonder if their strict schedule with Activision is going to give them any time to even branch out. I honestly worry about the quality of the games after the first releases since they'll be having to release a mainline title every 2 years, with expansions in between. Bungie has always been on a 3 year development cycle, and in the past they've struggled with over ambition (Halo 2), so it'll be interesting to see how they handle it.

Not sure how I feel about paying for a product on top of it being heavily microtransactioned, but we'll see.

The art looks pretty nice, at least. I feel like we're being set up for a next generation shooter with next generation profit drivers.

it would seriously be insane to me if any Bungie game came out on the PC ever again let alone on day 1, but that's just the lingering taste in my mouth of the horrific CE and Halo 2 ports and the fact that no other Halo games ever had even the slightest chance of getting a port

It's "Rendezvous With Rama". Interesting.

Oh man, it's been too long since I've read it, now I'll have to go dig up some boxes to find my old copy again. TYVM... Too bad that Fincher movie never came to be =/

What were we talking about again? Oh yes, the art looks super interesting. Very ambitious in terms of scale for sure. I love me some Sci-Fi.

holy shit,looks ambitious. how is this an mmo and its not on PC?
Click to expand...

Yes, this makes me extremely worried. Being wholly limited by consoles guarantees it will be no where near the scale of something like Planetside 2, or larger, which is what I was hoping for and what the art is begging for :(

Every year I say to myself, "I'm not going to watch the VGAs because it's gonna be a sack of crap like it always is." Then every year(well, not last year), there is one trailer that is awesome and this year I have a feeling it will be Destiny.
Click to expand...

What? Last year's VGAs were better than this year's E3.

But I also hope we will see Destiny

The guy said "they" found a "group" of players, so we're talking about a solid amount of people. Both examples you guys mention sound like they're on a much smaller scale. Bring on the VGAs!!!111

Kinda disappointed that the VGA surprise has been (likely) ruined, but I'm also excited.
That concept art looks brilliant, I can't wait to see what Bungie are doing now.

It's planned as a franchise. The first game could me more of a proof of concept entry while the others get bigger and bigger in scale once next gen hits.

I don't know if this game will end up being any good.
I don't know of it will sell.

But I do know it will have a kickass reveal trailer.

I think some people think of MMO in the wrong way, it was not stated in which way it works, it could still be kind of a bigger Borderlands style, and that would be awesome.

This first entry is for the 360/PS3, by all accounts, no one is referring to it as releasing on the next gen of consoles.

Doesn't really change the huge loss in potential for this game :(

Hope Bungie can deliver this one. I've always loved their games especially the Halo series and the art from Destiny looks spectacular. Also for anyone who's ever used a gateway in the naughts, I can't help but see the old gateway power button in the one picture.

same way Halo was an fps and wasn't on pc
Click to expand...

Eh that's a bit of a stretch. The main thing about FPS was the control scheme. The MMO on consoles problem is about underlying systems that don't lend themselves very well to consoles. Plus the genre has been going slightly downhill rather than the opposite in the last couple of years.

Fuck that art's amazing. This is going to be multiplatform, right?

EDIT: Just saw the contract info above. PS3 version only if it can be on par with the 360? Am I reading that right?
Click to expand...

I wouldn't take the contract as cast iron given how long ago it was, but yes, they were only going to make a PS3 version if they found it technologically feasible at the quality level they wanted, since MMOs are memory heavy and the PS3 has latency there.
