I thought that's normal for online, because how's it look when you move by using controller pad.

I think Bungie does not understand that part of the reason Halo 1 was so impressive was because only the Xbox had the technical ability to show it off. If it was a multiplatform game that had to release on PS2 and GC as well it would not have been anywhere as impressive.
Making this a current gen console game is just a bad idea all around.

Wish they would have shown more, or any, gameplay... but so far the overall idea sounds pretty cool.
also, this is all I can think about.
lol I really hope they have a reference to this in the game.
so, a clip of butcher talking.... that dont mean shit.

They made money on Halo CE and that had a 0 installed user base on a new console competing with ps2. I think they'll be fine with next gen only especially with micro-transactions.

Another thing, those character models look pretty fucking bad. They look nowhere near as good as their concept art ones.

So am guessing you teleport across the solar system in those warp gates; then randomly encounter some people on the load in.
So the servers will likely be hidden somewhat unless you are in a 'party'.
That should work well with the FPS elements.
There really should be a PC version, it sounds like arrogance to not make one. A sort of 'no we're console developers'; which is silly since their launching over a generational gap.

Be brave.
I'm not saying it in any attempt to discredit them. Just trying to point out that they're definitely holding back in what they could be showing us. The new video is so short and part of it happened a long while ago.

That's what I hope it is, but why the hell would you fly all these people out for an all-day event when its that early, or when you only have 5 seconds of gameplay to show? No one does that. Shit went down behind the scenes, and the fact that a major event is happening 3 days away probably has something to do with it.

Killzone 2 was pretty grey but still...
Bear in mind this was 4 years ago (and doing 32 players online). Why on earth have they decided to go current-gen...

Not sure if you saw this or not: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=513879
There is hope!
This is just not comparable. That Killzone map is a teeny little box for PVP. Destiny is something completely completely different. Killzone is all windowdressing.

I honestly think you'll fly between worlds. Much like the Halo Reach space level. We always assumed that level was in there for test purposes.

It's like we have to go over this every time pre-release footage is shown in these ViDocs: WORK IN PROGRESS. Criticise textures, animations, etc when the damn game ships, lol

Agreed. Sony and MS are both going to promote the hell out of this game unless someone like MS ponies up cash for exclusive content.

Reusing video from previous Vidocs and the reveal itself sounds like they werent quite ready to show what they did.

This, but I guess many of us are finding it a bit hard to believe because it's been in development for a while.
Maybe they were doing the story/engine/prototypes during that time? It's not like a sequel that you can make in 2-3 years...

Incredibly ambitious. I hope they can pull it off.

I don't think gears or battlefield sell more or are nearly as popular.

lol at the comments.
Not like Guild Wars then (aside from literally one mission in the entire game which allowed for two groups).
Seems interesting, though.

Compare the scopes of the two games.
The only reason I can fathom why they are doing current gen is because of the install base. There are still a lot of people with 360's and PS3's, and I'm sure Activision wants to capitalize on the huge market still available. I do think Destiny will have a large presence with next gen consoles upon launch, however.

graphical polish is generally done at the end of the development process.

It was mentioned in a preview that you can fly to other planets. I think those gates are supposed to be the games version fast travel, but there's no information on that one way or another.
Bank on it.
The Activision-Bungie contract mentions major plans for downloadable content. This includes major expansions, smaller-sized DLCs, and allusions to microtransactions.
Also, on Bungie.net Terms of Use, they have a section about Virtual Currency and Virtual Items.

Lol, Adam Sessler said on twitter said the presentation felt like a corporate kickstarter campaign. God damn.
The one bad thing about it i'll say is this: its painful to watch something this ambitious fall into the limitations of what will probably be nearing a previous-gen by the time it comes out
It just fucking sucks to hear them keep on throwing the world AMBITIOUS and HUGE around when they're working on such old hardware.

So uhh, i think that the idea behind the game sounds fun. So far so good to me.
Sony started "it" with Demon Souls and Journey..? What are you talking about?

Well, considering how ambitious this game sounds, the engine alone probably took, and may still be taking, a shit-ton of time to make. I'm not a game developer so I don't know the typical protocol and process for game-making, but I'd imagine making the game's engine and perfecting its "playability" comes way before pretty-ing up the graphics.
Seriously, Bungie stated this was a glimpse into their new IP. They NEVER said it would be in-depth. Have some sense, people.

Does MS still have a year long timed exclusivity on this game or did they change that?

If Destiny I has more then 32 players in any one instance i'll be very, very surprised.

I think the 1 year exlusive was just for next gen versions of the 1st game which obviously have not been shown yet, could be wrong though. I think that's why some people speculated that this event was put right before the ps4 reveal to steal ps4 thunder with some Durango footage shown. Who knows maybe that was the plan but things changed last minute.
I have a feeling not that much ps4 stuff next week will actually be shown also with much of GAF disappointed, still think we won't see as much as people think until E3. Sony and MS just want us to eat up all these rumors and leaks to get the hype out there building up to E3 and it is working.

Reading through this thread reminds me why developers don't like to show early game footage or screenshots. People rip in to it without any context.
The game sounds awesome so far. It's a little underwhelming but only because so much of it had been leaked already. If this comes out this Fall for next gen systems, it will be hard for me to resist picking one up.

It looks janky, but it already is better than the shitfest of halo 4.

They were a first party studio then. They exist to make microsoft a profit and push systems. Their existence didnt depend on its success like the sitation for nearly all independent studios now-a-days.
This is an entirely different situation. The final budget and marketing costs alone will proubably be more than 10 times what they spent on halo.
They have to go where the money is.

So... is this game pretty much... guild wars + resistance 2 mp?
BF3 can't even do more than 24 players, and it's much less ambitious.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a current gen title. The PS4 and next Xbox will probably have an install base around 10 million combined after a year and a game like this probably needs a large install base to thrive. There is supposedly going to be a new game every other year, so the next title will most likely be next gen.

Indeed.
Jeff Gerstmann laid out a scenario where you were playing on your own, or in a small group and came across a situation which required backup. The player could message someone else, and that person could load up a drop-ship with a team of friends and they would be given your co-ordinates.
Imagine the two different emotions between the two groups:
- Those on the ground holding a defensive line
- Those in the drop-ship, en route to save their comrades

It's on both sets of hardware right? Shouldn't be an issue.
