First I'd just like to say as someone who only had very little passing interest in Destiny before launch simply because of the scale, planets and level design I still groaned everytime Sony had Destiny on stage in any of their events. After playing and still playing the trial version I gotta say, the game has completely changed my opinion and actually got me interested in an FPS after a decade or so. Bungie shows why they rock the genre hard while on the other hand Sony has shown time and time again they don't know how to nail down FPS like they have in a few other genres like racing, adventure and platforming. The two FPS from last gen Resistance/Killzone and neither of them actually felt good to play or experience the story. Say what you want about the story of Destiny while playing but the lore of that world is amazing, that's why there are so many complaints about how little there is of it in story missions. There is no FPS pedigree within Sony developers so I don't see why they need to waste money on making more of them. Seriously, just double down on Destiny and do us all a favor.
I am so glad the SSM previous project was cancelled because of their similarities with Destiny, maybe it would have looked slightly better but the type of games SSM are known for, primarily GOW there was no way that game would have played as beautifully and the world as open as Bungie's Destiny. The PS4 has been praised for many things but I think Sony's biggest coup this gen was partnering with Activision/Bungie for Destiny. Maybe a lot of people don't see it yet but this is the FPS of this gen, this is the MP experience that people will be talking about more than any other for better or worse. And I feel that by listening to fan feedback the sequel will be one of the best games of all time.
Yes the game has many flaws but the gunplay is so amazing, you can just feel the decade+ experience of Bungie in every bullet, explosion. I recommend everyone watch Matt Lees 3 part talk on Destiny on youtube, it really highlights why Destiny is a game that you just can't stop playing. Sony now have the FPS they were searching for, its not exclusive but then it shouldn't be because such a game should be experienced by all, unlike Resistance and KZ that really should stop... seriously... STAHP.
And the trial version. Yes play it, it's FREE. And developers should realise demos can change peoples opinion for the better. Please don't stop making demos!
TL;DR: Sony was smart to partner with Bungie for Destiny. It's the best FPS to be associated with PlayStation. Now Sony should stop working on messy tripe like KZ and Resistance and invest that money on better experiences. Though enjoyed by loyalists the KZ and Resistance franchises never became what Sony wanted them to be in terms of mp scene and public perception, better to double down on Destiny.
