So, our game is called Destiny.

In a matter of days, we're going to give you your first glimpse into the vision and ambition that's driving the creation of our brave new world.  To make room for the resulting chatter, we've launched some official social media channels.  There’s a new Destiny page to like on Facebook, a new Destiny feed to follow on Twitter, and a new Destiny page on Google+.  And, of course, we've opened a new Destiny forum here on Bungie.net where you can discuss upcoming news.
Bungie.net and our existing Bungie social channels will remain official sources for news about Destiny, Bungie, and anything else that might tickle our fancy. If you've already registered on our forums, liked our Facebook page, and been treating yourself to our sweet Tweets, you’re ready for anything.

If our brand of Bungie humor isn't your thing, and all you want is a steady stream of Destiny information, you should sign up for the new channels.

going with "from the creators of halo" is amazing

the concept sounds cool enough but I wouldn't be as excited if it weren't bungie.  halo 2 and 3 multiplayer were pretty ambitious for the time and they managed to handle those well.

Is this still rumored to be a xbox exclusive? Or have they revised that since those documents surfaced?
We have no idea. Even those documents were old by the time they surfaced during the court room proceedings.

yeah, curious if the plan is the same.  roughly along the lines of 360 and durango this year, then it goes multiplatform in the following year?  it's activision so I'm assuming all consoles and pc are considered.  and if the next gen/pc versions are the 'true' versions.

Seeing as how the enemy gallery is what made Halo so damned good in the first place, unless they basically just toss those enemies in new shells the game will blow.

Yeah, I don't understand how it could be mmo style if that is the case unless they are just talking about persistence in the form of leveling ala cod. Also that would put a pretty severe cap on player count within a specific game.

People are unimpressed because they don't have the full information. That is because the next gen systems aren't official yet. Yes, that is bungie's fault for not waiting but it's not the same as what you said.

They might show something at the ps4 unveil since the timing for this is so weird.

GiantBomb guy says next-gen version will have more player counts and not be compatible with PS360 ones (no cross gen play).

That is probably all true but I think Jeff was basing that more on common sense than based on anything bungie said.

Given what Jeff was saying it sounds like they had something but it got cut?

Even the part where he mentions talking to former employees and them expressing a kinda surprising look since he didn't see shit from the game.

Look at the GAF thread, Stoney, the backlash is almost universal. They should not waste a minute showcasing this on current gen consoles. People are mostly unimpressed.

even the coding says "psvista."  :lol 

no way are they coming out with a vita version and they'd have a big hurdle to overcome to get me to pay money for that.  and if it were F2P, i'd probably never get around to trying it, like I'm currently doing with almost any semi-interesting looking MMO that has gone or was made to be F2P.    Only PSO2 gets that pass before I even see it.

Quote
Bungie's upcoming sci-fi shooter MMO Destiny will not be coming in 2013, according to a press release that publisher Activision sent out this morning. The release explains that Destiny is not included in Activision's 2013 outlook and "there should be no speculation or expectation of a different result".

The release also reiterated that Destiny is confirmed for "the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, as well as other future console platforms", which presumably means the next Xbox and PlayStation consoles.

With the PlayStation 4 announcement presumably happening this Wednesday, and early speculation pointing to a Holiday 2013 launch frame for both the new Xbox and PlayStation 4, that means Destiny will not be a next-gen launch title.

For reference, Activision's fiscal year ends December 31, 2013, so this doesn't look like financial double speak either. If this release is read as final and binding, we won't see Destiny in 2013.

You mean selling a couple of hundred thousand on expensive next gen consoles that only the hardcore will immediately pick up anyway no matter what software and not serving the millions and millions of the 360's and PS3's out there? I disagree.

I saw the trailer for it; against my better judgment, I'm actually excited for this. Bungie's Marathon series had fantastic atmosphere for its time, and the storytelling was also ahead of its time. Halo 1 was good, I think they kind of lost the plot during 3, for sure. Here's hoping there's more core focus on Destiny.

Even so, I'm not looking forward to all the next-gen console games which also want to have an App on my phone to tell me when there's a double-XP session happening tonight, or pinging in the middle of a meeting to let me know some random XBLA friend just surpassed my KDR. This constant-connectedness; I want to opt out.

It looks very pretty. I don't think that was the most exciting portion to demo though especially compared to some of the other shooters today. I'm sure it will at least be a good game though based on their pedigree. But the video doesn't get me overly excited just yet.

I really do think they didn't pick great parts to demo. The other problem I guess would be that this whole idea sounded really fresh and original a few years ago but somewhat less so now. Also I'm not really a fan of bungie's storytelling.

But I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt until they show more.

This is sounding awesome the more I read into it.  Reducing it down it's like Halo + Borderlands + Guild Wars 2 (- stuff I don't like about Halo and Borderlands).  I wasn't getting the demo at Sony's conference, and it doesn't sound like the type of game to demo well.   And Peter Dinklage is voicing the not-cortana orb thing!

I haven't read if it has competitive multiplayer or if it's coming to PC.

The apps are probably meant to help suck people into continuing to play and have them spending money, downloading DLC etc. Kind of like Candy Crush notifications on Facebook or games that bombard you with notifications when something new is out. I'm fine with that, but I'll be largely ignoring it... when more games are doing this kind of stuff, it'll all just be noise and wasted time.

I love the way that gameplay video starts with someone strolling at walking pace, looking up at all the majestically designed ruins... classic. In practice, people will just be running and gunning everywhere and hopping around like distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.

I do think this looks good though. I'm getting bored of the cinematic scriptedness of BF and COD, and multiplayer with and without similar gimmicks. I think the likes of Titanfall and Destiny might be coming out at a good time..

Peter Dinklage  :hyper

They haven't really fully explained everything yet. We know there will be towns where you can meet up with other players, it's controlled in 3rd person in these areas so you can see your gear. You pick up missions that take you to specific locations and do what are essentially dungeons. I believe it's been said these are repeatable.

They've said you can "meet up" with other 4 man squads during these dungeons. In practice it looks like some of these dungeons can spawn into bigger events and these are where you can meet with other players. They haven't said if these are random or what.

I got the opposite impression. MMOFPS is a really interesting genre and we've finally reached the point where it's possible to make large-scale environments and fill them with capable and diverse enemies. In most traditional MMOs you are just waiting for hotbars to fill up, but now you have good alternatives with real-time combat in games like PlanetSide 2, Borderlands 2, Destiny, Warframe, and War Thunder. What I didn't like with this trailer was that it still looks like a simple MMO. I understand that it's probably prohibitively expensive to make the world even more detailed, but that doesn't stop me from wanting it.

It looks fine to me. And Bungie normally delivers solid gameplay. The trailers look like what I expect.


That being said I think that's the problem. It looks exactly like I expect. It looks like Borderlands. And while I'm fine with more Borderlands, for all the hype and length of time, I thought it would bring more to the table on the innovation side when it comes to genre mixing. Maybe it does and they just haven't showed it off very well.

But otherwise it looks like a serious borderlands in space. How appealing that concept is to you probably is related to how much you like Bungie or how much you liked Borderlands.

Looks boring for now.

Those story bits are the best.

Story is my least favorite part of bungie games.

Looks like Mass Effect 3's multiplayer on bigger maps with shitty combat.

Just briefly cruising around the internet the gaming media's reception to what was presented seems decidedly cool/mixed. Which doesn't effect me one way or the other but is certainly interesting since the media has always loved Bungie and in most cases been overly respectful imo.

Bungie should have made it a 12 hour museum shooter, the gaming press would have staged their own Thunderdome to see who could give it the best rimjob.

my feeling is that Destiny's innovation probably lies in its online infrastructure i.e. the way Bungie has made it seem like passively getting into a group and having a jolly co-operative experience is their key focus with this game, not necessarily ground-breaking first-person shootin' thangs. They already kinda locked down fantastic shooting with the Halo games, I can respect wanting to try something a little different with the online infrastructure.

However that gameplay still looks ass :poop

c'mon bungie, even bumbling thumbstick types are getting on the mobility wagon (scooter?) with titanfall. you can't pull something even slower than the floaty glacial approach to combat that you've cruised on for the last decade and expect people to get excited.

this makes halo look like quake III.

While I agree about your assessment of their past, I think the collective gaming press is waiting for Bungie to fail, having divorced themselves from Microsoft. They're aching for a chance to criticize those who were once-great -- they may still be great, but they're waiting for the moment to turn on Bungie, waiting to be the first to report on the fall.

That's the feeling I'm getting too and it's incredibly shitty.
