No PC? Pass

Sorry,everybody knows that PC players hate mandatory internet connections.

"We would absolutely love to be on the PC. If you talk to the people upstairs, we play it on all platforms. So, stay tuned." No mention was made of a Wii U version.

Listen to a grown man in underwear.

[Huff]

well bungies never been known for their great grafix

[Purple Filth]

Seems like they are still cagey as fuck in regards to showing the game according to jeff even though they keep indicating that they are playing it all the time in the office.

[maxy]

So, went to see "Destiny" Didn't see it, was told about it being awesome. Embargo lifts along with pre-orders. I need to take a shower.

[Stoney Mason]

Reading the news it sounds like it may not even come out his year.   

[maxy]

It sounds to me that Bungie chewed up a lot more than it can handle.This thing was in incubation stage after Halo 3 release,iirc



I see some people hoping for PS4 reveal.That would be a real shitstorm,not because of system warriors but because it looks like press wasted few days for nothing.
Why not just release VidDoc if you have absolutely nothing to show to the press(even under heavy NDA)?

[Stoney Mason]

Also Planetside 2 looks MILES ahead of this. A generational difference.

 

[fistfulofmetal]

Why is this a current gen game?

it's likely cross gen. they can't say anything about the other version obviously.

[cool breeze]

so this is an instanced style mmo game with loot? sometimes there are reductionist comparisons that have truth to them.  what people are saying is halo+borderlands+journey/test drive unlimited.

[Stoney Mason]

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.

[Stoney Mason]

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.

[maxy]

If this is true

Some of the footage in this reveal video is cut from interviews that happened in 2011 as party of Bungie's ViDoc O Brave New World.

 

I don't have the strength to compare.

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.

i applaud the move to iOS

[Don Flamenco]

I'm definitely not playing this on PS3 or 360, but I think it looks cool.  Hopefully next gen also includes PC.

I bet you will buy PSVista version,lamer.

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.

Bungie and Activision screwing up a game reveal? Why I never thought such a thing could occur! 

[maxy]

Had to troll it a little but what a mess.Looking forward to other next gen reveals 

[Don Flamenco]

even the coding says "psvista."   

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.

[treythemovie]

I'm confused. Was that coding from Black Ops 2 or Destiny? 

[maxy]

It's some generic stuff,pay no attention to it.

[maxy]

[Cormacaroni]

<thinks back to Halo's gestation>

yeah, this could be a while

[Verdigris Murder]

Next gen MS paywalled game. But it'll be free with Gold membership.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Crap announcement.

Maybe at the ps4 event there will be some real footage?

[chronovore]

i applaud the move to iOS

[pilonv1]

Has anyone determined if there will be hats?

[Vertigo]

Not quite sure why Bungie decided to reveal this now.

We know there are next gen version/s. Why waste all the goodwill they had by showing PS360 versions?

[Cormacaroni]

I'm guessing it was a publisher-mandated milestone that they sort of blew

[Diunx]

"how can anything be bigger then Halo?"

[maxy]

http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/02/18/bungies-destiny-not-coming-in-2013

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.

 

[Joe Molotov]

That gotta polish that shit up for the Cell.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Stuff like this should launch exclusive alongside next gen. That would be in the best interest of the industry as a whole.

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. 

[Cerveza mas fina]

I mean like making people upgrade.

[Phoenix Dark]

well this rollout has been a disaster

[treythemovie]

Something obviously went wrong with this game's development. A soft reveal, no trailer, and now it's not coming out till next year. Hopefully they get their shit together since so much is riding on this game's success.

On the other hand, the post-mortem of this game will probably be fascinating.

Could be activision forced them to put something out.

Or their hubris led them think they they could give us shit and we'll like it because Bungie.

like you wouldn't bitch about that

do you remember Halo, the Mac-exclusive RTS? I'm guessing it will have a troubled gestation but i'm betting against a train wreck

[chronovore]

I love pointing out to people that HALO was announced on a Mac, as a then-exclusive title. I didn't remember that it was an RTS, but it doesn't shock me. Myth was great.

[Cormacaroni]

Myth was great, yeah

<feeble old man dap>

[Cerveza mas fina]

Myth was great yeah, is that a Bungie game?

[chronovore]

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.

[Squiddy]

Great looking game for sure, nice and colourful like Halo.
Silly tards complaining about it being "too much like Halo" and "not gritty and grey enough".

Sounds like you want a Nintendo product 

I kind agree this would be too much maybe, but they are aiming this to be a lifestyle game like WoW/Dota etc.

[Squiddy]

Smartphone (have they even mentioned Android yet?) integration will hopefully just be a neat bonus for those without life, not a crucial component of "Destiny".
