    Not really the place to put this thread and it's Bungie/ Activision...and we will have to wait until E3 to see something about Destiny.

    Im gona save my review on it till I see some gameplay. Anyone who says it sucks only says that because they hate the developer not a good way to judge a game.

    ^this I agree.

    Though with the concept arts I've seen of Destiny and the new video I think it would be a lot better as a Third Person-shooter.

    well i do agree that its narrow minded, but i also disagree with some people do dislike games because they simply dont like the way some studios do games,i for one largly hated halo. so im not looking exactly waiting on tender hooks to see what destiny does. but that wont stop me checking it out. and hopefully being surprised

    Not at all interested or worried about Destiny. It's console only, so has no real impact on what I play. :p

    And it's not affiliated with Microsoft from what I understand. Bungie did this one with Activision after they split from MS and lost the Halo franchise.

    Wait its console only? I though they were coming out with a PC version also. Well I guess I really will be passing this game then. Guess I still won't be supporting Bungie or any of there previous games for that matter.

    They may be. The one press release I read earlier today didn't mention PC at all, it specifically stated Xbox/PS3.

    According to Forbes, it's not available for PC. At least not yet anyway.

    The game will launch on the XBOX 360 and PS3, and Bungie has not yet revealed any plan for cross-platform development.

    Well that really sucks, even though we only got a basic plot so far It could be interesting maybe. But still im more exited for Cyberpunk but that may be more because I have a huge fan of Deus Ex and any sort of future\adv tech scifi type of game.

    Probably not, but that would be a different project. MS isn't involved with this one. :)

    Never know they did with halo, and gears of war. Granted I don't like those 2 games much besides halo 1 but still I'm sure a lot of PC gamers would have bought them.

    Well MS stands for Microsoft, Destiny is a new game coming out. And it's an elephant because it's big and grey with a long nose.

    Tons of PC gamers would have bought into the rest of the Halo franchise had MS not firmly lodged it's cranium in it's rectum. Halo got it's start as a computer game and later was ported and developed for consoles. MS wanted to milk the Xbox to the exclusion of everything else, however, so they eventually canned the PC releases.

    I'm with you on this...... its better have a killer co-op or multiplayer to step up to Defiance, also free DLC will be needed like in Mass Effect 3 to keep me coming back. Otherwise I'll put it on back log and wait till it goes downs in price. Buy it for 20$ at gamestop beat within 7 days so then I can return and get my 20 back.

    If you read the contract between activision and bungie I believe. It states the Destiny Game #1 to be PS3, Xbox 360, and possible Xbox 720. Then listed under Destiny Game #2 it stated PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox 720, and PC. So it's possible that because they have a 10-year development window after the release, they may remake the game for the next gen consoles and port it to PC as well.

    ms = Microsoft.
    Destiny = new game made by bungie (same guys who made halo)
    Elephant in the room = a common used moto to suggest that something is so obvious and yet everyone is ignoring it like its not there, such as an elephant standing in the room and no one is talking about it.

    As for the game its so early days its im sure all this will change. As info is released

    I was actually speaking with a Gamestop rep today, he said theyre going all big throughout their store about advertisement. He said its Xbox/Playstation only and will be cross platform. (Howd hell they get cross platform where Defiance couldnt though is beyond me)

    It's not cross platform. Just watched the Destiny livestream debut on IGN. On a side note, the game looks very interesting and from what iv'e gathered from the stream this game is going to be something nice.

    Yup, I watched that too and I'm pretty sure they mentioned that the consoles won't be able to play against each other.

    http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/...ungies-destiny

    It's somewhere in that video, don't really remember when.

    Also, Gamespot says:

    At this point, the only two platforms Bungie and Activision have confirmed for Destiny are Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Is it coming to PC? No comment. Is it coming to next-gen systems? No comment.
    So it might come out on PC too, eventually. I doubt it will be anytime in the near future though. Shame, it looked pretty interesting, even if it's not actually an MMO. ;)

    From what I can tell here at work, it looks like it was only just announced...I would hardly call something that looks like info was released so recently you could damn near lick the ink off the screen "The Elephant in the Room". More like the Elephant that just entered the city. It may or may not be armed.

    Agreed, though even if it may compete with Defiance when it releases, most of what I've seen is that it won't release till next year.. by then Defiance will have a strong player base i feel;

    Bungie doesnt belong to MS anymore, Destiny is Activision Blizzard project, and one of the biggest ones along Titan. Bungie signed 10 year contract with AB back in 2001. Its big thing for AB, no doubt we see mega marketting.

    I suppose theres hope Titan is fantasy if this is sci-fi. One can only hope about Diablo MMORPG. Let Wow be for kids, and make another more mature/dark/horror fantasy MMORPG could make sense.

    Destiny is a Bungie project, they have supposedly been working on it since ODST days as there are rumours of some Destiny related images hidden though out the game.

    As far as I am aware Activision does not own any share in Destiny, they are just under contract to publish the games

    thanks yoda... sorry couldnt resist. seriously tho yea i agree, by the time destiny hits Defiance will either have made it or have fallen short.

    Don't know why this is in General Discussion, but Destiny look like Halo and Borderlands 2. i couldn't imagine this being a MMO if they are releasing 3 to 4 games in a 10 year span.

    Ign basically confirmed it's an mmo in their live stream. They also said it's part Halo, Borderlands, and Planetside 2.

    yeah i watch the live stream too, and i still dont think its a MMO. Why would you pay 60 dollars for the same MMO every 2 years?

    what I don't get is that Bungie game wont come out till maybe end of this year or next year and already they are in the front display on xbox live dashboard, but yet Defiance is coming out in 2 months and all I seen is a coop trailer and some avatar stuff.

    If this project is so big how come its not all over xbox live?

    I was thinking the exact same thing.

    the thing that has my interest is they keep refering to it as a "shared world shooter" rather then called it an MMO. basically the same or remarkably simliar, so why not just called it an mmo. feels like there trying to avoid something publicity wise.

    This is a total mystery,one of the worst pre-launch advertising
    ,i've ever seen on XBL and mostly everywhere else.And Destiny is already on pre-order in some retailers (in France).No release date but i guess it will be october because Activision will launch also a new COD in november(as usual). :rolleyes:
