I'm playing Defiance...NOT DESTINY!

[Buruko]

Destiny is a always online-shooter with MMO elements, they don't want to use the word MMO at all and I'd say that's fair. While the dynamic weather and a hyped "alive" code sounds incredible, it may just be that incredible to hear. Also according to the contract Bungie has with Activision they are on the hook for four Destiny games, the first of which should be out late 2013, so Defiance has 8 months to gain players, introduce their world, and for the TV show's 1st season to run it's course.

I've never been a Bungie fan, and absolutely hated Halo so I'm already on the meh list about Destiny, beyond some features that could be vapor to begin with it just sounds like Halo Online to me. I'd wager that Defiance will be just fine, I mean it already has stiff competition already.

Destiny is a F2P Shared world shooter that is completely open world being developed by Bungie, and has been stated many times that it is not a MMO or RPG. It is being developed for only consoles atm, although has been hinted slightly for a PC launch later down the road.

In many ways i feel defiance and destiny will be very similar gameplay wise but we will see.

From what I've heard, Destiny is directly ripping off Defiance but it's going to be first person and they're adding their own "Bungie flair".

Prooooobably not going to support it.

How could Bungie rip off Defiance when the Destiny has been in pre-production for years?

Unless I'm wrong hasn't Defiance been in production for years as well?

True but I as far as I know Destiny has been in pre-production longer. I've heard since before the end of Reach they were pulling people off to start a pitch for the game. Unless Trion says when they started then I'll retract what I said. More importantly it's stupid to say any game stole something from another this day in age.

@War Master Degan Do you even internet, bro? Ever heard of a troll? Stop feeding it!

First off, "do you even internet?" That made me lol and I'm not mocking you I promise! :-)
Now I know not to feed the Troll but it happens from time to time.

Oh no... I had the same problem.

I was asking my friend if he was going to order Defiance since I was so hyped up about it. I was telling him some of the back-round and I said it was made by Trion Worlds. He replied that it was in-fact made by Bungie. A few days later, he says that I was right and Destiny was being made by Bungie. I get very entertained when proving people wrong.

First mention of Destiny was a hint in Halo:ODST in 2009, as they were still Microsoft bound until late 2007 any title they made would be MS property, so they couldn't have started a new game til after their split. Defiance was in production five years ago which would be 2006~2007. So Defiance was in production first imo.

However I don't think either is ripping on the other as public knowledge was not strong for either title til recently, so how could anyone rip on something nobody knew anything about? I think each game will appeal to different types of gamers and maybe some will play both.

[War Master Degan]

That is why I said "pitch" Bungie wouldn't leave to start somewhere new without knowing what they were doing. Also I meant to say ODST instead of Reach.
