well we will have to see, but I doubt MS will show anything.
I'm not saying there is a secret Xbox 3 announcement event in five days, but if this game really is on 360/PS3/Durango, and they're about to show it, why do it now when if they can't show the next-gen version?
 
Is this a FPS?

Reports are that it plays like Halo (the most gameplay details actually come out of the paragraph below the one that's boxed in red):

I have no idea what to expect. Did Bungie ever do anything noteworthy before Halo?
Marathon was Doom with a (fantastic) story and aliens. Marathon 2 is tied with Rise of the Triad as the first shooter with dual wielding (they came out on the same day). Myth was a really excellent tactical RTS that doesn't get nearly enough credit for doing away with dirt farming and using terrain and physics in its simulation. Halo put Bungie at the forefront, but they made some really cool stuff before it.

Gnop was a Pong clone.
 
Maybe you are being sarcastic, but Destiny is going to be published by Activision, it's not exclusive to MS.

Court documents showed that it was probably going to be MS exclusive for a year... I guess they'll have to dance around the next gen issue unless MS really are going to surprise us in the next few days.

they will probably simply show a bunch of CGI story stuff and wait to debut gameplay until the next gen consoles are both revealed.

They could, it may happen it may not. I just doubt it will.
 
My point is that the whole reason why Bungie stopped making Halo was because it got boring for them. Now they are doing another sci-fi FPS for 10 years.

TBF being bored with one sci fi fps doesn't exactly mean mean your bored with them all, that's like saying being bored with elder scrolls is the sames as being bored with all rpgs...

Wasn't it contracted for those system and PS4 eventually? I can't remember what the court documents said, but I'm almost sure that the PS4 is a strong maybe.

Probably already been answered but they were the premier game developers for the Mac platform before Microsoft bought them out. They made Myth and Marathon, to be specific. Apple fans were furious when Microsoft bought Bungie and made Halo (something originally supposed to be released for the Mac) a Microsoft platform exclusive.
 
IN THERE.

I would have expected Monday because of the ARG, but this is great to know too. Next week is going to be amazing for gamers. Destiny reveal, MGR, and the PS4 reveal.

It's on this page or the one before, read it - Destiny 1 isn't coming to PS4 and MAY come to PS3 a year after the 360/720 release.
 
I remember them mentioning a few key words:

  • Star Wars (for influence)
  • Accessible
  • Inner seven year old (most likely means T rating)

The last two trouble me. Perhaps in time, Bungie will allay my fears.

It is a simple concept of raining on Sony's parade by stealing news headlines, attention and eye balls. It is both simple and measured. 17th will be glorious.
 
Paul McCartney....................... he quit making good music before i was born (in the early 80's).

Forgive all my sarcasm, i am genuinely excited about what Bungie has been working on... but Paul McCartney doing the soundtrack sounds awful.

I think you're crazy. Bungie's new IP is not even close to the profile of a PS4 reveal.

He is working with Marty, its all good.
 
Gameplay footage or bust.

Also, I asked before but did the rumors say this was Xbox 360 and the two next-gen consoles, or just the latter?
 
Here's hoping the contract was amended. I just can't imagine Activision spending probably upwards of $50 million USD for one current gen console and one next-gen console with a small install base (relatively speaking).

I need this on Orbis... this year! Bungie... make it happen.

Do you think that forums and news outlets, till the 20th, will be talking about anything other than Bungie's new game (from creators of Halo!1!)? I may have injected a bit of hyperbole but this is a great way for MS to get ahead of Sony's announcement. Of course, on the 20th and hence, the forums would be ablaze with the discussions of Sony's reveal as well as Destiny (and how it provides a taste of what Durango is capable of).
 
Hey Bungie. I met this really nice girl at your office once called Konoko.
She was quite fun, sexy and very unique especially considering how girls were back then.

WHERE IS SHE?!
WHERE IS ONI 2: REVENGEANCE?

But seriously, hopefully it's good. Since I adore the Halo series, the only X-BOX exclusive series worth playing.

EDIT:

ONI 2 by Platinum would be godly but we need another Dev/Publisher making a spectacle fighter type game. Remember Me doesn't count.
 
I just hope all my assumptions that this game will have elements where you can mold the world like they teased includes physical molding and that that includes the proper map editor that's been so long overdue in Halo games. And that it exists in both SP and MP.

I actually forgot about Oni. Doesn't Sony own that IP?

And I forgot about gnop, but no one cares about gnop.

So Activision/Bungie are trying to steal PS4's thunder? For what? Or are you saying Activision is doing Microsoft's bidding?
 
Isn't this suppose to be an MMO?

Pumped.

If it's not on PC it will be shit thought. 360 is not capable of doing anything impressive at this point.
