Support NeoGAF

[Stark]

Look at the image I posted above. It has the PS3 and 360 logo on it. If that image is legit (and it should be since it was with IGN's other leaked images), then that would throw a wrench in the idea that it's still timed exclusive. There'd be no reason for them to put the PS3 logo on there if that were the direction that they were heading in with the series.

This is also a legitimate leak that points to it possibly changing. It just seems pointless to have kept that.

 

[Shadders]

Activision court documents showed the first game as a 720 exclusive. Totally a way to blunt PS4 news.

I really wouldn't read anything into that contract. Not only was it from years ago, prior to Acti knowing anything about either console, but also it wasn't as if that was a contract with Microsoft, it was a vague business plan between Activision and Bungie. It's not even as if it might have changed in the intervening time, it will definitely have changed.

 

[Kaako]

Interesting reveal date you got there, Bungie-vision-soft. ;p
Looking forward to see what type of game it is.

 

[Perkel]

Historically is it better or worse to bring to market a big franchise at the end of a console cycle? I guess they're covering their bases by bringing it to at least one of the two next gen consoles(unless that's just an old rumor).

It is better to start new IP on new consoles. People will have less choice to buy so most of them either way will buy that game.

3 day before the PS4 announcement? Yeah MS has something to do with this for certain reasons.

 

[Sowee]

That's interesting news, i wasnt expecting this for a while.

 

[Acidote]

Can't wait.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Dunno. I'm inclined to think they realize it's a bit pointless to make it a timed exclusive? I'm not seeing the benefits. You're kind of pushing aside a part of your potential market, no? What is the point of doing that aside from some good money for the publisher?

Things can change, right?

And yeah, partially since I don't own a 360 and would like to play it at launch.

If MS paid for the first exclusive to actibliz with A LOT OF MONEY like GTA episodes money than why not.

 

[exYle]

YES!

 

[VincitOmnis]

It's ready.

 

[The_Monk]

Is this a next-gent title only or is going to be cross-platform fellow GAFfers?

Thanks in advance.

 

[spats]

Kaz getting cockblocked.

I hope the game looks cool.

Well, obviously it would put spotlight on the whichever console it comes exclusively to for whatever amount of time. It can influence people's purchasing decisions. Bungie and Activision also have a really good relationship with Microsoft, specifically Bungie.

Cross gen.

 

[Grief.exe]

PC version.

Can't wait to play a Bungie game again.

Thanks in advance.

Early rumors are putting it cross-generation.

 

[El_Chino]

Is this a "next-gen" game?

It's a cross-gen game apparently .

 

[i-Lo]

Nope

Explain"nope"?

It's a cross-gen game apparently .

Does that prohibit it from being labelled a next gen title?

 

[Jarnet87]

The next generation is here for mindless people and 8 year olds. Behold the coming of the most overrated FPS since Halo.

I would assume not.

They will probably create high res assets for the PC and next-gen platforms, then scale them down for the 360/PS3 versions.

Really no different then they do now for the PC then scale them down for the console versions.

Thanks for answering. Probably PC, 360 and next-box then?

Most likely PS4 as well, but there is a rumored timed-exclusive with Next Box.

3 day before the PS4 announcement? Yeah MS has something to do with this for certain reasons.

Or they reveal on Sunday, with no gameplay footage. Then on Wednesday they walk on stage at the Sony conference and give us our first in-game look running on PS4.

Maybe Sony asked them to unveil at their conference, but weren't prepared to give Bungie more than 10 minutes or something, so Bungie chose to do reveal just before the event and then knock it out of the park on Wednesday?

That makes more sense to me than Activision and Bungie choosing to try and rain on Sony's parade when they will both be wanting to sell games for Sony's new console.

It's not as if Bungie will be able to say it's on Durango on Sunday, Durango doesn't even exist, officially.

 

[Stark]

I guess so. There's still that IGN leak though so we'll see.

deals can be easily thrown out the window so you never know! I don't see this having relation to Durango though.

Not at all but it's also not next-gen only, hence why I refer to it as cross-gen.

 

[def sim]

I hope this does release simultaneously on all platforms. I'd love for ridiculously large scaled shooters to catch on next gen.

 

[Baconsammy]

Can't wait.

I had the opposite immediate reaction. I see lady bits with a maxipad.

Every thread needs one of these guys. You're that guy. Don't be that guy.

Grow up.

 

[Trey]

I'm prepared.

 

[Iacobellis]

Seems Microsoft is making the first move!

It's multiplatform, dude.

 

[SolidSnakex]

3 day before the PS4 announcement? Yeah MS has something to do with this for certain reasons.

What would this even do? They aren't going to announce it for the next Xbox. It's unlikely that anything will be announced specifically for that platform until MS unveils it.

 

[slightconfuse]

Major Nelson just reteeeted the destiny twitter account !!

 

[Spongebob]

Hype!

Maybe we'll see this running on the PS4 on the 20th.

 

[Baconsammy]

Durango launch title?

Could be, but I still don't see Activision/Bungie's motivation to screw over Sony if they also intend to release it on their console(s). Am I being the "no fun" guy now? I admit conspiracies are more fun than reality, I'm just not feeling this one.

 

[dc89]

I can't wait. Sounded such a good concept from the leaked information.

 

[Ryaaan14]

My erection is firm and ready.

Feels like this game has been under wraps for a decade.

AND PLEASE GOD BE NEXT-GEN.

 

[Hana-Bi]

It's multiplatform, dude.

It's Crossplatform.

 

[slightconfuse]

Well we see soon but a timed Xbox exclude means the Ms is footing some if the bill and I imagine hey would want to steal some of sonys thunder wih out revealing too much.

The next game from the creators of halo making a game for Durango is a big deal

 

[Rastafarian42]

So do we know if it's a 1st person shooter or what ?

 

[Always-honest]

The next generation is here for mindless people and 8 year olds. Behold the coming of the most overrated FPS since Halo.

Excellent post. Might even be post of the year. You make Gaf proud. Thank you.
Again, thank you!

 

[ironcreed]

Exciting times. Looking forward to it.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

I refuse to support Activision so I if I play this it will be a used copy and will not buy DLC.

 

[Zia]

I heard Destiny is to be published by Namco-Bandai in Japan under the title Kasai kokoro unmei. Eh, ehhhh?

 

[Iacobellis]

It's Crossplatform.

It's both!

 

[derFeef]

I am Brave Bungie, I am.

 

[wwm0nkey]

So even if the game turns out to be amazing fun you wouldn't buy it just because Activision is publishing it?.......No words.

 

[SapientWolf]

Is this a "next-gen" game?

Cross gen.

 

[schwabdizzle]

Can't wait to see some CG, Artwork, Screenshots and ZERO gameplay.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

So even if the game turns out to be amazing fun you wouldn't buy it just because Activision is publishing it?.......No words.

Yes, 100%. I vote with my wallet.

 

[Spongebob]

I wonder if we'll get another taste of next-gen graphics on the 17th. Current gen games are hurting my eyes.
