Posted?

Pro-order bonuses for Bungie's upcoming mega first-person shooter Destiny are arriving at GameStop stores today. The double-sided posters will be available as pre-order bonuses beginning Monday, according to our GameStop source

Those enemies look pretty sweet!

 

[RepairmanJack]

Those kind of look like big meaner grunts.

So not an MMO confirmed?

 

[Killer]

I knew they will use "from the creators of Halo"

Cool concept art. That what prothean should've looked like in H4.

Competitive mode confirmed! HALO had a good run.

 

[StuBurns]

Reserve your copy today?

Platforms are being announced, rad.

 

[Nirolak]

Split bump.

 

[zlatko]

Wow. The 17th is my birthday, and my new years resolution was "be brave."

Bungie knows me all too well.

 

[The Technomancer]

I don't know why but I get a Mass Effect vibe from those guys. And thats a good thing.

 

[Gui_PT]

Gamestop only?

Same old same old.

I'll never ever get pre-order extras.

 

[Strike]

Things are really starting to pick up now. It's exciting.

 

[Tashi]

I almost wanna go dark until Sunday. So I can get the full shock and awe.

 

[Prologue]

Looks like a man sitting on the moon.

 

[stephen08]

I am digging the design of those... guys. Aliens I guess? Can't wait to find out more!

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

"From the creators of Halo and the publisher of Call of Duty"

 

[BloodMoney]

looks awesome
hoping its on PS4 day 1

 

[outunderthestars]

The preorder stuff doesn't list platforms?

 

[Raide]

As long as their is loot of some description, I am Day 1. Would be awesome to see a Console built MMOFPS by a big developer.

 

[Korosenai]

Hmm preorder's already. Will be interesting to see how that works out since the nextbox isn't officially announced yet (assuming this will still be a next gen game as well).

 

[StuBurns]

"From the creators of Halo and the publishers of Call of Duty"

What's wrong with that?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Doesn't say which console. Hmmm!!

Whenever no console is mentioned, I believe it'll be for next-gen systems as well.

 

[Jb]

Oh shit son. From the flyer seems like the game is a mix of solo/coop/competitive game, rather than separate modes.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Couldn't have moved that card over so we could see the rest of the text?

 

[GhaleonEB]

"vehicles"

This word makes me very happy.

 

[thetrin]

Man, they're really banking on people not knowing what a publisher actually does.

 

[shinobi602]

All these leaks...

 

[whyman]

Looks like another Halo. :S

Competitive Multiplayer!

I just don't want it to be like Halo/CoD. I want something new from "competitive" multiplayer.

 

[rakkadakka]

Rating Pending? Any chance it might end up M?

 

[SpudBud]

Sunday seems so far away.

 

[Nirolak]

Rating Pending? Any chance it might end up M?

Yeah the contract said they were targeting a T, but hitting an M wouldn't be considered a breach of contract.

 

[Beckx]

There is a lot of delicious detail in that half-covered poster.\

....Traveler. It sparked a Golden Age....

...something hit us, knocked us down...

...defend the City....

...defeat powerful foes and earn unique.... [This sounds MMO or RPG/Sish, though could imply a basic progression system, I guess]

..vehicles... [PLEASE BE SPACESHIPS, PLEASE BE SPACESHIPS]

 

[StuBurns]

Rating Pending? Any chance it might end up M?

The industry is long passed caring, the biggest games are M rated, it's not like R-rated films.

 

[dmr87]

Competitive Multiplayer!

Shocker.

 

[Jarmel]

So sounds like it's definitely coming out this year.

 

[RepairmanJack]

I'm very interested in seeing the rest of the lines about defending a city and the one about earning unique...

 

[shinnn]

"From the creators of Halo

and the publishers of Call of Duty"

 

[Doffen]

Yeah the contract said they were targeting a T, but hitting an M wouldn't be considered a breach of contract.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Man, they're really banking on people not knowing what a publisher actually does.

Meh. It's the same as movies mentioning "From Producer Christopher Nolan, of The Dark Knight Trilogy". It's a marketing grab.

 

[Elginer]

Oh yes, can't wait!

 

[ChosenPredator]

I know it's going multi platform but i could of swore i read it's xbox exclusive for awhile

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Split bump.

Thanks.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

"From the creators of Halo and the publisher of Call of Duty"

What's wrong with that?

I think it's a weird thing to advertise with. Publishers don't have much effect on a game, so why would a specific publisher be a selling point? Or are they banking on the general audience not knowing the difference between developers and publishers?

I wasn't trying to rip on CoD or anything, I guess I made it look like that.

 

[rakkadakka]

The industry is long passed caring, the biggest games are M rated, it's not like R-rated films.

I'd still rather play an M than a T.. whatever that actually means. More M less T please.

 

[cuyahoga]

Oh yes, can't wait!

There are Mark Duplass-related memes now? Wow.

 

[diamount]

So not an MMO confirmed?

I don't know why you jumped to that conclusion.

 

[Nirolak]

Reserve your copy today?

Platforms are being announced, rad.

Are they?

That card is surprisingly absent of platforms.

 

[StuBurns]

Listing a publisher does say something about the project, publishers dictate terms, and secure promotion and first party relationships. To say it's from the publishers of Call of Duty says quite a lot about how the franchise will be positioned and supported.

Are they?

That card is surprisingly absent of platforms.

How can they not?

"Would you like to preorder Destiny, the new game from the makers of Halo?"
"What's it on?"
"No idea."
"No, then."
