That's what I'm hoping for. I have no idea what kind of business model they will go for, F2P, subscription based, pay (once) to play ?
There has to be a free to play multiplayer in the standard game, maybe there will be a subscription model for greater stat tracking, exclusive cosmetic stuff, maybe early access to DLC, but out the box, for $60, you'll be able to play the campaign. They're going to make an obscene amount of money as it is, without raping the consumer.

I do hope our character info is in the cloud.
So when i play on the 360 first and get the Durango version later on i can continue playing further with my decked and pimped out 360 character.
I would so double or triple dip it if i can do that. Not feeling to restart over again when getting the durango version. That would not be a social feature bungie starting over again.

I fully expect them to have a nextgen/PC version in development (one in the same, most likely). And according to the leaks Destiny 2 will be exactly that.
You've made far too many assumptions here.
Not even educated guesses, either, just arbitrary nonsense.

One of the funniest things about this thread is the random, unexplainable Bungie hate.
My guess is the 100 million price tag for a new IP.

I doubt Microsoft is stupid enough to turn down Bungie's new IP. Fail or success, it will make money. I don't see why Bungie would go to Microsoft if they want a multi-platform. You really think Microsoft will fund a AAA game that will make money for Sony? Bungie probably never went to MS because going independent would have been useless. They need a publisher who would holds no allegiance to a platform.

We know they are, as ms had right of refusal on bungies first project.
Do we actually know that? I remember the rumour, that doesn't make it fact.

All I could find are gaming blogs stating their rumors as either "via [insert other gaming blog here]" or "our sources" as sources. Saying you have a source isn't what a source is. Seems like they were trying to paint a 'MS hates Bungie now' image more than anything.
It probably came from some blog that kept on typing articles on it, therefore making it less of a rumor. EDGE proved that works.
The way the accounts are now set up on B.net, where you can link your XBL and PSN (and Facebook and G+) accounts to one central Bungie account suggests that this might be the case. I imagine they'd want to allow you to migrate from 360 to PS4 if you wanted to (or PS3 to Durango).
It was widely reported, but obviously neither MS or Bungie would be allowed to comment about it on record.
Microsoft might just have felt it didn't fit their portfolio, they have Gears and Halo, maybe they didn't want another sci-fi shooter. They'll still make a fortune from all the copies sold on 360.

Sorry, I thought that was confirmed. Strongly rumored would be a better way to state it.
They should rename Destiny to Destiny 2: Beta Version.
I'm interested to see what they have up their sleeve, especially in regards to multiplayer. Jump on me all you want, but I really didn't like any of the Halo campaigns I played (1-3). They were slightly more tolerable in co-op, but I found them to be a bore. The multiplayer is the thing that they need to nail.
Its thought to be more along the line of the crossing's purported "cross-player" mode - something like a hybrid of single player and co-op
A similar structure to Dark Souls perhaps?

The embargo will release no later than Noon.
No one knows for sure. Rumors do point to an MMOFPS though.
I do like the concept - but that isn't it. I think the concept is more
1) mysterious object arrives on earth - accelerates development of humanity
2) Humanity colonises solar system in "golden age"
3) "mysterious enemy" wipes out human presence in the solar system other than one city on earth, of which you are an inhabitant.
From the very little we've seen it seems to be a bit more "near future" than the halo universe.
The first refusal rumour is nothing more than that. Sure, it was strongly suspected, given the seemingly amicable split from Microsoft, but it's by no means a fact. That Bungie continued to create two Halo games following their declaration of independence perhaps points to ODST and Reach being the parting gift, rather than first refusal on their new franchise.
If we look at the reasons for Bungie to split from Microsoft, one of them is definitely to serve a greater number of players who for whatever reason do not wish to use a Microsoft console. In this respect giving Microsoft first refusal on their first game in their new franchise serves to contradict this. What's the incentive? I'm sure the terms of their publishing relationship with Activision are more than adequate in terms of raw resources and creative freedom, so why would they need Microsoft?
Destiny seemingly launching day and date on PS3 is enough evidence to suggest that such an agreement never existed; we know why it makes no sense for Bungie to engage in such a thing, but it makes even less sense for Microsoft to turn it down.

Cool. Can't wait to hear the impressions.
From the same basic molecular elements that brought you Halo.
Something like Planetside 2 but with a lot more structure would please me greatly.
I'd be surprised if Destiny was a 720 exclusive, but then Bungie never fell out with MS so it could happen. Microsofts marketing is brilliant and the game would guarantee to be a huge hit. Mass Effect being a 360 exclusive helped the series out in the long run, ,the same could be for Destiny

So we'll probably see Durango/Orbis at the same time as well then; possibly early 2014 - like Dragon Quest is doing on Wii/WiiU.
Can't help but feel this will be another game thats just too late in the gen but who knows; it could be great.
Releasing when people are getting stuck into GTA must be daunting though.
Would be there for a PC version if it comes.

The contract from 2010 states: "based on the Destiny Property, planned to be massively-multiplayer-style" but it does not mean it is a MMOFPS game. People expect it but "massively-multiplayer-style" could mean it takes elements of a MMO games. At the end, we will find out tomorrow.
Bungie can use the microsoft marketing machine to make destiny a huge hit (as it would likely be the star of their launch lineup)- then use that brand affinity to propel it to even greater success as a multiplatform title, seems logical.
Imagine how popular halo would have become if Halo 2 or 3 went multiplatform - Id wager that that is what bungie is aiming to replicate.

That originally came from an anonymous source on Game Informer in response to someone breaking the MS/Bungie split and afaik was never confirmed.
The person who broke that original news about the split, Jacob Metcalf, wrote:
Which doesn't sound like MS had any say at all. It'll be interesting to see their relationship with MS from here on. If it's true Destiny is being released on PS3 and there is no exclusivity then MS is getting no favours. I wonder if Destiny could really hurt Halo.

i don't know, alot of games like skyrim, cod, borderlands etc are multi plat, but have a strong association with the XBOX brand and bring in a lot of cash for MS. They probably felt they'd be just as well off investing less for timed exclusive dlc or something
Have a feeling people are reading too much into that, too.
People (at least that one person I quoted who assumed way too much) see 'MMO' and their brain links immediately to MMO conventions as we know them now. What's far more likely is that Bungie have sprinkled MMO elements, such as persistence and how the world behaves on top of their new FPS formula to make some unique hybrid that can be loosely defined as massively multiplayer.
I doubt Destiny will have a subscription, and I doubt we'll see quests that ask the player to grind 10 'Fallen' pelts, or whatever.
Those seemingly perturbed at no PC announcement also need to understand just how much Bungie had to scale their studio to create Destiny. They already hired vast numbers of people to produce a Playstation 3 version, staffing up for PC development and the unique challenges that entails to match the standard that Bungie sets itself (in terms of community engagement) would've been an enormous task. Especially considering they're targeting next generation consoles as well.

Yes. I agree. People just read the words "massively-multiplayer" and compare it to MMO games.
Like I said, I expect to see elements of MMO games in Destiny. Games like "Chromehounds" and "Hybrid" do have MMO elements. I am referring to the giant over world map where people have to combine forces to conquer specific areas. Another element could be a guild system. There is plenty of great stuff in MMO games which could work in a Coop game.

God I miss the multiplayer from that game. Why From Software never made a sequel is beyond me.

The poster of the aliens makes me want to buy this game.
Interesting about Watch Dogs, didn't know that was the case at all. More connectivity is a good thing, though, and allows for more immersive, persistent worlds.

Nope, but that's interesting. I've never seen that before. It's from vidoc

So there's no reason to believe it was anything other than a rumour.

Maybe both will be merged to create a seamless experience? That would certainly be interesting, and I could see something like that happening.
