Destiny Reveal Thread
- Thread starter Tashi
- Start date
First impression and all, this is really a lukewarm reveal for that amount of hype they built up (or we built up).

Yep, the reveal was extremely underwhelming. I find it hilarious that people are saying it looks too much like Halo when we were shown basically nothing.
The game is nothing like planetside 2.

Getting a massive ToRtanic-Style flop feel here.

Hmmm... I'm thinking they probably should have either shown no gameplay or waited until they could have shown next-gen footage.

So, why are the ones who don't care not allowed to comment now? I don't get understand how they're being infantile over not having meltdowns over graphics. :-/

To be fair we've only seen a negligible amount of footage.

IGN on their live feed: "Always online is definitely confirmed."
Anddddd there goes my interest.

Jeff saying they went to extreme lengths to hide the game during the press event.
He spoke to some devs and they were surprised they didnt show gameplay during event.
He hints that it was pulled last minute - and says `he wouldn't be shocked to see a proper trailer during Sony event.` But who knows.

Pretty much. They're so sure this is gonna be huge.
Xbox Infinity?
fuuuuuck
Xbox Infinity?
omg.
Underwhelming to say the least, but hey, it's always nice to be around for the start of a new sci-fi universe.
I'm surprised people were expecting it to look better than Halo 4, it isn't like these guys are 343i or Naughty Dog or something with one console to concentrate on. A game with MMO elements on multiple different consoles was never going to look as good as a SP experience on one, so it doesn't bother me in the slightest that it isn't the next coming of sliced bread.

Are you serious, not even the press got to see gameplay? Not exactly the unveil folks were wanting.

And it will probably look heaps and bounds better when it's finished.

holy shit, so that's where he ended up. Thanks for this. I feel so dumb right now. Had no idea where he went off too. Again, thanks.
Well, he called the entire reveal underwhelming because of it.

I don't know why some people are dissapointed with the game graphically. Given that the game is on current gen consoles and is open world, those graphics looked great. That screenshot is a poor example of how the game looks in motion.
WHICH IS THE PROBLEM. We knew nearly everything they revealed here already, so what people were really hungry for (graphics, gameplay, etc) we saw like 30 seconds of and a lot of that was not great. Is it representative of the final product? I'm sure not. But that's not the point, the point is this was their "big reveal" and it was severely underwhelming.
Xbox Infinity?
Wait, what
Xbox Infinity?
Oh shit.
My gameplay I meant any action. I wouldn't consider a few seconds of running "gameplay."

If they're going to continue the series on next-gen platforms, I'd wager that's something they have to do to secure funding.

Oops?
It sounds overly ambitious.
You can have your own private adventures!
Or you can play together with other people!
You can fly a spaceship!
You can visit other worlds, which are all sprawling, highly detailed and diverse!
There are different classes!
There's customizable weapons, loot, unique items, etc!
The stuff you do actually changes the world for other players as well!
And it's going to be on many different consoles (and maybe PCs too)
No wonder it doesn't look ready after 3 years.
Even if it did look ready, they would probably need a long time to really tune the game correctly. As seen with Blizzard and Diablo 3, that shit is hard even for companies with experience in this.
Xbox Infinity?
Hahah, I knew it! Totally planned lol
This isn't a mistake because they took the time to censor the ID.
Actually, I didn't see that anywhere. Give me a timestamp and I won't consider it fake.
Xbox Infinity?
Woah woah woah woah what is this?
