Destiny Reveal Thread
- Thread starter Tashi
- Start date
It's Jeff, but you would have to be crazy to think that. It would essentially involve making two different games.
I'll be waiting for that version.
Done already.
It is science/space fantasy like Star Wars.
Which is one reason i think i'm going to love the world...
But that's the part that actually looks cool.
You argue now agaisnt something with the point of a future 10 year plan? Wat.
Comparing Planetside 2 to Destiny is also somehow seemingly stupid for now, and yes wow a finished PC game looks better than a WIP console game which never stated to have such high player numbers..
No it's Geff, different guy. Look again.
Anarchy Online says please combine SciFi with Magic.

Not necessarily. It could just mean that the servers are different, and the next-gen versions support higher player counts. Along with a PC version.
Seems to be instanced dungeon crawler with possible hubs. FPS instead of 3rd person.Looks really, really great. The only problem is...i don´t know what kind of game it is on a big scale. I know you shoot stuff, so we got Bungie´s 30 seconds of fun! But the rest? Is it like Borderlands? Anyway, looks awesome
I was pretty excited for this but now i just don't know. MMOs are almost all garbage and the only good ones came out 10+ years ago. Bungie is promising the exact same thing every single new-age MMO developer has been promising and failing to pull off for years and years.
This really isn't what I was expecting at all. Good luck, Bungie.

Actually the entire video they were talking about their ideas and ambitions. On the IGN stream they said that the point of this was to reveal the setting and the universe, not the game. Bungie should probably have mentioned this beforehand though.

Here are the text messages from the Vidoc. I think it sheds light on how the game will be supported post-launch:
I like this.

Dreams of a world where inflated review scores save studios
what a horrible way of revealing a game. first they invite a bunch of journalists to fly to Seattle and they don't show them any game play footage. then they release a vidoc with more iPhone footage then actual game play footage.

No wonder the gaming industry keeps pumping out gritty-nitty generic shooters.

I rather like the teaser reveal. Showed me some of the world and the concept behind the game. Just enough to get excited about the game and be pumped for E3.
Also, I think they are stuck waiting for MS and Sony to both unveil their new systems before they can really show off the full scope of the game.

hmmmmm....I think Geoff in his introduction is over stating seeing the game running after watching Jeff in his underpants talk about the experience at Bungie.
As for the unveiling itself....Underwhelming.
A lot of "this will be cool", but we aren't prepared to show anything concrete to back this up.
You have to question why today? I really don't see any reason to show this now. Lots of speculation, and what ifs. I could sense Jeff's frustration from the day visitin Bungie due to not actually being able to see the game. Even going as far to blur screens out on small monitors showing play testing stats.
Overall. Could be a cool premise Bungie. But I dunno.
I'm pretty sure the color saturation is just Bungie trying to show off their new dynamic lighting system and day/night cycle by setting the footage at sunset. All the articles I've read have mostly been Bungie flouting their new tech, so it makes sense that they would do the same with their footage. Beyond that, it's also just one planet, when we know they're doing at least Earth, the moon, Mars, and Venus. It would make sense for different worlds to have different hues and lighting to illustrate the different atmospheres.
Jeff was speculating. They didn't say anything about next gen versions.

If planetside comes to the ps4 then this game will instantly look underwhelming. Which is very possible as Planetside is a Sony franchise I believe.
That's about what I was thinking as well. And the "lobby" is you and your friends starships just cruising around?
We need more. Bungie is in the awkward position of making/announcing a huge project for current gen that will also be out for next gen...while not being able to talk about next gen. They're (I believe) the first developer to fully reveal a cross gen game, so it'll be interesting to see how it all works out.
Yeah, the art style rarely is going to change what a fps looks or plays like

Didn't aegies say a big third party non-exclusive would be shown there? Or is that something else?

Sci-Fi demands technology, whether it be beyond our comprehension it doesn't matter, it shouldn't be referred to as magic. Something that Star Trek does amazingly well.
I took a 720p screen of the menu from the Vidoc:
These correspond with the tabs in that app, except for the gated one at the end. Wonder what that one is for?

God Jeff, put some pants on for a change.
With the YouTube video being titled "Pathways Out of Darkness", for a minute there I thought that we were going to see another Pathways into Darkness game!

This made me laugh way too hard lol
The shots overlooking the city looked quite impressive, not so much the rest of the in-game stuff.
Planetside is completely Sony and if they can get it running for the PS4 with cross platform play against PC, this game will have immediate competition.
Add to that Planetside 2 is F2P.

So loot lockouts are in place. Hopefully they don't try to monetize them by selling reset tokens in the cash shop.
I am just not sure about this always online, MMO aspect. Would rather have a separate, epic open world single player, with a huge multiplayer component on the side. Trying to force all of this together, with having to always be online could ultimately spell disaster. It's a tall order and it will be interesting indeed to see if they can pull it off without lots of problems.
