Destiny Reveal Thread
- Thread starter Tashi
- Start date
But, what will the dude bros that see GTAV/Destiny/COD out for systems they already have think about the new ones? They'll most likely hold off a year. Then, what happens in 2014? The big games will only release on the new systems? Or will the publishers again say "We can't ignore the free money thats to made off of the ps360 install base".
That shit will hurt the industry. These guys need to bite the bullet and commit to next gen.
The game seems interesting.
The problem we're having is the part where they didn't actually show it after demanding so much attention for this reveal.

Well yes, but in a more 'gritty, hardcore' setting where guys like me can get into it, if I'm making sense. I think I can be more immersed in a game if it's by Bungie or built in a similar manner.

My speculation.
Bungie felt it necessary to show something before the Sony event on Wednesday.
In the video of Geff Gerstmann's impressions, he suggested that it felt something had been canned at the last minute.
Logically it makes sense for two reasons:
- Showing next-generation footage acknowledges their existence (remember folks, they still don't officially exist)
- Showing a lot a current-generation footage days before the PS4 wouldn't make sense, as it would be lost in the noise

shite like that is why I stopped interviewing devs and going to PR stuff. They never want to to talk about games or show you stuff outside of concept art.

juding by halo 4 being worse then every halo before it in every way except visuals, I'm glad bungie jumped ship.
They seem to be more ambitious than Bungie. Halo 4 is decisive though, so depending on who you talk to Halo 4 is fantastic or somehow ruined the series. I'm in the former.
I'm guessing the reason for that is they want to make a big splash at the Durango event.

What are you talking about?
Somewhat true, but yes they absolutely officially exist. There have been confirmed devkits in studios for months. That's as official as it needs to be.

Ouch lol
Oh fuck this industry. Laughable.
I don't know why anyone would be surprised that it looks worse than Halo 4. Hoping the next-gen version is worth the hype.

Same as me.
But why?
Ouch lol
Ice cold! I would probably feel the same. I bet most of the press there were even more frustrated with this reveal then we are.
Funny thing is, it might not have been planed like this. Jeff Gerstman mentions in his video that he talked to some Bungie folks during a break and the conversation went something like this:
Bungie employee: "So what do you think?"
Jeff: "The concept art is really cool, and sounds really ambitious. Would have liked to see the game."
Bungie employee: "Wait, they are not showing you the game?"
damn lol
Ouch lol

We already had that, since 2003. It's called EVE Online.

Well I expected a game that gives you most of the content with initial cost and a few unlockables with just a few extras you can pay for but are not neccessary.
The feeling I'm getting is that you need to pay for different chapters of the game, different weapons and upgrades. Lot's of Dlc, locked content, etc.
corporate shill
Now for Activison obviously. Funny how he forgets to mention it is multi-format too;p
Halo Reach made me feel like I'd never be interested in Halo ever again, Bungie is great at making people feel apathetic, hell, they just did that today.
I love what I've played of Halo 4 (admittedly, not finished it) but it never struck me as remotely ambitious.
The multiplayer in fact felt the exact opposite.
Ouch lol
I wish he was this honest about it in his Rev3 Games video

This is exactly what I am afraid of.

Do you expect him to post the PS3 link?
HAHAHAHA people were really saying this?
reminds me of all those jokers who were going on about the Wii U had a soft launch

My bet is that they didn't want gamers to link the product specifically with the PS4. This way they remind everyone that there are 360 and PS3 versions of the game. Then they can be a small part of the PS4 unveiling on Weds, the Durango unveiling in Spring, then have hands on demos of next/current gen versions of the game at E3.

Did it bother anyone else that they just chose a different arachnid for the tanks?
Scorpion Tank ---> Spider Tank
Try a different direction, Bungie!

How about some gameplay?
He works for MS, what the fuck do you expect him to do? Hes sole purpose there is to sell the Xbox brand and games, thats it, hes not suppose to be some objective journalist.
So the question is, why they felt it was necessary at the risk of looking half assed? Maybe MS pressured them somehow?

I can't help but feel this announcement was a bit too premature. Almost like Bungie didn't really want to reveal at this stage in development.
Hm. I was excited after watching the ViDoc but coming here really deflated my mood. Ah well. Here's to hopefully having a PC release?

Bungie fucked up by hyping this thing up like it was going to be a huge blowout, if they'd indicated it was 'A first glimpse into the Universe we're creating' or something I think that would have been just fine.

Reading Destructoid preview it sounds we won't see the game until late 2014...a major current gen release on late 2014?
Next gen versions better be something special.
The concept does look sounds ambitious but right now is just a lot of promises, artworks that looks good and underwhelming in-game footage.

I never followed his work as a television personality, but since he was unceremoniously fired my impression has been that he's decided "fuck the system, the man is ghey".
My general impression was that Bungie was planning on showing more but the PlayStation Meeting took them by surprise and they were told to withhold information for the event. I know from reading Jeff's Tumblr that the Bungie event was in the works before the PS Meeting was announced.
I don't know what you're so upset about.
Ouch lol
Just what we saw. Nothing.
Game will be awesome, here is concept art. Game is awesome here is 2 sec gameplay which show nothing. Game will be awesome !
Why would he mention its multiplat. Its not like he secretly works for Microsoft...

Ubisoft and LucasArts didn't seem to have problems showing off Watch Dogs/ SW1313.
Yeah. I can't say I'm excited about this.
I hear about their plans for this 'shared world' and it reminds me of the huge DLC plans they have (according to the leaked contracts) including allusions to micro-transaction and virtual currency.
It's just a huge turn-off.
It's early, so we'll see.
I'd say the biggest strides were towards the concept of Spartan Ops and changing up the multiplayer formula drastically.
The most valid complaints about Halo 4 are the technical ones, I can't join a spartan ops game online without a shit ton of lag for example, some things definitely have to be fixed.
Opus Angelorum

Definitely possible.
We've all seen the contract, and Jeff Gerstmann said someone from Bungie confirmed it's validity (although it had been amended).
If Destiny is to be shown at the Sony event, it would make perfect sense to reveal it beforehand to appease Microsoft.
This is Bungie, there is a lot of history.

Isn't that technically PC footage?
