How on Earth is this NOT coming out this year?
They have done absolutely NOTHING since Reach went gold. I'm incredibly interested in the game, and it looks to be extremely promising as a concept, but what the hell guys.

Yeah, it even has guns and colours! Pfft, you won't fool me Bungle.
Xbox Infinity?
So all the "Windows 8, Loop, Infinity" stuff was right all along. Great, Xbox Infinity always was my favorite name.
D'uh! Thread moves too fast.

Aye! he did..
Aliens: Colonial Marines seems to indicate it would probably be better to avoid showing footage until the game is close to done.

To get some standalone media attention without the coverage having to contend with all the other stuff about the PS4 reveal & the other games that will be shown there?
I believe this is fake.

Even if they say it will it'll probably get delayed anyway.

"hovering masses in the sky" aren't exactly fresh ideas. Then again, what is in this day and age? The Sci-Fi and Fantasy genres are saturated with common tropes and ideas.
What matters is how original you can make something unoriginal, if that makes sense. Though that doesn't make me any less interested.

I know a lot of people are disappointed due to how sparse the details are, but I'm genuinely excited. This concept sounds awesome, I love the artwork and music, and I think Bungie will do to co-op what they originally did for MP play on the original Xbox. I get the same feeling for this title that I did with Halo 1.
I've been waiting for an MMOFPS blockbuster title all gen and it looks like Bungie is going to deliver here.
ALSO - I do not think the timing of this announcement is just a coincidence, being mere days before the PS4 reveal. Bungie hardly showed any footage, but managed to get people intrigued and excited. I expect Bungie to be at the PS4 announcement showing off the game in the best possible light (i.e., next-gen), launching for the PS4 (no exclusive for the 720). Would be a MEGATON announcement, IMHO, and I think that's what happened.
I guess we'll see on Wednesday.

Helmets remind me of Infinity Blade II
Probably them holding off until next-gen consoles get announced. As soon as the 72 version gets shown and dated, the 360 version becomes obsolete. Well, for me it does.
I love the idea and it will be great to see Bungie take on something bigger than Halo but its next-gen or bust really. Launch title would be perfect.

Lol, I'm not buying any 360 games in 2014.
Hey Goat! I've seen you on Bungie's forums sometimes.
But yeah, I concur. We're obviously just joking

That would sound a bit too similar to Comcast's "Xfinity".
Not that anyone cares about Comcast.
I think on the next-gen version it would be possible in a real-time sense.

I totally understand, and it's fun to sorta spot similarities like a treasure hunt.

catching up - is there any reason to expect to see this at the ps4 event other then speculation? looks waaaay too early - but maybe the next gen stuff is more far along?
the very definition of a placeholder date, lol

This is pure BS. They could have shown PC footage without revealing next-gen consoles.

Not going to happen. Every platform will be on their own.

Yea Amazon needs a temp date to collect pre orders.
I believe amazon use that date when they don't know a real release date (?)

Lol, poor Pachter always gets shit wrong. I remember him saying he expected Activision/Bungie to charge a subscription fee for the multiplayer side of Destiny.

Activision have said (off the record) that they don't expect it to be part of 2013 financials.
If that's the case, expect a Q2 2014 at the earliest.
Some guesses:
1. It's an ambitious project
2. They're taking their time to get it right
3. They're sitting on a mountain of gold, so they can do 1 and 2
At least we know the games gonna be awesome.
As they should be, don't invite people to an event to say little on anything and just be vague.Sounds like the press isn't happy:

The entire press event and reveal seems to have handled very poorly. I do have to wonder what's going on at Bungie and why Activision allowed them to do this.
They might not show anything, but simply having bungie up on a Sony stage stating that their new game will be out on ps4 would be good news for Sony I think.

As Jeff says, that feels like something got pulled, for whatever reason.

It's pretty ridiculous that people got on a plain to get to Seattle and all they showed was Powerpoint crap.
C'mon...

Because Bungie definitely came up for the idea for the game they've been working on for the last 5-6 years from Halo 4's development at 343 lol.
Sounds like the press isn't happy:
Jeff Gerstmann said that other Bungie employees (who weren't part of the presentation) came up to him afterwards and were shcoked when he told them that they didn't show a lot of the game......He said he got a distinct sense that more was initially planned for the event, but got cancelled last minute....He also said that he thinks they might be making at appearance at Sony's event on Wednesday, which might explain why they held back.
Sounds like the press isn't happy:
Wow. But yeah, seeing a lot of stuff out of press people that you wouldn't usually see publicly. Not leaving fantastic first impressions here.

Since Bungie's building the solar system, scale 4.5 billion years down into a console development cycle and we'll have a good idea of the timeframe
