This games looks identical to Halo 4. Seriously did 343i make this game? Looked like I was going back to Requiem.

These people can't be serious, right?
I of course read replies, I just caught up on them, my Internet connection has been super wonky. And I normally don't like being a shill for anything, but alas, friendship requires you to do things you may not like to.. I also should have done my research before posting it. I take responsibility for that. Apologies.

Pretty much my thoughts. Also that art is amazing. Some of the in-motion scenes looked great too, only one or two that looked so-so.
A brand new universe from Bungie is super exciting, and I like what I see so far.

Maybe they think all sci-fi looks alike.
I definitely think it looks different enough from the Halo series, but I'm really not as excited by the big reveal as I thought I would be.

The Traveler reminds me of Cocoon in Final Fantasy XIII.

I've never been a fan of Halo, so I don't have any hype for this game. It looks well made and all, but one thing I find kind of funny is how the guns look like the guns we have today. If this is some crazy future or alien scenario, why do the guns look pretty much the way they do now? Shouldn't they have some sort of miniaturized energy weapon technology or something? It's like they have to include guns because their demographic is obsessed with guns.
It never was. Still, Halo 4 was #3-#5 best selling game of 2013 on multiple markets, it's pretty huge for itself.
Well, you should definitely tell your friend about how that part of the source code works, so he can fix the article, unless of course he likes getting hits based on inaccuracies! (I would hope not!)

So.
You can go to different planets, right? Is space a playable area?

The promise of out of "earth" exploration/travel has me more excited than anything. Even if they can't fully deliver it, it is still nice to have in some form. More games need that!

One of the biggest issue with how little was actually revealed today was that most of the big bullet points were already covered via leaked info in the past. Mix that with the press not really going hands on at all and it just kinda feels like a let down. Hopefully they have more soon, maybe some gameplay shots, because we know nothing about how it plays other than it being a FPS.
for something that's only released on one system , xbox, its done pretty well.. Imagine if it were allowed to go to PC/PS/etc ... ... ahhh "destiny"
Whatever it's called. It looks like it

I definitely will do. Thanks for all the info. We definitely don't want to propagate misinformation.

This looks cool at least. The art is simply stunning and the scale is pretty evident in the short clips shown. I am interested...

with the way things have been going i think microsoft let bungie go not bungie left microsoft. i dunno just how things have been going i get a vibe that ms didnt want bungie anymore
But the 360 is deader the dirt the minute the 720 hits.
What makes you say that? Bungie felt they'd make more money selling to multiple install bases and were probably bored being tied to the Halo franchise.

I like the idea of the customisable space ship. One of my favourite things about the Mass Effect games was watching the Normandy grow.
Halo 4 uses the Reach engine, Destiny of course also includes stuff learned when programming the Reach engine.
If only we knew the truth and would not need to make assumptions based on personal preference of games and studios.

not sure if anyone noticed but it mentions infinity in the vidoc (rumored next xbox name ) is this just a coincidence ? or ms being subtle ?
Who says that's what i was basing it on? Would you want to be stuck looking at nothing but Halo for an entire decade, every working day of your life?

I do wish that as a reveal of a game, they had used some game engine assets to unveil it. Those early Halo teasers always end up biting them on the ass a little because the final game often varied wildly from what was shown, but it's respectable that they went to that level; this, they're showing just art and it's a bit of a letdown after years of knowledge of the project, tons of leaks, and a good amount of lead-up to this reveal. I can respect a teaser campaign (lots of people gripe when the tease shows no gameplay, but even that has its place in the build-up plus here at least they talked about gameplay unlike something totally misleading like the awesome-but-unfair Dead Island teaser,) but a little bit of engine showcase would have gone a long way.
If they were tired working on it for a decade, why are they doing the same thing now? Having a contract for 10 years working on the same franchise?
The circumstances are very different.
I know but is this knowledge that Bungie were "tired" of working with MS and the Halo franchise?

Anyone post Dan Amrich's (OXM, Activision social media manager) 3,700 word expose?

Bungie was far more constrained under MS. They wanted more creative freedom, and more ownership rights over their own IP. With this project, that's what they have. So a 10 year contract under these current circumstances works out just fine for them. Otherwise they wouldn't have agreed to the terms and made the contract.

I am a bit confused as to what the game is actually trying to be. Need to see more of the world and understand how the game exactly works.
If this basically a MMOFPS? Or more like a Diablo 2 type implementation for a FPS (solo, co-op, always online and in this case multiplayer?)

From what I've heard so far, it's FAR FAR more ambitious than Borderlands.
PSO 4.0 more likely.
Since the Moon, Mars and Earth City hub are labeled as visitable locations- I'm guessing so. Now Venus hinted too.
