TheMightyEthan Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Bungie's new project: http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/21/activision-bungie-contract-reveals-four-game-plan-code-named-de/The reason I'm posting it here is because I'm wondering if the timed Xbox exclusivity is some remnant of Bungie's deal with MS, or just that they're more familiar with the 360.

Waldorf and Statler Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'm thinking more along the lines of MS offering a sizable amount of money to have it exclusive, even if it's timed exclusive, in fear Sony might take this chance to make it a timed exclusive for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 It's just a thing MS do. See a large chunk of multi-platform DLC. There's also word there's still contractual obligations Bungie have to MS. While Bungie have mainly 360 experience I can't see Activision making it a choice to be 360-exclusive when they can always hire on PS3/PC devs. Â That whole 90% review rating for the bonuses is kinda stupid. It's a stupid system, but even stupider to reveal it to you know..the folks rating your games. Cos now there's the "well if you give them less than 90% rating you're cutting off their bonus".

Mal Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Â A concept image. Its giving me a Killzone (Heavy, strong) feel, which I like. I think there might be more stuff but I can't confirm if those are real. This image is from Bungie themselves. Edit: Imgur link.

Mercurial Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I was thinking more Lost Planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Was trying to think of Lost Planet but yeah: Killzone/Lost Planet like. Â Jist of the background story: Humanity is in decline and we're pretty much stuck in one mega city. Then for whatever reason aliens start to have interest in us. Also its a MMOFPS of some sort so... I'm not sure how to think about that. Got to wait for more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-17-destiny-bungie-unveils-its-shared-world-shooter  Seems a good enough write-up. Also shifting this from Xbox to Multi-plat.  Always Online on a console could end up being a a bit of a killer for it. I've only had a light skim up to now though (kinda lengthy article). Got things to do and it's not exactly a game that I'm hyped for like some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Well if the always-online rumors about the 720 prove true then at least on that platform it won't hinder this game especially (I know it's only been announced for PS360, but I'm going to assume it'll be one of those console-generation-straddling games).

toxicitizen Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Unless I'm missing something, this sounds very much like a multiplayer-only deal. Doesn't seem to be any mention of a single-player campaign. So how exactly is always-online something that could work against the game? That's pretty much a requirement for all multiplayer games.

toxicitizen Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I see. But still, kinda sounds like you'd be playing single-player the same way you can technically play WoW solo. They make the game sound very MMO-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Yeah, that might be the case. Â We'll have to wait and see, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Either ways I'm fucking excited. This is my last year with xbox live before I cancel all relationships with MS and their money grubbing hands. Might as well go out with a bang.

toxicitizen Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Apparently, no one wants to play shooters with mouse and keyboard anymore. Sure glad someone told me because I guess I was playing an entire genre wrong.   http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/02/17/destiny-not-coming-to-pc-bungie-deny-reality/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Heart Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 One thing that confuses me: they are talking about having content and keeping it exciting for the next ten years...so why the fuck is it not on PC? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I figured that 10 year thing was more about the IP than a single game. I can't imagine them seriously thinking they can make a single game live that long. Especially if it's only on consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 It's never been attempted before, give them a chance. No need to be snarky about the no PC thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 No game has been supported for 10 years before? And on PC? Straight off the top of my head there's Final Fantasy XI. Probably a few others on top of that, I think Gaia Online hit ten the other day, and Kingdom of Loathing.  On the PC front of things would be much better for them if they'd just said "We couldn't be bothered to make a PC port for reasons". And let folks move from there instead of saying what he did say and being relatively largely wrong and giving folks a lot of things to pick on and bring up over the years against them (especially when the inevitable PC port comes, cos yeah 10 year game it's coming out on PC.). Especially not announcing a PC release at the same time as announcing a 10 year game for two very quickly about to die consoles like one of them is going to officially become last-gen in like two days time how did they not know to not announce anything until E3 what the hell Bungie.

Â I wasn't trying to be snarky. 10 years is a long time. Much longer than any console generation's ever lasted. That's why it seems kind of weird to me. And like Dean said, they're releasing it for consoles that will be obsolete before the year's end. Â As for it not coming to PC, I'm not too bothered. So far, what little information they've shared makes the game sound like it won't really be my thing. I'm really more a single-player guy.

Waldorf and Statler Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) I'm a single player guy as well. But I wasn't much of a shooter guy until Halo came along so I'm willing to hear them out. Â edit: and by the it's never been attempted before I meant an MMO-esque shooter. But thinking about it there was one that failed (can't remember its name) and another one that was never released (was supposed to come out from some korean studio for 360).

toxicitizen Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Oh, yeah, that failed pretty hard. Wasn't that more of a Diablo-like action-rpg, though? Edited February 18, 2013 by FLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-17-destiny-requires-an-internet-connection-to-work   On the possibility of a PC version, Parsons said: "We would absolutely love to be on the PC. If you talk to the people upstairs, we play it on all platforms. So, stay tuned." No mention was made of a Wii U version.  That's Bungie COO Pete Parsons.  Methinks that quote on RPS was taken out of context, and when Jones said no one plays them like that anymore he was talking about the limited weapons, regenerating health, etc, not PC as a platform.
