toxicitizen Posted February 18, 2013 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.  Well to be fair, RPS did post the quote in its entirety and he didn't say exactly that. But it still seems like a pretty damn stupid and kind of arrogant thing to say. Halo did change FPS conventions in a big way but hardly all of it was good. For example, regenerating health and limiting the amount of guns you can carry both come to mind as things people generally tend to dislike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I think a lot of people dislike them, but I'd disagree with "generally". Â I think most people prefer regenerating health, I know I do, they're just not as vocal about it as the people who dislike it. Â As for multiple weapons, I'd guess that most people who feel anything at all about it would agree it's better to have more, but that most people overall just don't care. Â I know that even in games that let you have a bunch of weapons at once I always end up using one or two anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 It depends on what the game is built for. Some games, Dead Space 3 for example, benefit from the health pack system, it adds to the sense of being underpowered when you can run out of health, which is what the game relies on for tension. On the other hand, games like Halo are power fantasies, where you are some sort of unstoppable bad-ass. That lends itself more to regenerating health. You charge in, kick some butt, catch your breath and charge in again. Â Same goes for weapon choice to an extent. If your game is essentially gun porn, or, there are a variety of enemies with certain strengths / weaknesses, then you ought to allow the player to go armed to the teeth. On the other hand, if you're more about creating a "realistic" game, then you have to have certain limits to the amount a player can carry. Â Neither design is inherently bad (or good). It's all in the implementation. Â In other news, I only just today realised this is a multiplatform title. Cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I know it's confirmed for 360 and PS3 but didn't they mention it's also for "next-gen devices" or something of that sort? Having a game like this might be enough of an incentive to get a next-gen console early on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Activision says it's not coming out in 2013. Â That pretty much confirms that it's on next-gen consoles, AFAIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Live action/CGI trailers only do it for me if I'm invested in the world. If it's a game I know not too much about I can't say much besides meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I like it, but maybe because I like the character designs. Â OR MAYBE I LIKE ROBOT-LIKE COOL DUDES WITH CLOAKS?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 My impression is that this will be like a less-zany Borderlands, without the focus on ridiculously fun bizarro weapons,and with a stronger MMO-like multiplayer component.  Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Handy little catch-up video for people like me who haven't really been paying close attention. Â Decent amount of enemy variety, and I do love me some co-op shootytimes, especially when it comes to Bungie games. Plus, even if it doesn't come to PC, Microsoft have made it a lot easier for me to decide which next-gen console I would buy otherwise.

TheMightyEthan Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Okay, I hadn't really been following Destiny, but now I'm fuckin stoked. Â Also, it bugged the shit out of me how he kept saying "showen" for "shown". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I was interested before but now I'm hyped as well. I was dreading the thought that I wouldn't get to enjoy the game with my friends since they were most likely to get it for the PS4 and I'm not planning to get it till early 2014 at the earliest, but then I remembered the game isn't scheduled to come out till 2014 and I sighed in relief. This means I can play it with them. These past few years I've been ignoring multiplayer games a large part due to them playing on their PS3 while I'm the only one on 360.

CorgiShinobi Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Opposite problem for me: Most had 360s, a few on PC, and I was on PS3. Borderlands 2 could have been even better if I had a friend play co-op. Â I've become very excited for Destiny, though maybe not hyped since there's not quite enough known yet. E3 should change that, but for now I'm thinking if I get this on PS4, I'll have a lot more friends there than on Xbox One. Â (Or they might stay on 360...)

Waldorf and Statler Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I think most big gamers, assuming they have the income, will change by mid-2014. And I believe this game is slated Q2 2014 though don't quote me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Catching up on gameplay videos. Wasn't too fussed about this but then it got to the last part and I was reminded of Scarabs and Hornets and Warthogs (oh my!) and huge scale battles like that and I got excited.

Mister Jack Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I'm down unless there's a subscription fee. Â No matter how good a game is I can't ever justify paying by the month to play it, since there's no way I'm gonna be playing it that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I like the placeholder art better too. Â At least the final art isn't aggressively bad like some games though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
