gaming Destiny: Bungies brave new world

[Mr Dash 1,820]

So earlier today, Bungie officially took the wraps off of it's latest IP. The game they are working on with Activision as the publisher. The game is simply titled: Destiny.

What are everyone's impressions of what Bungie has revealed so far? Are you interested in their new IP?

 

I have been waiting for official news of this game since they finished with Halo: Reach. I am personally excited for this game and can't wait for more information. Most likely we will see more, and possibly gameplay footage, at E3. I am much more interested now that I know about what they are trying to do with this game. I just hope it gets pulled off correctly, but I have faith in Bungie. They are a more than capable studio.

 

 

Destiny awaits.....Per Audacia Ad Astra.

The Fallen look freaking awesome!!! I think this game is going to be down right fantastic. Perhaps jump start a new genre of games. I'm SUPER excited.

I hope that this come out as an MMOFPS, it looks quite good and the little interactive features, such as the apps, look cool. I'll probably be getting it if its a PC release, I just hope that it's good.

It's multi-platform, so a PC release don't seem to far-fetched.

 

As for the game itself, it looks amazing. Seems like they're departing from the character-driven linear stories of Halo in favor of more RPG-sque Open World (?) gameplay.

 

Also: Ship Combat.

 

Now it makes sense why they had the space-ship mission in Reach. Obviously they were testing the gameplay mechanics so they could use them here. Smart.

 

I'm excited.

I'm looking forward to it. I can also see some inspiration in there from their older works like Halo and Marathon. I can't wait to actually play this game!

I cannot wait for Destiny as the opening phone message states "My body is ready" 

 

Serious though I have 100% fate in Bungie every game they made whether story or multiplayer their games are great. Reach great story, multiplayer eh... But any way Bungie they are one of the only companies out there that I love greatly because what they do. Them deciding to make a new IP rather than keep pumping out Halo games; I love halo still but I would have been happy if H3 was the last one. 

 

They have the commitment, dedication and they listen to the fans. The reason I believe Reach was what it was because Bungie had to make two more games under Microsoft's  contract ODST great, and Reach again was eh. They didn't want to spend all this time dedicated to this game when they had a new IP they wanted to work on. 

 

I am already planning on pre- ordering this game because Bungie again is one of the few game developers who deserve the credit. And I am behind them 100%. Hell if they made a toaster with the Bungie emblem on it I might buy, I'm such a fangirl.

Some new footage and some new information from the PS4 announcement event held today. Still not a whole lot, but it is slowly trickling out. Also it will release on the next gen consoles as well as the current gen consoles.

I can't wait to get my hands on it. It looks so beautiful and more story driven which is always good. From what I have seen, which is not alot. I wonder if it will have competitive multiplayer. So far it looks more like Borderlands 4 player co-op. Knowing Bungie, its about to be some fun.

I was honestly a bit iffy about it. Halo Reach was not to great if you ask me. Definitely not a good game to end your current saga with.

 

But then i saw this, and the PS4 announcement trailer about it. It looks fantastic. I wouldn't be surprised if it's more of an open-world RPG-type game than a linear FPS. I'm excited to say the least.

To maybe persuade you about Reach. My knowledge as to why Reach was what it was, was because Bungie had to make two more Halo themed games, when they learned that they weren't going to have the IP, alot of there attention went to Destiny. Even though they should have still catered to Reach. I can see it as a middle finger to Microsoft, if that makes sense. It's no reason to not listen to the fans asking for improvement, but at that time I don't thing Microsoft was Banging on their door telling them to fix their shit.

Digging up this thread to post this here: http://www.gamespot.com/shows/gamespot-live/?event=bungies-brave-new-world-20130328&tag=Topslot;BraveNewWorldNewBungieIpLive;BraveNewWorldNewBung

 

Bungie will be talking about Destiny and perhaps some other stuff in this live broadcast. I'm sure if you don't want to watch it at Gamespot, other sites will have a live stream as well. The stream begins at 6pm CST. There is a countdown on the stream in the link.

 

There will probably not be any trailers or new information regarding Destiny. It looks more like an insiders look at the process of making Destiny. If you are interested, feel free to check it out.

 

Another update: I believe that the next issue of Game Informer, the May issue, will be featuring Destiny with all new information and screenshots. I could be wrong though.
