Bungie Talks About Destiny

Over the next ten years?

Damn.

@gesi1223: I think you misinterpreted what he meant by "bigger." He meant in terms of scale, not sales.

We're making something totally new and different!

*insert footage of first person shooter with sci-fi soldiers in space armor with guns*

hmmm.....

If Mary's sweet music is there I'll be there!

Is this narrator the same guy from Crack Down?

I don't have time for persistent online multiplayer games. I'm interested in seeing how this all pans out, though. It does seem very ambitious.

I'm in man. I could go for some more big blockbuster sci-fi in my games to fill the Mass Effect gap.

Could be great, probably okay, but this whole video presentation is too much intellectual masturbation.

Music is fantastic for sure. Would have liked to have seen some gameplay though.

at least we got to see all the great concept art players will be unlocking in the game.

Was always mystified by the adoration the Halo series got.

Equally mystified by the attention this is getting.

Sounds like it could be really interesting. Color me excited.

...this seems a lot like Halo.

This voiceover is also fucking horrendous. This really does not inspire my interest... at all.

I wonder if this could signal the new consoles will be out this Holiday? I would't think they would release on current ones if they couldn't get on both new and old hardware. Of course, pull a DVD/Blu-ray "uber extra mega special edition" and release on this gen and then an "enhanced version" on next gen to get two sales (they would hope).

From what have been shown so far it looks very generic and empty, also some of those developers might want to tone down the confidence a bit.

Not a ton to see in this video, but it's a sci-fi game from the guys who made Halo so I'm excited to see more.

the parts that are suppose to look real seem terrible, I'm fine with sci-fi shooter. Its all the crap they try to put ontop of the game that I'm more worried about.

I'm curious. Still not sold on whether or not Bungie can create a game to suck me in, since I -hate- Halo. We'll see though.

Sarcastic pessimism abound here. I'm very interested. The concept and backstory seem cool, and SOMEONE has to do something with the shooter to bring it into the next generation.

Building on MMO concepts without a monthly fee, likely new content and a game that evolves over time, easy drop-in drop-out multiplayer ala Journey, multiplatform interaction including iOS devices, etc. All ideas that have often failed or been executed half-heartedly, but have shown promise and can expect to be big parts of the new consoles. Combine them with Bungie's talents from Halo, and I'm in.

Getting a bit of an "Avatar" vibe from the marketing, with the super serious music and the general tone of "This is the BIGGEST. FUCKING. DEAL. EVER."

Did anyone else see the "My body is ready," text? I don't know what to say about that.

Didn't know Reggie was playing this.

The amount of hate this game is already generating is staggering.

I'm pretty excited for it myself.

Cautiously optimistic.

Getting some minor Halo mixed with Gurren Lagann vibes from this. That could be OK.

@wandrecanada: I do. I was immediately less interested. If you're trying to get my to buy something, avoid

• "My body is ready,"
• "Epic ______" where the blank is anything other than "Games,"and represents the name of your studio
• "Feels," or
• "This."

Talk to me like a fucking adult, not a child who can only communicate in worn-out forum-speak. At least pretend you think I'm an intelligent consumer who can make decisions without you pandering to me or the target demo you associate with me.

In other news, consider me among the chorus of those unimpressed so far. Show me some game footage or be definitive in your plans. I'm not writing it off, by any means, but I'm not super-interested yet either.

Well, this was rather disappointing.

@rincewind: Article on RPS today claims they won't release on pc because "We made the game run without a mouse and keyboard. And now nobody plays shooters the way they used to play them before Halo ’cause nobody wants to.”

wait....so bungie invites basically all of the gaming press, and they dont even show the game?

Man, the negativity in here is bumming me out. I for one think this looks like it could be pretty damn cool. I could turn out to be wrong, but I think the ambition it sounds like this game is bringing to the table is very exciting. The shooting and sci-fi may be familiar but the overarching game concepts sound very interesting.

WOW no.

"How can anything be bigger then Halo?"

Get over yourself, Bungie. I can't stand it when creators sprout out lines such as this.

Humans that existed long before current humans? Sounds like something else Bungie has made...

"My body is ready"

...Destiny confirmed for WiiU...

naaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So...This is the spiritual re-incarnation of Huxley?

Interesting to say the least. Come on Bungie I want to see more... and a PC version.

This story of the sphere really has me intrigued

This game looks like a great endeavor. However, I fail to see how this game will run on anything that isn't the next generation of hardware. It all seems to big and complex to run on a 360 or PS3. Also I understand that what they showed is early but it didn't look graphically pleasing like a next gen game should be.

Yawn. Bungie should start caring about the PC, but they never will. Much like Gearbox, they've become a company I could care less about (and do!) because of their actions and attitudes towards PC players.

"Nobody wants to play PC games with a mouse and keyboard"? Is that so, Bungie? Hahaha you dopes.

LOL they are deleting everyone's comments, must be new site policy, if you arent a blind naive fanboy of the site you get banned

your mic failed to work over 10 times during this video

If those species were looking for the last of the human race to kill why didn't they look under the giant moon ship instead out in the jungle? Or maybe in the city they're rebuilding?

You have sniper rifle, assault rifle, shotgun etc. everything else is window dressing.

...you aren't even commenting on the right video.

@swick: Mass Effect didn't have a very original story, so that isn't necessarily saying much.

I think they meant for Bungie. Not in gaming

I think they meant for Bungie. Not in gaming

Looks more Star Wars-y than Halo-y.

Worst vidoc that Bungie has ever put out. So lifeless and forced that it makes me think these guys don't want to make games anymore or something.
