Eskimo Press: There has been a lot of speculation about what Destiny, Bungie's first game post-halo, will be like. Bungie is finally ready to start shedding some light on their new ambitious project. In a new video feature, Bungie talks about their new mysterious universe that is sure to deliver plenty of action and adventure. After creating the Halo universe, and developing most of the games in the series, it's no understatement that many have high expectations for this new multi-platform game. With Halo in the hands of new developer 343 industries, Destiny and Halo will inevitably be compared to each other, and in direct competition.
Bungie - "Join our development team to see the new updates arriving with Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Releasing on June 4, 2024."
Amid ongoing anxiety within Bungie following layoffs last year, the studio is now preparing for another shakeup, this time on Marathon.
Talk about mismanaged Bungie is a studio of tremendous potential and have made some of the greatest shooters to date. Sony pushed them to just make another Destiny style game and consult on other studios live service games and are now getting thrown under a bus as the pivot away from predominantly gaas games is unfolding.
I'd love to see a world where Bungie can focus on telling great sci fi stories again away from a live service dungeon but we all know that's a pipe dream
Are you serious? Do you just talk out of your arse naturally, or did it take years of being a POS?
You normally get so offended by internet comments or did it take years of being soft
Yes I see your point mate, someone clearly didn’t read the article.
Specifically the bit:
“Notably, multiple sources at the time and since have shared that Sony has largely left the studio to sort out its own troubles and was not responsible for the layoffs, with CEO Pete Parsons taking responsibility.“
He’s just spouting nonsense
lol what so fucking hilarious is that you called him out so bad he projected him being offended onto you.
Its been well documented that Bungie's management has been more responsible for their shortfalls, even mentioned in said article that we are commenting on.
Its ok, just admit you didn't read the article.
I like how for some, it is never Bungie's fault. Microsoft, Activision, and now Sony - it is everyone else who is pushing Bungie to make all these bad decisions.
Thrown under the bus?
Are you joking? This is all Bungie, we all thought it was 100% Activision but it's clear the higher ups at Bungie don't have a clue how to run the studio and are more bothered about saving their own skin and the money that they rake in.
Sony gave them an extra $1.2 Billion to make sure that employees didn't leave and they didn't have to cut anyones jobs. Where did that money go because Bungie still cut peoples jobs and I bet you the higher management still kept a hold of their big fact paychecks and bonuses.
Sony invested poorly in this and the best thing they can do now is throw the old Bungie management out and take hold of the studio fully.
Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Somebody at Bungie is the golden goose making great shooting mechanics, and the rest need to justify their paychecks.
This studio has had three owners and its never worked well with any of them....Management has issues
Worked very well for Microsoft. Microsoft’s mistake was letting Bungie go.
it worked so well with MS that they so wanted to be away from them they bought the company back. Only to do it again with activision-blizzard, and then sold to Sony...Sony shouldn't have bought them...Bungie hasnt been the same for a long time..
Destiny 2’s game director Joe Blackburn is stepping down ahead of The Final Shape, leaving Tyson Green to take the reins of the PS5 and Xbox FPS.
As someone who bought every story DLC for DESTINY 2 but not every season. the first thing I would do as game director is , if anybody pre-orders The ?Final Shape , they will be able to play all older DLC and seasons with purchase of FINAL SHAPE. . I think that would bring back a lot of DESTINY 2 plsyers who have not experienced the seasons a chance to play season activities before Final Shape comes out.
I agree but I was just able to get all dlcs for 50 on steam. (Have it on PlayStation but don't always have access to the TV)
There will be no competition between a new multiplatform game and an exclusive most of Xbox owners rely on, that makes no sense. Halo fans will keep playing Halo, and that won't prevent them from playing Destiny as well.
I disagree. If the game holds its own, and is all that it is promised to be I'm sure that a lot of gamers, Halo fans even, will migrate over to Destiny.
There are a lot less people playing Medal of Honor: Warfighter than there are people playing Black Ops 2. Because it's better....
I think that they will be in competition, since they're both first person shooters set in a sci-fi world that tells the story of humanity's fight to stay alive. With the Halo series getting lazy with innovation, I think that many Halo fans might abandon the series in favor of Bungie's new exploits
@Sako
With the Halo series getting lazy with innovation. Please tell how so.
Halo fans might abandon the series in favour of Bungie's new exploits . why & how did u come to this conclusion.
@Sako just wanted more insight to your outlook.
I think Halo was great just think 343 did not want to stray to far from what players know & like about halo or get carried away. I do believe they will add some never before seen ideas or concepts to try & make Halo 5 theirs.
As for the halo/bungie fans they will support both, no matter the issue.
Nope.
