Arai3992d ago (Edited 3992d ago )

There's this though, which could be a mistake/accident on their part.

Nice finds. Yeah i was hoping for it yo be on vita but e3 just sounds so epic. Cant wait for e3 but thanx for the info. Cheers mate.

WolfRamiO3991d ago

that can be a standar script to show games

Snookies123992d ago

Didn't really see how it could be true. I love my Vita, and it's a powerful machine, but a game of this scale on it just wouldn't work. Unless people were saying it was a spin-off or something. Regardless, that was shot down pretty quickly lol.

Soldierone3992d ago

Why not just get more games like Need For Speed? Same game, just visually held back a bit.

Visuals don't mean everyhing, and if your game turns to crap because of that then it wasn't a good game to begin with.

Snookies123992d ago (Edited 3992d ago )

I'm okay with cutting back visuals, but with a game like this, it seems like its scope is rather large. I just don't see it working on the Vita, as great a system as it is. People have to understand, it's not a console. It's a portable, just because it can play games that are also on console doesn't mean it can perform like them and shouldn't be expected to.

ps3vita4life3992d ago

I knew it! Sony filed a trademark for the name, Destiny of Spirits about a month ago so it would be impossible (highly unlikely) for Bungie/Activision to be involved with the title.

Killzoner993992d ago

Wow , Bungie really dropped the ball with this. I don't think they understand how much the Vita would boost sales for this game. Especially with PS4 connectivity . They could have dominated the market. Plus this really makes Bungie look bad with the recent talks of a Vita version. It's not good to piss on your fans expectations.

BlaqMagiq243992d ago

Umm you do realize Destiny could be played on Vita through PS4's Remote Play right? There you go. You now have Destiny on Vita. And Bungie never talked about a Vita version.

Get your facts straight.

Kietz3992d ago

"Vita"
"dominated market"

*snicker*

The thing isn't doing too well for itself as a system, yet it is going to help skyrocket sales for a game just because it is on it.

Knight_Crawler3992d ago

Shhh...some people cannot handle the truth.

It would be more profitable for Bungie to release a half arsed Destiny on the 3DS than a dying VITA.

WolfRamiO3991d ago

Vita is not dying, is growing slowy to be the winner!

Bungie Replaces Marathon Director Amid Leadership Shakeup, Fears of Layoffs

Amid ongoing anxiety within Bungie following layoffs last year, the studio is now preparing for another shakeup, this time on Marathon.

Kaii30d ago

Layoffs should be hitting the incompetent management at this point.

Profchaos30d ago

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

Rynxie30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Are you serious? Do you just talk out of your arse naturally, or did it take years of being a POS?

Profchaos30d ago

You normally get so offended by internet comments or did it take years of being soft

purple10130d ago (Edited 30d ago )

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

Huey_My_D_Long30d ago

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.

MIDGETonSTILTS1730d ago

Arrowhead Studios will be Sony’s GaaS consult now.

Gameseeker_Frampt30d ago

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.

-Foxtrot30d ago

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.

MIDGETonSTILTS1730d ago

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

ChasterMies30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Worked very well for Microsoft. Microsoft’s mistake was letting Bungie go.

Fearmonkey29d ago

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..

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.

DickyD122678d ago

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)
