This is my second-most anticipated game, right after inFAMOUS: Second Son :)

MysticStrummer3962d ago

After seeing that demo of the gameplay, Second Son has jumped way up on my list also.

I liked what i saw at E3. I'd like to see more but regardless i'll be picking it up from just what they showed me.

TronEOL3962d ago

I think one of the greatest things about this game is that the PlayStation and Xbox fans who used to get into heated arguments about Halo can instead both talk about their enjoyment with Destiny, regardless of what platform they play on.

bobtheimpaler3962d ago

I played halo from start to finish on PC and just didn't understand the hype. I was very sceptical with Destiny. When they first showed it off earlier this year. People were getting excited over nothing.

E3 has made me a believer though. Destiny looks like a lot of fun and I will pick it up along with Knack, Killzone and driveclub.

MysticStrummer3962d ago

I think by "impatience" they mean "attention span".

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

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.

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.

MIDGETonSTILTS1729d 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)
