Destiny is the game to see--rest I don't care about.

MizTv3902d ago

I agree but knowing them it will be cod cod cod

Whore_Mouth3898d ago

Unfortunately, you may be correct.

BigShotSmoov0073902d ago

I think they going to promote the hell out of destiny also cause thats there next big thing. They have to know the COD is going to start to slow down and Destiny is there next big franchise for the next 10 years. So I'm sure we'll see and hear alot about Destiny.

ForgivenZombie3902d ago

Activision really needs some new IP's, the only one I want is DESTINY.

ForgivenZombie3902d ago

I hope they don't do to DESTINY like they have COD, that would piss me off.

TheFutureIsBlue3902d ago

I'm hoping Bungie doesn't get pushed around with Destiny.

ForgivenZombie3902d ago

Hopefully Bungie stands up to Activision like they did Microsoft and stay true to their vision for Destiny.

Whore_Mouth3898d ago

As a long time Bungie forum goer, I will say that on many occasion, they have stated how much their independence means to them. Hopefully they mean it, and have stayed true to their own vision. It's good to see a company willing to stand out in a crowd, even if it means giving up a massive franchise like Halo.

Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.

MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.

Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.

Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.

Abriael76d ago

Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."

Eonjay75d ago

"Microsoft allowed to probe Sony and Ubisoft"

Sounds hot...

ApocalypseShadow76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.

Abriael76d ago

Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.

S2Killinit75d ago

He is pointing out how corrupt MS is, and how money talks. I think.

KwietStorm_BLM75d ago

I would say read between the lines but it's pretty damn clear as it is.

Bathyj76d ago

You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.

TornRaptor76d ago

The games will become the best things ever all of a sudden.

Bathyj76d ago

Yeah I really doubt that.
I'm struggling to think of one I really cared about missing.

Hofstaderman76d ago

Bwhahahaha. Ain't that the truth.

Mr_cheese75d ago

The only exclusive im personally interested in from Microsoft is Elderscrolls and that's not even got s release date.

Everything else is genuinely of none interest.

OtterX76d ago

Microsoft never waits for the probing to be consensual.

derek76d ago

This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.

Sephiroushin76d ago

they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
