Digital Trends:
"Halo creator Bungie has updated its web network to incorporate services other than Microsoft for the first time. Facebook, Google, and PlayStation Network accounts can now be used to access the site. What does it mean for Destiny?"
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)
Could this be one of the first games Published under Activision where the developers actually have some sense of freedom in the creative process? I really hope this game is not a flop, and not a 'really good' game. I hope it is an amazing game, like a Bioshock or Uncharted 2.
The gaming worlds eyes will be on Bungie when they have a complete reveal of this game, most likely at E3. I hope for their sake that they can succeed where others have failed. Bungie seem like a really down-to-earth developer, from the tours of their studio to their casual MP sessions with Naughty Dog.
Thier fuck if this game fails,Activision will fire them in a heart beat. But good luck.
cant wait to play this on ps3.
soo it's official
their next game is going to hit pc/ps3 as well
but i thought people here said Destiny is an exclusive to 360
