Yep, First Bungie announcements then Sony's Live Presser 3 days later.

The 17 and 20th can't come soon enough. https://www.youtube.com/res...

To anybody that's unclear.

BattleTorn4088d ago (Edited 4088d ago )

Tell me about it, my girl comes home on the 17th!!!!!!

juandren4087d ago

Will she be announcing the PS4? Otherwise we don't really care

(Kidding. Happy for you. Was just trying to be funny)

ABizzel14087d ago

I don't really understand why they would do this before the PS4 announcement. The announcement of a new Big 3 console will overshadow the announcement of a new game regardless of what game it is.

My guess is Bungie may very well be at this PlayStation conference with a second showing of Destiny. If so that's a huge stealth troll by Sony in the only way a stealth troll can be good. MS did the same thing when previous 3rd party games that were exclusive to Sony, were being released on Xbox as well.

Bungie and MS go hand in hand simply due to the Halo franchise. Sony having Bungie show their newest game on PlayStation is a slap in the face.

It's like in 2006 - 2012 MS was stealing all of Sony's ex's.

But here if it happens, Sony just stole MS wife.

Kevin ButIer4087d ago

Or MS wants to troll Sony

Or Sony wants to troll everyone

This might mean it's a PS4 launch title!

Dread4088d ago

It probably wont, but we know it is timed exclusive.

Vegetom4088d ago

Or perhaps a move by Microsoft to steal some of Sony's momentum and announce it as a (timed) exclusive?

MmaFan-Qc4088d ago

isnt Bungie supposed to be released from the slavery contract Microsoft had?

Enemy4088d ago

@ MmaFan: They're under contract with Activision now, not Microsoft.

PFFT4088d ago

Nope, this game will be a timed exclusive for the Next Xbox. Bungie has confirmed this.

jmac534088d ago

Microsoft has first rights of refusal for all Bungie products even if it is being published by Activision.

delboy4088d ago

NO, Destiny is for ps360 and xbox720.

hakis864088d ago

Ohh, they should wait until after the 20th. Just worried that IF indeed the PS4 ++ is shown, that will make a lot of people forget about a game (for a while).
Maybe a week or two later would have been good.

Muffins12234088d ago

For all we know the timed exclusive thing might not even happen,remember this contract we saw is several years old

GalacticEmpire4088d ago

Never understood why right after escaping Microsofts grip they would turn around and make their next game Xbox exclusive.

Apparently everyone is completely certain that the deal they made YEARS ago with Activision still includes this leaked requirement. They also have to get a 90+ score average and sell like 5 million copies in 6 months or something along those lines or Acti will terminate them, I mean their contract. All seems a bit ridiculous to me, but I guess Activision are great at making money so they know how to screw every last penny out of their slaves/devs.

Aceman184088d ago

i remember hearing its 6mth timed period for microsoft first, but if this game has online mode i can patiently wait the 6mth to pick it up as i wont pay to play online.

MrBeatdown4087d ago (Edited 4087d ago )

"Microsoft has first rights of refusal for all Bungie products even if it is being published by Activision."

Got a source for that? I Googled it, and all I could find was that MS gets the first crack at publishing rights, and that ship has long since sailed. And even then MS having the first shot at publishing rights wasn't 100% confirmed, and seems unlikely unless MS actually had the first shot and decided it wasn't worth publishing Bungie's next game.

"For all we know the timed exclusive thing might not even happen,remember this contract we saw is several years old"

Exactly. The contract doesn't set the final release plan in stone. It's an agreement to a minimum, so nobody is obligated to deliver beyond what they know they can, or want to. But it doesn't mean both sides can't agree to changes.

Just a few months ago, promo art was leaked that listed just 360 and PS3. Bungie confirmed it was real, which could point to both versions being released at the same time...

Enemy4087d ago

We've got some funny delusional fans here. Activision, the publisher, decides where the game is going. Bungie has no say as they signed a multiplatform contract with a multiplatform publisher. Deal with it.

they know that no one is going to be talking about anything else after Sony announces their new hardware so...

8 days left kiddies, are you ready?

hazardman4088d ago (Edited 4088d ago )

Any next gen games or systems shown are worth talking about. I'm looking forward to the 17th as much as the 20th. Its a new game that eventually will be played on PS4 and X8. I wish more game companies show off next gen games...

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney4087d ago (Edited 4087d ago )

This game will be made to appear only for xbox. You most likely see xbox logo. Bungie + cod publishers + MS = 2 year dlc delay for pc/ps4.

I am looking forward to playing this but as a playstation gamer I have a bad feeling about this game..

I really hope it's not aiming for that E10 -T rating that I've been hearing about.

As long as it's fun the rating doesn't matter!

Looking forward to this multi plat!

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.

Kaii34d ago

Layoffs should be hitting the incompetent management at this point.

Profchaos34d 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

Rynxie34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

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

Profchaos34d ago

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

purple10134d ago (Edited 34d 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_Long34d 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.

MIDGETonSTILTS1734d ago

Arrowhead Studios will be Sony’s GaaS consult now.

Gameseeker_Frampt34d 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.

-Foxtrot33d 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.

MIDGETonSTILTS1733d 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

ChasterMies33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

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

Fearmonkey33d 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.

DickyD122681d 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)
