Very nice boxart, even if it's just for pre-order purposes.
I've never played a single MMO game in my 21 year gaming career(not really a career but I've been at this since age 6!) but something about this intrigues me greatly.
Welcome back Bungie, we've missed you *in agent Smith voice*

I will preorder this and ps4 on Feb.20th

ShugaCane4085d ago (Edited 4085d ago )

I'll wait for a proper in-game footage before I decide whether I pre-order this or not.

Sovereign594085d ago

Maybe this is just me, but I almost never preorder a game over a month before it's released. I know it's just $5, but I don't like to allocate that $5 to anything any earlier than I have to. And here we have a game that we aren't even sure whether or not it will be released this year or the next. In my opinion preordering now is just ridiculous, especially where we've only seen 30 seconds or less of in-game footage.
All that said, I do like what I've heard and seen thus far of this game, albeit 99.9% of it being conceptual, and I probably will preorder the game, just not now. There's no harm in waiting until the month of, or even the week of a game's release. There's no harm in not preordering at all and just picking the game up the day of or even after its release especially if the preorder bonuses haven't enticed you, but that's another conversation entirely.

same i hold out until the last minute so instances like Alien Colonial Marines or DLC withheld from the game, or Season Passes tacked on last minute dont waste my cash. i always pre-order like the day ahead lol.

showtimefolks4085d ago

so this is not exclusive to xbox360?

ign said about destiny think of planetside 2 and borderlands combined into one in a way

now that would be amazing

i think there is a very good chance Bungie's shows up at sony's stage on February 20th

akaakaaka4085d ago (Edited 4085d ago )

Again I smell @#$% from this game, casual, micro-transactions, activition is behind this, bungie has not change the genre since HALO 2 and when they did they introduce casual feature like heath regeneration and power ranger alike art and character's.
I can't believe how few are falling for the hype.. Not saying this will be a bad game but i can smell the #$%#@$ from far away .

sadly I can see activition cashing in a lot of $ they are the kings of persuasion.. a plague for video gamers is what they have become .. i don't car eto lose my bubbles this deserve it.. if i can only make some rethink!! i will be happy

well @rustedman @#%% smells the same everywhere in the world .. #$%# coming form a king or from a vague is @#%$ and it smells the same ewwwk.

OhMyGandhi4085d ago (Edited 4085d ago )

I've smelled @#$%, and I've smelled #$%#@$, but let me tell you...#$%#^(&!!@&$ smells a lot worse.

greenpowerz4085d ago (Edited 4085d ago )

"....i don't care eto lose my bubbles this deserve it.. if i can only make some rethink!! I will be happy"

LMFAOROFL. Wow. That is sime of the worst punctuation I have ever seen. If you want to persuade someone to see you point of view, make sure you can spell. Also, make sure your username has nothing to do with Playstation with a history of fanboy comments (I know this is multi-platform, but it doesn't take a genius to know that the PS crowd on this site dislikes it much more than the other crowds).

TemplarDante4085d ago (Edited 4085d ago )

Wait...
What they showed was not nearly enough to make me preorder,
Its like they sold a concept on Kickstarter and people are suppose to chip in?
I have an issue with the fact what they showem was DX9 type graphics, And is the PS360 versions. PS4, Nextbox version will be announced with the PC version a la' "Watch This Space" quip,
I dont think its wise to place a preorder now, More specifically, if you plan on buying a next gen machine on launch.
EDIT: Also.. We all know Msft and their closed system policy. They wont allow servers like those in Dust or DC Universe, what Bungie are saying likens their system to a P2P drop in multiplayer like Dark Souls..
It is Activision....they do have an unhealthy avarice for money.. expect this to be a F2P-ish game with drop in / out co-op and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads of microtransactions.
The more I think of it.. the more I smell a rat with this game..

BX814085d ago

Sure it is. I mean what else do you want.... in game footage? Give me 3 different people talking about the same game in not so full detail and I'm sold. Now where do I go to pre order my 6 copies?

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies19h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken15h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 6h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 6h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt18h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken15h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
