Eskimo Press: There has been a lot of speculation about what Destiny, Bungie's first game post-halo, will be like. Bungie is finally ready to start shedding some light on their new ambitious project. In a new video feature, Bungie talks about their new mysterious universe that is sure to deliver plenty of action and adventure. After creating the Halo universe, and developing most of the games in the series, it's no understatement that many have high expectations for this new multi-platform game. With Halo in the hands of new developer 343 industries, Destiny and Halo will inevitably be compared to each other, and in direct competition.
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
This studio has had three owners and its never worked well with any of them....Management has issues
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.
After a not-so-great 2023, Bungie is entering 2024 with a plan revolving around Destiny 2 and possibly more to expect from Marathon.
I expect Bungie will be folded into Sony and the leadership given walking papers.
Disappointment and lessons on how to grind in-game and in-industry.
What exactly should be be excited about to see from a company that does only one thing and keeps falling flat on their face?
Let's get real, all the relevant talent have since vacated Bungie. There is new blood, but it is directionless and or muzzled.
The end of Destiny 2 and the end of Bungie's independence. After 2024, who knows what Sony is going to do with them. We are still waiting to see what they are going to do with Housemarque and Bluepoint Games. All we do know is that the soundtrack will suck.
There will be no competition between a new multiplatform game and an exclusive most of Xbox owners rely on, that makes no sense. Halo fans will keep playing Halo, and that won't prevent them from playing Destiny as well.
I disagree. If the game holds its own, and is all that it is promised to be I'm sure that a lot of gamers, Halo fans even, will migrate over to Destiny.
There are a lot less people playing Medal of Honor: Warfighter than there are people playing Black Ops 2. Because it's better....
I think that they will be in competition, since they're both first person shooters set in a sci-fi world that tells the story of humanity's fight to stay alive. With the Halo series getting lazy with innovation, I think that many Halo fans might abandon the series in favor of Bungie's new exploits
@Sako
With the Halo series getting lazy with innovation. Please tell how so.
Halo fans might abandon the series in favour of Bungie's new exploits . why & how did u come to this conclusion.
@Sako just wanted more insight to your outlook.
I think Halo was great just think 343 did not want to stray to far from what players know & like about halo or get carried away. I do believe they will add some never before seen ideas or concepts to try & make Halo 5 theirs.
As for the halo/bungie fans they will support both, no matter the issue.
Nope.
