Bungie's Destiny: The Story So Far

Yesterday was a brilliant day for myself and the other countless legions of Bungie enthusiasts, the studio that brought us Myth, Marathon & the Halo series. We were treated to some brand new concept art, insight into the Destiny saga and most importantly some actual gameplay footage.

Join us as we explore everything we know about Destiny so far.

Great, another aliens vs. humans shooter. At least it looks much better than Halo's boring, generic design which I never cared for.

spicelicka4099d ago

I think halo has one of the most unique and iconic designs in video games, when you look at the type of game it is. I'm getting a good similar vibe from this, really hyped!

JamesSterling874099d ago

Agree completely. It has something very special in the way it looks & feels, but for me I think the soundtrack is the cherry on the cake. That's why I'm so glad to hear that MOD is back writing the score for Destiny.

Is this coming to the ps3/ps4?

Another L for Xbox, when are they going to have good news?

MrDead20h ago

I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.

Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.

Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!

Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.

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.

Kaii52d ago

Layoffs should be hitting the incompetent management at this point.

Profchaos51d 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

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

Profchaos51d ago

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

purple10151d ago (Edited 51d 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_Long51d 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.

Arrowhead Studios will be Sony’s GaaS consult now.

Gameseeker_Frampt51d 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.

-Foxtrot51d 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.

MIDGETonSTILTS1751d 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

ChasterMies51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

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

Fearmonkey50d 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..
