Treyarch Studios, developer of “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2,” has publicly given their support to Bungie’s upcoming shooter, ‘Destiny,’ by openly the congratulating them on the game’s official reveal earlier today. Perhaps this is Treyarch extending their hand to Bungie, who are now working with Activision (the same publisher as Treyarch’s popular “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2’” game). Nonetheless, when the makers of the world’s biggest selling gaming franchise take notice of an upcoming game, it is quite a decent recognition to receive.
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.
Treyarchs probably thinking
"One of Us, One of Us, One of Us"
I love Bungie but out of all the people to go with....Activision.....urgh
I disagree.
I'm not impressed by Bungie's "Vidocs" anymore. The idea that watching department heads sitting around waxing philosophical amidst cutaways of concept art and behind-the-scenes footage would actually get me excited about their new IP is INSULTING to my intelligence.
Somebody needs to get Bungie the memo: it's 2013. Show us some ACTUAL GAMEPLAY (more than two seconds of running up some steps) before you have the audacity to prod me to pre-order your shit, at the very least.
Treyarch is being nice so they can feed off of Bungies ideas like they did to infinity ward
all bungie has done so far is tell everyone they are great and playing on pc sucks. I think activision knows this will have big day one sales, but die off quickly. Thats why they are letting bungie keep the ip.
