Game Punch: Since Bungie started leaking out details about Destiny in November 2012, I have been aching to find out more about this game. Bungie, best known for their innovative Halo series, have been a hallmark of Microsoft’s endeavours in gaming, so when they announced they were leaving Halo behind for brighter pastures many gamers wondered what they were possibly going to do next. An RPG? A strategy game?
Bungie - "Join our development team to see the new updates arriving with Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Releasing on June 4, 2024."
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.
If this is released at launch, I am willing to predict that it will dominate. This game will be unique and engaging from what I have seen. It will be lest Halo, more Mass Effect, yet it seems that the planets will be more populated and detailed than ME. This is the game and the Witcher-3 are the games I looking forward to the most so far.
I'm very excited to see more of this, will be going straight into my PS4 that's for sure!
I'm excited but not liking the sound of the fact you always need to be online, especially with a game like this which would be as good playing solo offline.
After the SimCity thing I'd rather not be forced to stay online
There's not enough info on the game to justifie an opinion about it imo.
If its the fact that Bungi made another succesfull game, then i advice you to look at studio's who fail one after eachother after a succes.
Hope its good though.
Killing me with news. We are looking at 2014. Damn.
