Destiny to have a big reveal at Sony’s E3 Press Conference

More PS4 exclusive content? aren't these the same guys that made halo?

CalvinKlein3981d ago

I just came up with a good reason too. Probably because bungie know the ps4 is more powerful so they want to show off the best looking console version. It could just be running on a PC anyways but if its running on ps4 then it could be a good reason to want to show the superior ps4 version.

FlameHawk3981d ago

I've been thinking because Microsoft and Bungie have gotten into a arguement because of Halo, because if you think about it Microsoft just gave their amazing high selling IP to some other company. If I was them, I would be really pissed off at Microsoft.

its funny how ms best fps dev went multiplat and so did sonys best fps dev insomniac !

Jonoc333981d ago

That is so close-minded haha CalvinKlein haha.

I think its a simple case of Sony came to them with a great business deal.

Sovereign593981d ago

Bungie no longer wanted to make Halo games, Microsoft did not take Halo away from them and give it to someone else.

RememberThe3573981d ago

Bungie knew Halo was goingh to go to someone else the moment they bought themselves back from MS. I'm sure there are no hard feelings, this is business not high school.

Personally I think Sony has an exclusive content deal and probably an advertising deal with them. I think it also has something to do with what Calvin described above but I'm certain larger sums of money have changed hands.

Intentions3981d ago

Some ppl here are misinformed/misguided.

:/

raytraceme3981d ago

@one4u
Actually Bungie had to BUY their independence from MS while Insomniac was always independent. BIG difference there.

Kingdom Come3980d ago

Or it could just be that, as they already have the attention of the Xbox Market, they need to win over the Playstation Market.

pixelsword3980d ago

Insomniac was Sony's best FPS dev until Killzone 2 came out.

PLASTICA-MAN3980d ago

I really hate when Consolee makers bring Publishers of multiplatform games and shwocase their games in their conference as if they were exclusive. Activision with COD in every Microsoft conference Sony with Ubisoft and AC games (and they show they show the same stuff on Ubisoft conference) and now with Destiny and I bet they will show PS3 version and not PS4 version too. Just a pure waste of time and making any conference loosing store just to compensate the lack of exclusive games or whatever. I'd rather watch a an hour-lasting Sony conference filled with exclusive games only rather than two houtrs 60% of it talk and multiplatform games shwocase. It justs gets boring. Be short and efficient is the key to impress and the key to success.

Tatsuya 3980d ago

It must be a PS4 gameplay, I couldn't care less about gameplay on PC.

PS4: Greatness Awaits

nix3980d ago (Edited 3980d ago )

Calvin.. the sad truth is it will never happen. PS3 is/was able to have greater graphics than 360 but the third party devs kept the game same so that there are no biases.

same is gonna be for PS4 and One (so tempted to type XBone, lol). what you will get is amazing games from Sony's first party devs.

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney3981d ago (Edited 3981d ago )

cant hate them for loving on the core gamer system!!

Ps4 is ur destiny!!

Sony probably gives them more freedom than M$ most likely.

Sony need a destiny ad with ps4 logo at the end!!

bet ps4 is lead platform.

I wouldn't be surprised if sony been had feed back from bungie during ps4 development.

Skips3981d ago (Edited 3981d ago )

Lol, the studio that practically MADE Xbox what it is (or should I say WAS) unveiling first gameplay footage of their new AAA IP at Sony's conference???

That's like Sony Sanata Monica or Naughty Dog going multiplat and unveiling their first game at MS's conference... LMFAO!!! XD

Huge slap in the face...

Pyrrhus3980d ago

Yeah, I never thought I would be so interested in what Bungie would say or put out but Destiny is shaping up to be a really interesting game.

Utalkin2me3980d ago

@Sonic200

While i agree. Don't ever say that last part, just makes me cringe.

AngelicIceDiamond3980d ago

Sony just simply provided Bungie with a buisness deal chill.

@Sonic Not really, but at least a Formerly owned MS studio's game Destiny looks allot promising than Sony's formerly owned studio Insomniac's Fuse.

Sony's in good hands with Bungie.

Skips3980d ago (Edited 3980d ago )

^
Sony never owned Insomniac bud, and them getting Destiny is a WAY bigger deal than MS getting Fuse.

"Sony's in good hands with Bungie."

You mean Bungie's in good hands with Sony... Considering how much Bungie loves them now being all developer friendly and whatnot. lol
Imagine if Sony and Bungie's relationship grew so well that Sony outright BOUGHT them and included them in their 1st party lineup! Would be CRAZY! lol

yeah dont sony fanboys hate halo good luck destiny

Action GO FIGURE3980d ago (Edited 3980d ago )

Except this isn't Halo. /eyebrow

I hate Halo but I like Bungie.

See the difference?

redtideone113980d ago

we don't hate it, we just never needed it. having a franchise like halo is always a + just the same as if microsoft ever got naughty dog.

Action GO FIGURE3980d ago

So why did MS go with COD instead of this? Destiny looks more interesting...

ABizzel13980d ago

Because MS bets on sure things, hence why the rarely try to create New IP's. The only reason they're trying hard for New IP's with the Xbox One is because:

1. It's been one of their greatest criticism's this gen.
2. Sony and Nintendo have a better first party than MS, and Bungie just left.
3. New IP's perform (not sell, perform) best at the beginning of a new console generation.

So it makes sense for MS to see what works, and whatever doesn't drop it early on. MS wants sure things.

Do I agree with that, as a gamer no, as a business it makes sense.

Persistantthug3980d ago

My...

How the tables have turned.

Gamer19823980d ago

Its actual gameplay for once..

I still have no idea what this game is about, but people seem excited so I'm excited? I unno. I'll wait til I actually play this game that's supposed to be revolutionary.

One4U3981d ago

same here , im excited about the concept but im not really excited about the game since i havent seen anything

ZodTheRipper3980d ago

You're excited about a FPS-RPG with subscription service and microtransactions?
I'm not. This way, the game must be super awesome for me to buy it.

Bumpmapping3981d ago

Superior PS4 version can't wait.

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter323d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell322d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig323d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast323d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g323d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka323d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai474d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface473d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard470d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
