Destiny at Gamescom

It’s the largest single gathering of gamers in the world – the ultimate public event. Hundreds of thousands of gamers will descend upon Cologne, Germany in search of their next great adventure. Bungie will be there to make sure they get a guided tour of ours.

I really want to see more of this game . This game and the witcher 3 make me wish it was 2014. Profound sadness...

Gazondaily3899d ago

In the madness in the run up to Gamescom, I actually forgot all about this. I can't wait to see more of this.

SuperLupe3899d ago

Still giving them a chance to impress me. Watched the gameplay vids, read the dev interviews and still dont see why I should be hyped for this game.

ATi_Elite3899d ago

Wait a minute your NOT hyped for Destiny but your Hyped for COD Ghost?

This game is truely the stuff of dreams, ive been waiting for a game like this for years

ATi_Elite3899d ago

Firefall is currently available to play right now!
Borderlands 2 is currently available to play right now!

STALKER MMO mod has been around for years

Planetside 1 and Planetside 2

Vindictus but it's Melee weapons instead of guns

APB Reloaded also comes to mind

I really don't see Destiny as a Brand New Genre but it is a nice package. Many games out now that play just like it!

MYSTERIO3603899d ago (Edited 3899d ago )

I get your point but destiny truley seem like it with a class of its own. In neither of those games you mentioned was there the ability to visit different worlds, play host to multiple online players at once both cooperative or competitively via optional challenges and the freedom to traverse the universe at will.

Bungie has stated as such that all these features will be possible in destiny. And if you consider all this will be taking place within a constantly evolving world with community support it really does seem special.

I really think its gonna be a great gaming experience to have and hope you give it a try on release.

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.

Kaii30d ago

Layoffs should be hitting the incompetent management at this point.

Profchaos30d 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

Rynxie30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

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

Profchaos30d ago

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

purple10130d ago (Edited 30d 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_Long30d 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.

MIDGETonSTILTS1730d ago

Arrowhead Studios will be Sony’s GaaS consult now.

Gameseeker_Frampt30d 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.

-Foxtrot30d 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.

MIDGETonSTILTS1730d 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

ChasterMies30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

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

Fearmonkey29d 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..

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.

DickyD122678d ago

I agree but I was just able to get all dlcs for 50 on steam. (Have it on PlayStation but don't always have access to the TV)
