Can't wait to play Bungie's masterpiece on my PS4 with all the extra content.

Muffins12233898d ago

Hey guys will destiny be available at launch for ps4?

Forbidden_Darkness3898d ago

Nope, it'll be available sometime next year

josephayal3898d ago

So it’s Halo but post-apocalyptic? Sounds good to me

KRUSSIDULL3898d ago

It doesn't even look like Halo so I dont know where you take the resemblance from?

dlocsta3897d ago

You obviously do not have a 360. The first time I saw Destiny all I could think of was Halo. The characters even look the same. The big guys look just like the Brutes, but without the fury. And they carry a staff! The Brutes carry gravity hammers. Don't get me wrong, I think it will be a great game, but it is nothing more than an update Halo in a different setting.

JKelloggs3898d ago

Sony Halo? It's made by Bungie, and is multiplatform.

ifritAlkhemyst3898d ago

I think this game has seriously the most perfect pulp look going for it. It's as if Bungie decided to make a game based on the covers of thousands of sci-fi paperbacks.

Pintheshadows3898d ago

I couldn't have put it better myself.

lastdual3898d ago

Exactly. The art direction oozes character.

It makes me really want to explore the world, despite the fact that I'm a bit burnt out on shooters at the moment.

Pintheshadows3898d ago

Beautiful. Truly beautiful. A testament to excellent art design.

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_Slaughter330d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood330d ago (Edited 330d 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-ro330d ago (Edited 330d 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.

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

Kurt Russell330d 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.

buffig330d ago

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

anast330d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

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

z2g330d 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.

spicelicka330d 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.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

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

CobraKai481d 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.

jeromeface480d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard478d ago

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