"I'm not here to wax poetic or sing Xbox praises . . . But recent weeks have brought Bungie, a studio formerly owned by Microsoft, into the PlayStation gamer's consciousness. Destiny, the first game in a planned 10-year narrative arc, will be the first Bungie game on a PlayStation console. The open-world sci-fi shooter, which looks to embrace social gaming in ambitious ways, will offer exclusive content for PlayStation 4 gamers. Bungie even closed Sony's PS4 reveal, a trump card by the latter that surely had Microsoft execs fuming. Yes, seeing Bungie on a Sony stage was surreal, but also incredibly exciting. Whatever your feelings on the studio's former loyalties, Bungie has a lot to offer PlayStation gamers, including..."

Looking at what they have to offer it's hard to see why Microsoft let them go multiplat in the first place, it must be a real stinger to the fanatical Xbox fans out there.
With PS4 being so development friendly we could also see games like Gears of War appear in 1080p HD collections on PS4, after all Epic owns the IP and not MS

Hopefully MS will pioneer some new IPs for next gen or there won't be much left to differentiate the Xbox 3 to the core gamer crowd.
@logic Yes, I didn't say that it wasn't. Edited & made it a bit clearer for people now.
@logic again, Actually it was said that MS had a 1 year exclusivity deal with Destiny before the PS4 announcement rocked the world...
http://gamer.blorge.com/201...
Isn't Destiny coming out on the 720 too?
Also, what exactly did Microsoft "let go". Letting something go implies that you had something in the first place. Microsoft never had any deal to make Destiny a 720 exclusive. The only deal that took place was with Sony and Activision for exclusive content.
EDIT: Yeah, I think Microsoft will put their most of their eggs in the Illumiroom basket. I'll reserve judgement until I see it.
Regardless, I hope this game is on par with Halo in terms of quality. Even though I know a lot of the Halo team left for the 343 studios.
They did have announced exclusive content on ps4.
Maybe master chief skin.
J/k
That isn't happening anymore

dont tell me, in n4gs warped reality when they do it for microsoft it just for money. and because they are scared that m$ execs will eat their children.
this is multi-plat by the way
Even though Microsoft doesn't own the Gears Of War IP, they did publish all of them, fund development and pay for the advertising. Some people believe so many people left Epic because Microsoft got another deal for more Gears games next gen and people like Cliffy B didn't want to be locked in to making strictly Gears games for the next decade, and I can see that.
I wouldn't hold my breath with Gears going anywhere, Microsoft has deep pockets and Gears was their big franchise this generation.
Destiny looks good, but I also wouldn't count out MS getting some of their own exclusive content for the game when the 720 is announced later this year.
@Knight Crawler
It was amicable, its not like Destiny was ever going to be a Microsoft exclusive. I'm interested in what the end result it, upset a bit because if you go somewhere that doesn't have internet you cant play it though, which means the game will realistically only be good for a few years.
So yeah MS let Bungie go.
It's been rumored that part of the deal for allowing Bungie to buy their freedom was the rights to everything Halo and the right of first refusal on all future Bungie projects. If true it would mean MS exclusivity is possible on all Bungie games for a fee. I believe the RoFR is true since it's hard to believe Microsoft would have let them go for just a couple of hundred million when they made a couple of billion for Microsoft. That and the fact that MS already had around 50 billion sitting around in a sock.
BUT, I dont care what Bungie said on stage with SONY; Destiny wont make the PS3, period!
If it does; if you thought Skyrim ran like Sh*t, wait til an open world co-op Destiny runs on the PS3.
PS owners also already have Killzone and Resistance.
But this may be good for xbox gamers to enjoy free online gaming with Bungie on PSN.
A big blow for xbox fanboys and great for real gamers.
It's business as usual
Also happy PS gamers got to experience the Bioshock and Mass Effect franchise!
Bioshock, Mass Effect, and Destiny for MGS and Final Fantasy! Even if FF has been lacking this gen.
As for games like Tekken and DMC. Ninja Gaiden and Dead Or Alive seemed like fair trades. lol
Non of those IPs were ever exclusive, especially GTA.
MGS4 never went to 360 and GTA has never been exclusive.
@Sonic200
Yeah, pretty much.
"but but you never got teh MGS4" that sound familiar? That's because it's the only thing you guys have left to hold onto.
Who is you guys?
I was just stating facts and you went on a fanboy attack. I wouldn't mind you being able to play MGS4, even though it might take an entire generation like the other MG games.
It's kind of sad when you think that MGS4 is the only thing on PS3.
For all we know Destiny could flop and since its an MMO I cant see it being free to play which could be pretty hard for PS players to stomach considering they play online for free.
If Destiny takes off you can bet MS will get the deals for the sequels.
Bungie is a great developer and Halo games have generally been great, TBH i Can't wait to Play destiny 'Halo' on my PS4
Gaming use to be about the games and not some pi$$ing contest over who's corporate branding dawns the front of a plastic box sitting next to your TV.
Anyway, I disagree. We need competition.
What on Earth are you talking about now?
No I am not saying that. If you had any "common sense" you'd know that(irony strikes again...). I actually misread your comment as saying we should have a single console. But your suggestion actually contradicts what you are trying to "prevent."
The fact that people care which games are exclusive to which console shows that people purchase their console based on the games rather than brand(Although you fall under the brand category). If you take away exclusives you might as well be purchasing your consoles "over who's corporate branding dawns the front of a plastic box sitting next to your TV."
You know, exactly how manufacturers do now with TVs, DVD players, etc. Why have an environment that increases the cost of development like we have now or limits sales to one console."***
You're saying that TV, computer, etc manufactures all come together and agree on certain baseline specs? That's news to me. I finally understand what you are saying though and while it would benefit gamers and developers, I'm pretty sure Sony MS and Nintendo would want it to remain the way it is now as doing such a thing would only benefit those that are struggling.
The thing is when it comes to the other manufactures you mentioned they don't exactly agree on a baseline set of specs or format, it's more that it isn't beneficial for them to come up with their own format when they have several different competitors using a "universal" format. That would just lead to them getting less content due to their unique format. In regards to the game industry there are only 3 main big competitors. So any single company can get away with not complying with the "agreed" baseline specs even if the other two go along with it without it hurting their bottom line.
Could Bungie also be working on an PS4 exclusive because I don't think they would depend on one title for 10 years....
Oni ?
Publisher and developer aren't always the same. I also believe the PS2 version was ported from the PC version by Rockstar Toronto(according to GameFaqs).
A "XENOGEARS" Remake in Collaboration with some of the Original Developers would be nice as well.
Bungie and Sony are friends? What? Stupid title.
Destiny: Activision Publisher.

If anyone thinks that MS does not have a strong relationship or leverage in what Bungie does they are wrong. MS knows everything Bungie does. And they are either part of it or developing counter plans to ensure Bungie does not affect who wins the next generation.
I don't recall hearing the news that Halo is coming to PS4/PS3?
For god sake, ThatKansasGuy, is this you? You tried and pretend to be an Xbox fan and got busted a few weeks back. Now a new account appear (less than 10 min) out of thin air and the first post is written in the same manner as ThatKansasGuy. Fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice..... ;)
I guess things have changed now that Bungie is a free agent.
Now if Nintendo ever goes third party Sony fans will switch from utterly hating all their "rehash" franchises to claiming they are the best thing since sliced bread.
You only joined 21 days ago, so maybe you haven't gotten the memo yet. Maybe you should go back to the archives in Feb when the game was officially announced at the Sony conference before coming up with the conclusion that not many PS3 fanboys are excited about Bungie jumping ship. You are new here, right? Look at yourself in the mirror before calling people out for trolling. smh
http://n4g.com/news/1178002...
exerts from known N4G PS3 fanboys:
"Bungie making games for the Sony says it all. Next gen win goes to Sony. "
"Microsoft can't be happy about this...ha ha... "
"My mind blow it away right now...amazing.. "
"Man, Bungie on Playstation and exclusive stuff coming for us PS folks. Today was a good day."
"this shooter is gonna be the best ever...i bet its gonna be so inmersive, customization, etc...only can do it. lol MS "
"Yes EXCLUSIVE content TO PS, suck it XBOX "
"Exclusive PS4 only content! Haha, Bungie have seen the light. "
"XBOX fanboy's going to be very peed off!I LOVE IT!"
Destiny looks good but it's no system seller in my opinion. Most of this excitement is based on fanboy logic that "Xbox's #1 developer is no longer exclusive to Xbox". it means something to certain people, and it's definitely somewhat as significant as Insomniac releasing a game on Xbox.
Out of all the comments you picked there maybe 2 or 3 looked like ppl excited about the game the rest where just ppl trying to stick it to the Xbox fans so they can't be confused about excitement for a bungie game, so like I said I don't see that many Sony fans getting excited I just see some Sony fans rubbing it in that bungie is making a game for the ps4.
I have gone back and looked at your comments and I now see why you have 2 bubbles soon to be 1 you can't talk to anyone about trolling because you are one of the best examples I have seen as to what a troll is.
You seem to act like this is some Sony ran site yet all I see in the ps4 articles are the same idiots such as yourself spewing forth complete bs, give it a break take some breaths and maybe try a playstation out you may find it fun.
As for Halo, always been decent. But overrated imo. I played the original on pc and while I enjoyed it, did not make me want to play the next game.
MS advertising does the trick for most people. That part of the brain that tells people what to buy does not work with me.
Probably why I don't buy apple either.
