Bungie Chooses Faceware’s Facial Mo-cap Products to Help Breathe Life Into Destiny’s characters

Bungie has revealed that Destiny will use Faceware's tech to give the characters in the pending game an even greater appearances. This bodes well for the highly anticipated game.

As if this game needed any more help to make it even more interesting.

I keep going back and forth on this game. I wonder if this is really over-hyped or going to be really good.

Will it be Borderlands without the cell-shading or something deeper and cooler?

Garethvk3689d ago

I am sure we will get a good look at E3. It will be interesting to see how they promote it compared to COD as while their other games get good attention at E3 the giant video screens linked up in the theater have clearly been all about Call of Duty.

I have been thinking of it as a darker and deeper Borderlands.

spicelicka3689d ago

Reach had awesome facial animations, i can only imagine they'll be so much better with nex-gen systems.

Garethvk3689d ago

I would think so, plus they have thrown a lot into this and Bungie is eager to show that they are more than just the company behind Halo in recent years.

MrTrololo3689d ago

Is this confirm to be coming out for PC ?

Garethvk3689d ago

They already confirmed it on PC ages ago, but yes we can all be happy to have it there.

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_Slaughter332d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood332d ago (Edited 332d 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-ro332d ago (Edited 332d 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 Russell332d 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.

buffig332d ago

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

anast332d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

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

z2g332d 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.

spicelicka332d 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...

CobraKai483d 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.

jeromeface482d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard480d ago

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