HITC Tech says: "Honestly, I’ve not been too hyped about Destiny. We’ve been reporting on it for some time – new trailers, screenshots, details etc. which all look and sound great – I definitely love the look of Destiny and what we’ve heard of its story, but that’s also how I felt about Bungie’s Halo way back in 2001. I tried Halo: Combat Evolved when it came out, but it just didn’t do it for me. I even bought Halo Reach years later to see if that would draw me in, because for so many people it’s such a great series I thought there must be something in it that would appeal to me - that didn’t work either. So, before I’d even tried Destiny I already had major reservations, simply because it was being developed by Bungie, the same studio that created Halo. Using my past experience with Halo as a wonky measuring stick, I entered Destiny’s beta with much hesitation."
The long-rumoured Destiny Mobile game from NetEase may finally be ready for reveal according to multiple leakers.
Phil Spencer talks candidly about missing out on both Destiny and Guitar Hero
So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses
Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!
another Interview?
how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol
Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.
However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.
How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.
"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"
Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.
A former Halo and Destiny executive producer has said the live service model is "so much better for developers and players" than the one-off $60 purchase model.
Well the Poll on the website is suggesting he is massively wrong and out of touch.
A big majority of the vote going to "I prefer one off purchases with paid expansions"
Couldn't agree more.
I'll always think the concept is awesome. Back during the PS3 era I pictured a Spider-Man game that would be the traditional open world swinging playground that they typically are but every comic issue would be turned into dlc. It'd be the entirety of the Amazing line, 2 to 3 issues at a time, turnt to dlc until the entire Amazing line is told in form of a game. That concept eventually made it to the industry and they have consistently fk'd it up with every game that has been made as a "service".
There is nothing like sitting down , popping in a great single player game and blocking out the world.
I've played the beta on both PS4 and X1...
And I am still not excited...
Solid gameplay mechanics but generally generic feel.
yep, the game beta was lots of fun.
I felt the same way! Now I want to get it! It's just something about it that is so rewarding when playing it, and that was just the beta!
Same here, everything was meh before and after few hours in the beta i got addicted. Need the fix asap.
Destiny will be THE highlight of this gen. Period.
