MMGN writes: The breathtaking polish and compelling narrative that form the foundations of Destiny are exceptionally “Bungie” in their execution, and no one, especially not Halo fans, expected any less from this wonderful developer. Yet, despite 343’s internal experience and passion for the Halo name, it’s very, very hard not to feel as though Xbox has lost an invaluable asset, and right at a time that the console struggles to find an identity.
Bungie - "Join our development team to see the new updates arriving with Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Releasing on June 4, 2024."
Amid ongoing anxiety within Bungie following layoffs last year, the studio is now preparing for another shakeup, this time on Marathon.
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
This studio has had three owners and its never worked well with any of them....Management has issues
Destiny 2’s game director Joe Blackburn is stepping down ahead of The Final Shape, leaving Tyson Green to take the reins of the PS5 and Xbox FPS.
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.
That's just now being realized?
they never own bungie to lose them in the first place ...
and if you're wondering about biying them , no they couldn't because bungie was working on destiny since halo 3 OST so they was already thinking having their own IPs and controlling them ...
I have to say I strongly believe that if they would have had a new Halo game ready at launch or soon afterward that they might be the dominate system out there right now. Convincing people to pay an extra $100 would have been a lot easier with a great Halo game as a reward.
I've long since been aware of Bungie's brilliance since they were MS first party. Funny that they're only now getting the credit they deserve.
i for one think it is a good that bungie have gone multiplat gives everyone the chance to play there games it is a good for everyone
