Destiny 2 Already in The Works; Activision Releases Financial Results Split by Platform Mix

Activision released its financial results for the quarter ended on September 30th, and you can check them out below, showing a marked increase from the same quarter last year.

During the following conference call it was also mentioned that Destinty's sequel is already in the works.

[TheWatercooler]

You can bet the sales of destiny on PS4 absolutely crushed xbone sales. We had some good proof from NPD in September. World wide destiny sales on PS4 must have been huge with much much less on xbone.

@Dadz.

I do. PS4 is the number 1 choice for gamers that much is clear. The more it keeps on dominating sales the more exclusive content it will secure

@n4rc

Lol. No it didn't. Not even close. You are simply choosing to ignore the bundles. Sony sold 500,000 in North America alone. Probably 1mil worldwide. Destiny and PS4's consoles trounced Xbone in September

@HeMan76

My post reeks of fanboyism? The post you just typed is far worse. You have a brand new account and your comments already show what you are all about.

And visually PS4 games have crushed xbones. Ryse is nothing special at all. 900p @ 20fps. The pre rendered cutscenes are the only things of note. Infamous is visually far more impressive all round. It's open world, 1080p, average 40fps. Higher polygon count, Higher texture detail. 100% better lighting and particle effects and nothing pre rendered.

@oSHINSAo

Yes I do. LB3 this month. It's been a great year for sony exclusives. Infamous, MLB the show, Infamous, Last of us rem, Driveclub. Even some third party like Final Fantasy 14. More exclusive than on that other console. They just lumped there's into the holiday season because of sales .

Correct me if i'm wrong but the Microsoft hasn't had 1 single exclusive this year until FH2 in October.

[dadz]

Who gives a shit

[Funantic1]

Yeah because the game was garbage anyway. That just means more people on the PS4 got suckered into buying the game.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

@DadzDon't mind him. He plays sales numbers, PR, pixles everything but games don't mind him he clearly joking with his troll account.

OTP: Destiny 2 will be a much bigger and better game. Just sucks I cant say the same for the hype over D2.

[ScorpiusX]

Thank you , couldn't have said it better myself.

[jrshankill]

Biggest PS4 fanboy on n4g... It's a toss-up between thewatercooler and tlougotg.

I wouldn't bother feeding them.

[Elda]

LOL!

[ThunderSpark]

What is going on with all the PS4 hate lately? It is getting ridiculous and seems more like a campaign.

Either way, Xbox fans don't play numbers or graphics unless it is in their favor. Let's all stop being hypocrites and just enjoy your console of choice.

It just so happens that more people have the PS4 as their preferred console of choice. That does not make your console of choice obsolete.

[XBLSkull]

Yep - Destiny failed to impress, no Destiny 2 in my future.

[Oner]

So let me recap & get this straight ~

TheWatercooler posts his comment (which was ON TOPIC by the way, as per the crux of the article) and then the immediate next 6 posts were either

a) Immature
b) Trolling
c) Personal Attacks
d) COMPLETELY Off topic
e) or a combination of the above actions

Yet those same posters are usually the first ones/types to bi@!#%, cry & complain all over N4G about how they have no bubbles and blame "others" because of "xyz"...as I see it YOU have no one to blame but yourselves.

Whether you agree with him or not is the issue <which can & should be debated> but it seems people want to attack the COMMENTER and NOT the comment itself. Yep ~ dat N4G logic.

If you can't disprove or elaborate on what is "wrong" with his post then you really have nothing to say and are just showing your ignorance by your replies...

SMFH ~ Stay Classy.

[its_JEFF]

@Oner brings up some good points... everything he posted was true and on topic. There really was no hint of fanboy in his initial post.

[N4g_null]

Ps4 gamers are getting suckered into alot of stuff.. paying for online, watch dogs destiny, drive club, Hmmmm free games, vitas. Yeah sure they buy a lot of stuff and then complain about it on the net... then spouts sales as to why they bought a system. Sounds like a suckered to me.

Does the water cooler really stay on topic? This is about destiny 2 not sales of one console beating the other.also ps4 hate is for the mediocrity not the platform. Will destiny 2 sale? Maybe not. They better finish the current game up first. Also does this mean they are done with all current dlc but are drip feeding it out? That is painful wow.

[deepio]

@Oner - How is Watercooler's ON TOPIC? The financial results in the article don't breakdown X1 and PS4 sales so the only reason to bring this up is to push your own fanboy agenda, which is exactly what he did. There's no other reason for it.

[Oner]

Article Headline ~

"Destiny 2 Already in The Works; Activision Releases Financial Results..."

I am referring to his original post (not the edit/replies of which was provoked by the following comments) because it's about Destiny & Activisions financial sales. So while he may not be 100% on topic as you believe, he absolutely is WAAAAY further on topic than the others.

Again let me clarify, you don't have to like him personally but addressing his post has much more value than directly attacking him of which has absolutely nothing to do with the article.

[redwin]

@deepio, some people buy things because it's the must popular. Weather its a system or a game, cars or clothes. Some others buy because of an informed desision, but that desision might end up to be a popular. Now, some others make a desision and then it turns out to be wrong down the line, then they tend to dwel on ambiguous positives like sales numbers and resolutions. Enter Destiny, there is nothing new and hype was short lived. Now they are working the angle of a very popular game and that the 2nd is coming and you should be excited because this one might be better and will validate the first wrong desision. It's marketing, telling you that even if you don't like it you should buy it anyway and be happy with it because you will be one of the millions. WAKE UP PEOPLE! Be original. The game was bad and it is ok to say it okay to say it.

[deepio]

@redwin - Errr okay, what's that got to do with my comment?

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

Not sure if I would be down for a Destiny sequel, have to wait till I'm done with the first one to see if I still crave more Destiny, but a Destiny sequel probably isn't coming for a while anyway.

[BitbyDeath]

Better have local co-op this time. Only way I'd buy it.

[SuperLupe]

Well great for the PS4 crowd ... I guess ...

Back to Sunset Overdrive I go. Destiny just doesnt cut it for me.

[DeadManMMX]

Ditto been playing it and enjoying it all day today.

[Xb1ps4]

I'll be getting soon! But I'm enjoying fh2 right now...

[SUCKxITxEZ]

I actually traded in Destiny so I could get Sunset, so I have no choice, not that I'd go back to that boring game anyway. Not even the same bungie we loved. The story and music directos went back to Microsoft before Activision could thoroughly tarnish their reputations. Still dissapointed they sold out to Activision, but at least they are back where they belong.

[redwin]

I've been enjoying Fallen a lot more. It's good to try a different genre for a change.

[DeadManMMX]

I think you can bet that most of those 3.5 million playing daily are on PS4 too. The rest of us have moved on. Not trolling but I legitimately did not like that game and was dissapointed. I traded it in last night at walmart and got double credit of 61 dollars. So I lost out on nothing with trying it. The game just doesn't feel fully baked. It looks pretty but has no soul and is very repetitive. I spent 20 minutes killing some death walker tank thing for it to drop NOTHING. I played co op with friends at a higher level and it doesn't divy up the XP nearly as efficiently as Borderlands did. I just did not have much fun. That is just my opinion but I was tired of telling myself that it felt worth the 60 dollars when I found so little enjoyment in it.

[Patrick_pk44]

I don't understand the appeal to the game. I pre-ordered tit for the PS4 and I canceled it a month before the release. I knew it was going to be terrible and didn't want to waste cash on shovelware. I'll be buying LBP3 instead.

[Johnsonparts23]

Cool story bro.

[Farmassy]

you thought it was pretty? I mean it didn't look bad but I definitely didn't think the graphics were very impressive

[n4rc]

Actually the word is Xbox sold more copies of destiny.. That was awhile back tho

[Ricegum]

Lol. No.

[Magicite]

only in usa and only because PS4 was bundled with Destiny.

[Mikelarry]

@ unreal n4rc is right according to npd for sept

http://www.inquisitr.com/15...

[CerealKiller]

"According to that chart, Destiny sold more at retail for the Xbox One than the PlayStation 4. There are a couple of caveats that go along with that ranking, though. For starters, Sony offered the PlayStation 4 bundle with Destiny packed in and the console saw a huge jump in sales for the month of September as a result. Secondly, Microsoft ran a promotion where it gave away a free copy of any game with the purchase of an Xbox One.

Despite being free, the Xbox One copies of Destiny sold with Microsoft’s console counts as a sale. Meanwhile, copies bundled with the PlayStation 4 did not count as a sale. Interesting how that works, no? It turns out that Destiny actually sold more on Sony’s console once you factor in worldwide sales and not just North America."

[Magnes]

@CerealKiller yeah I was a free xbox copy myself. Bought the madden Xb1 bundle went back to gamestop week later when the destiny deal dropped they just gave me a copy. I already had Destiny Digital download on ps4 traded it right there Bob's your uncle I got Shadow of Mordor for Ps4 free..

[n4rc]

I personally don't buy into the whole "we don't count bundles as sales"

Bs.. Of course you do.. You think Activision gave away those downloads? Hell no.. They were bought by Sony (discounted I'm sure) and Activision would no doubt include those in their sales calls.. First party games bundled may not count, but 3rd party games for sure do because they sure weren't free to either platform holder

The author makes that assumption.. Nowhere did they state any such thing.

[CerealKiller]

@TheWatercooler What like Tomb Raider?

[MRMagoo123]

Thats timed and was probably paid for by MS, Sony wont need to pay for things like that because companies want to back the console completely dominating and at this point in time and probably for the rest of this gen it is PS4.

[coolvibu93]

@MRMagoo123

It's quite naive if you think Sony does not pay for exclusive content. Just like MS paid for exclusive Call of Duty marketing and DLC, Sony also paid for exclusive DLC and marketing.

[hudsoniscool]

@mrmagoo
Very hypocritical of u to bash ms for doing that when were in a article about destiny. And Sony did the same thing with it. Paying for exclusive content and marketing.
Companies do this stuff all the time. Who gives a sh&t.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

u mean casuals and dudebros

gamers are the minority

[LOL_WUT]

Just get yourself an X1 or a PS4 trust me you're missing out! ;)

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

not really. I mostly play exclusives and none of the new exclusives interest me. Maybe a year from that may change but now nope.

I just stick with 3DS, Wii U and Vita they offer my great exclusives for now.

[No_Limit]

@TheWatercooler ,

Only fanboys like you cares about stuff like this. LOL

Enjoy your Destiny on your system and stop pounding your chest on a mediocre third party game. SMH

[ThinkThink]

You're kind of like the homeless guy on the corner that spouts nonsense only on N4G. I feel kind of bad, but also will cross the street to avoid walking past you cause you might be stinky.

[FanboyKilla]

oh ok your decision to the biggest disappointment of 2014, is to make a part two. lmfao good luck with that. this news confirms even you think your game is boo boo.

[CorndogBurglar]

By this logic, devs would only make sequels of crappy games, not goty level games. Yet we see it all the time. If a game makes money, it gets a sequel.

This sequel news shouldn't be surprising to anyone. Bungie said this is a 10 year plan. They already knew they were going to be making sequels LONG before this one came out.

Basically what I'm saying is, its okay to dislike this game all you want, but slow down on the fanboyism. It leads to you posting ignorant sounding comments.

Also, your name is a bit ironic, isn't it? This comment you just posted shows that you act just like a fanboy. Even though you are hating on this game, you are acting just like a fanboy that defends things. Or am I reading your name wrong? Do you kill fanboys, or are you a fanboy who kills?

[Johnsonparts23]

doesn't matter if you think it's the "biggest disappointment of 2014". The numbers are all that matters. And not just sales. The amount of people still playing the game show that it's been and still is extremely successful. After a month no one was playing Watch Dogs or Titanfall. But millions still play Destiny on a regular basis. But you're right, Gamespot gave it a 6 so that makes it a failure right? lol

[HeMan76]

1)May be for you but definetely not for me.I see no differences between pS4 and XO games sigificantly.I love the XO's controller and XBL is extremely stable,much more secured,more content,much better features and UI,incredible and endless updates.I see no reason to buy a PS4 currently and have no reason to buy it for the next year as well.(May be U4 can change my mind)

2)The games like Halo,GeoW,Forza,Fable,Scalebou nd,Quantum Break,Phantom Dust,Rise of the TR tell me that you have to stay for a long time only on XO.Thats my decision and these are the games I want to play with big enjoyment.

Mostly The games I want to play made my decision for XO side.If you want to benchmark better assemle a very good pc then you can satisfy yourself.

If you want the visual fidelity Still there is no a game come close to Ryse and FH2 on PS4.Thats the interesting part that under every article even under only XO articles the PS4 fans striving to prove the PS4 is much more powerful.If it is that powerful why they still cant catch the visual fidelity of XO exc.games on their own games?

So your comment reeks fanboyism

[MRMagoo123]

"So your comment reeks fanboyism" you say this to him yet say this "If you want the visual fidelity Still there is no a game come close to Ryse and FH2 on PS4" yourself ? lol nice try, but there are numerous games on PS4 that look better than either of those 2 games, killzone destroys them both graphics wise and infamous also does this too, imagine what ryse would look like if it wasnt the most linear game ever created.

[FriedGoat]

Just ignore Heman, he is a brand new Xbox fanboy account, obviously still upset and needs to justify his Xbox one purchase.

[oSHINSAo]

Do you have any more games to buy ?

[Gamer777]

How much is Sony paying you for advertising? Oh wait nothing.

[SonofGod]

Oh look it's back.

How is that even relevant?

[dcj0524]

Wii u is better when it comes to exclusives this year imo. Mario Kart 8,Bayonetta 2, Super Smash BroS. More action packed. Though i do prefer FFXIV over most games.

[HaydenJameSmith]

You are such a stupid fanboy...

[Zhipp]

This article said nothing about Destiny's sales on PS4 vs XB1. Actually, AFAIK, all we have to go on is VGChartz, and they have Destiny on PS4 selling a bit under 2x as many copies as on XB1. Of course, their sales are waay lower than the 9.5 million that Activision announced, so it's best to take their numbers with a grain of salt.

[mikeslemonade]

Watercooler is mostly correct that's the difference between the fans from each camp.

[KyRo]

I'm 72 hours into Destiny and still enjoying a lot when playing with friends. Yes there are some problems but then again I didn't get sucked into the hype like a lot of you did.

It's a good game, 10 million sales and 3.5 million users playing at any one time, that's a lot of people loving a game that this place loves hate on.

[16bitNutritionist]

Did you notice you only had one bubble? I wonder why?

Anyways OT, it will need much more content this time around. I'm defo gonna wait till its out for a while before I get it instead of being disappointed after two days of gaming on it.

[BallsEye]

So much denial in you. Keep on dreaming pal.

[listenkids]

This is actually embarrassing to read, as someone who prefers PS.

[deepio]

Watercooler's comment is unnecessary. The article is not about X1 vs PS4 sales.

[SuperbVillain]

Im a ps4 guy myself,but this comes off douchebagish

[Ryan741]

So much salt in this post I brought French fries.

[Jonny5isalive]

Well thats been obvious since before they both launched that ps4 would dominate like this. Im actually considering getting a xbox1 now someday.
Destiny 2 already being worked on means the DLC was ripped from the original game and it already on the disk now to be sold. THey are not working on the dlc and have been working on destiny 2. They are probably rushing to get the series on ps4 that is dominating.

[XanderZane]

@TheWatercooler
Uumm.. MLB and TLOU Remaster aren't exclusive. You know that right? These Microsoft exclusive has pretty much destroyed the PS4 exclusives. Compare the Metacritic scores

XB1: Sunset Overdrive, Forza 5, Horizon 2, D4, Dance Central: Spot Light, Fantasia: Music Evolved

PS4: Knack, Killzone: SF, Infamous SS, DriveClub.

It's actually has been an awful year for PS4 exclusives, mainly due to all the delays and all the overhyped games that failed to deliver. Then they had a disasterous PSN online servers the last 3 weeks. Then Masamune 2.0 caused issues with gamer's PS4 going into Rest Mode and not being able to Power On. Problems with uploading YouTube videos, etc... PSNow launches with overpriced game renals and laggy Wifi gameplay. PSTV launches with poor reviews as well.

It's been a great year for Indies on the PS4, but that's about it. Everyone is hoping Sony has something big to announce at their Dec 6 & 7 Event. Waiting patiently for Bloodborne, No Man's Sky, Uncharted 4, etc..

[Aries83]

Umm, Destiny actually sold more on Xbox One. Granted the totals don't include the PS4 Destiny bundle, but PS$ Destiny sales did not crush Xbox One sales.

[TimeSkipLuffy]

Destiny 2 then would take 9-10 years to finish? Otherwise I see Destiny's support being cut down because of the development of Destiny 2?

[CerealKiller]

The 10 year figure is for the entire franchise including all sequels. All the DLC for the first game is already finished. Destiny 2 will use a lot of the same assets as the first game so it will take a much shorter amount of time to develop a-la Call of Duty.

[pkb79]

Not only finished but locked away on the disc ready to go.

[Summons75]

It's Activision, Destiny is going have have yearly releases. Bungie sold their soul, if it didn't do well you bet they would have been turned into another COD only dev like all the other poor souls who deal with the devil.

[CorndogBurglar]

So Destiny 2 is coming out in 9 months? Sweet!

[Jonny5isalive]

10 years is 3-5 games for them. They make a game in 2 years, cut half out to be sold as DLC. Then start making the next game for 2 years, cut half out, sell as DLC.

[gangsta_red]

Hey, who knows...maybe this will be the game that blows a certain game's sequel out the water.

And maybe all those assumed facts that were posted a while back from a poster will actually be true. But oops, don't want to be targeted by an "off topic" sooooo...

On Topic:
I'm sure the sequel to Destiny will be miles and miles better than it's original just because it will be strictly for the new consoles.

[Chris-117]

Who cares. Fix the one that's already released.

[Intentions]

Funny, it's been almost 2 months and you still get "contacting destiny servers", error codes and disconnections. Pretty annoying when you're playing MP or doing Nightfall/strikes.

[Snookies12]

I was at my friend's place just last night. He kept getting that "contacting Destiny server" message. He was trying to help a friend out on there, and got booted 3 times before having to just give up. :\

[Tru_Blu]

Funny you bring that up. I was doing nightfall with two buddies last night and they both went down. I manged to clear the area and halfway through the first revive, "lost connetion to destiny server, error code weasel." Wasn't very happy about that.

[KyRo]

This happens in every multiplayer game ever. It ain't exclusive to Destiny...

[listenkids]

More than likely router compatibility issues.

[listenkids]

What's to 'fix'? The game isn't broken. It's content is flat and weak, which eventually balance out in due time ala every MMO labelled game in history.

[Nolando]

Destiny 2... where you wait twice as long for content to be released... and we may include a story...

[Mikelarry]

Why not concentrate on getting the current destiny up to scratch before working on destiny two. When destiny two does come out i will be waiting for reviews and for the love of all things good please add a meaningful story and content to destiny two

[xwilldemise]

Hopefully the sequel is better than the first

[Intentions]

It would probably have disc-locked content again.

[-Foxtrot]

They said they were supporting Destiny for 10 years and they are already working on a sequel

Can't Bungie spilt their teams and just get a small bunch of people to developer a new IP which isn't multiplayer focused and always online

They try to focus on pleasing single players, co-op lovers and people who love competitive multiplayer but all it does is spread out resources.

[Intentions]

Yeah 10 year publishing deal, it means for the franchise. You really think they were going to leave it as one game? Pretty sure it was leaked that it was going to be a trilogy with 4 dlc extensions.

[Abriael]

They said the franchise would last 10 years, not the first game.

[kryteris]

do you have a quote/source? I swear it was clear that the 10 years was strictly for the 1 game.

[Sevir]

Just like Abrieal said and many have echoed, the franchise of Destiny will be supported for the 10 year publishing deal with Activision.

The road map was Destiny, then 2 expansion, then Destiny 2 and 2 Expansions, Destiny 3 and 2 Expansions over the course of 10 years. They entered that publishing deal back in 2011 after They launched Reach with MS.

2011 10 year partnership starts
2014 (year 3 of partnership) Destiny launches, The Dark Below launches.
2015 (year 4 of partnership) House of Wolf expansion launches.
2017 (year 7) Destiny 2 presumably launches.
2019 (year 8) expansion 1 and 2 launch for Destiny 2.
2020 (year 9) Destiny 3 and first DLC launches
2021 (Year 10) Second Destiny 3 expansion launches and that wraps up their agreement with Activision.

[lemoncake]

They are going to churn out about 3 - 4 destiny games in that 10 year period. They are committed to destiny for that time period and I don't really see them doing much outside of that.

[qwerty676]

why would they?

look at the sales man, its through the roof.

destiny 2 will also sell like hotcakes.

no reason to go off and do another game all their resources should be getting destiny 2 out as fast as possible.

[Relientk77]

We won't be seeing Destiny 2 for a long time, even if it's "in the works"

[bleedsoe9mm]

by a long time you mean next fall right , this is Activision we're talking about

[kryteris]

A sequel sounds counter to the 10 year commitment, this is confusing.

[IIFloodyII]

The 10 year commitment was never going to be for just one game. 3 or 4 with tons of DLC will be though.

[IIFloodyII]

I'm not surprised, hopefully it has a story, mission variation and bigger more open worlds next time. It's gonna take a lot to get me back on board.

[Dirtnapstor]

I really enjoy Destiny. Don't know why it receives so much hate. If it's not your thing, so be it...ignore these articles and move on. Half the people who are naysayers aren't getting the idea/concept of Destiny.
Looking forward to more!

[Mister_Audrey]

Destiny should have been PvP only. That's about how worthwhile the PvE is.

[Johnsonparts23]

The Raid is fun as hell.....

[hudsoniscool]

Lol I think the complete opposite. The pvp is horrible. How they went from halo to that crap is beyond me.

[InTheLab]

Won't be fooled again. I'm all set on Destiny

[Rhezin]

Glad I traded it in. I shoulda known from the start with Activision involved that it's going to become an annual franchise. Something I detest wholly. You need at least 2 years minimum dev time to put out a great game IMO.

[Hercules189]

I'm pretty sure I saw a report that says Destiny 2014, Destiny Expansion 2015, Destiny 2 2016 and keeps going in that pattern

[cr33ping_death]

Destiny 2!? Rabble rabble rabble!! this is what some of the people commenting on this story reminds me of....no it wasnt 10 years dedicated to Destiny's first game it was the franchise.

i hope they improve on the story telling part of the game for the sequel.

[GamerGT]

Well, I just got this game for my birthday and I'm at level 7 and am enjoying it so far. Once the capture the flag unlocked I played it 3 timeslast night. I sucked but I got better each round. Thanks wife! So it's still fresh for me. Game on.

[ScorpiusX]

I look forward to a Titan fall sequel more than a destiny sequel. Bungie can keep D2.

[Metallox]

So are 9.5 million users = 9.5 million copies sold? Serious question.

[IIFloodyII]

No, people can buy a copie for multple accounts (family using one console for multiple people) or lend it to a friends.

[lonelyplayer]

oh yeah!!! I invested some money on ATVI today! and it's already up in after hours! :D

[Tedakin]

I've never made the decision not to buy a game as quickly as I just chose not to buy Destiny 2.

[DJustinUNCHAIND]

Too many people got suckered into this game, including myself. Not again.

[Illusive_Man]

Attach rate per platform is a better sales indicator IMO but who cares...Destiny is going to be dropped like a rock in Xbox Land come next week....when the Master reappears.

[S2Killinit]

I haven't had this much fun playing a video game in a long time. So Destiny 2, yes please.

[PS4OUR]

No. Destiny is horse manure. You are not allowed to like a game that has a bigger audience on Playstation (hence the disagrees on your comment).
The salt from the Xbox camp in this topic is glorious.

[S2Killinit]

LOL I couldn't have said it better. Unfortunately.

[WickedLester]

Here here. I love Destiny!

[Mithan]

I don't care about sales

I just hope the sequel tells the story MUCH better.

[Pinkdolphinyfg]

They won't see my money again.

[lonelyplayer]

that's what all COD players say every year

[mysteryraz11]

order will destroy ryse hell infamous ss already did and its a open world game

[GameCube123]

So much random ranting on this comment section for people's consoles of choice. Not much legitimate discussions, more of screaming "PS4 CAN HAS MORE POWER!" and "BUT..PLAYSTATION SUCKS CAUSE IT HAS NO GAMES!". Just get over your petty console war. Anybody with any sense can tell you that PC gaming is where its at for this kind of detail obsession (and I say that as a avid console gamer who doesn't have a good gaming PC in the slightest)

[InTheZoneAC]

I'm hoping they integrate Destiny 2 with Destiny 1 so that we don't have a what's supposed to be an expansive game that's broken up into a hundred pieces.

[OUROSMAG]

I will be there day one for Destiny 2

[TheLastColossus]

I hope the sequel has an actual story

[beereal360]

I will not buy this again

[R00bot]

Why is the Wii U tagged in this?

[TekKing]

I'm just here to laugh at the Xbox fanboys that hoped that this game would fail. It's even funnier in the second comment when one of them got mad and the Xbots gave out a bunch of agrees & bubbles. lol

[Silly gameAr]

Wow. The comments here. Yikes. Can't say I'm surprised about them though. Thewatercooler lit quite the fire. I guess it's bad that people actually enjoyed Destiny despite the bs, and it was actually successful.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

And just like the first game, Destiny 2 will come to all home platforms...
Except Wii U.

No. Wait.

They WILL bring it to the Wii U.
As a kick in the teeth to the players on it, though; no multiplayer online, no DLC, and instead of a port of the first game, they'll just show an in-game cinematic at the start that covers what little story the first game had, for all the uninitiated.

Oh, and no patch support.

Because ALL of that would be "too costly to justify for the sales we expect to get, even though we want it, and ALL of the other third party multiplats, to sell tons on the system before we'll actually feel safe enough to do something decent!"

That sounds about right, since it's all third parties ever do with their AAA core-focused mutliplats on the system these days...

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

Destiny could've very well been a one off release that could survive off of content patches & DLC! At least that's what I thought this game was supposed to do?

[Truthandreason]

One Week from today...

"Gamers find hidden Destiny 2 area, already on disk"

[masadiam82]

So much for that ten years plan... I just told someone that destiny two was going to happen before then. He argued me that it's a mmo blah blah, it's a business first.

[forgetmenot]

Destiny needs an identity of its own along with a few other things class differences would be nice aswell

[irishyort]

So..... wasnt Destiny supposed to be a 10 year game.... sooo... why the 2 ?

[linkenski]

Maybe it was purposefully misleading, or simply misleading because of Destiny's MMO appeal. Naturally a lot of us thought that this was gonna be just one thing with tons of updates and expansions but in actuality the "10 year contract" just means "Bungie makes games in their Destiny franchise for 10 years under Activision"

So expect Destiny to be as tired and drawn out as Assassin's Creed by the end of this console generation :/

Dat loot grinding! lol. typical MMO like trait. Just jump out for a few days and you wont want to go back.

I'm not in the least bit surprised they went ahead and immediately jumped into development of the next installment. Especially since they did state that'there would be a full game release one year then and massive expansion the following and so on and so forth.

However, I'm not about to start falling over with excitement until I can see that they actually fix all the crappy things about the game. For example, actually put the gd story in game. Don't make me go online to ready these idiotic digital cards. Get more creative with the missions. Standing around facing wave after wave of enemies while a bot with the personality of a sack of potatoes hacks a terminal got tiresome....REALLY FAST. Load times are crap. This isn't Borderlands. Lose the weapon grinding. It really doesn't fit the Bungie M.O.

Buying Destiny and then burnout after two months and now they're already making the next game? I know there's DLC coming but if Destiny 2 is already out next year, then it'll feel like a consumer burnout. No thank you Activision.

I thought games like this lasted for a good while. I'm guessing in 11 years or so there will be a Destiny max version with all the games and dlc combined on the Ps5 and XboxTwo4. The word definitive will probably get tossed around.

In the works? Destiny 2, 3, and 4 are already complete just sitting on some hard drive somewhere.

Destiny sequel in the works? Not surprised. Too many people read into what they said about a, "Ten year deal" with Activision. We may not see it for another couple of years (hopefully), but it's going to happen.

it better be a hell of a lot better than the first destiny. I guarantee you people are going to wait till a full review before chunking out $65 for the sequel.

This game was over hyped people know it and people will remember it!
