Destiny’s big April update has a small size

Bungie has revealed the size of the April update for each console.

JayH19803359d ago

So basically you guys have done nothing new and are reusing old crap... sounds about what I would expect from this game.

remixx1163359d ago

"Sigh" this was a downer to be honest, why are they always, always, ALWAYS shorthanding us. Like damn bungie do it for the fans at least once please.

rezzah3359d ago

Because the cycle of the (empty) grind matters more than the fans.

irishyort3359d ago (Edited 3359d ago )

@ remixx116 its an update, not new DLC. Where's the short change?

This is the equivalent of COD giving you a new set of guns every month from the black market. So I'm not complaining.

More stuff to collect if you want, which is essentially what this is - A gotta collect them all game like a FPS pokemon from the 90s.

Or Chinpokemon for anyone who gets the reference. I always see to get Shoe in Destiny! lol

remixx1163359d ago

Well they claimed the new micro transactions would be used to fund future free content.

That's why it was being implemented.......it's really just updated old content with a couple new bells and whistles.

Idk maybe I'm just being short sighted but if this is it then....I don't even know.

Jmanzare3359d ago

It's not dlc and I'm sure it took man hours and I bet the micro transactions paid for every bit of it. Better than throwing a new raid in too and charging us 40 bucks. I do wish there was more but at the end of the day I didn't pay for it. I will form a better opinion after I try it out but the division update just so happened to drop today too.

AizenSosuke3359d ago

Oh Destiny what would of been if it wasn't update but an actually DLC.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast293d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole293d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

anast293d ago (Edited 293d ago )

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

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

Reaper22_293d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981293d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140293d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85293d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj293d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman293d ago (Edited 293d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake293d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn293d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg293d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07293d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom293d ago

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!

XBManiac293d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake293d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark293d ago

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.

DarXyde293d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125293d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
