I'm thinking more along the lines of a multi-platform MMO RTS(FPS). Changing the game completely.

(SonicJohn was first to speculate that btw)
You mean like how the EVE universe is split into a FPS console game and a MMO PC game?
More like how Shadowrun players played the same online experience on both PC and Xbox Live. I'm talking about that but on EVERYTHING. Xbox, PS3, PC, iPhone, iPad, Android...everything.

If they have it on 360, PS3, and PC, the way I could see them to innovate the whole gaming industry with allowing the consoles to all play together on the same server. 360 players, PS3 players, and PC players all in the same game. (maybe not PC because of the modding possibilities but you get the idea)

I would LOVE for that to happen again. It's about time we break the platform walls down.

In all honesty, the way people go through Bungie videos, trailers, and ViDocs frame-by-frame and pull out screenshots to speculate about is one of my favorite things about this community.

All what I thought, was said here. Very true indeed!!!!

I did post my idea of the new IP earlier today. From what I've seen on the market, I'm pretty sure its something different.

I don't know why everyone wants an RTS. They've done an RTS. My idea of how likely it is they do each genre (higher on list = more likely)

1. MMOFPS

2. FPS

3. Regular MMO (3rd person)

4. Action game. 3rd person shooter of sorts.

5. RTS

JMHO.

Exactly 30 seconds into the documentary comes this image. Now that little poster on the wall of the building I've circled might just happen to show the word DESTINY and the wierd symbol on it. The only reason I say this is in 720p I see 7-letters spelling out DESTINY and then an upside down triangle. It is NOT clear and I have no recollection of what is going on at Bungie. Just something I figured I'd share.


Very cool find.

I cropped the image off the vidoc on 720p, and went into photoshop. I tried to sharpen the poster without making the image unreadable. Link.

A bit clearer.

I have 20/20 vision. That says Destiny. No doubt

Huh. I was figuring that the Destiny Symbol was going to become the Y in Destiny, much like how the O in Halo is, well, a Halo.

By the way, side note, but just a thought, what if Bungie had one server (dedicated) for the whole game and (since its cross platform) you could play in the same game as PS3 players?

I don't know how that would or could get worked out. You obviously couldn't party chat cause of the differing systems but if you really wanted to you could skype or TS or something. And I dont know if even in-game voice chat would work, but that would be cool.

Get a huge community all together playing the game despite the fact that they're playing it on different consoles. Eh? Eh?


Its actually happened before with everquest on the ps2

it allowed pc players and ps2 players to play together



if bungie pulled off such a ridiculous feature it would DEfINTLY be a game changer like they said

BTW, saw something, not sure if its me taking way to much from it but in the Per Audacia Ad Astra picture. It honestly looks like the lower atlantic ocean between South America and Africa. But, with some ARG stuff?
Picture with annotations.

Just an observation.

Yeah. What is on my mind is that the new symbol for Bungie's new game looks like a dick. Is something wrong with that?

Just a little theory on why Destiny is named Destiny, anyone remember Marathon Infinity's final screen?

If we did see the end of the universe in Infinity, maybe we made it to a new one?

There are few questions/concerns on my mind. I suppose I'll start out with something that would hugely impact their game's success if it were an MMO. Michael Pachter, an industry financial analyst on Gametrailers, revealed a year or two ago that he had been in discussions with Bungie in which they expressed interests in subscription plans for their future products. As we've seen from the outcry from Call of Duty Elite, I truly believe that gamers will refuse to pay $5 in addition to their XBL subscription to play a game. If Pachter was telling the truth, Bungie adding a required subscription might kill their new IP. However, additional content for subscribers vs free players for a nominal $10 or so a year might work out better as we've seen with Bungie Pro.

Cross platform play would be essential to keep the game alive since, as we've seen with the XBL numbers, there is a much larger variety of games for gamers to play compared to Bungie's Halo 2 days. Having cross platform play for the Xbox, PS3, and PC would definitely extend the life of their IP for many years.

Another concern I have is with Microsoft playing ball with cross platform play. As we've seen with Valve, Microsoft is not keen to giving gamers free content which could be an issue for Bungie if they were to do cross platform play as everyone's speculating.

My biggest concern is with this generation of consoles. As we can see from Bungie's hiring ads, Bungie's making a game for the current console generation despite the possibility of new consoles being announced in the next couple years. Obviously this wouldn't affect the PC market (if Bungie's developing the game for the PC), but what would happen to Bungie's IP if it was stuck in the previous generation of consoles?

Bungie has a hard road ahead of them no matter what they do. It makes me wonder...

tl;dr- How will the possibilities of subscription based gaming, cross platform integration, lack of cooperation from Microsoft, and the next generation of consoles affect the longevity Bungie's next IP?

I think you've struck a gem. It could even be a play on words when they said they were make a "New Universe" its literally an ALL NEW universe. Chronologically speaking.

Hey, how are yuh?

Bungie, you have an uncanny ability to build hype for your games unlike any other studio. It almost feels like the years before Halo 3 or Halo 2.... I look forward to hearing more about this game.
