Subject: My theory on Destiny

you are a good translator
Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

Destiny will likely take place in a near-ish future Cyberpunk themed universe. There will be 7 mega-corporations that the player can choose to work for. Each corporation is run by an enigmatic AI that fits into the theme of each one, for example:

Osiris: AI fancies himself as an Egyptian God, and the PMC employed have a slightly Egytian theme as well as company architecture.

Seven Seraphs: A council of 7 angels runs this aeronautical company, soldiers and company have a Roman theme, have the most potent air force.

New Monarchy: AI takes the identity of a king and leads his personal army of "knights" and "Paladins"

The setting would be similar to New Mombassa in ODST, but on a much larger scale and in a city filled with life. Strip Clubs, Night Life, Neon lights, street thugs, and all sorts of environmental touches as players get missions from their companies that will pit themselves against other companies, and perhaps private and government targets. Each faction grows in strength based on the players in the game, and if one faction starts to slip, they may offer better pay or rewards to keep the environment competitive. This would be a truly open world to fight and explore in, and reacts to the entire player base on a dynamic level. Lend a hand to your allies that you come across, betray your faction, the choice to shape Destiny is yours.

The music of course will be a pivotal touch. I feel like Marty should return to the themes visited in Marathon, a hyped up techno/intrumental soundtrack that fits the bright and high tech world of Destiny. Much like this

Players will also shape their character, defining their role in combat. Will they be a tough as nails soldier, or a discrete operative that utilizes Mirror's Edge-esque parkour?

So here's my little visualization of the clues Bungie has given so far, feel free to add your own speculation as well.

Rampant speculation has to start somewhere.

True

I for one hope it's an RTS.

Interesting theory, but it seems un-Bungielike.

Doesn't really strike me as the "amazing, kickass" title they're keeping us in the dark about. Not to mention it's almost certain that their next project will be set in space. This theory doesn't really fit into a space-type theme.


and if their next project is a RTS I'll shoot myself.

Hell, great work op! I'd buy that!

Kind of like this theory, minus the techno music part. I really like what Marty did with Halo and I hope he continues being as expressive and emotional through his composing in Destiny/Tiger.

It sounds like brink. :/

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

Actually sounds pretty cool. Except, there isn't enough space in your idea.

Can you really stop? If you don't have anything CONSTRUCTIVE to say, AS THIS IS A SPECULATION THREAD, then don't post. We get the idea. Yay. You hate reach. Woo. Point made. Just LEAVE NOW.

For the topic, I think the landscape looks a lot like Winter Contingency landscape in Reach.

One, this is still not confirmed accurate. It's going to have... Massively... Awesome Multiplayer online.


Two, I'm thinking multiplayer might be like Chromehounds, but not Mechs.

Whatever it is, they have the experience of ten great games and one good game behind them, so it's bound to be a masterpiece.

Ummm........
Not to be a hypocrite or anything, but a lot of people said that about Halo Reach, and about 90% of them (that posted) hated it. This proves the point that no matter how BIG they hype is for a game, it still has the possibility of disappointing people in the end, even if its a lot of people.

Baseless accusation is baseless. Come back when you have some proof. Oh and opinions, bro. So what if they hated it? Many people love Halo Reach.

This proves the point that no matter how BIG they hype is for a game, it still has the possibility of disappointing people in the end, even if its a lot of people.

Well, duh.


But, in saying that. What gives you the right to go around and flame a game that hasn't even been released, OR ANNOUNCED, yet? How can you have an opinion on something that hasn't got video proof?

Reach was silly. Destiny will not be.

"It is impossible to prepare for and prevent a war at the same time"
-Albert Einstein

a cool idea, but I noticed that you left out the "dead orbit" faction. It sounds to me like you've got a mix of GTA, FPS, and a little company RPG in there? It would be an interesting idea, but there was also the quote from Joe a couple months ago, that went something like

"wouldn't it be awesome if the game kept going, like all the time?"..... and.....
"a massively [...] multiplayer game would be pretty cool"

  • 08.05.2011 4:55 AM PDT

OP, I have basically the same theory. Except for the setting. We already know there is going to be a day/night/weather cycle. And probably some signature Bungie panoramas (that means country/terrain). Their skyboxes have been among the best in the industry.

But When it comes to the faction theory, I know exactly what youre saying. Why would they make tons of merchandise for something they would throw away?

I think there still will be some degree of customization, but rather that you choose a race or class to play as (than assigning stat points)

It will be like a global invasion-game with multiple teams involved. (Me thinks)

I don't
I can't keep up with 2 SC2 expansions and a bungie RTS, I'd never get any good at any of them!
