Subject: I don't know why, but feel this new i.p is coming for next gen ...

Per Audacia Ad Astra!

Hi guys,

Okay i don't know Bungie's planning for releasing their new title but watching all of the rumors talking about Xbox 3rd Gen and PS4 and judging the move of Nintendo Wii U, i suspect that Microsoft won't let Nintendo taking advantage of the next gen.
Maybe i'm mistaking but i was thinking about Bungie being in the middle of this. There's a long time they're develloping this i.p, but assuming current gen is over-saturated by sequel (Halo,COD,Assassin's Creed,etc...) i clearly don't see a brand new i.p coming now, the cycle of these console is near the end (at least more 360 than PS3) and i think a brand new Triple A title could reach more people on a new console.

Strangely i imagine Bungie would try to do what they've done 10 years ago but in several platform at their launch (Xbox 3 /PS4)


What you guys thinking ?

Unlikely. Microsoft and Sony have said that their new motion sensing devices are to extend the life of both systems until 2015. That is more than enough proof, imo.

Why would they hire PS3 programmers if they aren't going to make a PS3 game?

Possibly because these people would be familiar with PS systems; I imagine having a background in PS3 programming would help with a possible PS4.

It wouldn't surprise me if many companies, Bungie included, already have dev kits for the next-gen consoles to play around with. Just because the new motion sensors for the 360 and PS3 can extend the life of these consoles by a couple of years doesn't mean much; the NES didn't die as soon as the SNES came out, the PS didn't die as soon as the PS2 came out, etc...

Destiny could possible come out during the transition period and be available for both the current and next-gen consoles.

Makes sense. But I doubt a new system will come outuntil 2014, and if we have to wait that long for Destiny, I might quit the internet.

You can extend a console life while you're launching it's successor, remember about PS2-PS3, it's not a problem. The old gen was still living when next gen came, there was even games on these system (360-PS2-PS3)...

Yeah you're right about that, but Bungie don't have experience with Playstation prog and they want to develop in Sony's Hardware ( After ONI they never touch a PS except for playing with it and not for coding)
So what if they hiring people who understand the current difficult system and maybe the next one ? Perhaps they can port assets on PS4 ? Who know ?

Iit's just supposition...

Not with a bang but a whimper.

I wouldn't normally imagine that it would come out for the next gen console, but who knows? Personally, I think they will put out the first Destiny game on the 360 and PS3 but the second one of the new console. That way they can see what they did wrong (if anything) and fix it before going to a new console with a host of new potential issues.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

Sony didn't intend for the PS2's shelf-life to be as long as it was after the launch of the PS3, that was more of a failure on the new console's ability to draw consumers while the PS2's low price and already established game library garnered attention from people looking for a cheaper, but still Sony, alternative.

No, it seems now that Microsoft and Sony are both set on giving their consoles both a very long life, allowing them to keep their profits up while giving them time to work on new consoles. 2015 is likely the best bet as to when we should be looking for the new consoles to surface.

I can understand your line of thinking since Bungie is making a game that is supposed to surpass the Halo franchise(most likely will). New game means new console is what I sensing from your line of thinking, but I can almost say with certainty that Bungie's new game will probably follow LoZ: TP meaning it releases for the current gen consoles then gets releases on the next gen as well. Many possibilities but it seems Bungie will more than likely release for current consoles. Here is hoping they remember their Mac fans and release on the Mac as well ^^

I couldn't make it past the half-way mark through your post. My brain rejects writing styles like yours.

OT: Everything on new consoles is simply rumored right now. Either way, I'll probably go PC if they launch a version that crosses that bridge.

Kinect expanding the 360's lifespan. FML...I am not a fan of arm waving. Even the commercials for PS3's "Move" for Resistance 3 bother me, people really enjoy this garbage?

I am a 20 year old man, I want to sit on my ass and play.

Edit: yeah, I reckon their new game will debut on the current gen. I don't see these consoles done yet, thinking 2013/14. Also the game is clearly in the works.

Hate to beak it to you but you are becoming part of the old way of gaming. A little 8 year old I know was trying to tell me about a Wii that her friend has except it has these controller things "that you don't move".

Edit: She was talking about a white xbox 360.

Oh the horror...

On the subject of new consoles... I understand the games these days are supposedly hitting the upper ability limits of the consoles, so beyond more processing power and beautiful graphics and all that nice stuff, what would a new console gen even bring?
Bungie's game already being made leads me to believe it'll be on current. Not to say the new consoles aren't being made but...I'm skeptical.

I see these ones lasting 2 more years.

My memory is failing me...how long before release did we hear about PS3/360?

Well, i understand what you say. But sometimes people in B.net need to understand there is not a only english spoken community, Bungie has fan all around the world (like me) and as they didn't make the decision to make international forums (like Bioware for ex) I try my best to explain my toughts in english...

If PC is lead platform (wich is what i hope) I'll probably get it on PC too.

Why not? People aren't going to learn English just to talk on Bungie.net. That would be ridiculous.

And your point? Generations overlap. The 360 and its successor are going to co-exist for quite some time on the market. Sony talked about the PS2 having a "ten year life cycle" yet the console is still on the market and the PS3 entered the arena six years into its predecessors life.

Saying console X is going to last ten years doesn't mean console X-2 will be ten years after X's launch. I swear some people need to work on their reading comprehension.


During multiple Activision-Blizzard earnings calls the new Bungie IP has been confirmed for 360, PS3, and PC. Until someone says otherwise it's a current generation title.
