On a scale of one to ten (while also providing an explanation), how likely do you think it is that Destiny will be a shooter (of sorts)? Now, this isn't just another "what genre do you think Destiny will be?" thread. I'm talking about just the possibility of it being a shooter.
With the releases of Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 recently (one more so than the other), the standards set for the shooter genre are going up ten fold. This is from a marketing perspective, a quality perspective, a graphics perspective, a sales perspective, a multiplayer perspective, and every perspective in between. Whether or not you're a fan of the aforementioned games, you have to admit that, for better or worse, they're quickly evolving the genre. This new shooter market is getting harder and harde to become recognized in, unless a game is a continuation on a franchise or has some sort of stepping stone into the market (being a launch title for a new system for example).
So, do you think that, despite these new developments in the world and market of First Person Shooters, Bungie is going to use their experience as an FPS developer and throw their hat into the metaphorical ring for contention? Or, do you think they'll take the safer (and possibly more successful, depending) route and go off into a less contested genre?
