Subject: Bungie's new game

I've sworn not to buy or pay for a subscription based game, I'd give Bungie my virginity if that's the route they are going... on the other hand, it could be entirely possible they go with a free to user with the ability to buy things with real money, or perhaps an enhanced version that is subscription based. But I will assume that there will be a base that doesn't require subscription cause that's too high of a risk but who knows, I'm buying it regardless.

We might have to wait until next year, but this year is not over yet, so who knows.

I've stated this in another thread but I'm anticipating a VGA announcement in December on spike tv. Seems to make the most sense due to the fact that its the biggest televised games show out there and with activision's fiscal year ending in feb-march, there will be plenty of time to build investor interest for a final push in funding for the development. Here's to hoping I'm right. =)

If you can't beat em, mine em.

I never do. Multiplayer is an afterthought for me. Hell, I refuse to play a game co-op the first time I play it just because I don't like having friends mucking about while I try to soak up the story.

I'm hoping we see something this year too, seems like a good theory mate :)

I'm the same, I like solo campaign on my own first. However if the game is designed as an MMO or hybrid it may very well be always online and always multiplayer as part of game/story itself. That's my theory for their new game anyhow.

Yeah, we might get a sneak peak or a teaser atleast in november probably or december, who knows.

Bungie confirmed a few months back on their twitter feed they we won't see anything regarding their new game until 2013. :(

I posted about this in the community forum, but people there were saying it was old news and they already knew about it, so they thought I was just spamming. Just trying to pass this a long as everyone does not know about it.

I'm fully aware of it, and it they did the same with ODST and Reach, a teaser don't reveal too much stuff besides flashy images and titles.

A teaser trailer is all I am expecting at that time. Then they'll go dark until CES or later. I'm also guessing the new Xbox will be revealed at CES.

A simple life.

A teaser would be amazing at this point...

The year is not over yet, it might happen, it might not. Either way we know the date already, so there's not reason to worry about.

  • 09.09.2012 6:41 AM PDT

So that will be 3 to 4 years of nothing from Bungie, game release-wise. That's a long dark period for Bungie and fans alike.

I rather wait, I mean, it does matter how much we nag Bungie about more info about the game, they will release any info according to their schedule, there's no much we can do and it helps a lot knowing the date release, plus it's really fun to especulate.

Hey MasterSin, saw your mail sack question. Jason Jones is project lead to their next game, FYI. When they announced the Activision partnership in 2010, there were a few interviews which mentioned that Jason was leading the project since it was conceived when Halo 3 was finished. Just wanted to let you know.

Hey, thanks man, yeah I knew that too, but it would be nice just re-confirm it by DeeJ. But thanks again for the heads up, Jason Jones leading Destiny means it's gonna be a kick ass game.

Man of God. Fan of Bungie. Eater of many Jr. Bacon cheeseburgers.

This is what I've been thinking, as well. They're going to change the industry and it's going to be huge. It hit me a while back. I've been following Critical Path and what people have been saying about where the industry is going. Games are turning into more than just games. The industry is getting to a point of revolution. Dynamic characters, photorealism, emergent gameplay, and the lot of it is all going to truly have a presence in it. Changes are coming and BUNGiE is at the tip of the spear.

There are some very interesting prospects here, although then support xbox 360 I don't seem so much of that being used. More the genre blurring and persistent universe with an economy for now.

In future with next generation and kinect upgrades they could potentially map you facial expressions or body animation on to characters in real time.

Only new consoles could achieve this in my opinion and would have to be server based but there are a number of possibilities:

1. Facial expression sync'd with your microphone chatter, serious immersion and personalisation of characters. Imagine no more NPC's? Or imagine AI takes over your character when you're not playing in a persistent single universe?

2. Body animation, this seems very hard to implement but with Microsoft patenting a webcam/projector style device to use with Kinect style devices and all your walls/room become the game, similar to the interface in the movie Gamer. Long ways off perfecting though.

3. Customisable AI, imagine have a group of followers or clans etc that are made up of your online friends, AI's when they aren't playing and the ability to customise them such as aggressive, explosive, tactical, support, intelligence gathering etc. Again not for this generation of consoles.

4. Characters, in-game actions, roles and gaming across devices. Possible in this generation and much of what I have talked about in this thread. Overall enables players to use their console/PC as the main game but when away they can use their character from a different game aspect e.g. console/FPS and mobile phone/RTS strategy.

5. Kinect & Forge style mechanics. Imagine building Halo forge maps using the Kinect. You could combine the controller and Kinect for some insane features and customisation. Possible in this generation but more likely in the next generation, systems and designs have a long way to go to make this work intuitively.

I think Bungie's strenght here is their amazing AI capabilities, the AI in their games are unique, not to mention the artistic designs and amazing writing.

I totally agree about the talent for art, networking etc. It's the universe this game will be set in that has me concerned whether I'll like it or not.

For example if they set it in something like Ghost in the Machine I'd be super happy. If they set it in Katamari then I won't be playing it just because it's Bungie.

Bungie has never dissapointed, so I'm not worry about that, even in a brand new universe and a possibly a brand new genre, Bungie has experience and it has been growing bigger with great people from within. I'll reserve my judgement until they have something to show and demonstrate.
