There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Bungie has specifically stated they will not be making an MMO (and thank god). But good to hear.

I wonder if I will get fired if that presentation shows up on a gamer blog or rumor site?

As someone who works for a gaming site, I somehow find this very tempting. At least I can spell a username right....

Anyway, that is kind of generic. Personally, I don't like the press writing about things like this based on vague statements or common sense. Obviously Bungie is working on something and making progress. And they can make claims like "genre-defining" because that's what they did with Halo. It doesn't really tell us anything we couldn't already figure out. But if it gets an article out, that's what counts for a lot of editors.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

They did? I didn't realize that they had confirmed or denied any speculation about the title, including genre. Do you have a link to this statement?

Absolutely not. It might've been Urk after Aussie Kotaku claimed Destiny was an MMOFPS, it might've been later on when they said they were hiring for a position of someone to make an economy system, but stated the game would not be an all-out MMO.

Incredible progress? Wow, that's good to hear. I'm really hoping they offer something substantial at E3, but even the tiniest teaser will satisfy my excitement.

Not all out, but still could have many points to it. A hybrid would not be considered MMO. Though i am pointing that out, we so far only know i think from the Umbra partnership that it will be open world well that depends if umbara history has something to tell us about this game.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

May your main account RIP.

Interesting.

I've not cyber-stalked urk, but I have noticed that his statements that I recall reading were specifically worded and crafted to neither confirm nor deny ANY details, including genre.

For him to out and out say "it will not be ______" seems (at least to me) to be out of character. Especially when terms such as "genre-defining" are being tossed about by so many people.

It could be an FPS.

Getting fired isn't bad as having your username spelled Qbis98.

I embellished the memory. Urk did make a flat denial, but I was completely off.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

This confirmation occured after a Bungie employee made a MMO joke about their game that some people decided to interpret literally. Afterwards, that employee was quoted by Urk in a Weekly Update saying essentially "It's just a joke, we're not making a MMO. Sorry."

Here you go.

I know right? Blizzard is trash.
Posted by: Elem3nt 117
They're only paying for it because they can't attract talent to their internal studios.


Blizzard isn't Activision's internal studio.

They are making a massively good online game, however.

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

Bungie continues to make incredible progress on what we expect to be a genre-defining new IP. . .
*Futurama Reference*

Genre-defining games are exactly what the gaming industry needs. I have been playing more Indie games than full price games because the creative ideas and completely new genres aren't being created by large game developers as often compared to about 2002. I don't think large game developers are willing to take risks anymore.

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

Oh' yeah... Forgot Bungie's new publisher is Activision. lol... Just lost my purchase, sorry guys.

We're concerned

Got a question, comment, or concern? PM me.

I would hope so. It has been in development for (supposedly) 4+ years.

Can't wait to see what they've been up to, hopefully we'll see Bungie at E3 this year.

I like that little bit that says the new IP is "genre defining".

I doubt the publishers of Gears of War 3 (Epic...?) would have released a press release saying Gears of War 3 was going to define the FPS genre.
Third Person Shooter =/= First Person Shooter.
I apologize, yet my point stands. The Third Person Shooter genre could have done without GoW3 and been almost exactly the same.

I think this new game can be anything. Bungie has made great FPS, 3rd person shooters, and RTS/RPG games. I am pretty excited.

Yeah but unless I'm mistaken, almost none of the original employees from the Myth/Marathon days are still with Bungie
