Perhaps this patron hath a point. Very good read! One of the more developed theories I've read in a while.

More people need a vocabulary as beautiful as yours.

As time goes on, it's become more of an instance where I throw stuff at a wall and wait two and a half years to see if anything sticks.

So can we expect a Version 3.0 or is this it?

Destiny is a Firefly MMORPG, I'm sure of it. The Charlemagne references are obviously correlated to Nathan Fillion on the scale of pure badassery.

Very well made and thought out. Congrats again, Ms. Cortana.

I'd imagine Version 3 won't come out for a very long time, if ever. Cortana basically redid her entire OP, and will be using this thread for future updates on Bungie's next game and how it may relate to her theory. Unless something drastic changes in her thoughts, which I doubt, there won't be a Version 3.

At least, not in another thread ;-)

Basically, this.
Unless I take a lot of stuff back or the new IP turns this thing on its head, there won't be a 3.0 thread, but I'll end up with massive edits to the OP and/or I'll use the reserved post.

Oh, and PLEASE SAVE THIS THREAD. The April Fool's HFCS thread knocked me off the top topics list. >_>

Read though for the second time, as the first was confusing to me. Great job also noting the revisions, wasn't too bad for a 2 am post. Or was that the edit? :P

So with E3 around the corner I wonder if there will be subtle references to any of these findings, that only a few people will understand. Not to blow anything out of context, but for the many that didn't notice all this stuff, it's actually intriguing that Bungie set up their own gaming universe the way they did.

Very excited to see what happens in the next four months :)
-Yes I saved this thread!

Of course we are saving this thing. Look at all this work. Besides from reading your op over and over I'm thinking your pretty close to the real deal here. If you aren't i think they will incorperate some of this out of sheer awesome.

RPG or not, it's going to all tie into the clues as pointed out in the OP. I would be really interested if it's going to a multi-platform service that ties PC, Xbox Live, and PSN together. I have no idea how that would work on the networking side of things, but it would be neat to know if that's even possible.

If the speculation that there will be factions is correct (Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, Osisris, Seven Seraphs)


I'm afraid Bungie is going to make their next game an RPG.

Spread the love...

Although it's probably going to be Joyeuse, Clarent and/or Excalibur might somehow be related.

The Joyeuse IP Formula

In light of the recent leaked court documents, here are a few things that I shall amend:

One.
Activision is asking Bungie to make four games in around ten years. This kills the "three years to make each sword" tie-in, UNLESS one of the games is outside a core "trilogy." ie: It acts as a prequel, instead of part of the big story-arch.

Two.
The game is a sci-fi/takes place in space. This supports the idea that the formula (assuming that it's true) is intended for Bungie's FPS Sci-Fi games.

Three.
I will not comment on the legalities of Bungie's partnership with Activision UNLESS it directly affects the lore of Destiny. In addition to that, the gameplay genre of Destiny is not also of our concern beyond points listed above.

Activision was forced by Ininity Ward, or whoever they are fighting with over CoD, to reveal in court several private contracts. Among them was the one with Bungie.

I'm sorry to ask but could you dig up the whole Activision V Infinity Ward thing for me and PM it to me...I'm powering down and I'll get back to you in 24hours or sooner.
