Meanwhile in the universe forum...
This: Bungie's new game
And this: When did Destiny development start? Some interesting research...
TL;DR
A new hybrid genre with a single persistent universe that is cross platform, possibly cross generation and multi device enabled which mixes MMO, RPG, FPS & RTS elements. Read the first thread above for more speculation.It almost sounds too good to be true.
Sure, am I speculating an insanely massive feature-set, networking model, game engine and platform deployment...hell yes.
However, looking at examples of re-purposed developer assets from consoles to the iPad, other game engines like Unreal Engine and a new 10 year universe from Bungie (where they've already stated "bigger than Halo") I'm struggling to not see most of this in Destiny's lineup.
Don't forget they Bungie could pull an Epic with the Unreal engine and create a business model to deploy other developers or indie developers into multiple platforms, servers, websites etc. It makes a lot of sense for their game and as a platform engine supplier.
After all why invest such enormous resources into development then not resell or re-purpose it?
