So, a shooter huh?

First person or Third person? >_>
Second person with mandatory co-op. I get your character's perspective, you get my character's perspective.

Sounds both frightening and amazing at the same time. Particularly the whole backing out between game #1 and #2 clause, makes me wonder if Activision will perhaps... Not put their full effort into porting it to other platforms themselves in order to retain that freedom.

So the series will become multi-platform halfway through? Odd.

Yes, I found this odd as well.

CONFIRMED: Bungie's Destiny is a reimagining of Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote, set in the distant future. Players play as Don Quixote de la Mancha from the perspective of his sidekick Sancho Panza, as they do battle against Windmills.

Makes a certain kind of sense though. Bungie's experience lies on the 360 console- so if they make the first game for that, and if it's successful, then they/acti spend the extra capital branching it the other consoles once you know you've got a solid IP foundation

I expect a short teaser this year at E3. Also, passing judgement about this game right now, just by plans is stupid. We have no idea what this game is gonna be like. Bungie will more than likely make a good game. Let's hope so at least.


Bungie is well commited to their work, they have been proving it more than 10 years, I have no doubts, they will deliver an excellent game.

I just re-read the OP and noticed that the Marathon game is separate. I would say I hope it comes out before the first Destiny game, but with only 5% of employees working on it, that seems unlikely.

I also wonder if the Marathon game is the IP Marcus Lehto is working on.

I read the contract. Apparently, the Marathon game won't come out until Bungie has accumulated 375 mil dollars in revenue from Destiny, and I believe two Destiny games are going to be made before that.

So don't expect something anytime soon I what I read is correct.

The 5% of employees working on it mostly comprise the engineers who are always working on future projects, upgrading their game engines and testing out new technologies and code. Closer to the transition between Destiny and Marathon would be when all the writers come on, but for now it's entirely just future proofing stuff.

I assume you're talking about section 17 of the document? Halo 3 within the first 6 months sold 7.5 million units. While Halo Reach sold around 8 million units. But they both surpassed 6 million units within like 2 months. No need to worry their. Only thing that worries me in section 17.1(i) is that Activision has the right to terminate their contract at anytime after the launch of Comet#2, for any reason, it's at Activision's discretion. Now, the reason why this worries me, is because of the "Activision completion right". That ANYTIME after comet#2, if they decide to terminate the contract just because, they can then sublicense to third parties. (As I understand it, which would just be terrible.. especially if Bungie didn't breach the contract)

Posted by: POKEY CLYDEBut Destiny isn't Halo, an established franchise that's pretty much the Mario of Xbox.

Although really it shouldn't even be a thought that crosses my mind, Bungie makes money, Activision makes money, everybody makes money. But executive types be -blam!- crazy.

Yeah, 6 million is a hell of a lot of units for a new IP, especially one that might not be multi-platform (it won't be it sounds like, from the contract for at least a year, which means the clause that they must sell 6 million units within the first 6 months still stands).

However, if anyone can do it, Bungie will be able to. Activision wants to make money. Plain and simple. They have the marketting to do great things too.

"From the publisher of Call of Duty, from the creators of Halo comes an epic massively awesome multiplayer sci-fantasy action shooter game!"

That alone will get people interested. I'm sure what Bungie is making will also get a hell of a lot of people interested too.

You didn't read the contract then. >_> It will first come out on the 360, and should be compatible with the 720. However, that doesn't mean it will come out on the 720, and if it does, it will be long after Destiny is released on the 360.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Consider me intrigued.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

I bet "starside" was crossed out in the news article because they've decided to do something other than space now. I expect a cowboy game.
