This does not mean that Destiny won't be a little akin to other genres. Like molecules, different game genres can share similar elements. And obviously, my claim (like many currently on Bnet) is based mostly off of speculation, but the Bungie-Activision contract does give me hope to my theory. In said contract, Destiny was described as an MMO but would have a sequel every other year. I believe Destiny will go well beyond the MMO label. How many AAA MMOs can you name that [will] have a sequel every other year? There is a reason why WoW has only had three or four expansion packs since it's start in 2004. To be clear, I am not claiming anything specific. I simply believe that Destiny will go where no game has gone before.

I doubt Bungie is trying to create a new genre. Not saying Bungie can't create a new one.

I get the feeling it'll be similar to Halo in that it'll have a strong campaign, but with a more expansive multiplayer bordering on MMO in terms of freedom and connectivity, but not quite a full-on MMO.

It will certainly be new to consoles I think. I remember in the 'O Brave New World' video (I think it was that one anyway) Marty said he doesn't really understand it yet, which got me wondering what it is they were up to.

Sci Fi based MMO? Eve Online has been doing that since 2003. Given that we know nothing about Bungie's new project, you can't really compare the two.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Bungie should make a 4PS (fourth person shooter). Its better than a third person shooter and a first person shooter!

Alternate reality game role playing game real time strategy first person shooter massively multiplayer online role playing game? Let's just shorten that a bit to make it a real thing, shall we?

MMOARFPRTSSRPG. Massively multiplayer online alternate reality first person real time strategy shooter role playing game. I prefer this because it has "MOAR" in it.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

The Activision-Bungie contract confirmed Destiny as an "MMO-Style Shooter". The game will most likely be FPS or TPS (probably the former), but Destiny could be start a new sub-genre of shooter.

2nd person shooters are where it's at! It's a shooter where you play from the perspective of another character looking at you. [MORE INFO]

I don't know, but I'm really excited to see what Bungie has in store for us.

EDIT: Just saying....but didn't Mojang create a new genre when they released MineCraft? I mean, if a small indie company can do it, then Bungie sure can.

I definitely think they're going to try something bold and new. Whether it's enough to create it's own genre is based on your own definitions and is ultimately meaningless.

I think people here are getting their hopes way too high for this. You shouldn't expect Bungie to deliver a god tier game that creates an entire new genre that will define a new generation of gaming. If you do that you won't be satisfied with anything less. That's not fair to them at all.

We don't really know exactly what it is past what was described in the contract. They said it was "MMO style gameplay" which doesn't mean it's necessarily an MMO but, at the same time, many people have created open world games that could be described as that. Don't go in expected no less than the second coming of Christ in video game form.

I believe they are gonna bring a incredible new game style. Bungie is pretty pro about this.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I think they will make a new genre of games with Destiny.

  • 05.30.2012 1:14 PM PDT

I believe Destiny will mash together a lot of elements but it will be in a league of its own.

When have they brought an incredible new game style? Don't even think about saying Halo because there was nothing so radically different about it that it could be considered a "new game style".

  • 05.30.2012 1:16 PM PDT

I honestly don't know, and no one else does either.

I am just going to wait for the game to be officially announced, and released before I make any judgments.
