Subject: Is Destiny an RTS?

-SM

It could very well have elements of many types of genres. I still remember wishing that Halo Wars would be a mix between RTS/FPS as in you could fly above the battlefield and control many units like an RTS, and then instantly select and jump into a unit and control them like and FPS.

Nobody knows for sure.
Yes we do. It's an MMO-like Shooter.

Bungie has experience with this RTS stuff, though. I do believe Halo 1 was originally meant to be a sort of RTS. I wouldn't doubt that- actually, I'm willing to bet that they're new game will have some sort of RTS elements to it.

See you Starside

Could be first and third.

Not really. Games like Fallout might offer the player the option to swap between the first and third perspective, but the game is most definitely designed to be played in the first person perspective. A nice option (especially because otherwise you'd never see your character), but ultimately it doesn't enable all the cool things you can do in the third person perspective that you can't really do well in the first person perspective.

Yeah sci-fantasy shooter is what the contract specified. That keeps my dream is alive. FPS or TPS is all well and good... but I'm holding out for a space combat shooter like the Long Night of Solace mission fleshed out into a full game.

With all the space references I really really hope for it.

Flight simulator in space with MMO elements?

Kill me now.

Wait, what if it's everything described above BUT you could also exit your spaceship once you land on a planet/asteroid and explore the planet/infiltrate the enemy base?

OMG

C'mon, the Battlefront 3 space battles there never was with massive player counts? Tell me that wouldn't be one of the best things ever.

I hate flight simulation games. Plus, it's a shooter. Not a flight simulator.

Well... I love them. Plus we both know that there is middle ground between straight flight simulator and shooter that could be labeled as shooter while still having space combat.

Heck ace combat I'd consider a shooter and a space game with shield and lasers (which I assume would be in a sci-fantasy game) would be hard to justify as just a 'simulator'.

When I think Battlefront or Starfox I think shooter not flight sim.

They have too much of an established market in the FPS area to go into a genre that would have flight simulation be a major game element. Plus, when's the last time a flight simulator did really well? Like, broke sales records, etc.

I agree on that. A FPS or TPS would be more traditional and feel safer. However I think with the marketing Activision is sure to help put behind everything they could hype a game like that.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

If I remember correct it is supposed to be a "sci-fi-action-FPSMMORPG".

As you can see from the contract:
Posted by: Starslde
"Product" or "Products" means the following that are developed during the Development Term (as such term is
defined in Section 4.1 a series of interactive entertainment software products being developed by Licensor
based on the Destiny Property, planned to be massively-multiplayer-style client-based mission structures I
with persistent elements), sci-fantasy, action-shooter games



This is officially what it will be.

Taken straight from their contract

It mentioned nothing about it being an RPG or FPS.

What you see with me is what you get. I would rather be hated for what I am than loved for something that I'm not.

I am who I am, not who you want me to be. Your approval isn't needed and your opinion isn't required or desired.

Unknown for now.

Aforementioned metaphors with semiconsious ocean laws.

I would love to see another RTS, maybe they will do what they originally planned for Halo CE and have it be a hybrid RTS/FPS.

As I remember, something came out of the LA Times article. It said something about Destiny being an MMO FPS.
