Subject: Chances Of 'Destiny' Being Showed At The VGAs?

My name is Mark Mezzetta and I was a beta tester for Bungie's game Oni and Take Two's game Myth 3: The Wolf Age.

It comes out in 2013 so why wouldn't why show something at E3?


Oh I have no doubt it will be shown, perhaps be playable, at e3. It'll be game of the show, watch. What I meant was the game won't be unveiled at e3 like so many think it will, it'll be well before that.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Pretty slim chance :/

Never give up, never surrender!

This post is kind of related but, a week or two ago I'm sure I saw Marty tweet that new music is being written, logically. But the reason I'm mentioning this is that judging by history, and my numerous viewings of Halo 2 and 3's Behind the scenes dvd's, the Music is normally done towards the end of Developement.

So I'd say a teaser or some kind of announcement will be soon. I just think that the VGA's are a bit too soon.

Your reasons for thinking this are quite understandable... Maybe, just maybe- It'll happen. But I wouldn't count on it.

Best case scenario: Destiny trailer at the VGA's AND Bungie.next

Worst case scenario: Nothing. Which isn't too bad.
What is Bungie.next?

Maybe a teaser, but I won't be satisfied until actual gameplay is released.

Sometime in the coming months, Bungie will be majorly updating the site with a new look. They have done it only a couple of times in the past. Bungie.next is a just nickname for the update.

The people saying that they're going to reveal it at E3 2013 are Plumb Crazy.

The VGAs, detestable though they may be, would be an appropriate place for a teaser trailer, followed up by the official reveal early next year in January to March. Destiny will be at E3 2013, but I strongly feel that holding off the reveal till then has no benefit and would only end with Bungie shooting themselves in the foot.

Bungie.next is so much more than just a new look. Its essentially a new website.

Halo Reach's world premiere was first shown at VGA's back in 2009, a mere 3 months after ODST launched. The Halo Reach forum was launched at E3 2009, six months before the world premiere. This gave early fans six months of speculation until the big reveal. Notice how the Halo Reach forum came out literally a year and a half before the game launched.

I predict that we'll be seeing something before February 2013. I'm with Hyle, if Bungie first announces their new project at E3 2013, that isn't nearly enough time to market this game. However, I'm not the guy with the marketing degree.

We're at the beginning of speculation all over again. At E3 I'd expect some gameplay in their new universe, not an announcement. We'll see what happens.

I imagine that Bungie will need to show show some gameplay upfront with this one. With Reach, we all knew what the gameplay was going to be generically like, and all we needed to be sold on was the premise.

With Destiny though, I don't think that just the premise of the universe will be enough to sell it. I imagine we might see a trailer more akin to Watch Dogs, where they try to simultaneously introduce us to the universe and the core gameplay.

Fans then visit bungie.net to realize their home has been transformed. Ok, I'll stop.

I think there is a very high chance of Destiny being at the VGA's. I don't really understand the people saying E3; if it releases fall of next year they're probably going to want more than a couple of months to show it off.

I feel like that they will never release Bungie.next or Destiny and continue telling us the same thing over and over.

I'd rather have invincible armor instead of invincible weapons >_>

Wait, if the VGAs are December 7th, then there is a possibility since of Bungie's obsession with the number 7. Bungie we figured you out.

I have very strong doubts about that. They wouldn't say "See you starside in 2013," for no reason, after all.

I don't find myself caring either way, and I'm ok with that.

All this massive hype around it is just setting yourselves up to be disappointed, no matter what it is or isn't.

We will learn more sometime in 2013, that is the only fact we know aside from the contract details.

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle- victorious"

The chances of Bungie releasing Destiny info at the VGAs is very slim. They will probably release a crap tonne of Destiny stuff at E3.

As much as I want them to be there, I doubt it will happen because of what Deej said.
See you in 2013.
People seem to forget that.

I'm thinking we'll actually see it at the VGA's.

If we're going to see the game launch next holiday/fall season, assuming no delays til 2014, then a VGA teaser makes sense.

If they start the marketing train now, they can achieve exactly what Reach had with a BETA in the spring, a full length demo at E3 and a launch in the fall. That type of timetable establishes a slow buildup until you have a full on marketing machine rolling at launch. Obviously, they may have different plans, but I think it'd be pretty smart.
