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

The name's Ian, Game Designer at Whisper Game Studios, very off-and-on Bungie.net visitor and avid Bungie fan overall. Message me if you wish.

Destiny 2 is a title for the 720. Destiny is gonna be a closer for the 360. And the odds of it being shown at VGA's are pretty good so hopefully we'll see some in action stuff.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

I think it's pretty damn likely now. But won't be surprised if nothing is at the VGAs.

Per Audacia Ad Astra!

One week ago i was like 50% of chance for Destiny to be shown, but now it's pretty clear it's up to 100%.

The question is will Bungie show actual gameplay or just a teaser trailer ? and if it's a teaser will it be in CG pre-renderd or real time ?

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

I think it's possible, but pretty unlikely. Bungie is about 50/50 on announcing their projects along side of big gaming events.

they could steal a show that is made to give props to the years best game, who cares about the years best game when you can see 'the future'

Bungie's always been a fan of showing off their game engine, both in trailers and in cutscenes, and I expect the Destiny reveal to be no different. Not only does it show off the concept of the game, but it shows off the strength of their engine.

As to whether it will show actual gameplay, that's up in the air. I imagine the trailer will give us a strong impression as to what the gameplay should be like, even if it isn't direct gameplay footage. See the Dishonored Debut Trailer.

Dishonored was also a new intellectual property, and they wanted to put their best foot forward with the trailer. The trailer introduces you to Dunwall with the plague, it's oppressive treatment of the lower class, and it introduces you to the basic premise of the plot. You're a dude who was locked up, but is now freed and given powers to get revenge against the people who wronged him.

The second thing the trailer does is give you a strong impression of what the gameplay will be like, even if the footage is not direct gameplay footage. I could tell immediately when watching that trailer way back when that the gameplay was going to be played from the first person perspective from the trailer's heavy uses of the first person shots. They show a lot of platforming and sneaking around, his main magical abillities which he uses to quickly take out guards, etc.

Expect the Destiny trailer to be along the same lines, I think.
