Me too... Though IGN said they made it to be less mature than Halo and more accessible to kids. That sort of puts me off.


The pictures put my mind at ease. There are tons of good movies and video games that don't require f-bombs every other word to be quality. Bourne Identity, Skyfall, Portals 1 and 2, Skyrim, etc.

And we all already love Halo despite the fact that it has Teen levels of violence at best. As long as it's handled appropriately and not like Mickey's "Son of a Gun!" in ODST... it should be fine.

I don't know about you, but that IGN comment seems really contradictory to the feeling I get from looking at the concept art. If that is less mature than Halo, then Super Mario is one of the most mature games of all time.

Nonetheless, the concept art looks really neat. It's not quite my style, but I'm still considering putting it for my desktop background.

Couldn't be more excited about this. While it sucks Bungie isn't able to showcase things at the pace they'd like, it is nice to have my favorite developer get me excited about gaming again

I agree. Past experience has taught me that 'making it more accessible' and 'appealing to a wider audience' usually means making the game dumb-blam!- easy and zero learning curve.
Depending on the sort of game it is, learning curve may not be a factor. I think from the info, and I hope I'm correct, that cooperation and exploration with friends will be a much stronger focus than competition. I can totally live with that if the exploration is a awesome as the concept art makes it look like it'll be.

Looks decent, but the whole 'social' thing makes it sound like an MMO as previously rumoured, and that's a huge turn off for me. I like the concept art.

I'll wait until the first trailer and proper exposition before I get hyped or disinterested. With Jason Jones and Joe Staten working on this (which to the best of my recollection hasn't happened since Halo 2, which has the best story in the series) the plot and universe should be good.

As a footnote, nowhere in the synopsis did it say the game was catering to different demographics or children. It said it'd 'awaken your inner seven year old.' That alone implies the demographic is adults. It means it'll capture your imagination the same way everything did when you were seven; an epic quest you forge.

Hopefully that's not just marketing bull.

I have not been to bungie.net in about 2-3 years, and then lo and behold, a reddit post mentions the screenshot and here I am.

Jesus, this site hasn't change much at all since the Halo 2 days. Wow.


You havent seen the Flood yet. *shudders*

Wort, wort, wort!

The concept art looks great. And about the whole "mature thing", I think that the journalist might've been misunderstanding the "inner seven-year-old" phrase. Truly, the joy of exploration and finding out new magnificent things is the joy of a seven year old, and the game might be mature.. We'll have to see. Concepts look great, but the game is nowhere near completion. I have to say I like the premise, even though it's basically Halo and Marathon... with a twist! Fine with that. Bungie is good at sci-fi stories with some really great (Marathon) storytelling.

Awesome

I'm psyched as hell, can't wait to see whats in store for us.

Can Anyone confirm that Bungie new game is in fact called Destiny? Or is it just a code name?

  • 11.28.2012 8:50 AM PDT

A simple life.

If death is what you want, then I'll gladly offer you a cup.

The only thing that brought me down was IGN saying the game will be less mature and will aim at a more wider and casual audience...
I mean....that just completely killed the mood.

  • 11.28.2012 10:00 AM PDT

Wake me when the jews are gone.

Im loving it, but the dirty and i dont know, Steampunk? design put me a little of, i like clean, geometric shapes better for Sci-Fi militaries.

Served in the UNSC army since Halo 1. Now awaiting deployment in Bungies new game.

i just love how bungie announces new things.

  • 11.28.2012 10:15 AM PDT

enh I'm not concerned with the whole IGN review. I think of it like movie critics, I like most of the movies they hate -- so what do they know?


But I wonder what the title of the pic "thirdtimesthecharm.jpg" is referring to.

Bungie has finally released Destiny stuff! Let November 27th, 2012 be a semi-important day in Bungie history! Speculation starts...NOW!!!!!!!

November 28th for me.

;D

Meh, just a drawing, they look like Sandpeople from Star Wars.

  • 11.28.2012 11:48 AM PDT

I like this. It looks very interesting. Perhaps an FPS/RPG MMO hybrid. Would like a real one (don't like Firefall at all) and Planetside 2 is more war and fighting, not adventure like this seems to allude to.


Could be fun!
