Subject: What is up with Bungie...

Disregard Females, acquire currency.

And making their games 500-700 years in the future?

We now know that "Destiny" will be 700 years in the future

Marathon was also 700 years in the future.

and Halo was 500 years in the future.


Are we missing something? Are they predicting the future? Are they ancient aliens trying to tell us something? Also is it possible that Destiny and Marathon are related?

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I predict -- like their other games -- immense amounts of Marathon references.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

I don't know, they've already used up a lot of the really cool ones.

Isn't there a Marathon reboot being made?

Maybe they'll reference Halo.

Since you can't reference Halo in Halo.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

They like the future you can do more, Create your on world, universes. Your not confined to the modern or the limited. you can create what ever you want as long as its not extremely far fetched.

Because people like seeing cool, futuristic, shtuff. It's also much more fun to blast apart aliens than just some other dude. :)

Because 1000 years is too mainstream.

The future can be anything you want it to be. It is easier and much more fun to tell a story when there is no limits.

  • 11.27.2012 8:02 PM PDT

Break the windowsill

Its far enough in the future where you can imagine quite a bit, but not so far that we are completely different.

700 years. Sounds like something Bungie would do.

Also they can introduce futuristic technology, while keeping the story believable.

Hey I am a big Bungie fan ever since I played Halo 2. I love the series, I love Bungie. I have made a few Bungie logos in my metal shop.

It is their style.

A modern setting leaves less for the imagination, and artists, to play with.

I like to think that they are fans of seeing what becomes of Earth and us in the distant future, and each game universe is one interpretation of how things might be.

  • 11.27.2012 10:15 PM PDT

Maybe Marathon is the Comet to Destiny's Destiny.

Marathon == DLC?

It's rather romantic to think we'll be so high tech in a matter of only hundreds of years. But hopefully, we won't have to worry about global armageddon, galactic annihilation, or intergalactic slavery...

Is Bungie legally allowed to leave Halo easter eggs in Destiny? Would they have to get permission from Microsoft since they technically own the IP?

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

The like the future and what it could entail?

Nah. They are just giving the government ideas for the future.

I hope this one is a little more up to date. Nano machines, life extension, anti-matter weapons and the like.

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.

A long enough time that there are enough advancements in technology to have cool weapons and space type futuristic things. But not too far into the future, because you don't want to build that much history. Like if it were 5000 years in the future, Bungie would need a backstory for that 5000 years.

I'm just glad Bungie doesn't center it's universe around America.

In Halo, things on earth were set in Africa, and in Destiny the last city is somewhere in the Phillipines (it seems), more specifically Puerto Princesa (from Sonic John's thread).
