Seriously guys, i was thinking about it again, how did it happen ? How is it possible that a game undisclosed during almost 3-4 years of dev can leak so easily ? It happen for Halo 3 and Reach(remember Tom Morello) but Destiny the game protected by Bungie fortress like no one, given to a so called "advertising agency" ?


I'm okay with rumors and stuff like that on an expected game (like for GTA V) but a leak with concept art ? of a new i.p ? Oh common, every precaution should have been taken by Bungie isn't it ? So don't you think it was intended for building hype ?

Well, i'm just sayin i'm really suspicious at this point...

I personally think the majority of leaks are intentional.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

Do not invite me to your private group. I will not join.

My destiny is far to great for any purse.

Sex is a sensation caused by temptation, a guy sticks his location into a girl's destination to increase population for the next generation. Do you get my explanation, or do you need a demonstration?

-bow chicka brown cow-

there was a leak? where?

Bungie has been legitimately leaked before (Reach). But I have no doubts that Destiny's leak was deliberate; kind of conveniant that 13 images are "leaked" online at about the exact same time an official concept art piece is revealed on their site.

Of course it was intended... game developers do it all the time then pretend they were accidents. It's a way of building hype. Ask any game developer.

  • 11.29.2012 4:40 AM PDT

It could have been, but if they do intend to show something at the VGAs I doubt it.

  • 11.29.2012 4:40 AM PDT

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

I don't think a few pieces of concept art are the best way to announce a game.

...

They released the concept art here because of the leak.

This ^

People have to understand that Bungie isn't working alone, or with just 1 company here; in marketing and publishing, you're working with multiple companies on multiple layers. Imagine if you, yes you, were working at a publishing firm as an intern, when you get given a folder to deliver, with an address from Bungie on it. What's say you open it to take a look, and find a heap of artwork of something completely non-Halo related, and epic looking.

Would you personally put the photos away and deliver them like you're expected to?

Personally, I'd take some photos first.

Bungie is known for intended leaks. The artwork was clearly intended to leak but the activision document wasn't.

  • 11.29.2012 4:55 AM PDT

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

It's pretty obvious that the vast majority 'leaks' are intended.

yay on the PC!!!

Yep.

According to IGN, they were the source of the leaks.

Aye. It seemed especially necessary given how little information has been released about it.

Remember Elk

I think someone snuck into the building with a grappling hook, a catsuit and sleeping gas grenades with the intent of finding out what destiny is all about.
