People seems to forget that Destiny is being released on the next Xbox, which complicates things quite a bit. So if I had to guess, the reveal of Destiny will probably coincide with the reveal of the next Xbox, which will probably happen before E3.


No it isn't, it is being released on the xbox 360 and PS3


Yes, but it is also being released on the next xbox as well. You're probably gonna see a lot of next-gen games being released on the current platforms for the first year or so.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Destint II is going to be on 720, not Destiny I.

Bungie is not going to throw away about 4 years of work.

"Destiny game #1, along with any related DLC release as well as Comet #1, shall be initially developed by Licensor to operate on and be compatible with the Microsoft Xbox 360 video game console ("Xbox 360") and the next successor console platform released by Microsoft."-Bungie's contract with Activision.


If you're wondering why we didn't see any Nextbox logo with that leaked art, it's because that system doesn't technically exist yet.



*by "doesn't technically exist yet" I mean it just hasn't been announced. And it's coming out on the 360 and the ps3 so I don't see what the problem is.

damn it I hope not

But if it doesn't exist yet, I doubt Bungie could do much work on a game for a non-existent console. Also they have been working on Destiny for 4 years (since early 2009 based on ODST), it is coming out on the 360

I am cool with that, but if Bungie has to re-port the game for the nextbox and it is better on the new xbox in terms of graphics and framerates that is going to be annoying.

That also means the game may not come out this year, which really sucks. But then again, a "new console" won't be out for some time probably.

But they have several years invested in Destiny making it for the xbox 360, scrapping all of that to be made on a newer system seems, stupid. Plus Bungie knows how to make the xbox 360 run a game the best way possible.

But you'll have bought the game for the 360 anyway in 2013/4? :-)

I don't see why they would delay the game for a year for a console that hasn't even been officially been announced yet when they could instead develop a compatible version or even a special "GOTY" edition.

No the issue is if they make it for a newer console, it could delay the game.

But, their contract says it is for the xbox 360/PS3 and I am sure it is.

They new they were going to make the game for three consoles when they signed the contracts. So they have been planning this from the begining and nothing will have to be scrapped. Also releasing on the xbox successor does not mean it has to be out the same day for both.

If they have been developing it as far back as ODST then I highly doubt they have been waiting 3 year for xbox(3) dev kits. It's going to be on xbox360 and compatible with the next gen Xbox or a special port will be made and bundled with every new console.

I don't think you have to be worried about the game being delayed by the new xbox. :-)

The Quest for 52 is a group committed to helping players complete all of the weekly challenges in Halo: Reach. We are committed to providing a friendly environment and organized forum in which players can discuss strategies for completing the challenges, help others with the challenges, and above all have fun completing the challenges!

I think Destiny will be revealed on 12/21/12. That's the day the Mayans said the world would end, and when that is wrong Bungie will reveal their new universe. Plus, the day can be divided by seven.

I don't want there to be a "superior version" of the same game.

Where the game will look and play better on one console than the other. I could understand if it was a PC release to explain quality changes but I really hope it is ONLY on xbox 360 and PS3 for it's first installment.

But they haven't had the new console dev kits for long probably because no new consoles have been announced. Hopefully this game gets released on 2013.

Just because a console has not been announced officially, does not mean official developers don't receive pre-final dev kits of the next console.

Here are the sections from the contract that seem to matter.

As described in the Native Release Plan, Destiny Game along with any related DLC Releases as well as Comet shall be initially developed by Licensor to operate on and be compatible with the Microsoft Xbox 360 video game console ("Xbox 360") and the next successor console platform released by Microsoft configured for both the NTSC and PAL television/video system standards ("Xbox 720").
The parties also currently contemplate the development and commercial release of Destiny Game #1 for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system in the Fall of 2014
the Xbox 360, the Xbox 720 and the PS3 are collectively referred to herein as the "Destiny Game #1 Platforms

Seems Destiny II will still be 360 compatible as well.
configured for both the NTSC and PAL television/video system standards
and collectively, the Xbox 360, Xbox 720 and PS4 are referred to herein as the "Destiny Game #2
Console Platforms"

So should we not even buy the game for 360 if a superior and better version is going to be released?

Do we have to wait another year for it?

This is going to be a tough decision now. I wanjt to buy Destiny Day one but I spend the money then a better version comes out in a supped up console.

I hope it is just backwards compatible and there aren't any perks for spending $400.00+ on a new console.

As for the release of the Xbox 720 it could still happen fall of 2013. The 360 was not officially announced until May 12, 2005 with release comming Nov. 21, 2005 only 6 months separating.

So my guess would for Destiny announced would be a teaser first quarter 2013 with more details after 720 is announced in 2nd quarter (if it is to be released 2013).

That kind of sucks

Now I feel like I got to get an xbox 720 to enjoy this game because it is being optimized for a console that probably has better graphics/etc.

Interesting to see how this turns out

It could be interpreted many ways. Those in the "It means it's going to be announced in 2013" camp are obviously feeling more and more validated with each passing day, though there's no reason they couldn't up and reveal the game before the year is out.

It just seems very weird to me that everyone immediately jumped to "they said see you starside 2013, so that's when they are announcing it". It seems backwards to me. I thought the common train of thought would be that it would be released in 2013, but maybe it's just me o.O
