Bungie is aiming to create the next 'Star Wars'. Well at least Jason Jones says so:
Bungie is trying to "create a universe as deep, tangible, and relatable as that of the 'Star Wars' franchise"
That's a stupidly unrealistic goal. It's a lofty one, and everyone should aim for the stars, but knowing when a goal is out of your reach is important in the gaming business.
Trying to create a universe as deep and relatable as Star Wars is impossible. Wars is ingrained in the social consciousness, and has been so for 40 years. Professing that they're trying to make the next Star Wars is tantamount to shooting themselves in the foot: it'll build up too much hype.I just want Destiny to be different. Lucas tried something different and risky at the time when he made Star Wars, and look at where it is now.
