Looks and sounds awesome. So what if they didn't show a lot, it'll come.

 

[Alej]

This scene looked great.

2009's Killzone 2 looks better.

Bungie is giving MS the breakdown of the game

MS: "Wow sounds awesome we definitely want a timed exclusive option"

Now:

--Contract has changed--



Stupid phone double post sorry guys

 

[stalker]

Jeff Gerstmann: "they didn't really show us any game".

This is a good summary of this reveal.

 

[Psi]

I laughed at the iPhone ad.

 

[Plywood]

Still intrigued, not hyped. Gonna need to see more and those graphics are rough around the edges, hopefully it gets better as it goes.

 

[imotep]

lol h4 has some of the worst textures I've ever seen on xbox...

Not too much hyperbole in that sentence.

 

[slightconfuse]

where is his stream? It doesn't seem to be on twitch.

When they first showed Halo they showed a long gameplay demo, showing off the world, the shooting mechanics, and the sale.

When they first showed off Destiny, they talked to us about how great it was for 5 minutes and then showed 5 seconds of middling graphics.

I'm seriously annoyed right now.

Early reveals suck, lol.

 

[Ravensmash]

Why does it look like an Xbox 360 game? We know it's going to be on next gen consoles. Why the hell wouldn't you show us the best looking version?

Because the next gen consoles haven't been announced yet.

Looks interesting, I'll follow this because I'd love a true MMOFPS :]

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Starting to get really exciting listening to the giantbomb video.
Also, a few post up.. I believe that's actually a tablet interface for the game.

 

[Magpul]

Wait... It's only 15 after 10am. It's already over? So much for stealing some thunder from Sony.

Considering it's for the PS3 and 360, I don't see how that could have been the goal.

 

[Navidson REC]

These textures looks horrible, PS2/Wii level. What a underwhelming reveal.

Halo 4 looks way better, Destiny is not even close. I don't care if ít is a open world game, this is shocking.

Bad screenshot, IMO. Definitely looks better in motion.

 

[CambriaRising]

Yup, thats a shooter game.

 

[Gorillaz]

Havn't they had people working on it since halo 3/ODST? like they had some people lay out the foundation since then?

 

[MooseKing]

Destiny. Where you need to compress the GIF's to 400X200 so it can look like it came out in 2008.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

In what way do people think it looks as ambitious as PlanetSide? That's what I wanted, but the brief seconds of a couple people running around corridors didn't really inspire hope.

yeah thats what i was hoping for but with all the talks of dungeons and stuff kinda deflates my hype will have to hear more about it but kinda meh on it

 

[Miles Quaritch]

the italian IGN preview says that You can play offline but probably you won't like to do it.

Hmm, IGN US and a number of other sources are hammering home the point that it requires an online connection at all times. Strange they';d get such a vital piece of information wrong.

 

[dimb]

It's hard to imagine a more obtuse way of presenting a project you've been working on for so long.

 

[Backfoggen]

Jeff Gerstmann: "they didn't really show us any game".

Cool, don't even have to watch that video now.

 

[BloodMoney]

Gotta say, i'm not a Halo fan... but this sounds/looks pretty badass. Can't wait to see gameplay!

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

I hate replies like these, it's all about the graphics? Go watch Avatar. The scope and ambition for Destiny is something special, who gives a damn about the textures in an early version of the game then? Give me a break.

Graphics are important to me, yes. And I don't even like Avatar.

 

[rosaceadude2112]

That was like the SNL skit where it's a commercial for some company and it's just a bunch of vague descriptions of doing great things then it ends saying, "We don't know what we do either."

Thanks!

 

[RedAssedApe]

So, we went from massive anticipation to "yo those pre-alpha shots of the current gen version look bad"? Totally ignoring all of the other details of the game? The scope? The ambition?

That's kind of what happens when you don't actually have any game to show.

 

[Psychoward]

I skipped to near the end of the video with Jeff, he said it'd be shipping 2014.

Edit: Around the 33 minute mark.

 

[shungokusatsu]

Pretty underwhelming, but I suspect they're holding back until next-gen consoles are officially unveiled.

 

[Sojgat]

From eurogamer :

No offline play. Always online drm confirmed.

LOL current platforms included. This is their big plan?

Well this has been handled poorly then.

 

[Plywood]

Because it'll likely be a ghost town. eh

 

[RoKKeR]

Bad screenshot, IMO. Definitely looks better in motion.

Agreed, doesn't do it justice. Considering the scope of the game, for a current gen console what more do you want?

 

[Mr.Wreckless]

You expected Bungie to reveal the next gen consoles before MS and Sony? Haaaaaaa

 

[kingocfs]

It's hard to imagine a more obtuse way of presenting a project you've been working on for so long.

Seriously. Whoever is running PR should be fired.

 

[Coolwhip]

Pretty much. I'm looking forward to the meltdowns when ps720 games don't look like playable Avatar.

Graphics are important to me, yes. And I don't even like Avatar.

I'm sure you realise this will be a large scale game on old shitty hardware. They have to do concessions.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Because the next gen consoles haven't been announced yet.

Couldn't they have waited a week?

 

[soldat7]

2009's Killzone 2 looks better.

^For Pete's sake^

My body is ready. This looks positively amazing.

 

[Krilekk]

So, we went from massive anticipation to "yo those pre-alpha shots of the current gen version look bad"? Totally ignoring all of the other details of the game? The scope? The ambition?

IGN says it's a mix of Halo with Borderlands. How is that ambitious? The stuff they are talking about simply isn't possible on current gen consoles.

 

[bbdude]

 

[Baconsammy]

I think they already did this.

In the future yes, but they made no mention of them today. It's all obviously PS3/360 footage...and it shows. Looks drab to me. Many of the characters remind me of Mass Effect races. If this video was supposed to hype me, it failed.

 

[Deadstar]

I hate replies like these, it's all about the graphics? Go watch Avatar. The scope and ambition for Destiny is something special, who gives a damn about the textures in an early version of the game then? Give me a break.

I would argue that graphics are a very important part of a first person shooter. You want to feel like your in a living world. If you launch a new game at this point, especially if it's from Bungie, it better be top notch in all respects.

 

[harSon]

I'm not too hopeful about the graphics. Bungee is much better at AT&T direction hat raw graphics, especially this generation. Their games tend to not improve graphically from the time of their announcements, and you could probably make the argument that they look worse by the time the game actually releases. I'm interested in seeing what they do from a gameplay standpoint though, although I'm not sure if this type of game is going to have any staying power.

 

[Perkel]

Yeah, developers circle-jerking for 6 minutes on camera is not the most effective way to convince me that your game is awesome.

It does the opposite.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Bungie, you have a fantastic art style in your games, the thing is that you should've shown it on next gen consoles to get people more hyped. I'm sorry, but that was underwhelming and disappointing.

 

[Slayer-33]

Hahaha

 

[Agent Ironside]

We all know why we're in this thread. It's ok bros, our thirst shall be quenched on wednesday.

 

[Izick]

Also, I'm really excited to hear Paul McCartney's score!

 

[ironcreed]

Damn, let's at least wait for some proper gameplay of a more complete package. There simply was not really enough shown to either love or hate. But I will say that I hope it does not end up being too ambitious for it's own good.

 

[Y2Kev]

I hate replies like these, it's all about the graphics? Go watch Avatar. The scope and ambition for Destiny is something special, who gives a damn about the textures in an early version of the game then? Give me a break.

Give US a break. Don't care about graphics? Don't comment on them. This is so infantile.

 

[Jhriad]

So, we went from massive anticipation to "yo those pre-alpha shots of the current gen version look bad"? Totally ignoring all of the other details of the game? The scope? The ambition?

Planetside 2 is more impressive from a competitive multiplayer "scope & ambition" perspective than anything shown or hinted at here. And it's been out for months.

 

[dalVlatko]

Jeff - "they really didn't show us any game"

lol

 

[shinobi602]

So, we went from massive anticipation to "yo those pre-alpha shots of the current gen version look bad"? Totally ignoring all of the other details of the game? The scope? The ambition?

I go based off what I observe. Yes it sounds great on paper. But hearing you have to always be online and seeing really underwhelming footage deflated my hype instantly.
