The day Bungie died to me...

As everyone who's anyone will know the masters of development that brought us Halo are releasing an brand new FPS called 'Destiny'.

What has just been made public is that they're also releasing it on the Playstation.

What. A. Disgrace.

Discuss.

I was debating this exact scenario in my head the other day actually. The very RNG AI-like concept of Destiny will have is supposed to be unprecedented. Normally I would see no way a PS could play a part in this but I dunno man the future of these types of games is allegedly supposed to be total access from PCs/consoles/tablets and maybe even smart phones one day.

I wish I could sit back and say to myself OH these guys invested soooooo much money into this project surely they must have thought this out completely. That thinking is flawed however. Look at all the mind blowing budget films and games over the years that flopped and in the end we were all in disbelief so many truckloads of thousand dollar bills could be doused in gasoline and lit on fire.

Destiny is either going to be the most amazing thing ever or a VERY temporary addiction until TITAN comes out.

Its all about PC and Xbox. I hate PS3, at the very least because of the gay ass controllers.

Indeed. I can't hate on making stuff for other consoles. Was this PS3 exclusive? Or also for PS3?

Best to make for everything... More money and eventually we'll see more cross-platform gaming.

cross platform gaming will never be big.
sony+microsoft wont link xbox and ps3 imo. pc should not be linked with them for competitive games as pc has massive advantages to people with any level of skill

I've play games that were PC-Xbox. ie: Shadowrun
It's not nearly as bad as you'd think.

Also, you can buy adapters for Xbox for mouse and keyboard so not a huge difference.

PC <-> XBox gaming works only when your PC is Windows-based.
Games for Windows Live is a pretty solid cross-platform system, in my experience.

As far as the rest is concerned, the child of a tiger and a lion is infertile.

Majority market share? No way.. Xbox has matched Sony sale for sale, the only thing Sony has are a few more PSn users (20mill or so) but their service is free and utterly redundant next to XBL. Not to mention Xbox has by far the better exclusive games still on its platforms. Halo isn't dead or down, COD and FIFA often give exclusive content to Xbox, gears is still turning, i'm pretty sure there is another STAR WARS exclusive game coming to xbox arcade and they didn't have to bribe customers with a cheap blue ray player.

I'd wager alot of sony's recent 'success' in the race between the two is solely down to the decade of unrivalled success the PS2 had, it influenced many but there is a big generation of kids who've now grown up using xbox. Sony will not have that advantage next time round.

Unless microsoft make a mistake they're going to surpass Sony i'd wager, especially with the Kinect technology being perfected and integration with PC's. God help Sony if microsoft add in a blu ray.

It's good business for Bungie to go open like they have, but it's still a treacherous move that will burn alot of fans. Their games sales will increase due to the larger market but it'l be hit amongst xbox players, alot will flick them the fingers i'd wager (not myself btw, i'll buy the game regardless).

Re: The day Bungie died to me...

Better exclusives? The only thing Activision has with Microsoft is a deal to take out DLC's a month early for CoD. PS3 has the better exclusive titles by far.

And anyone who starts commenting on any future sales for Sony or Microsoft is talking out of their behinds. We don't even know what Microsoft has atm, we don't know the game library that'll be available to each console at launch, we don't know anything.

Better exclusives. YEAH! You telling me PS has anything to rival Halo or Gears? If you do then, you are in fact, talking out of your ass. The only title that even comes to compare is Metal Gear Solid.

We know plenty about Microsoft and what they're doing, go have a read, they're working on refining the kinect. We know Star Wars 1313 and Halo 5 are going to be out on the next Xbox as well as the new gears. I'm afraid to say that you've just called a portion of the financial world, as well as CEO's and heads of both microsoft and Sony as people who talk out of their behinds. It's their job to try and speak about how their company are GOING to perform. Furthermore it doesn't take a top level marketer to see how Sony have had their success with the PS3. BluRay and a previous decade of influence. They don't have that this time around and their company are struggling, it's not exactly a leap to be able to confidently say they're not going to truly compete against something as innovative as Kinect or exclusive titles like Halo or Gears.

You obviously know not alot about anything from what you've said. I hope that you can prove that comment wrong, but thus far i'll not be surprised when you can't. :smt047

Halo and Gears both aren't selling like they used to, in comparison to the time.
Playstation has Uncharted, Infamous, Resistance... and God of War.

I'm Xbox all the way, but Sony's no pushover in the gaming world.

Re: The day Bungie died to me...

Microsoft's been trying to make kinect an integral part of gaming for a while. They've failed so far.

Killzone, Infamous, Uncharted, MGS, LBP, God of War are all great games.

We know they're working on refining the Kinect, CES showed that much. We DON'T know if it will work out well. Assuming it will is talking out of your behind.

I never said xbox does not have good games coming out. Disregarding the games that come out on the sony systems and projecting that as a majority view is ridiculous though.
