I know people will say yet another shooter and they might be right. I am really exited to see what Bungie and Respawn do for their next game. On the other hand Pacman (Pachter) is already prediting that the game would have its own subscription or micro-transaction model. So that is a bit of turn off on top of live/psn subscriptions next gen might bring.

Seems like ps3/360/720 are rumoured platforms for first game and than 2nd would be coming to pc/ps4/720. Where is the ouya version?

I don't know who came up with exclusive story to be honest. At most it could be timed exclusive to xbox. Bungie is now a 3rd party studio and signed a 10 year publishing  contract with Activision. To best of my knowledge Activison doesn't make/publish non-multiplatform games. I don't see why they won't want to make more money by launching the game on as many devices as possible. 

If Bungie really wanted to stick with XBOX brand they could have just expanded their studio and made a new ip for it. Microsoft would have loved to keep the talent under their company for sure. 

o.O. I hope it won't. If I already dished out $60 I don't want to pay again.

Let's see what they come up with. Subscription based games are a dying breed. Will have to something really good. 

@Basil. Yep doesn't make sense not going multiplatform. Look at Skylanders. They are making those toys games for everything possible and it has done $500 million in sales. Activision always the next big thing. Now Disney is trying to do their own skylanders with Disney Infinity.

No one came up with it, but it is exclusive. Leaked court documents showed a contract for the Destiny game. It states in the contract that the first release for Destiney will be developed for Xbox 360 and the 720 with a 2013 release. It then states that a PS3 verson (not PS4) would release a year later in 2014 if it is finacially sound.

Well leak documents are not a solid confirmation as you can see from next gen rumour threads. I can see it happening though as Bungie has good relationship with Microsoft. Also they have no experience developing for playstation so the extra time might help with the port if that is "financially sound". 

Just don't get their reasoning behind signing with Activision instead of Microsoft but who knows what goes behind the scenes. 

From what I understand it's a trilogy and the first game will be on 340 first and the 720 is planned. Bungie said they may port to PS3 if they have the time and money so if it sells well enough and they think it's worth it they will port it to PS3 later. The second and third games will be on both Nextbox and PS4.

I thought MS was publishing?

To clear things up:

Activision will publish it, but they made a deal with MS that the game will bet AT LEAST 1 year timed exclusive for the Xbox 360 or the successor. The contract leaked during the legal issues thing with Infinity Ward.

Totally forgot about some of the leaked details. Some interested ones. 

• Yearly franchise starting 2013-2020 - Seems like more and more of these now with COD/AC/BF-Medal of Honor rotation. 
• Activision can terminate the contract if game doesn't sell 5 million copies in first 6 months.  - Wow. So it pretty much has to sell better than Gears of War. 
• Game is targetting rating of Teen/Pegi 16. - This is interesting as most big sellers has been rated M. Could change though.
