Forums - Gaming - Destiny to be Revealed in "a Matter of Weeks"

Hardcore Gamer

As Bungie is no longer working on the Halo series, fans have been clamoring to find out more about their next original title. While Bungie has thus far been locked down tighter than Apple before they started leaving prototype iPhones in bars, all of that is about to change. In “Bungie Community Theatre, Act Two”, a rather funny video with the british-accent sporting DeeJ answering fan questions, it’s announced gamers will be able to explore an entirely new world in Destiny very soon — “within a matter of weeks”, infact.

It’s been speculated that the game could be a Xbox 720 launch title, so this unveiling could certainly go along with that timetable — especially if the console is announced as expected in the next few months.

Check out the full video below:

Certainly would be quite a coinkydink otherwise :o

Just swap out the faces with Bungie people. Destiny is multiplat and Feb 20 is exactly "a couple weeks" from now.



lol if it's Sony exclusive.

Current + next-gen title seems obvious as X360 devkits are still standing front and centre in the Bungie Test Labs.

this is activision we are talking about, it won't be.  but if destiny is indeed a next gen title ps4 will get a bit of an "early mover" advantage as i doubt they'll mention ms's new console until ms officially announces their console.



Destiny Game #1 / Comet #1
Planned platforms: Xbox 360, Xbox 720 (unofficial name)
Possible platforms: PlayStation 3

- It seems Bungie and Activision were supposed to decide on the technical and business feasibility of a PS3 release no later than March 31, 2011. Considering that Bungie has been hiring PS3 developers for a while (and still wants applicants with PS3 experience), I imagine they decided to go for it.

- The PS3 version is required to have “quality and feature parity” to the Xbox 360 version and is targeted for a Fall 2014 release, a year after the 360 version. While Bungie cannot be required to release the PS3 version simultaneously with the Xbox 360 version, there don’t seem to be any contractual restrictions on the developer doing so voluntarily. I’ve seen a lot of complaining online from people assuming Microsoft paid for a timed-exclusive release of Destiny on the 360. Judging from the 2010 contract alone this does NOT seem to be the case – it’s merely a result of Bungie having seven years of experience with the Xbox 360 platform and little to no development experience with the PlayStation 3.

Destiny Game #2 / Comet #2
Planned platforms: Xbox 360, Xbox 720, Windows-based PC, and PlayStation 4 (unofficial name)

- Of course, this is all dependent on technical and business feasibility studies for development on the above platforms.

- Both the PlayStation 4 and the PC are NOT mentioned in the contract as possible platforms for Destiny Game #1. Likewise, the PS3 is not included in the possible platforms for Destiny Game #2, although that might just be dependent on its status as a Game #1 platform. Apple’s Mac OS is not mentioned at all. Platforms for games #3 and #4 are not detailed.

Remember, this contract was signed on April 2010 and is subject to change.
