MS/Sony Fans: Pissed at Bungie/Insomniac (some not all, don't deny it :|)
MS/Sony : Who gives a fuck?


Sony just lost a niche second party.MS on the other hand, lost their biggest first party....


As far as I can say, Sunset Overdrive is Xbox exclusive and Destiny is multiplat...

It´s not like Destiny won´´t sell anything on Xbox. In fact, it could be the biggest Xbox game of the year. The same way COD was the biggest Playstation game but the GTA years...

True. Also I think Sony wants people to believe they are best friends with Bungie, but its probably Activision they deal with.


Supposedly Bungie helped with the DS4 design, along with GG. I doubt it was Activision in Bungie's place doing that.


Do you have a link for that or...?

People really do see what they want dont they? *looks at comments above*

Insomniac and Bungie alike are great studios that specific fanbases worshiped for years. You know it may do you all some good to enjoy games for being good rather than making everything a fanwar. Ill play both Destiny and Sunset Overdrive and enjoy them, fuck the petty bs.

No word about that was ever given.

However I suppose every major game studio helped both consoles with requirements and feedback.

How can you be mad at the company that made Xbox successful?

During an interview at E3 2014 Bungie Head of Community Eric Osborne revealed that, in fact, Bungie and Sony have been working together since before the PS4's design was even finalized.

Since the beginning

"Sony's been a really good partner all the way back to the beginning when we were first talking next-gen, and when we first started building Destiny," Osborne said. "We really didn't know where anybody was going, but it became really clear talking with Sony at the outset that their vision really aligned with where we wanted to go."

But it was more than their visions aligning - Osborne said Bungie even influenced the PlayStation 4's design.

"They worked with us, of course, on core systems and the controller itself - making it better for shooters, helping improve that for players, helping include and improve the social aspects of the game," he said.

Bungie was replaced by 343i to handle the Halo series, they lost nothing.


343i are not even close to being on the same level as Bungie, Halo 4 was the second weakest game in the series after ODST according to Metacritic, and was comfortably less well received than any of the other numbered entries.

The same thing happened with every major studio/developer.

There was nothing special with that statement.
