Bungie, 'Destiny' link established

Who knows what these guys are up to, but I think It's about time for a remake or sequel of Oni, Bungie's pre-Halo silent success. And don't have a stroke when I say this, fanboys, but that was a PS2 game =)

@townsforever That because you know Bungie just for Halo. It was making great, and unique, games before that. Myth was awesome.

@FusionRain Yes i've seen that quote too, but plans change. Thats all I can really say. I'm not knockin on sony at all. I don't have a PS3 yet but its on my to do list. I'd be thrilled if it was never pay to play but I just see it coming. lots of people have said the same thing.

i have to admit though mmofps seems like a good idea, and with bungie at the helm (them whanting to do something different than halo) it might be better than mmorpgs (im no good at them) this will be about skill over level

@southernzombie I think I can quote Sony saying "you wont ever have to pay for online play" or something like that. It would be bad business to make something a top selling point and then take it away. Thats one reason why the PS3 mods started (not gonna get into detail). If Sony did decide to go P2P it would piss allot of people off. I bet it's tempting though because Microsoft is raking in so much cash off that. It really bothers me to see a fee on a fee. Maybe they should should...*gulp* make it free for xbl gold subscribers. Thats the only way I can see that working.... Then again how would Bungie and the other 3rd parties get the money? Thats a really tough call.

@Gamer_4_Fun Tell that to the world of warcraft subscribers, honestly if it's a MMO proper and it draws you in. I am all for "paying to play" put it this way cost of sub to a mmo or one game every two months?

@townsforever Bungie made many good games before Halo. I'm pretty sure they have the "originality" to make something new to gamers. I mean, this is why they said they are done making them, they don't want to be known just for Halo. Also, there is no question that this game will be on PS3 as well as the 360. They want to make as much profit as they can.

I'm not sure why people are saying this is a 360 exclusive. Bungie themselves has already stated that their next game will be multiplatform (for those of you that don't know what that means, that's most other consoles: 360, PS3, handhelds, etc.) This is a fact. The only skepticism should be as to what genre the game will be, will it take place in the Halo universe (which I doubt, seeing how they no longer have the rights to it), and whether or not it will be P-2-P.

It's probably going to be one of the many reskinned, maufactured FPS. Probably a reskin of the many halo's out there.

I think bungie is toast now that Halo is dead I doubt they have the originality to create something that's actually new to gamers, which is sad cause I loved Halo

budgie on ps3 and they relese this ??? naa its just BS

This better not actually be a Halo clone or a Dark Millenium clone. If it is ... Please just die Bungie. T_T

@ FusionRain I absolutely see your point, but it has been rumored for a while now that the PSN is going to start charging soon. They may be holding off because PS3 sales have been slipping lately but I think it is going to eventually happen. Times are hard for folks these days to have money to blow on video games, but I'm gonna wait to see this game before I say definitely NO i won't Pay to Play

The feeling is mutual with many of you: If Pay to play I pass.

Bungie, don't let Kotick use you guys and spit you out, you guys have been great and I don't want to see Kotick destroy you guys like he did with the Guitar Hero series.

I'm sure this will be on 360 which if it's a P2P MMOFPS then i'm sure it will be a bad move. You already pay to play online through XBL now pay to play one extra game... I don't think so. DC Universe Online is on PS3 and is P2P but you don't pay for PSN. Idk if it will be a P2P MMO but if it is and they plan to put it on the 360 they need to come up with something because I don't think many people will go for it.

Like everybody else, I'm curious to know REALLY (like, stated by Bungie themselves) what's going on. If it IS indeed an MMOFPS, I'll give it a whirl for sure. However, if it's "Pay-2-Play", you can count me out. I feel as though the wife and I already pay enough for our Live subscriptions and Netflix. I'd hate to shell out $x/month to play 1 game. This is, of course, my opinion on that matter.

love bungie just a bit worried with the move to activision and knowing the last four years...not naming any names here...

for free please

MMOFPS? Isn't that acronym a bit much?

sounds epic DESTINY

I hope it's fun like Huxley was during the beta.

Uggg look people, whatever it is I can tell you this: 1, it won't be nearly as cool as you want/think it to be, 2 they will charge you big time for the online service, 3 if it's an MMO it'll be just about numbers, not a great story, heavy on the graphics. 4 There will be lots of whining and moaning but ultimately it wont matter because you will buy it and they will make millions off ya. Ha I'm going back to starcraft.

MMO's aren't successful on consols, so it seems like Bungie has already ****ed up. To pay for Live (which in its self is BS) and Internet and then a montly fee... Nope! Not gonna cut it! I wish them good luck but I'm gonna have to pass.

am i the only one curious why they named their company Podophobia Entertainment? Fear of Feet Entertainment? lol

I'm not really into MMOs, especially ones with monthly fees (considering activision, it'll probably be $20 a month). What's the point of paying for a copy of the MMOFPS and then paying a fee each month when there are heaps of high quality FPS's out there that don't charge?

yes bungie games on PS3 thank you god!!!

This and a new Planetside? My MMOFPS thirst will finally be quenched!

@Phil-teh-Pirate I tried MAG and immediately dismissed it, t was beyond awful. I'd much rather play BC2 any day. More of a war with 32 people than MAG is with 256.

@strikezone311 yea I know MAG, but I don't really consider it an actual structured MMO lol.

IF and mmofps could work, nearly flawlessly, then it has the potential to be one of the greatest games in years. IF IT WORKS. That means there can be no mistakes. No heavy lag. Good clan/guild support. Balanced matchmaking where YOU decide what map and game style YOU want to play. I want to feel like I'm fighting an actual war, not life I'm playing rounds of lazer tag.

@Phil-teh-Pirate Dude MAG sucked ass, it was really slow gameplay, little action, and never felt massive, it was like 8v8 watered down, there was no communication to other teams either, plu the physics were horrible, it was just a bad game.

@strikezone311 Unless you've tried MAG then its very easy to dismiss it. One of the few games where teamwork counts and in this day and age of CoD auto heal and quick fire button presses, it takes alot more skill to master MAG with its HP system and skill benefits. I'm not surprised its not up there on everyones "Must have" list, but I guarantee every one of my friends who has tried the demo has bought the game.

@Gear64x Actually they did already make an MMOFPS for a console... MAG. Massive Action Game... it didn't get the greatest review and is a playstation exclusive, that may be why you haven't heard of it... but the MMOFPS has been done before. just sayin.

@mcmesk99 Technically your right, Bungie are done with the Halo series but the Halo series will carry on because it got transferred to the new company which has many of the old Bungie staff (343 industries) that Microsoft set up to carry on the role.

If it is a MMO this won't see the light of day until at least 2013, and by that time new console's should be around.

sounds like Bungie is trying to pull a Valve

sounds good to me

Not more matchmaking....being able to pick exactly what map you play (without votes) and what server you want is definitely overlooked by this company.

"the game will be like '[World of Warcraft] in space,'" So, basically a halo MMO -_-

activision is buying everything these days... lolol

@swamptick You dont have to read comments to actually reply to them. And you read and liked your own comment? Well done! -.-

@Sirobislost Try googling Planetside (you never said it had to be console based) not to mention there was another MMOFPS in the works for 360 at one point called Huxley. Whatever happened to Huxley?

Bungie has been doing Action FPS's for so long, I am very curious to see if they can stick the landing on this one.
