@Gue1: The mentality of cows are a interesting thing. Destiny was hyped beyond belief by its devs and since it was bungie people ate it up. But, let's forget what just happened recently and continue to believe devs?
the disrespect is real. How dare you compare a studio like ND with multiple multimillion selling original IP's to a one trick pony like bungie?
Destiny never even looked great to begin with. It only had a bit of a nice art-style and that's it. ND push the envelope with each game they make since the PS1. That you can't appreaciate it, well, you need a degree of intelligence to appreacite their achievements.

Crash Bandicoot was a revelation back in the day by pushing graphics and such fluidity in gameplay that most developers thought it was only possible on the N64.
They did it again with Jak & Daxter on the PS2, they were one of the first devs that pushed new graphical techniques like bump mapping that most devs thought it was impossible on the PS2.
And then then they did it twice on the PS3 with Uncharted and The Last of Us when everyone on the industry, including Gabe Newell, was telling Sony to ditch the PS3 because it was a piece of shit.
That your bias and fanboy goggles doesn't let you see things as they are is another story. But ND are the current elite of the elite of the industry.
Agreed. But Bungie are amazing. Bungie are every bit as good as ND (well, were). But nobody can code like Naughty Dog. They max out the hardware like no other developer out there. Crash was one of the first 3D platformers ever with Mario 64. It was so new to them back then that they called it "Sonics Ass" since the whole concept of 3D platformers was alien to the industry.
Jak and Daxter also pushed 3D platforming even further again with Mario Sunshine, and later on, Ratchet and Clank. But Uncharted really only made a more polished Tomb Raider game. The graphics by Uncharted 2 were fantastic though and definately shocked people and made them re think how powerful the PS3 really was. It's because they were using the hardware properly unlike EA, Activision and Ubisoft who just wanted to get their games on as many systems as possible without any intricate use of the console hardware.
All this talk about Crash and Jak & Daxter really makes me want for Naughty Dog to go back to their roots and make a new epic 3D platformer as well, that would be awesome.
