Destiny (Bungie's new video game) early details:
[QUOTE]
IGN says that Destiny involves an alien ship that helps protect a city from monsters
Details of Bungie's first game since quitting the best-selling Halo franchise have been leaked online.
The gaming website IGN has obtained marketing materials revealing it is called Destiny,
and aims to create a universe "as deep" as the Star Wars franchise,
The project had been one of publisher Activision's most closely guarded secrets.
It has a 10-year exclusive arrangement with the development studio.
Activision has previously told investors that the game would be "genre-defining" and prove to be one of its two "largest growth opportunities"
over coming years, alongside the Call of Duty series.
Following IGN's exclusive, Bungie reproduced one of the images on its own site and confirmed the leak's authenticity.
According to IGN the game will be set 700 years in the future, and feature battles with aliens to protect the "last city on Earth"
after the collapse of mankind's efforts to colonise the Solar System.
A screenshot suggests the first title in the expected series will run on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Bungie's most recent releases
had only run on Xbox systems.
A decision to build another sci-fi franchise will see Destiny compete with the developer's original series.
Microsoft has said it has plans for at least another two Halo games. Its most recent sequel, Halo 4, was created by its own subsidiary 343 Industries.
The series as a whole has generated more than $3.4bn (

The surface screenshots have a Lost Planet quality. It feels like this game is telling the same story with a massive amount of money, and marketing, behind it.

Destiny takes place on the planet Earth, but well into the future when a mysterious weapon destroyed most of the planet and its inhabitants at the end of humanity

I have to agree. When I fist watched IGN's video, the first thing that came to mind was Halo. Although, this still looks promising. Especially with what Bungie's president said about it, about it tapping into your inner 7 year old and making it more of a magical adventure.
Hope more details come soon.

Majorly bummed, I was really hoping for an early summer release date. Kinda surprised about the date especially since on November 14 they said the beta was coming in the spring.

Pretty hyped for this game, especially since I'll finally be able to play a game that's at least similar to Halo I've been on Playstation since the PS2.

I could give to shits about the story, I just want a MMO that has a skill curve like no other game before it.

Re: Destiny (Bungie's new video game) early details:
Of course it looks like Halo. Bungie IS Halo as far as I am concerned. With the direction Halo has gone, I would welcome a worthy replacement from the studio that made the game so great.

But with that comes a shorter life for the game. These days casuals aren't going to keep playing a game that takes a while to be able to do some real damage.
