I always hoped Bungie would do a Halo-MMO, This seems to be it. but without the Halo.
im intrigued by it, i Hope they can make it more meaningfull then just a largescale FPS like PS2 is
-------------------------------------------
Control is an illusion!
The only reseaon they arent putting the mmo name out is because the genre has a bad reputation in the gaming community especially by console gamers. So instead they just say shared persistant world which pretty much means mmo using different words. Hell thats the definition of mmo if you look it up on wikipedia.
I really doubt that their decision to call it a shared world instead of MMO is because the word MMO has bad reputation with console gamers. I play consoles a lot and i never heard or experinced this bad rep you are talking about. Maybe they are going for the same scale as rest of the console shooters and don't want to make a MMO so avoiding the term all together.
I read peoples comments on gametrailers and there are a lot who doesnt like mmos and friends i know in real life and its because of the gameplay the average mmo has is the reason why they dont like it for instance my friend who is a console gamer said he cant stand how boring mmo combat looks and he hates the camera angles and such. And you have to admit the genre does have a bad rep because of all the crappy generic clones that have been coming for the past 10 years.
i hope so too although im already sold with the third person perspective and large scale.
Concept art and you are claiming "its going to be huge" and the other games you dont like are a joke lol you are part of why I hate this site.
They've already confirmed no subscription fee. It will also not be free to play, confirmed. It will have a definite cost to acquire, though price details weren't given.
They very clearly want to differentiate from MMO, and are adamant in the "shared world shooter" term.
If you don't understand what it means to have the full 300+ person strong Bungie team fully devoted to this game for already several years, then I think you will be blindsided when more information and footage is revealed. Bungie was developing Destiny before they finished Reach.
It is far more than running and gunning across different parts of a battlefield. The networking technology they developed for this will be staggering. The UI will be breathtaking - did you know they won't have a main menu?
This is a game they decided they want to make and grow for the next ten years. If that alone doesn't strike you as a very powerful reason to follow it, then you don't know Bungie and are clueless about Destiny.
Well i am glad you got all that information from a trailer that hardly shows anything and what you read on the internet. You are right rest of us who are actually waiting for some more information before jumping on the hype train are just clueless..lol!

Well, pretty much yeah. I mean if a trailer that only shows art and character models is the only thing a person knows about a game, then it's fairly easy to guess they're clueless about the game. There have been a few trailers, some intervies, community questions answered, articles in magazines, etc. If a person knows the official information that's been released and talked about already, then they have those clues, and aren't clueless.
It makes sense.
Dust might have its lore. But Bungie has ALOT more experience desinging shooter games. they are not restricted to certains things Dust will be. Also bungie is already a known developer for the console market. CCP on the other hand???
Most ignorance is always self inflicted. Videos of actual gameplay have been out for weeks.
Even without the videos there is alot of information on what they are trying to achieve with Destiny but like always haters gonna hate.
From what I understand it's some kind of lobby mmo hybrid with a facebook like system tagged on. That's really unappealing to me but the artwork is fucking stunning. I dislike halo but I've never seen a game with art like this. Gonna keep on eye on it.
About the lore:
How much backstory and lore can we expect in Destiny?
Generations worth. Good luck uncovering it all.

The above was from the March Mail Sack
Also, to Bananaramaa - it isn't a lobby MMO at all. In fact, they want an incredible, seamless experience. That's why there isn't even a main menu, and why they are working so hard on the UI. Players are matched seamlessly in a natural way without menus or requiring button presses. It just happens.
Most pure console gamers don't even know what "MMO" is. I have planty of friends who've never even thought about playing one. From a marketing standpoint, there's really no reason to use the acronym for a console market.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.
All a person has to do is start at the official site to find out what this game is going to be. Also who ever said this game would compete with something so irrelevent as Dusk 514 is totally clueless.

Funny you should say "haters gonna hate" because I wasnt hating on the game I was actually commenting on you hating on 2 games that are already out and making lofty claims of how this game was going to do what the other 2 you were hating on didnt do-even though that is still yet to be seen because this game hasnt been released yet and sorry a few game play videos doesnt crown a achievement.
And if you listened to their gamespot interview videos they have already stated that you wont see hundreds of people in an area and that they are not making a mmo.
