CraveOnline: "As you may have heard, Bungie refused to hand out pre-release copies of Destiny to journalists, with the developer claiming that this would lead to reviews that were unrepresentative of its new FPS/MMO/RPG hybrid..."
Bungie veteran and current CTO, Luis Villegas, has left the company after fourteen years and has joined Sony PlayStation as its new Head of Technology.
"I feel incredibly lucky because as part of my new role I get to still work closely with my Bungie family."
New role and more pay and still can work closely with Bungie
Bungie - "Join our development team to see the new updates arriving with Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Releasing on June 4, 2024."
Amid ongoing anxiety within Bungie following layoffs last year, the studio is now preparing for another shakeup, this time on Marathon.
Talk about mismanaged Bungie is a studio of tremendous potential and have made some of the greatest shooters to date. Sony pushed them to just make another Destiny style game and consult on other studios live service games and are now getting thrown under a bus as the pivot away from predominantly gaas games is unfolding.
I'd love to see a world where Bungie can focus on telling great sci fi stories again away from a live service dungeon but we all know that's a pipe dream
This studio has had three owners and its never worked well with any of them....Management has issues
A whole lotta good!
There's definitely a big difference between playing socially and solo. In that sense, it reminds me of an MMO.
"unlike most RPGs/MMOs Destiny only really gets started when you reach that cap, as that’s what you can go on Raids with your friends and begin to unlock some of the game’s best loot."
Stopped reading. This is going to be the biggest problem for this game. MANY FPSer out there have NEVER played an MMORPG. Name ONE MMO out there where the game does not start until end game.
I think its exactly what I expected from playing the Alpha and Beta.... content will come as it gets old, I Dont expect to play the game 8 hours a day for 10 years but I'll probably play it to death and come back for the new content as its released. Its worth the price of admission , just an opinion.
I'm loving most aspects of it so far.
