Halo Developer Bungie Reveals Destiny and Its Vision of MMO Gaming

Posted by samzenpus on Monday February 18, 2013 @04:16AM from the future-is-now dept.

MojoKid writes "Bungie, the company that brought forth Halo, is embarking on development of a new MMO title called Destiny that is aimed at being unlike any gaming experience we've seen. There are few hard details available, such as a launch date or pricing, but Bungie gave a preview that teases the game and showed off concept art. It's a large-scale MMO set in a post-apocalyptic world, but the gameplay and social interaction is supposed to be far more natural and fluid than previous generation MMOs. There will apparently not be a subscription model, so gamers won't have monthly fees to deal with, either. Bungie plans to develop a complex storyline with Destiny over the course of the next decade. There will be 10 books, complete with a story arc, so it follows that the world will evolve in a manner of speaking even as people participate in activities to change things within it."

Bungie seems to have immediately taken to making interesting new ideas once free of Microsoft. Who could have expected that?

An MMO that is controller only.
An MMO that isn't coming to PC, because no one likes to use keyboards and mice anymore.
The shark, it has been jumped.
