So Bungie is making a new game with a huge budget, here are some details that will blow your mind. Starting with some concept art from IGN to get the general idea of the looks. http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/11/28/destiny-story-details-concept-art-leaked Details: Largest open world game ever made Populated by more than 50,000 NPC's NPC's run on RealAI™ technology that allows players to communicate them and ask questions via keyboard/voice recognition NPC's have memories and can remember what you said Hundreds of different vehicles Fully functioning physics simulated machines mean player can make their own vecicles and weapons from scratch including the engine and/or propellant Over a dozen fully populated cities, each several times larger and more populated than Liberty City or Assassin's Creed's Rome Buildings are completely destroyable, no permanently locked doors Each room, from the lowest basement to the last floor on the tallest skyscraper is completely accessible and explorable by the player Fully simulated ecosystems, economy, and politics If you over hunt the beasts in the forest, that could lead to overpopulation of herbivores which will in turn devastate the plant life and cause an increase in CO2 levels causing global warming and the people to worry which will let liberals get elected into office Entire planet is spherical, no loading screens and no artificial barriers Scattered over the world are over 1,000 books on physics and engineering written by volunteer physicists from several universities that allow you to educate yourself on the in-game physics and literally build space ship to view the planet from outer space Fully implemented collision system meaning if you sprint at somone you lose your balance and fall in real time physics Gameplay moves in real time with the option to sleep to progress it Guns and weapons need maintenance in order to work efficiently, guns with jam if mishandled Realistic kick back means the gun wont shoot up into the sky when full auto, just get harder to aim Even if half of this stuff makes it into release, I'll be fucking amazed.
Bout time they did something different. Looks incredible! If concept art is anything to go by the game will be massive.
Halo Universe. One of the most amazing sets of lore out there and has only been growing better and better over the years with massive backstory. Sadly Halo the games never really scratched the surface very well and had boring (in comparison to what could have been done) story. Hopefully they can actually make use of their awesomeness.
I know bungie was being ambitious with their ideas when they first started talking about this, but holy **** man, this sounds amazing. And bungie is one of the best devs to do it too!
