This weeks Wonderpod covers two major announcements in the world of gaming. The problem was It felt like we were left with more questions than answers. That didn’t stop the Wonderpod crew from creating an interesting discussion out of the mess. Hit the button and will move forward.
Bungie has a new game and its called Destiny.
Sony unveils the PS4 controller and not much else
Seriously thats it.
Oh wait there is one quick thing at the end of the show
Better listen.
I find it somewhat surprising that many sites, blogs and social media post are " upset" or "disappointed" in Bungies sneak peak. If they only went to the official site they would have known, from the very start, that this was not going to be anything more that the first glimpse of the new Destiny universe. Bungie never said they would show off the game play/ levels/story/etc, and they did not. They did exactly what they said they were going to do, and that was offer the first peak at the Destiny Universe. If people actually listened to what the developers said they were going to do, there would be no disappointment.
It will be interesting to see how Bungie's new baby turns out. I have heard some rumblings from Bungies forums that actual " Halo like" online Multiplayer matches WILL exist, only they will be completely separate from the game itself. Sort of like how the story in Halo 4 was separate from the Multiplayer and Spartan Ops, I guess.
Speaking of Spartan ops, it almost sounds like the story mode in Destiny will have levels and missions that could be sort of like the 50 levels in Spartan Ops, only instead of being separate episodes and missions they are all streamed together in a massive universe.
All I am concerned about, personally, is the fact that I just wont have the time to sit down for an hour or 2 per day and play it, that's not the games fault, it is life. For example i didn't even get one session of Spartan Ops with the G man this week at all.
Now that it seems that the game will be launched on BOTH current gen and Next gen systems, it makes it more difficult to figure out which one to get. Can players play together if they have it on different gen systems? If not, more people will play it on the current gen for sure.
As for the PS4? Looks decent but I never have been a Sony fan and really there was nothing here to make me change my mind and go away from the Microsoft/ Nintendo consoles I enjoy.
