Last week AusGamers was invited out to Bungie's new Seattle headquarters to not only look at ll their cool Halo shit, but also their new multi-platform title under the Activision banner -- Destiny.

Skeptical as I might have been, and little as we were all shown, it was hard to walk away from such a promising presentation especially when ideas like a persistent online universe spanning 10 years, dynamic co-op, solo and competitive multiplayer along with stunning new visuals and lore up the wazoo were all on offer. By and by, this is the game you need to be grinding your ears and eyes to this year.

Closer to the latter glynd, but most likely even more than you suggest there

Has me interested though I don't own a PS3 or 360 and may not own any next-gen consoles for a good year or so after their release. Still, if they get it right and offer an ever-evolving persistent world filled to the brim with great lore and good gameplay, it could be cool.

sounds like they're trying to revolutionize the fps genre, so you would think they would at least release it on the platform that created it all...

looks really interesting, i'd consider suffering a console controller for it

if it actually takes off and doesn't just flop after the hype is gone after a few months

To be honest, I'd be pretty damn happy with a Bungie console version of Planetside 2 with some space combat and side missions like the "spartan ops" in Halo 4.

Bungie constantly updating with expansion packs with new planets/ships/vehicles/weapons/"spartan ops". Kotick would get his FPS "WoW" in the form of expansions rather than subscription.

Kotaku post's strange comment by one of the Destiny devs...

Destiny Dev Says “Nobody Plays Shooters” With A Mouse & Keyboard. Huh?

That game looks pretty shit.

Wasn't the quote actually to do with saying they somewhat re-invented the way shooters use health/shields/regen through Halo?

Concept art looks good, but I doubt it will be good. Just cuz it's Bungie and activision.

That's amazing, talk about living in a bubble.

When he says

"We made the game run without a mouse and keyboard. And now nobody plays shooters the way they used to play them before Halo ’cause nobody wants to."

How does he know? Did Halo ODST, 3 and 4 support mouse and keyboard, No. There was/is not even an option to use them on the 360 with those games. It is also easy to say that no one plays that way anymore if the machine that runs it is very common place and cheaper now then a cheap gaming PC, Especially second hand. What does he expect.

A lot of that wasn't clear Viper119, but we'll be given a chance to learn more about that stuff pretty soon

Looks like they have been reading a lot of Neil Asher. If they manage to produce a universe as rich and as compelling as his works they will be on a winner. I personally dislike Halo a lot. I have never been able to understand peoples obsession (outside of the excellent red vs. blue).
But the fact that they are attempting to produce something on this scale, with a ten year plan. I am both impressed and very curious. No one in gaming has attempted that. You could argue WoW, but they didn't seem to be planing a ten year story arc from the outset, more they just made it up as they went along.
If it is Rift ready then I am completely sold.

Would be cool if they did make a Halo Multiplayer Only PC game, something akin to Battlefield but with Halo stuff.
