Bungie's New Game is an MMOFPS Called "Destiny"?

Rumors abound.

According to the source, Destiny--which is codenamed Tiger in development--will run on an entirely new game engine and will sport "unique online connectivity and matchmaking technology." The source said Bungie's MMOG will be "WoW in space."

Thoughts? Will this game be good? Bad? Will you buy it? It is all just a hoax, masking the final step of the plan for world domination?

Edit: More articles.

Bunch of lies.
It's a mirror of a Kotaku post, which really seems to be a bunch of yellow journalism.

I'll have Bungie know that my ideas are COPYRIGHTED!!!

I doubt it, though looking at their track record, an MMO isn't out of the question, but I don't think their new publishers would of signed up for it, as they already have Blizzard to fall back to in that department.

Activision probably wanted what we all expect, something kinda similar to what they've done before, just with a clean slate and some fresh ideas.

except activision doesn't own bungie. they just take care of publishing

:ILC:

An MMO on console sounds pretty good though.

I'm down for it.

Sounds like shit. I'd burn bungie if they did it.

its actually covered in the oft-ignored DMCA lol

I doubt this. While Bungie may be working on an MMOFPS... I highly doubt they're aiming for "WoW in space" -_-

The article said that Bungie refuted the "ex-employees" claims of being... well... an ex-employee. I'm guessing it's just someone who dislikes Halo and has made it one of his life goals to make everyone else feel the same.

I might look into the game if it turns out to be true, but MMO subscriptions tend to be grossly overpriced. I also doubt it would be console-based.

Not console-based, but multi platform most likely.

seriously?

Bungie was a major part of Microsofts server-less console MMO study....

no reason why this can't be a console mmo

It's far more difficult to do console MMOs if I remember from past readings. It COULD be console-based... but I doubt it.

If the rumors are true, I have faith in Bungie making a good MMO on console. However, that comes second to The Old Republic

actually, microsofts study, which is available online somewhere, actually showed that its entirely possible for a client-side MMO to run on consoles without requiring anyone to have a super internet. The biggest thing is just that most MMOs rely heavily on the use of panels and hot keys.

They have an MMO (maybe more?) for the PS3. So I don't see why they can't for the Xbox.

The 360 has had at least 2 already: Phantasy Star Online and Final Fantasy 11

Well, you see? There you go.

Mind you Phantasy Star Online was awesome

It was the best JRPG i've ever played.
