I'm cautiously optimistic; I'm reserving judgement until I've seen more of it, but what they showed me in that ViDoc looked like it could turn out to be a pretty good game.
Thoughts on Bungie's Project Destiny?

I like Bungie's work, I like FPSes, I like MMOs (particularly Planetside) and I have an Xbox.
Yeah, seems interesting. More of the same military space opera stuff, but that's kind of their thing so whatever. The actual game itself looks decent for an alpha/beta (unless that was scripted and amped up for the vidoc). Story seems interesting enough. Yeah, I'm interested.
Obviously I need more information, but as of now it looks promising.
Edit: Gotta love the fact that half the comments in this thread are people bitching about that one quote.

I am interested so far, On the website, there is a button to pre order at the top of the screen. I don't trust Bungie THAT much
Someone else own Oni now (take two I think) not sure but yeah... Wouldn't that be the best thing ever. I have so many fond memories, I liked the TCTF officers You know... before they go all evil If any of them died I would restart the mission to try and save them... Pretty sad I know :3Daystar Clarion said:
Before this release I was kind of interested in Project Destiny. Now, though, I can see it might not be as good as previously hoped. I'm worried it might come out too much like Halo. It was a great IP with a lot of influence, yes, but they dropped the ball and 343 picked it up, and released the first truly good Halo since Combat Evolved. Destiny seems way too much like Halo, and the general consumer is going to see that as well, and will probably figure that if they want to play Halo, they'll wait for 343's next release. Bungie will probably get the crowd of people who want to see if it's good anyway, they'll get people who think it is radically different, and they'll get the crowd of people who for some reason think that 343 stole Halo and that any Halo game not made by Bungie is a lie.
I'm very excited, there isn't anything they've revealed that I don't like. The concept is very promising, and pretty sure it will deliver.
If anyone else is excited, you can join the Destiny user group that I am totally not advertising right now.

I am very excited by this, I understand the need to be always online as it might not be an MMO as such but the game needs to be online to achieve what they are going for. I like the idea of a sci fi Skyrimesque experience but with responsive, intuitive combat. I like the idea of an MMO style, always on world but without the hang ups and stuff that MMOs have.
I am most excited by the idea of other players showing up as I explore either alone or with friends. It does seem like my sorta game, if I'm in the mood for co-op, solo or PvP play its all there, if I wanna just hang out, socialize and gamble etc in The City I can.
It seems awesome to me but I have faith in Bungie.
I think they can deliver

I was hoping for something that less Marathon/Halo-ish. I'd like to see them make a game not in space, like Myth. Of course, I love Bungie, and I'll be watching news with interest. If it looks good, I'll buy it after reviews come out, I think. So, yeah, I'm cautiously optimistic about Destiny.
I was intrigued, up until the MMO part. This one Kotaku article about it mentioned Journey, but you could play that game by yourself if you wanted to, and if Destiny won't let me do that, I'm out. I don't want to play with other people, dammit.Frieswiththat said:
I was mildly intrigued, until I saw the ViDoc.
Oh, the vid started out fine, but it quickly devolved into a lot of buzz words, vague ideas, grandiose promises, talk of current or antiquated tech as if it was "new, cutting edge, and revolutionary", and an incredibly pretentious circle-jerk of "We're Bungie and we're fucking awesome because we copied a bunch of ideas from other designers, claimed we invented them, and released a commercially successful game".
Add to that the lack of a PC version or even a hint of interest in supporting it (at a corporate level), plans for a 10 year monetization model for the series (already? pretentiously presumptuous much?), and Mr. Jones comments and I've little, if any, interest left in Bungie's latest venture.

I am cautiously optimistic. They have been working on this since 2009 and will probably be released either at the end of this year or the start of next year so they have had time to work on it. The concept art looks good and the background plot is Space Operary enough to suit my tastes. However we really have only seen concept art and very little game play footage and i am not a huge fan of MMO's But I am willing to give this game a go as it does seem to be a bit of a change from the current FPS's of the day and i would like to see that.
I would have also liked to have had it on the PC as well, not because i would prefer to play it on that but because i think it would be better not to have a console only market so that more people could play the games. this opinion is not just for this game but for all games in general
On a side note if i could have as much fun just playing by myself, with the odd encounter by other players, as if i was playing with friends then that would be even better

Considering what just transpired with Aliens: Colonial Marines and noticing the similarities in promotional music and styling, I'm not even going to pretend to be excited over this game. Promotions and marketing have become almost paradoxical with video games. As in, the marketers create a hype machine that is designed around generating excitement for the game, which leads people to create artificially high expectations of the game being marketed. Then when the game finally hits the best possible outcome is people are "satisfied" instead of being "impressed", and at worst "resentful" instead of "indifferent".
if i learned anything from this the trailer its how to talk for 4 minutes and not say anything
seriously we didnt get any info about the game or story here apart from some art work
