Analyzing the past couple of months...

We all know and love Bungie and understand their potential. They have created great games in the past and I will forever be thankful. If we go over and analyze the marketing and announcements of Halo: Reach, it's very simple. At E3 2009, they released a teaser trailer. At the Video Game Awards, they released a world premiere trailer. And then all in 2010, they dropped ViDoc after ViDoc and new trailers that showed off the story and multi-player all the way up to it's release in September. If we look at Destiny so far, we never received a teaser trailer. In fact, the first thing they released was a ViDoc. The reason for a ViDoc is to inform the public of the indepth creation of the game with some new info. They used a ViDoc as a reveal which is very different. The next trailer they released was the PS4 Announcement trailer. As of then, they never showed a trailer that went solo. I don't think I can call the ViDoc a trailer, and they used the PS4 announcement as a backing for their first trailer. For me, this is all quite strange. Once GDC came around, they released a character development video that was actually really great. Still, I don't think I can call it a trailer. And most recent, they released a CG/Live Action trailer that was made for the media. Of course adding a famous actor, that just so happens, was in my favorite television show of all time, really boosted the trailer and made it quite popular. Some of this makes a lot of sense, but some does not. At E3, they will be going straight to gameplay, showing off Destiny and how amazing it is. I have thought about all of this a lot lately and for the past several months. Many of you know Destiny was leaked, and I was thinking Bungie was using the accidental leaks as type of Teaser for the public. Or maybe Activision has had a big piece of the marketing and is having Bungie release info very differently for some weird reason. Once game devs start releasing stuff you can assume when the game launch will be. Like Halo: Reach. We all knew September 2010 right after they released the teaser. But for Destiny, we are all still not sure. With the idea of gameplay at E3, we could assume it could release this year. But no other game dev in their right mind would release a game the same year they announced it. So then we think it would release early 2014, but Bungie has never released a game early in the year and has always likes to do it in Sept of any year. So, the speculation continues. In my honest opinion, at E3, if Bungie shows an actually playable demo of Destiny, Destiny will release this year. If they only release a gameplay trailer, it will most likely release early 2014, even though that's very strange for Bungie. And I ask you, my fellow community, has anyone else been thinking about this?
