Oh god, we need this. Ever since the recent leak occurred, people who had no knowledge about the game prior have come out of the woodwork. It's annoying as heck reading the invalid speculation from them. The media has gotten so many facts incorrect to some degree it's driving me nuts. Links, huh? That's going to be a bit tricky, but if this thread survives it wil be worth the effort. [quote](a) a series of interactive entertainment software products being developed by Licensor based on the Destiny Property, [b]planned to be massively-multiplayer-style (i.e., client-based mission structures with persistent elements), sci-fantasy, action-shooter games[/b] (collectively "Destiny games".....) for poeration on the platforms and formats described in [u]Section 2[/u][/quote] This means it will be a Sci-fi action-shooter with MMO parts. (NOT A MMO) Hey, OP. Where did you get "MMORPG" from? Fix that, I've seen nothing to suggest that it will be a MMO (but rather a game with some MMO elements) and it doesn't even bring up RPG. Edit: Ah, thank you. The decision to make a PS3 version was made in January 31, 2011. [Edited on 12.02.2012 2:46 PM PST]
