The story of destiny and the truth about the development

Hello everybody and especially hello @bungie, I found a video today which analysis trailers and gameplay footage of Destiny and shows what Destiny could have been. Unfortunatly it's in german so I will just sum it up for all of you. But if you do understand german watch the video! 1. At 0:58 You can see a guardian walking in the reef area which is nowadays only used in two boring cut scenes so this are was obviously cut out. The trailer where they showed this was released 1,5 years before the release of Destiny. 2. Afterwards the guy in the video says that he found a leak / statement by a reddit user which made a study about Destiny in 2013. The reddit user says that because of his study he got a statement from activision about the story which he was not allowed to leak by a contract but he still did. This is what they told him about the story (watch out massive spoiler, because this oculd still be implement by dlc's or Destiny 2: [spoiler]In the second mission of earth Crow (the Awoken brother of the Queen) will threaten you and knock you out and bring you to an hidden base at mars where you will meet guardians which fight the traveller, because actually he is the evil. He took mankind's technology and brought the darkness with him. He uses the speaker to hide everything. From then on you fight alongside them against the traveler and the robot hunter girl you still meet in the story in the released Destiny is also part of the Team. [/spoiler] At 1:48 in the video you can see a few scenes of a cut scene where exactly that happens... at least the threaten part. This scene is from a E3 Gameplay-Trailer (10.06.2013). 3. At another E3 Gameplaytrailer 2014 (!!!!!!!) so only 3 month before release you can see at 4:12 7 story mission located at mars and one of them in the Terminus area which is empty today! In the released version are only 5 missions available. So it's obvious that they cut them out. 4. But they didn't only cut missions out they als changed and scaled them down. At 5:15 you can see the gameplay reveal trailer from 3.07.2013. In this scene you see the first mission of the released Destiny but it's different. At that time you were not revived there you arrived by ship fully armed but which is much more interesting: At 5:24 you can see that the area is much larger. The whole area at wall is accesible while at 5:38 you can see todays version. There is only a big hole so you can't walk around. 5. They also changed the story afterwards from 5:55 to 6:38 you can hear the original monolog of dinklebot... for comparison you can here our version at 6:40-7:08. These few seconds give the bot much more personality than he gets in the whole game today... He is sarcastic and has a personality. 6. The same video from 8.7.2013 also exists with commentary of the developpers and listen what they say: 8:03-8:19... it was possible to gamble for armor AND which is much more important to buy them from other players! This is espacially interesting because at this point the game was already 4 years in developpment but on 22.08.2014 bungie gave a statement which said that this was never included in the game and that they won't do it becuase player should make there own stories how they get their armor. You can read the statement at 8:38. 7. At the forum of destiny.bungie.org (destiny fanpage) there was a post from General Battuta which says that all the Grimmore cards where written a few month before release in a massiv sprint (readable at 9:55). In another post he calls himself the writer who was responsible for the cards and that he got this job FEBRUARY 2014... so only half a year before relase (readable 10:08). 8. And in the end you can hear again some promises Bungie made about Destiny which they obviously didn't keep 11:07-11:26 & 11:37-12:30. All this implies that between the middle of 2013 and early 2014 some major changes happend. Something must have went wrong... and here is the answer: [url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/70895980/0/0[/url] Thanks @the original poster. Luckly for me (and you) this time it's in english. It's again a raddit user which says he is one of the developpers and explains some of the cut content... After reading and watching all this I wish I could play the game which was created in 2013 and enjoy all the stuff which they promised... The video and the statement make me sad and angry at the same time. Destiny could have been the epic story which they promised it to be. Of course some of this could still be fake because the statements of the two reddit users and the guy with the study didn't reveal their true names so it can't be checked. Still for me all this sounds plausible and makes sense if you check our game which feels so incomplety at so many points. Let me here your comments about all this. And @Bungie... I guess you will never read this and never give a statement but seriously I would prefer to know the truth. You guys made awesome games before with at least a decent story. I would prefer to hear that you had problems during the development and that stuff happened which you couldn't foresee than that you just made so many awful decisions. Regards, Rawne PS: None-native speaker here... please don't mind it. PSS: Please share this as often as possible, I don't mind. Maybe we can get a statement.

  • Let's slow down a sec. They said it was a ten year project, with new content being delivered frequently. There's no reason to think everything the developed was intended to be available in the first instalment. Secondly, things get cut from games all the time, it's a natural part of development. Sometimes it's impossible to sustain good performance with certain features. Sometimes they are not ready in time for the release date. Remember Nintendo had to cut two whole dungeons from Wind Waker to release it before Christmas? Well at least in this case Bungie still has a chance to finish that content and deliver it. In short, most of the conspiracy theories about this game can be dismissed by two simple considerations: it's not unusual for things to get cut from games, and it's not impossible that some content was intended for later release.

    • Dlc released less than 2 months after the "full" game. That's bullshit. They obviously cut game content to resell it to players.

    • i think we deserve an answer from bungie an not this bullshit talk "it was work in progress and it can shange very fast" or something like this... i'm very dissapointed in the scale of the game.. it's seems so huge but u don't have much to do out ther in the wilds.. i do my weekly and nightfall after that the raid and thats it... sometimes i do pvp i hoped that the dlc brings atleast 2 more high raids(the game need rly more to do) and a couple of new strike because the strikes now are so boring and im sick of playing them over and over... dont know... they try to be something but after the jizzillion run trough it's lame... and pls mind that the nightfall and the weekly are the same old strikes just harder i was hoping strikes and nightfall are two completely other lvls/stikes at first bungie laughed about our fear that the game is to little with not much to do and they said " it's the biggest we made so far" maybe in map size but not filled with content. look where we are now ?! people get bored... the hardest strike get's fisted by two guys...and u want me to tell it's the biggest thing ever ?! and yet... i think the dlc is to short in content. maybe when the next dlc is coming in 1 month later... then it's okay... but at this rate... :/ a couple of my friends already left the game :/ i would love to see the game that we where promised... they have a lot to learn and i hope they make it better... soon sincerely LeonO_o on PS4

      • The game we have today definitely isn't what they advertised and sold to us.
