They've made similar choices before, and each time, their next project was impressive.[/quote]Egh, I kind of have this gut feeling that Destiny won't hit that wow factor and will just be another game. :/[/quote] I have no preconceptions, no high hopes, no low ones lest I be disappointed. I just know how creative these guys can be, that they have grown and allowed for a great deal of "specialized expertise" to fill in areas that were previously handled by those who wore "multiple hats" and did great work regardless of their hat. I don't know if what made their past games so great was the small but incredibly flexible team they had, and I don't know if making the team larger, more specialized, but each specialist is INCREDIBLE at their specialty is going to have the same outcome. I don't know. I do know this though. Marathon pioneered a lot of things. Network FPS multiplayer Map editing Save films Immersive storyline Cross platform capability Myth then pioneered some things of its own. Real-time tactical simulation AI evolution Then there was Halo Seriously brought the FPS to a console Created a LAN and splitscreen MP phenomenon Halo 2 introduced Matchmaking, and RPG elements to MP Halo 3 refined the RPG elements and stat collection etc. So, when I hear that "we've been thinking about this current project for years, we think that we finally can make it work, it's really exciting, and we HAVE to keep is secret because (just like the Matrix) "no one can be told what it is, they have to see it for themselves in order to understand it".... all of those things, they have me...... patiently curious and in a state of relaxed hopefulness. I am looking forward to see what they've been working on for so long and with so many people.
