What happened to "Not another Sci-fi"?
Of course it's more than likely that some press event was released by bungie that confirmed their overall intentions for their new ip, but what the crap happened to the giant romp about it being a HUGE step AWAY from ANYTHING pertaining to the Halo franchise? Like, How their next game wouldn't be a Science Fiction game at all, but something completely different with RPG elements?
Please don't get me wrong, this "Peek at Destiny" looks Frakin Gorgeous, I'm just as Boner-Blitzed as the next guy for Bungies next Awesomocity, but still, It's like they fell off the the freakin planet for two years, and then "WOOPS! LEAKS! SCI-FI! And look! Mysterious alien object floating over the last of humanity!"
(Granted that RPG elements can fit right into this premise...)
but still...
Am I alone? Or was anybody else just as surprised about all this as I was?

If I remember right, one of the earliest confirmed facts about Destiny was that it would be sci-fi. Shoot, in the ODST easter egg, "Destiny Awaits" it pretty much confirmed that Destiny would be a science fiction title. And who's complaining? Bungie is one of the only companies to venture 500 - 700 years into the future.
