Destiny at VGAs? Next-gen launch title?
It's a known fact in the gaming industry that new IPs don't get very far nowadays on current generation consoles, which means it wouldn't be too crazy to assume Bungie knows this and wants to wait and release Destiny alongside the next-gen consoles as a launch title.
This time period is by far the best time to ever release new IPs, and with all the rumors of the consoles coming in 2013, it's possible we could see a debut trailer at the VGAs coming up soon. Since Bungie likes to announce their games about a year before release, this seems reasonable.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] POKEY CLYDE Destiny 1 will be made for this generation. Millions upon millions of gamers have this generation of consoles, being exclusively a launch title won't get you many sales, because a very limited number of gamers have the new generation.[/quote] I definitely get what you're saying, but I never said it'd be released exclusively for that console; of course that would be a terrible idea. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ecartman1214 I keep seeing people post about porting the title between generations of the console. We don't know the capabilities of the new Gen Xbox. It could have limited backwards compatibility much like the Xbox 360 has with Xbox original games. Being said the contract merely says the game must be compatible for both systems, it doesn't say Destiny #1 should be developed for the Xbox 720.[/quote] I remember seeing Cliff Bleszinsky slip up saying you could use your current Gears of War 3 copy on the next-gen console. Definitely a hint that at least select titles are being considered for backwards compatibility. We'll never know for quite a bit though, so lets just keep hoping.
