Bungie's biggest lesson to learn from Halo to Destiny?

[b]"Bungie's Brave New World." | [/b] [url=https://www.bungie.net/7_SGA-Master-Archive-Thread/en-us/Groups/Post?id=61330820&groupId=39865#referred-][b]Thread 1 of 7 [/b][/url] It's Super Good August! To kick things off, [url=http://www.edge-online.com/news/what-bungie-learned-from-making-halo-and-how-it-influenced-destiny/]Bungie was featured in today's issue of [i]Edge Magazine[/i][/url]. Here they discuss their hopes, dreams, ambitions and what they plan to take control of in Destiny. Three quotes in particular stuck out to me even just in this article: [spoiler][i]“I think we did two things well with the Halo games. One, we told a story that you can play by yourself or with a small group of friends. And two, we made a great hardcore, competitive game."[/i] [i]"Between those two poles there’s a vast gulf of opportunities but a lack of choices. We want to very carefully bring those two communities together and open up those choices.”[/i] [i]“The big lesson [from Halo] is: if you don’t have a plan for the future, you’re scrambling to catch up with your own success, this time we’re planning for success, and that’s enabled us to imagine a future where many things are possible. It allows the plot a long arc, which is great. In Halo we certainly didn’t have that. We planned for an eight-hour experience then, two years later, figured out another eight-hour experience. This time we’re thinking about how you grow and evolve this world over many years, many hours. It’s a whole different mindset.”[/i][/spoiler] -Joseph Staten We had two distinct, yet cohesive worlds in Halo: The world of single player, lore and fiction, and then the world of multiplayer, competitive carnage, in your face -blam!- and an entire community waiting to unfold. But now Bungie asks "[url=http://i.imgur.com/XRo5PPc.jpg]what if.... we combined our Halo mindsets ... together[/url]?" Bungie has been pushing for this unified world of Destiny that will fulfill all gaming needs. Whether it's competitive multiplayer, loot gathering, single player exploring, vehicular combat organized chaos through factions, groups, clans and much more. In your personal experience of playing Bungie games, what is the biggest lesson Bungie needs to learn from Halo to Destiny? What is going to be different [i]this[/i] time around? How is Destiny going to take everything that Bungie learned and spin it on it's head again? Super Good Advice: [b]Beware of ringing phones[/b].

  • [quote]“The big lesson [from Halo] is: if you don’t have a plan for the future, you’re scrambling to catch up with your own success, this time we’re planning for success, and that’s enabled us to imagine a future where many things are possible. [/quote] I think this separates professional game devs from hardcore modding. I'm not sure about "indie" because Bungie is essentially indie and from what I know so far employees get stock options driving the incentive to create the best stuff. I think in some ways Halo 2 was the game that catapulted the studio to professional level and now with Multi-game/platform top Blizzard level with Destiny. The gaming industry has some growing up to do, and has grown much, but the thing is Bungie's character has always been in their games and it shows. The uniqueness and innovation with BNet integration for the community is appreciated so much. Soon fans will say "when's the next Bungie game" instead of Halo game. I consider Bungie to be an industry leader with lifelong learning and slow to hire quick to fire. What's going to be different this time is Bungie paving the way for lifetime game franchises while smaller, more agile studios, follow suit. By the way what happened to Bungie Aerospace?
