[quote]To be less coy than I was an hour ago: Jon Favreau is apparently directing some live-action trailer/advert dealie for Destiny.[/quote]
Rumors are rumors. Interesting nevertheless. Who is this [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Favreau]Favreau[/url] character, though? Apprarently he had significant directing roles in [i]Iron Man[/i] and[i] Cowboys and Aliens[/i]. Not the most notable credentials, but it's something to consider.

Screw live action. It always looks lame and is used to cover up lack of faith in a game.
-
Will it show #Destiny?

I really despise some of the news outlets for gaming and nearly collapsed laughing after several of them made comments about how magical it was that David Bowie released something under the radar. Loose Lips Sink Ships and its largely due to individuals like this who report anything and everything they hear. Obviously some things aren't real, but occasionally they hit the nail on the head. I really wish that the media outlets out there that surround the game industry, as well as others, would cut the crap and quit reporting "leaked" items. I know they're popular and can give an outlet the edge, but they really should refine their sense of what it means to be a journalist. Here's hoping this isn't actually factual. I'd rather just be surprised by something badass.

I doubt that will be the announcement trailer
-
If this is true (doubtful) than it is probably for a Super Bowl ad, which is in two weeks.
-
Sounds fake. I'm going to take this with a pinch of salt.

Favreau has about 700 million dollars in total film budget for the movies he has made. That speaks for itself on his credentials. Besides, Neill Blomkamp did the Halo shorts and was going to be the director for the Halo movie. Had never done anything with a budget before. His debut feature-film? District 9, one of the best science fiction films ever made. Credentials mean nothing.
-
Sounds fake to me.
-
Please no. Live actions trailers are awful.
-
Superannuation annoys me. His entire schtick revolves around leaking things that game developers and publishers are trying to keep quiet. He needs to go do something better with his life; how about producing or making something real instead of just being a blabbermouth?
-
Do not want. Live action trailers of games are interesting because they transfer virtual content into the real world. But we have very little iconography or even content to see in a live action trailer of Destiny. It'll all be relatively new.
-
I love how everyone on Bnet is overhyping this game. I'm getting ready for some quality disappointment.

Awesome! I can't wait at all! :-)
-
Cool, I wonder how soon.
-
Cool. Hope this isn't real, As i'd rather be surprised

Edited by Cobravert: 1/17/2013 6:31:56 PM[quote]Who is this [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Favreau]Favreau[/url] character, though?[/quote] I don't know. Who is superogatory? Who is superannuation? What do they mean, and why should I care? My point is simple. I hate the fact that any and all Bungie game related stuff that should be announced, hinted to, updates, any dang thing that has to do with them or the game they are developing SHOULD BE ANNOUNCED [i][u][b]HERE[/i][/u][/b]!!!!!!!!!!!! I get so tired of social leaks of info here and there, teasing a handful of devout followers with morsels of 'maybe we will, maybe we won't' and leaving the whole of the core of people who do have interest in what happens here out of the mix. There is an entire site HERE that is more than capable of saying 'Hey, we're doing something! Hope you enjoy it!', than some vague whomever popping out tidbits of info to tease their 'followers' with just for the sake of whatever it is that tweets are for. /rant

Sweet.
-
He also made Iron Man 2 before leaving. He was also in that Daredevil movie.
-
Favreau is pretty awesome. He's the dude that gets thrown up on in [i]I Love You, Man[/i].

You forgot Elf!
