10 year franchise =/= 10 years of the same game.

  • I would rather play Destiny with 10 years worth of updates/add ons than play Destiny, Destiny II, Destiny 3, etc. etc. This whole Call of Duty phenomena is capitalistically lame. 3 Different companies all making a game under the same name so there can be a new one out every year, LOL. Lame ass gamers and game developers.

  • It's not going to be a yearly release. I'd rather play 3 games in a ten year time span (like Halo 1-3) than one game that just continually adds new content without changing (WoW)

    To each their own. My preference would be to build on top of each other (think EVE Online & DUST 514). Look at the Halo Master Chief edition coming out, it is a compilation of all the Halo games, I would have rather had HALO CE still included and playable in Halo 2 and the both CE and 2 playable in Halo 3 etc. etc. We saw something similar with the SOCOM franchise (at least in online PVP) where all SOCOM 1 maps were playable in SOCOM II. Why take away content you (Bungie) spent years and lots of $ creating/developing? Just add more content, more stories, more maps, more featres, more guardians, more enimes, more weapons, more ships, more gear, more vehicles, more more more etc. etc. The more options and things players have to do, the longer they will stay around. How quickly and frequently does nostalgia set in and player say things like, "remember Damnation, now that was a good map" "remember Lock Out, not that was a fun map" etc. etc. Keep what you have and just add on to it, don't take things away from the players. At least that is my preference and hope. /rant

  • I can see your point, but a new game allows for a new engine, the ability to completely redo weapon statistics or skill trees, etc. Plus in a game like Destiny, it resets levels allowing for a fresh start, rather than having a newcomer enter the game and be 80 levels behind everyone else. There's always the option to bring back the popular maps via DLC. Maybe eventually we can get to somewhere in between where the new game could include the old, much like the Master Chief Collection.

  • I hear ya, it just seems like an awfully big waste of already created content, think of how many cool features could be added on if they were not reinventing the wheel and starting a game from scratch. (note I know jackshit about game development)

  • I agree it's sad to see content lost to the ages, but a patch can only change so much. Eventually the game needs to be replaced. Think of it like a car. You can replace all the parts but the frame, or engine in the case of games, eventually becomes outdated and rusted. At this point, you can do no more to repair it, and even though it had so many memories, it must be retired.

  • WoW isn't yearly... the patches are made every month or two and they add raids, dungeons, and new areas...the expansions come out every two years or so
