Destiny Cost & Level Cap (let's get some things straight)

This is from Wikipedia also referenced as LA Times as a source: 1)COST:The contract outlined an agreement between Bungie and Activision to develop and publish, respectively, four Destiny games, with the first to be released in the second or third quarter of 2014. Bungie has a 10 year plan to build on the Destiny franchise the 500 mil is going to cover 10 YEARS of development. If divided equally per year we should see $50mil worth of content to possibly include multiple DLCs consisting of possible extra maps, equipment, story etc...Or like the example below the cost of developing the game will be close to $250mil per therefore covering possibly the first 2 games at least. Edit: To also add to this the average cost of developing AAA titles is inflating every year 18-28 mil per game. GTA V itself cost $266mil to make 2)LEVEL CAP:[quote]Level cap is not exactly 20. After 20, you collect items called motes of light from special raids, strikes, whatever that you can use to level up or purchase rare items. No one is sure of how the exact system works.[/quote] [quote]actually if you check out the viddocs2 in the ps store ( or xbox store ) in 3 minutes and xx seconds of the clip you'll see a level 21 titan using his defender subclass super - the shield dome... called WARD OF DAWN so I don't think it will be capped at 20 but the motes of light will probably get you to the next level(s) beyond regular leveling from experience..[/quote] 3)Reason for this post: [quote]And that's why I wanted to set the record straight. Misinformed players jumping the gun making claims that they were lied to in regards to the size and scope of the game not meeting their expectations. Who are they to judge when the only thing the public experienced was a small portion of the whole Destiny franchise.[/quote] If there's more to add let me know

  • It's not cheaper than 1 GTA title, it was cheaper than GTA 5. And I think that most of that 266mil was spend on advertising.

      Yea I'm not sure you know how the financial aspects work. $500 million is to start the franchise. The revenue that this game will produce will be huge. If your simply taking $500 million and dividing it equally through a 10 year period then you are just flat out wrong. At least half of that will go to the first title in the series. There's so much fine print in a contract like the one between Destiny and Activision for you to even remotely think you know what your talking about is ridiculous. And I'm tired of this NukaCola guy by the way. This dude has nothing positive to ever say. All ge does is talk sh** about this game (yes I know it's not the OP but he has another negative comment in this post). Why are you in these forums? I'm in here because I'm excited about this game and I want to hear and share good news about Destiny. All I see in every other post is your dumb ass bashing he game.

          • I hope it eventually stops being made on ps3 and xbox 360 so we can unlock the full potential of destiny in these next 10 years.

            • Activision doesn't say $500 million is the only amount they'll spend, they've just said that's what they spent thus far. Here's a link to the actual contract

              • Also regarding the level cap. I believe the first installment of Destiny is going to be capped at 20. I'm guessing Bungie will slowly increase the level cap with each sequel. This will allow for late followers to gradually catch up to the veterans of Destiny. Also on the topic of leveling I've read several times that the experience requirements to level up was significantly lowered for the BETA so in the actual release we should have a bigger gap between leveling up.
