I see Kelly has engaged in one of his text wall replies... while saying nothing of merit.. Do not forget this is the man that said player numbers have been amazing for a six year old game (without sunsetting note) And then said the only way the game can avoid death is by sunsetting... in the same thread...

Honestly how do people believe that Matter is even a priority rn? All these people are so confidently saying "they gave up on destiny they're prioritizing matter" How would you know? They got 100m all the way back in 2017 and NOTHING else, we don't even know if that would've fallen under Activisions ownership since at the time Activision owned Bungie, when Bungie split we don't even know if they got to keep the rights to "Matter" since they ONLY took the rights to Destiny with them. If they DID get to keep Matter, we don't even know if it's a game or if it's still something they're working on. Even if they are working on it, bungie has said already that D2 is being supported for a while now, we already have two DLCs lined up, as well as bungie saying they only intend to release a new IP by 2025 AT LEAST, though that was said BEFORE they announced that they're planning on working on Destiny for the foreseeable future. We already know that the CEO has said they WANT to be a multi franchise studio, but given their current situation and struggling to deliver content without High Moon or Vicarious Visions (rip) I'd say there's no chance they're dedicating the team to anything but D2 right now, that is if they want to ship three seasons a year. I just don't understand how people can say "they're working on matter" with such confidence when the only evidence we have of the games existence is a filed trademark and an investment from NetEase with an extremely vague message about building new world's.

The company that invested 100mil on bungie probably cares

They received 100 million and agreed to whatever it was tied to contractually so Matter is now their priority AND obligation.

Okay, I know the meme is to hate on Matter, but if it's a shooter and it's being made by Bungie the gunplay is about to be straight heat. I can't speak for the story or how it's gonna look, but that gunplay? Chefs kiss.

1. Not how this business works. Otherwise you'd never have any studio with more than one active game. 2. Matter is probably in pre-production. Which means that its only being worked on a small number of people, and those are mainly artists and future team leaders who are decidign what **kind** fo game it will be and what direction it will take. 3. Matter is not consuming resources that Destiny needs. a. The $100 million that NetEase invested in Bungie is more than enough to bankroll the game, and HIRE the people needed to work on it. b. The people that Bungie needs to create content and quality test it for Destiny, aren't being used by Matter. By the time you get to a company of nearly 1000 people, everyone has very specialized and clearly defined jobs. Bungie is not some 16 employee indie studio where people are forced to do multiple jobs (ala Hello Games and "No Man's Sky".) 4. The reason why Bungie is having this problem is because Activision wanted a cash cow. So Bungie was so busy running at top speed to create new content, that they never got a chance to fix any major problems, update any infrastructure, or develop new capabilities. Now that Activision is gone, Bungie is finally starting to address all these issues. TLDR: BioWare is about the same size as Bungie. Yet they are working on overhauling Anthem, and Developing two other titles at the same time (Dragon Age 4 and the next Mass Effect game )

has anyone seen anything about this game? aside form the title

Bungle has conveniently forgotten that the people they Screw over in one Game, won't be Customers in their next game.

It doesn’t “matter” what other games bungie makes, because of the way they have handled Destiny and Destiny 2 I will [i]never[/i] buy them.

Matter could wind up being a great game. Right now, to me, it doesn’t, ah, matter. I dunno what light hearted and whimsical means, and I don’t give a fart in space about the cosplay aspect — just sounds like overwatch envy from where I’m sitting. The fact we won’t see Matter for at least 4 more years, and they’ve managed to kill any interest I had in Destiny to make it happen. I had ridden with Destiny and hoped would improve over time and actually realize it’s potential. And it had so, so much potential. Instead we get half baked reasons for bad fixes to the wrong problems. Instead of the D3 we needed, we got some absurd calculus of D=(D1+D2+/-sDCV)Qls... (where s= seasonal and Qls is the heat transferred in the thermodynamic process of Luke smith trying to blow hot air up my rear.... ) They methodically killed the game I loved in an attempt to mimic success they’ve seen in other currently popular games, and did it in order to make a game that I can’t care for because I’ve lost the faith of what used to be my most favorite gaming studio. So, so disenfranchised rn...

Is anything known about Matter? What kind of game is it expected to be?

Looking at the journey Destiny has taken since D1 launch, I'm personally dissatisfied overall and have no plans to invest into another Bungie IP ever again. Generally I've been pretty turned off by multi-player games in recent years (the majority honestly seem to be cash-grabs and less about giving you a genuinely fun experience) so when Bungie are finished with Destiny, I'll be pursuing single-player games as I've realised that's my true passion.

[quote]Nobody cares about 'Matter'[/quote] Speak for yourselves. For all we know, Matter might be the best game ever. Until we know more about it, it would be stupid to dismiss it. Personally, I'm hoping Matter isn't another 'Games as a Service' game. Bungie are highly competent game developers, however 'Games as a Service' doesn't seem to be their fortee, since they obviously don't have the man power or resources maintain a game indefinitely. I think they are better suited to making games that have a definitive beginning, and end.

Because the only thing that sounds better than playing Destiny is playing some shitty mobile game developed by Bungo that's funded by a Chinese cash cow company.

Imagine if ANY studio had this attitude. We would still be playing pong lol.

You can see by the amount of bungle replied tags, just how much bungle cares about this game
