I don't get that

This for example...



Looks like they're comparing destiny's art style (which is very "star wars") with halo's. and they don't gel well at all. No consistency. I'm sure they could have come up with a tank character class that looked like it actually belonged.
That middle one is my favorite, then the left one.
I am a sucker for long capes and cloaks/trenchcoats, especially in movement when they flap when characters move or wind blowing.

But yeah those two designs overal looks awesome, the right one looks boring.

Bungie's art has made very nice strides, I think. This is probably some of the best art I've ever seen from them. They've always had some nice concept art, but as far as in-game art goes, this is some of the best I've seen from them, with what little in-engine stuff that was shown in this trailer.

I also wouldn't remotely be surprised if what was shown in that vidoc WAS the next gen version of the game, and not a current gen version, but they simply didn't acknowledge that much to the people that came to see the game. Would people immediately associate what was shown with next gen? Probably not, but I also don't think it makes sense to think a game needs to make your jaw drop in order to qualify as a next gen title. That said, I still think it looked quite good, with what little was shown, and maybe it's just me, but it certainly comes off a lot more 'clean' than I've become accustomed to seeing 360 and PS3 games look.

The majority of the impressiveness may, in the end, come from seeing actual combat gameplay of this one, likely sometime during E3. Remember I said this, do not be surprised if what we saw in this vidoc is, in fact, the next gen xbox version of the game. Because I certainly do not expect some massive gulf between the current gen and next gen versions of this game. By that, I mean certainly the next gen version will look the best, but the visual makeup will more or less be the same, with the next gen version simply doing quite a bit more technically, having superior textures and filtering, better, higher resolution shadows, superior looking particles, likely better AA, and running at a higher resolution. All these things will lead to one version looking superior, but what I mean is the next gen version won't exactly be entirely unrecognizable.

There's no way, with the game also releasing on the 360 and PS3, could the next gen xbox be the lead platform for development, hence expect a noticeably better looking version of the game on the next gen xbox, and not much else.

Sorry man but the design is generic, it looks no different from what you usully see in Halo Reach or 4 multiplayer games or Mass Effect. Nothing stands out like the other two.

Its like how of all the designs in Killzone 2 and 3, the sniper class stands out the most because of the cloaking and the cloak they wear while the rest is typical armor.

Besides, the ones i mentioned has that fantasy flair to them which i love while the Titan is typical pure soldier grunt design.
But if you like it then cool.

Well, don't get me wrong, I think those other designs are really nice, but why do I go with the Titan? He strikes me as the most offensively gifted, or more brute force of the three, and, for some reason, I always go with the most offensively gifted class in mmo style games, even though this isn't an MMO. However, he also looks pretty damn badass, too, don't you think? I wouldn't call it generic, and if we are going down that road, we can classify all three as generic. Is the one on the right generic simply because it's a soldier?

The cape and long coat doesn't exactly save the other two designs from similar criticism, if we're being totally honest. All three are carrying guns, but the one on the right looks like a kickass piece of combat armor. Also, if the customization is as heavy as Bungie claims, then perhaps I'll be able to give my Titan a cape, too, and then what huh!? :P I'll be a medieval Spartan in a cape!

I dont agree with that Op.
I always prefer more medium to light armor design than brutes, especially if it gives me more speed advantage.

Warlock seems to be the best going by describtion...guns + magic, cant go wrong. Kind of like Adept in Mass Effect 2 and 3.
In reply to

Yea, true, but I suspect the titan will be able to use SOME kind of magic, too, or at least something out of the ordinary that you don't normally expect from a soldier. They may all possess some type of magic in the end, only the warlock may just be even more gifted with magic than the other classes.

However, since you bring up Adept in Mass Effect 2 and 3, I see potential for that Titan, if he can also use magic, to be the Destiny equivalent of a Mass Effect Vanguard, and I certainly wouldn't mind that one bit. A vanguard has some pretty cool tricks, too, in addition to being able to handle some heavier guns.

I also suspect I'll be capable of using more advanced and deadly weapons, and at the end of the day, this IS a first person shooter, after all, so I kinda suspect having access to the best guns may not necessarily be a bad idea. Then again, maybe Bungie won't limit what guns each class can carry, and then there goes that gun advantage that I was just referring to. How they handle the balance will be extremely important. I wonder how they'll handle things like HP? I guess just like your typical fps, or how they last did it in Halo? Because I don't expect to see Bungie go all out stat based on weapons and armor items.

Instead of focusing on the fact that this requires an always on connection, I think we should focus on the possibility that the game might require a subscription fee! knowing Activision this is very possible.

@Op

The game has character customization so who knows what other type of designs there is for Titan. But soley on that art i dislike it.

@Alimo
They said there is no subscribtion fee for the game. On PS3 the online is free, on 360 its XBL and like any other online featured game it requires Gold which is stupid as usual.

As Sath said, there is no subscription for this game. Yea, that online play thing for xbox live is kinda stupid, but I guess if it's making money and Microsoft continues to have subscribers, what reason, really, is there for them to change that practice? But then, I guess I need to look at it as far more than just for online play, even though Microsoft says that's the reason you pay. It obviously can't be cheap to maintain Xbox live and to continually make changes and improvements to it as they do, so I guess a fee isn't something I have a problem with, even though I kinda hate paying for it. However, perhaps if I look at it from the perspective of simply supporting the continued improvement of xbox live, then, perhaps, paying for xbox live doesn't seem like such a bad thing.

Sounds interesting... always connected and social?, if its half as good Halo i'm in!def will get for 360 as Bungies experience and knowhow on the system will mean an excellent smooth running game.
True it will run solid on the 360.

Nope, once you buy the game, you can play it unlimited. No monthly payments. Only thing you would even remotely have to pay, on Microsoft's side, is the live gold fee to play a game that qualifies as always online where you can run into other players.

I just watched the vidoc, looked pretty cool, loving the art!
Thing is; a lot reminds me of Halo, saw a sniper rifle in there that's basically Halo's sniper rifle 1:1.
Same with an enemy design of a huge guy with a shield, looked like a hunter from Halo.

I hope they can make this unique/different enough from Halo so that it really becomes this interesting and new world/fantasy.

Really looking forward to hear more though..
And bring on the PC version.

Jason Jones is already spitting out stupid comments:
We did a bunch of ambitious things on Halo deliberately to reach out to people," Jason Jones told us. "We limited players to two weapons, we gave them recharging health, we automatically saved and restored the game -- almost heretical things to first-person shooters at the time. We made the game run without a mouse and keyboard. And now nobody plays shooters the way they used to play them before Halo 'cause nobody wants to.
Why can't he just admit that it up to Acti-Bliz to decide if it comes to PC or not?

http://www.destructoid.com/bungie-says-nobody-play...

Bungie COO Pete Parsons seems more honest about the case tho:
On the possibility of a PC version, Parsons said: "We would absolutely love to be on the PC. If you talk to the people upstairs, we play it on all platforms. So, stay tuned."

What I was getting at was console MMO's have a habit of being half crippled, either they are too complex for the market ala FFXI or they are gimped to high heaven to meet console needs ala DC online. You end up with instanced 5 player games with very limited gameplay functionality that barely makes it qualify as an MMO.

I also expect activision to charge for everything, from weapons to ammunition. Perhaps tickets to enter tournaments or other such fluff. It sure as hell won't be a one off charge to play and compete.

Why? Because they charge for weapons and ammunition in Call of Duty? Come on. You're being ridiculous.

They're one of the very few publishers who don't even use online codes. I disslike how they do a lot of things, but in regards to that sort of thing, they're actually pretty decent.

Activision monetised scoreboards and basic stats in COD, they have pumped a lot of money into this. I expect them to build a model much like any other F2P MMO on the market, basic access to the game world but limited levelling, restrictions to areas and a much slower progression in the game world.

COD wasn't an MMO, this is being touted as one and the best comparison would be something like planetside where everything is monetised.

Planetside is a free to play game. And I really doubt they're that comparable anyway. There will be DLC but I really doubt it will look anything like F2P content.

I think I'll download Planetside 2. I haven't played it since the beta.
