Luke Smith: "We are not planning to make Destiny 3"
- Thread starter Strakt
- Start date
I personally think it's good and this is what they wanted all along. Now take away the 2 from Destiny and just call it Destiny.
Can't make a D3 if they are working on that new IP
Now that we will have 4k/60 on consoles I don't need a D3
New subclass is using a different system than the current subclasses. They can make changes.

yeah just call it destiny infinite or even just destiny or something
shame they couldn't do it years ago, it would have been a much stronger product at this point id think
edit i just saw the other thread where they're removing stuff like disney, so maybe that last sentence isnt as true as id like to think lol

Guessing they'll rebrand d2 to Destiny when they have d1 content rotated back in. Curious how their engine and future content will work. When will they stop supporting ps4/xone? After the 2022 expansion or before that?
they'll make it when they need to either significantly overhaul their engine, or switch it completely.
Didn't he say something more to the effect of "If we're making a Destiny 3 I'll tell you. Right now we're focusing on this new era of Destiny 2"?
Sad thing I stopped playing :(
The gameplay and weapons are top notch, but the FOMO and them holding my time hostage ain't okay...
Still just following the game dev tho.

I was one of those people who didn't understand why they had to make D2 even, they could have built from the great foundation of D1, when D2 launched it was almost dead after a month, there was just nothing to do and they changed so many things like pvp until the "go fast" update. So just keep building on D2 and make it a better game.
Even if they were working on it they would say the same. They're going to have to substantially upgrade/enhance the current engine to impress next gen though.
Bring on Marathon!

I understand the decision but I personally love the hard reset that comes with sequels. Just adding on top of an already big pile of content makes it feel incoherent and a bit unfocused.
And if they continue down this road I really hope they concider adding new classes and not just subclasses, and perhaps a bigger skill set.

I'm really liking the sound of this, but I think it's only going to just make me regret not dipping my toes into Destiny 2 sooner, if story stuff and campaigns start getting vaulted.
I like the idea of just having a constantly evolving game that I buy a 40 dollar expansion for every year, and just can constantly go back to as a sorta gaming comfort food type of thing.
I'm very excited about the idea of trying out Destiny again after today.

Exact same situation here. The way they've handled this, it's really not worth it.
personally this makes me happy because the way we started Destiny 2 felt very cut off from where we were 3 years later in D1.
I just uninstalled this mammoth of a game after the event this weekend. I used to just log on to claim the twitch stuff, but after being in the game for a while during the event I realized I would probably never get into it. That was a huge chunk of SSD space, and I don't know why I didn't do this sooner. I wonder how big the game will be when Destiny 3 eventually do get announced.
They have the new IP from the Chinese backer that I can't remember the name of. I expect they will have destiny 2 for the foreseeable future and the new IP
So have all the expansions through 2022 been confirmed for PS4 and Xbox One?
If so I'm wondering how exactly they can make drastic improvements to the nature of the game while be limited by decade old hardware. It feels like they could make serious strides forward by building future expansions exclusively for PS5 and Series X.

This is basically me. Put 800 hours into OG Destiny, completing every raid on hard and every raid challenge. And they basically wiped it all away (bar a few emblems) for Destiny 2...
Glad they're vaulting things and rolling in D1 content. They absolutely should rebrand back to Destiny at some point... They probably can't though because it will fuck up every store database and entitlement system.
Probably a good thing, it's been a hard fall from grace for Bungie since they parted ways with MS.
Once they fold the Y1 stuff into the Destiny content vault at that point there's no more Destiny 1 or 2, it's just Destiny. I could see them dropping the 2 and just calling it 'Destiny' but it's not important.
This is the right call though. Moving from 1 to 2 brought a lot of content problems initially that took a long time to rectify.
Pretty sure they would have talked about it at the reveal if it was ready for BL. Seems like a huge gamechanger that would get people talking.
My guess is that whatever D3 was supposed to be was split up and re-purposed into the 20/21 expansions. Bungie probably has a team working on Lightfall right now, which would effectively be a new game in terms of content and changes to the game. That means that Lightfall has a 3+ year development cycle, which is more than D2 had.
Considering how long it takes Bungie to make content, the only downside I see to keep expanding on D2 is that they can't really change engines. I'm no game developer, but based on everything I've read, the pipeline and workflow of something like UE4/5 would really benefit Destiny going into the next generation.

D2 was built over the D1 engine, which was required to run on the split memory pool in the PS3. It's starting to feel like Bethesda milking Gamebryo.
I'd pay top dollar for a new game built from the ground up to run on next-gen. I know they're working on a new IP, but no D3 is disappointing.

This is the type of thing that would bring me back. I hope it's an idea they want to pursue.
