Bungie's take on Overwatch?

 

[CrazyIvan1978]

Hahahahah, oh wow

 

[Remark]

Don't ever wanna see Bungie touch PvP games ever again especially on a competitive scene so this might be a huge skip for me.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

Well, that pretty much kills most chances I could care about it.

 

[Dlanor A. Knox]

oh no

 

[Saito]

They going to build a time machine to travel back to when the iron was still hot?

Bungie's take on Overwatch?

Valorant, Overwatch, Apex Legends, Rainbow Six Siege etc.
There's a ton of immensely popular hero shooters in the market now. Trailers for new characters continually trend globally on YouTube every time. The appetite is there.

 

[UraMallas]

no

 

[vixolus]

Bungie broke away from Activision Blizzard to become Activision Blizzard!

I could be interested. Bungie still stands as some of the best FPS/shooter makers.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Far too early and vague to give a real opinion on.

 

[Kurt Russell]

The one thing I hate about Destiny 2 is its PvP, so this isn't exactly something that appeals to me.

 

[GING-SAMA]

I sleep bungie PvP since Destiny is boring

 

[FusionNY]

We're never gonna get a good Bungie campaign ever again 🥲

 

[Dougieflesh]

Bungie trying to balance a PvP mode? Won't be much of a playerbase with how long it takes them to "balance" the game, if we go by Destiny 2.

 

[Praedyth]

So that's how they clean Trials of Osiris from hackers… moving them to a new competitive game.

I'm curious, I thought Bungie's next project was a RPG with necromancy stuff.

 

[ILikeFeet]

I was hoping for something more single player-ish

 

[PandemicOdin]

[MillionIII]

I mean it's bungie they will find a way to fuck it up

 

[Dest]

I'm so tired of hero shooters already

 

[wwm0nkey]

dang I was hoping for them to try Arena Shooters just one last time :(

 

[Bungie]

Spectacular fall from grace if this is actually what they're working on next.

Microsoft would never have let this happen (and they wouldn't have let them get away with Destiny either)

 

[NippleViking]

Christ. Honestly one of the worst possible outcomes. Was hoping for an RPG or first-person Diablo-like

 

[Zips]

Oh.

Oh no.

I'm sure this is going to go over real well with Destiny 2's PvP fans. The fans that haven't gotten a new PvP map in over 600 days now and that actually had 11 maps removed in that same span of time.

 

[Saikyo]

I like hero shooters but from what I read about Bungie balancing...welp.

 

[DarrenM]

I hate hero shooters, so I hope this isn't true.

Edit, in before I get quoted with thisisresetera.gif

 

[Van Bur3n]

After seeing how Bungie treats Crucible, this is a tough sell.

Overwatch is still THE high mark for the Hero Shooter genre as far as I know. Well, Cliffy B would disagree, probably Lawbreakers.

Hopefully it will be good.

 

[Oozer]

An early version of Destiny was apparently quite similar to the then-contemporaneous version of Project Titan. From the book Blood, Sweat, and Pixels by Jason Schreier:

One early incarnation of Destiny looked a lot like Overwatch , according to Jaime Griesemer. "I went to Blizzard for a while, and played Titan ," he said— Titan was the canceled MMO that was later reworked into Overwatch —"and I was like, 'Holy shit, you guys are working on the same game, down to character classes.'" The version of Destiny that shipped, of course, looked nothing like Overwatch .

[SRTtoZ]

Oof. Good luck. Feels like when Blizzard chased after the MOBA craze with HOTS after it was popular. We'll see.

 

[Sou Da]

Oh.

Oh no.

Give em a voucher tbh

 

[Micro]

Wonder if a character named Valkyrie will be available at launch or in a future update.

 

[HaremKing]

When was the last successful hero shooter? I typically ignore those games, but Overwatch and Valorant are pretty much the kings (if you ignore TF2) right?

 

[Vic_Viper]

I mean Bungie has nailed that perfect shooter feel, so I could see this working really well. Just as long as they build it from the ground up with PvP as a focus, it shouldnt have the same problems as Destiny.

Valorant is not even a year old since it's full release. lol

 

[Ocirus]

To be fair gameplay-wise I'm sure it'd be fantastic. If there's one thing Bungie knows very well it's how to make a game play/feel great.

Everything else?... I'd have to see it. I'm excited to find out what this turns into by the time it's ready!

Yep! So with this I say thanks Bungie for creating my favorite FPS series (Halo), but I think we've grown apart.

 

[Finaj]

I would have been excited if this was Bungie circa. 2010, but current Bungie's attempts at pvp (the crucible) haven't been great.

 

[Duncan]

I wonder if this was the thing that made Jeff Gerstmann on the Giant Bombcast today say, "Man that sounds really lame." when talking about unannounced projects going into E3.

Because man, that sounds really lame.

I miss being able to load up a shooter and play whatever character you wanted without having to race to pick your favorite or get rage mail because you picked someone else's favorite.

 

[DreamSurf]

Get the fuck out of here xD

 

[TheChrisGlass]

Is there some kind of law out there that every developer has to try and fail at a hero shooter before doing anything new now?

 

[Milennia]

I'm good on this man.... I was really hoping for a true follow up to destiny, not just the pvp aspect.
Absolutely checked out on this if it's legit.

 

[Jardim]

Can't wait for Peer to Peer competitive multiplayer from Bungie, just like Destiny. What could go wrong.

 

[ThePlayStationBrah]

Ah. Damn. My teenage son will appreciate it but eh.

 

[Deleted member 24021]

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Yeah, I'm into this actually. Bungie still does good gunplay, it's all the other shit they couldn't get right. I'll hope for the best.

Duh.. its obvious they removed 11 pvp maps at the beginning of beyond light to recolor them for this new game!

Eh, Valorant is kind of a different take on it in terms of the gameplay. I expect Bungie's take to be more like Destiny in terms of Gunplay.
