Destiny: Rising (Mobile) announced

[Vertigo]

Im in. Looks kinda great even on my iPhone which is a few years old now… impressive

Edit: console now pls k thanks. This might be great….

If I can post screen from the closed alpha I will. Super impressed and with the storytelling aspect too.

Ffs.

 

[Vertigo]

Real campaign. AI marines assisting in combat. wtf am I playing this might be great lmfao. Can’t believe Chinese Destiny just got me.

There’s already hints at them telling a better narrative from the jump.

Bungie may have to compete against their own game Lols

edit 2: wtf a colossus ….

 

[Vertigo]

Yes I made my character look like Anakin Skywalker thanks. Sorta in shock. Home console port now.

 

[Vertigo]

Haven is sorta already a better hub than the tower. It’s sorta huge and more active socially with players chatting.

There’s impressions coming thru…. Here’s one from ZK who is for a fact the highest ranked PvP player in the world.

 

[Vertigo]

Umm.

They assumed I wasn’t playing and sent out a survey asking me why… well that’s not true, was just hosting a friend to tour the city for the weekend.

Anyway… besides the point… the survey itself does ask about players interest in console and pc versions of the game and if we would expect the game to launch on it.

The closed alpha ends on dec 5th. I thought it would be in perpetuity; who knows. I think it’s def in a launch state even being this early still.

Why a mobile game and not a console game?

Why a mobile game and not a console game?

Because they already have a console game, and this geared to milk mobile users.

Even Phil Spencer mentioned he wanted ABK for mobile.

It seems a very polished mobile game to not even chuck a port to console. Base it on PS4 with PS5 upscalability

Don't worry my friend, I was on this very website telling users that the ABK purchase was for the K and AB was an added bonus. Most shot me down and called me a shill. C'est la vie.

Actually, that comment was tongue in cheek.

Oh I'm making friends.

Microsoft bought ABK for the K. There's more easy money in the K than A and B combined.

They bought it for COD.

There’s already ideas and aspects that are here that should be lifted into the “proper” game but I’ve played enough to believe it can stand on its own as a gacha game and appeal with that crowd. It’s better than most I played and already better than a first descendant (which is already dead).

Plays exceptional on controller but it’s still limited with movement but good enough to be engaging.

It’s cope, but I would hope for a console port since it does some narrative stuff in a different if not more jrpg style. But they did ask about it in the survey so now I expect it.

Refreshing, good and a great addition for fans. They nailed this Chinese copycat. I wonder what engine it’s running and how they lifted assets etc

 

[Boswollox]

They bought it for COD.

They didn't. CoD was a bonus, a cover for Spencer. They bought it for K.

My old account is gone so I can't find the post but basically:

250 million king users
More revenue per annum than A+B combined
250 million more azure users added
Minimal maintenance costs
Minimal dev costs
Breaks into the mobile space (largest gaming sector and still growing).

On the other hand you have:
Diablo dying
Cod dying
Overslop 2 is a flop
WoW is dying

Buying A and B makes no sense for one dying department, Xbox. Buying K to add users to Azure while expanding a market makes sense for Microsoft as a business.
Seriously, cod might be popular, but it isn't worth 70billion.

Did you watch courts? Non of this shit was bought because of anything mobile, it was just cherry on top.
Main reason was A+B and bury Playstation.

It wasn't brought up because Sony was the smokescreen.
Imagine a company paying 70 billion to stop 'he competition's when they get buried by Nintendo every gen.

Wake up.

Oh, so all courts and people just pretended
Okey, if you say so.

The courts that Microsoft lied to?
At least no one got laid off.

Come on, think outside the box

you are right, they said, they are buying ABK because of mobile.

yes, that's why they played obfuscating game. the whole reason was AB and kill Playstation. later, it was demonstrated.
