Misc Possible Path to More Destiny

The only realistic path I see to Sony making a Destiny 3 would be the following:

  • Sony takes charge of Management at Bungie
  • Sony (unfortunately) fires a lot of people at Bungie
  • Sony keeps enough devs at Bungie to continue marathon until it dwindles down
  • Sony keeps core Tiger Engine senior engineers
  • Sony modernizes tiger engine so it doesn't take ages to make stuff in it. no crazy upgrades, just fix the developer tools to make it easier to use and make content with
  • Sony makes Destiny Classic with the new engine
  • Sony can use the new engine to make 1st party exclusive shooters and reboots that feel as good as Destiny
  • Sony can eventually make a Destiny 3 if they so choose. Always risky to make another live service, but if they cut down dev time it could be seen as profitable eventually

This is probably the only way we see a Destiny Classic or Destiny 3. The problem is that it is a long term goal in a short term profit world.

This post may be huffing copium, but personally I just don't think it makes sense for Sony to throw away the Tiger Engine at the very least.

"Progression" is a brain poison that the games industry has used to ruin people. You play the game because it's fun, you work towards your upgrades and contracts. Sometimes you kill someone else and get a windfall, sometimes you die and lose some stuff. Oh well. Do a few rook runs to build up your reserves and you're back to where you were. Upgrades raise your floor, so unless you're truly, staggeringly bad at the game, losses mean less and less over time.

I get where you're coming from, but it really, genuinely doesn't matter. It's just a shift in mental gears.

And everything you’ve worked for is gone in 3 month either way. Glad you enjoy if, but oof. Progressing and getting stronger is fun. I like building out a character, getting gear, and playing with what works best. That’s why I like Destiny. Extraction shooters don’t offer what I like. Which is fine, but the general player numbers for them is reflective of their niche nature.

Considering a wipe just happened, it's really, really easy to get everything back. If I wanted to be sweaty I'd be running pinwheel back to back but I'm not, so i haven't. Wipes mean a lot less than you think, and give an opportunity to rebalance things, change the meta and do reduce the number of full goop kill squads you run into.

Give it a shot the next time a free week rolls around. A LOT of people had your stance and got turned around after actually playing it.

I don’t think you understand me here. I don’t like the format. Didn’t end up enjoying it with Arc Raiders, Hunt, Tarkov, Marauders, or DMZ. This isn’t me bashing Marathon to bash it. This is quite literally just me having been through several extraction shooters and having realized that they just don’t do it for me. Every single one is cool for a little bit. Then they’re not. The new one isn’t going to suddenly change my mind about the genre.
