At this point I won’t be surprised if more parallel accounts are made or even more ppl are brought to join in just to “block him” :rofl:

 

 

I am not sure why you feel that way! I am not even sure where this paranoia is originating from. Now again, don't take this the wrong way, nothing to get angry about. After all discussion is around two console's where the sole intended purpose of them is to have fun!

The development budget of Destiny is pegged at USD 140 mil on Wikipedia and several other sites. They link to a leaked contract between acti and bungie as a citation. I glanced over it but couldn't find it. 

Regardless, 140 million seems like a much more realistic estimate. 

that 'supposed 500 million' includes royalties, distribution etc. I would wager that most of it is contingent and depends on actual sales. For ex, GTA 5 made $500M worth sales this year. They would be charged roughly ~$150M as platform fees etc. They should not come under development cost. Most shitty sources just pull these numbers out of thin air since their editors don't necessarily have the requisite knowledge. 


(PS - Figures are used as examples, nothing to be derived out of them)

As many parallel/multiple/fake accounts have suddenly emerged in the past month or so. 

 

Some just use the market section. Others just troll.

Yep. Even in the books it states $140m for development.

The contract reads:

  • $7.5m - The total bonus pay Bungie receives if the first Destiny project remains on budget and on target for its 2013 release. Of the Total Bonus Pay, the maximum possible that can be distributed to staff is 20 per cent, or $1,500,000.
  • $2.5m - The total windfall Bungie receives if the first Destiny project receives a Gamerankings.com score above 90.
  • $25m - The extra twenty-five million Bungie is granted if Activision makes $750 million in associated operating income during a twelve-month period.
  • $25m - An extra $25m is added to the previous figure if Activision’s associated operating income hits $1 billion.
  • Bungie takes 35 per cent of said annual operating income if it climbs above $400,000,000. The smallest single royalty at this end of the scale is $140 million.

TOTAL MAXIMUM BUDGET FOR DESTINY 1

 

Quote

 

Though advances are not discussed in the contract, Activision said it agrees to go up to a maximum budget of $140,000,000 for the first Destiny game on Xbox 360.

However, this includes marketing costs, and because it is the maximum amount before royalty penalties are issued to Bungie, it should not be considered as an accurate guide to production costs.

 

Bungie is generally banned from developing action shooters other than Destiny until 2018 (after the release of Comet 3), regardless of other stipulations. After then it would have to wait another three years to be able to publish such a game, but in any event must give Activision first rights to negotiate a publishing deal.

 

The $500m idea wasn't just for D1 either. The partnership is expected to naturally conclude 2020, but only if Bungie develops four Destiny games and four Comet expansions. The studio will need to support the game online for three years after the development deal ends.

 

 

It's on page 16 section 11.5

$500m was for whole franchise idea. 4 Destiny games and 4 Comet expansions. This never happened as Activision bailed out.

Would love to see crowbcat making a video on it just like he did one for gears 5.  :giggle:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ps- I hope these issues are fixed in the final build. Maybe they are still ironing stuff out. I don't think they would launch the game with such bland shooting mechanics.

Why would it be. It's their design choice because it's a much faster game compared to cod. Doom can be a comparison but that's not as open as halo

The lack of/or slow upgrades in gameplay mechanics in Halo series specifically has more to do with the stubborn community rather than the developers 

 

Games like COD,BF,Killzone,Unreal Tournament hardly look anything like their first iterations & all have come a long way 

 

But Halo didn’t & though upgraded a lot now still has a lot in common with the original than any other game 

 

Ppl like it this way

So why did they delay the game in the first place? 

 

 

Also, what all would be there in the GP version of the game. We habe no idea. It's clear that day 1 gp games lock away stuff behind paywalls (like flight sim and now back 4 blood seasons pass).
