Last sentence smells like PSN to me.

Hmm, I like this, but still.
It's been like two to three weeks since we've had any info given to us.

But this excites me.

(That's a sniper shooting a happy guy)

Was going to strangle you if I entered this thread to find, "We want news". Thanks.

Well, it wasn't really a whiff of news at all, they just mentioned it. Hopefully we'll get some more news soon though.

Enjoy your freedom! (Maybe) Twenty more days of remembering what your gf, the real world, and other things look like.

I don't think thats remotely possible. Nobody releases even a modest budget game without months of advertisements.

Though I concede the possibility of a beta in that time.

Would be better if you copy and pasted it, the sites down

"Could we really be seeing the slow, painful and long-overdue rebirth of the MMOFPS in 2011? A panel at GDC suggest that we might be, as Bungie lead network engineer David Aldridge said that their MMO was an action game and also not “WoW In Space.” It’s the first firm evidence of the rumoured MMO title, and the idea that it could be a mature action game too is rather exciting. (Via IGN.)

With Planetside Next, Firefall, and others arriving this year, and the Bungie MMO and others starting to form in the years beyond, we might just start to get the massive shooter horizon we were promised in 2003. (Also, we should have a rather juicy story next week, which is relevant to this line of speculation. Stay tuned!)"

I thought so too. I really hope we're not wrong, but really any news on this line of games would be fantastic.

etheral · 2011-03-04, 02:09 PM

hmmm, I hate to be a killjoy, but we MUST remember that that last sentence does not necessarily mean PS:N. Could just as easily be some info on tribes universe or Firefall. Hell, it could even be something relating to blizzard's 'titan' project that accidentally got outed (unlikely I know).

Just warning people not to get too hyped

Yea sadly it could mean anything. We will be keeping an eye out as always.

It would seem that "Destiny" is not even classifed as an MMO by Bungie (some kind of... joke? at GDC? Sounds more like controling the message).

Either way it would see they are working on an action game that is small scale. (Probably quite similar to halo... yeah).

Thats good news, less crap to worry about.

I still don't know what to make of this news, but apperantly "Destiny" was just a hoax by Bungie......yeah wtf indeed. I don't get it, a hoax? Really?

So we went from thinking the age of MMOFPS was coming to apparently just hoping Planetside Next is good cause its the only one again lol. Oh well if SOE turns around an says Next was a hoax then at least I can play Battlefield 3.
