Bungie's reveal: a disservice to Destiny

But Bungie's Halo sequels weren't brand new IPs. For the most part we knew what we were getting: more Halo. No one knows a thing about Destiny.

For my part, I didn't find the reveal underwhelming at all. It got me pretty excited. However, I can see the point kapowaz was trying to make. They didn't really tell us much, and that's forcing people to speculate. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but eventually people are going to assume they know what Destiny is going to be, and if it turns out Destiny isn't what they thought, there's probably going to be some disappointment.

Personally, I don't really see it as a problem. There's still plenty of time for Bungie to reveal more about the game. Anyone that takes speculation as the truth at this point is just setting themselves up for disappointment. Folks just need to keep in mind that we really don't know a whole lot yet. Be excited, be optimistic, but don't form any real expectations so soon.
