With regards to this article, I'm kind of confused as to the announcement of a full sequel. I thought they had said that they didn't want to split the player base, and that was the point of the comet packs...

A full sequel implies that they're moving on from overhauling the current game in favor of a do-over elsewhere...

I could be wrong, though...

That isn't really news. The leaked contract from years ago had 3 full games, each with two major expansions (comet packs).

Activision is just trying to make sure markets know they are striking the anvil while it's hot.

DR WHO SUCKS BIG TIME. STAR TREK IS THE BEST.

My interest in this is so miniscule now. I'm here for the drama

I'm here to start drama for you then:

The only thing worse than a warlock is a female awoken warlock. They are ugly.

It is going to be tough to convince Microsoft/Sony though as you basically have to say "we want to allow people to abandon your platform and be able to play their same game on your competitors system".

There are ways that they can salvage this concept. I don't know how likely it is that they will apply them, but it is possible.

As far as the current game is concerned, I'm done, save for the occasional PvP match. I have no interest or investment in the story. I have no interest or investment in the DLC. I simply can't force myself to continue the grind.

Given this information I think there is a chance that you could bring a guardian from one platform to the other for a new release. It would be really nice to be able to have this option.

-- Steve thinks it'd even be a bit simpler since Destiny uses the "cloud" so extensively.

I always assumed that characters would carry over to the inevitable Destiny 2. You sign in and BAM, there you are.

yeah, the point was you make the game available to everyone the first time around and build in a migration process for when you force them to go next-gen. There are a lot of folks that don't have XB1's or PS4's yet. You get them hooked, and then they upgrade later.

I was meaning more in terms of sequels than Destiny 1. I sure as hell got my moneys worth out of this game anyway.

I dunno, this game makes me feel weird. I love it some days and don't others.

It makes me feel like a guinea pig.

Destiny is one of those games where it's really easy to get addicted to it. I would not be surprised when a sequel is announced, that it is enough to push the last of the holdouts to get a new console.
