My take on a Destiny Map Editor/ Forge
With the[little] information given to us about Destiny, we can only assume at what it might be like.
What I am imagining is a world akin to that of Skyrim or Borderlands, except it will play like an MMO, in that there will be a massive amount of people and you may be able to choose your own,"Destiny" (cwatididthar?). Maybe on something like a server, but that doesn't change my map editor idea.
So let's say in Destiny you have clans. What you can do for a clan is create a clan guild or something like that, for your clan mates to train, hang out, etc.
Now how about you create your own homes and personal property? You can use Destiny's map editor to create your very own home (provided you have the resources.)
In addition to all of this, you can just make a map for competitive play.
[spoiler]What if Destiny has its own currency? So say you can buy land, weapons, resources, materials, etc. [/spoiler]
Well, that's just my take on it. Feel free to share your thoughts.

4 RepliesIf it's open world, where plenty of players are on the same world. You can't really adversely effect that world. "Oh, I'm jusy going to build my house on this narrow pathway and block players." OR "I'm going to build my house where... oh, I bought the game a month after it came out and there is nowhere free to build a house.. damn." If there is some sort of clan hangout, they will be pre-made, and they won't be clan hangouts, they'd be faction hangouts. This is my guess. I don't know if forge will be included in this game. I really don't. I'm thinking this game will be more co-op than competitive. But we'll just have to wait and see. However, I'm still going to throw out a theory of how it could work. Maybe, there will be a coliseum somewhere in the last city where you can go for a traiditonal, Halo-like multiplayer. Where you can forge maps and what not for. But I think the main attraction of the game will be the story/open world aspect. As for an in game economy. It's basically gauranteed. Not real world money though.

1 ReplyWhat I'm hoping for is a two-tier mapmaker. On one level, you have the standard Forge-style map editor, tweaked and perfected but ultimately the same core concept. But you also have a copy of a fully-fledged PC mapmaker - you can scape the terrain, add new textures/objects/effects, and so on. Would be really good for customs, especially as literally everything we've asked for - weather FX, interactive objects, AI, blah blah blah - would be within our reach.

You're getting very specific for a guess. It could just be a Halo-esque shooter.

Ummm we don't even know what the game is about...

While I'm a little open to destiny being an open world game I'd prefer if it was just a linear FPS.

I have thought about this as well. For a game that is supposed to be an adventure game it would be kinda lame to be designing and building a house to hang out at - too SIMS. Also given the last city on earth land and resources would be at a premium, so I don't know how it fits into game play. I think there will be map editing, but I don't know how it fits in yet, we have to little to go on as it is.
