Even DestinyUpdates is bored right now!
On a lark I put in Destiny on a search in YouTube and MoreConsole and DestinyUpdates comes up this morning.
Well I caught the latter's latest video, it's about three minutes long on the Shrike that basically comprises of him talking about the personal vehicle, his upcoming mega video, and... sorry everyone there's nothing to talk about right now.
For a game that purportedly supposed to have million of guns and massive maps, it's really just boring. It's boring right now.
We should be hyping the hype out of your game Bungie on twitter, Facebook, and God knows what else on the Internet right now, for free.
And people are. Faith is is strong but... Seriously we... which is everyone on forums and social media from NeoGaf, to Pinterest, and IGN's talk back should be pointing to videos of new gameplay going holy -blam!- I can't wait to play it!
While trolls and haters try to bait, but the new video evidence being displayed even makes them go, yeah I'm getting that under their baiting breaths.
The guys on YouTube are practically doing your marketing jobs with 2013 E3 demo footage day in and day out on reaching the masses to some extent.
Mostly everyone on this forum is already sold lock stock and barrel.
But people on the fence or don't even know need new videos so "Little Jimmy Bungie Fan" can run up to them and go BUY THIS and here's why!
Why is there a lull in this?
I know you want to play it coy. But your free sales force doesn't have anything work with and I keep seeing two things while surfing.
Holy balls I can't wait for this game to come out!
And
What the -blam!- is Destiny? Is that Halo?
That last group is bigger by far because they are the ones who don't spend their time looking at game sites. But they got kids that do.
But hey, I know the GDC is coming and everything is going to change. But c'mon More Consoles and Destiny Updates have been there putting out Destiny content on YouTube and its the same thing in the background over and over while they try to maintain and exuberance for the process and game. Even your forums are in cycle of rut.
At first that's great for the Bungie Mystique, but after awhile and it's been a long while, it gets boring. Deej said he didnt want to be the usher telling you the end of Star Wars.
Well this isn't a five dollar two hour ordeal back in the 70s at a theater for the consumer. This is seventy dollars on the line along with a new console cost of 400 or more riding on the shoulders of the buyer,while millions are riding on the developer's head.
Instead of excitement being the tone for new Ip it's confusion and boredom in early 2014.
The converts are converted. Chop chop on the undecided, the game is going to be here faster that everyone thinks.

Flappy Bird didn't even have a trailer, and look how well it did. In all seriousness, though, I concur with your sentiments.
-
Agree time for another 12 minute gameplay video maybe of Venus or something.
-
I do kinda feel like I should make a Destiny billboard with duct tape, plywood, and christmas lights then add some kind of fog horn and set it up in my front lawn.
-
I feel you man. I rarely check in for Destiny info anymore as everything seems to be the same rehashed info. Even the FB did you know piece the have been doing about things in Destiny have been the same little pieces of info that I learned about a year ago

1 ReplyIf they showed us every gun ship tank helmet and so on then theirs no surprise they best part of any game is something u don't expect like a kick ass gun that u never heard of
-
Whoa whoa whoa. Did he just dis on starwars. Not cool man, not cool.
-
Yes, yes! Cry! More! That I may fill my glass with your tears and drink of your sorrow! But seriously though. I don't see the problem. Things were the same with Halo: CE, no one was really sure on what it was, and yet it [i]STILL[/i] survived, thrived and took the gaming world by storm. Relax, chill, hold your horses, cool your jets, however you want to say it. Just because we don't know much, and that there isn't much to go on, doesn't mean the game will be bad, or that there will be a deficiency of players when it's released.

Right now is Titanfall's and Second Son's advertising window. It's a waste of time and resources to push new media right now that would otherwise get buried underneath the Titanfall media blitz. By the time the beta is over, the hype train will be at full steam.

[quote]Why is there a lull in this?[/quote][url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Some-food-for-thought/en/Forum/Post?id=63606584]Well...[/url] Also there is plenty to talk about, I still have about three or four thread ideas queued up that should make for interesting discussion points, you've just got to be a bit brave and throw yourself into the unknown.

2 RepliesAs much as I want to hear more about Destiny, I have faith that Bungie knows what they're doing. As a community, it's up to us to fill in the holes until we get the chance to see the truth. We can get through this together, it's just going to take a little more of an active role from each of us. And I'm sure if we make enough noise, we'll inspire others to learn more about Destiny.

Blame Marketing and Branding

You know a lot of good points are made on both sides. He is right, on both sides. Information will start flooding in in the coming months... but at the same time, I think they should drop an Earth or Mars Trailer. But as he said, I'm already sold on this adventure, but I would like a little more noise to be made about the game. My friends catch whispers of this great game but soon... you'll need to cram it into their eye holes, and make them remember the name Destiny.

We're waiting on the next meaty update, Shrike is cool and all but not much to it.

4 RepliesPentathalon. February podcast. More drawing boards. GDC and possibly a media embargo lifted. The build up and preparing the community for the beta, site update probably to align with Destiny and it's community features. THE BETA. E3. Post E3 updates, things will start to cool down and we will see a marketting push. There can't be something amazeballs every week. You got to be patient. If you've waited in the dark for as long as some of the community (talking years boy), this is nothing. As for the above, those are my predictions of major Destiny info drops.

2 RepliesI agree with USplendid. There isn't a point in advertising for a game that's so far away while there are other games just coming out a month from now. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see a new trailer till next E3.
-
2 RepliesBut....but....my question got used in the latest update. I'm full on HYPED. However, I do feel your pain
-
3 RepliesGame's still half a year away. We have gameplay footage and minor details and mechanics. That's enough for now. I expect we'll have a new gameplay trailer with the reveal of the beta date.
