Please, no more F2P models
[QUOTE=dozendicks;39622002]Please, no more F2P models[/QUOTE] Its... not?
[QUOTE=Skyward;39622011]Its... not?[/QUOTE] The article did not say if it was or was not, and since F2P models are usually (thought of as by devs as) goldmines for big games, just assumed because: [quote]Activision did say that they do not plan on charging a subscription fee for this access.[/quote]

I really like the style.
Release this on PC. For the love of god.

[QUOTE=Skyward;39622130]F2P games don't work on Xbox too well.[/QUOTE] Fixed a slight grammar mistake for you, should be fine now.

[QUOTE=Skyward;39622509]Am I missing something? PS3 has F2P games?[/QUOTE] PS3 doesn't charge for it's online service, so pretty much any multiplayer game on the PS3 is F2P, IIRC.
[QUOTE=Kayl;39622126]Release this on PC. For the love of god.[/QUOTE] Seriously. SERIOUSLY. They can do SO MUCH with the power of the PC. SO MUCH.
[QUOTE=Skyward;39622509]Am I missing something? PS3 has F2P games?[/QUOTE] Dust514. Also, on the XMB "What's new" section it literally advertises a PSStore section with F2P games. They're all ported smartphone games, except for Dust514, but it's a step in the direction that Microsoft literally opposes with XBL policy.
[QUOTE=Skyward;39622509]Am I missing something? PS3 has F2P games?[/QUOTE] DCUO Dust 514 and a few other ones
[QUOTE=dozendicks;39622044]The article did not say if it was or was not, and since F2P models are usually (thought of as by devs as) goldmines for big games, just assumed because:[/QUOTE] Considering you can order a $60 boxed copy of the game, which is a console game, I doubt it's going to be F2P.
[QUOTE=certified;39622483]Fixed a slight grammar mistake for you, should be fine now.[/QUOTE] Happy Wars is a F2P game on the 360
I heard Rumors that it was going to PC anyway Never heard about the PS3 anouncement though and the next two consoles are being announced this year regardless so why would bungie even bother with the 360 or PS3?

The art style looks like Homeworlds paintings they used in cutscenes.. which i loved
Well IGN said no PC, but then Adam Sessler said that what the press got was hardly anything, so maybe the PC shit isnt decided on yet. I am hoping for it to be on PC still, would be a really, really smart move by bungie.

[QUOTE=Delta616;39623412]According to the leaked contract from November PC version will be released alongside the next gen installments of the game.[/QUOTE] Yeah but IGN said today during the live reveal shit it will not be on PC. But like I said, Adam Sessler tweeted today saying the whole press release today was pretty worthless with not a lot of info so maybe IGN doesnt have a lot. I hope its on PC because the game sounds amazing and it would just make sense to be a PC game, especially since it will be on both next gen sony and microsoft so it doesnt seem like either has exclusive rights.

I hope it has cross-platform play, my boyfriend and I want to play it together but he's a console gamer whilst I'm a PC gamer.
I gotta admit....this sounds REALLY interesting. I can see why bungie kept it all hush hush for so long though...this seems like one really ambitious project. I wish them the best in this endeavor.
I remember seeing the concept art for this a while ago. I really dig the style.
[QUOTE=Irockz;39624241]I hope it has cross-platform play, my boyfriend and I want to play it together but he's a console gamer whilst I'm a PC gamer.[/QUOTE] They said its not today during the live stream. Sounds like 360/ps3 also wont be cross platform to there next gen brothers.
