Forum:Destiny and Halo 4 parallels

Forums: Index → General Discussion → Destiny and Halo 4 parallels

In the trickle of information, images and footage we've received about Destiny since the game's announcement, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed some similarities between Bingie's new game and the Chief's latest outing.

For example: Both games and their promotional materials feature mysterious floating spheres in the forms of the Traveler and the Didact's Combat Cryptum. Both games feature enemies disintegrating when they die.

What's most interesting to me comes in the form of three statements. One comes from Bungie, when they said they had considered making Halo 4 prior to starting Reach. They explored concepts and though the game never made it past pre-production, there's little doubt that they had concepts for both story and gameplay. This ties into the other two statements, one where someone from 343 said they were using things left by Bungie as a starting point for many of their ideas, the other being Bungie's recurring statement of bringing back ideas that didn't make it into previous games. Personally, I feel that 343 and Bungie have both been using ideas that didn't make it into Bungie's final Halo entry.--Soul reaper (talk) 05:31, 21 July 2013 (EDT)
