Seems like Bungie’s not wasting any time pursuing their dream of creating a transmedia Destiny universe. I realize the deal isn’t finalized yet, but I can’t help but think this hire is related.

I mean their ultra detailed and realistic games like TLOU 2 is cool and all, just like Rockstar with RDR2, but those are the results of the crazy crunch. I absolutely love crazy details in games, but obviously it’s not a good thing to have people going to such lengths.

Good luck to Sony for managing Bungie. They have a track record of being selfish, and when things don’t 100% go their way they crack the shits and want out. They did it to MS, and they did it to Activision. I’m glad MS didn’t buy them, but I think it suits Sony’s needs. They will be able to gain technical expertise which will save them many years of their own trial and error to build it on their own.
Why does Jim ‘Lyin’ Ryan always look like a sleazy car salesman?
transmedia project with destiny’s dry ass lore… lol good luck with that.

They want to expand to transmedia but can’t keep all content for their games alive?
Serious question as someone who’s never played Destiny, How much interest would there be in a series or movie?
As much interest as the Uncharted movie

never played uncharted either haha
I haven’t played all the way through either Destiny, but from what little I have experienced my confidence in current Bungie to tell a compelling story is at about 5%. 
Destiny’s storytelling and writing is TERRIBLE. People keep playing because of the loot and PEW PEW is superb.
Tom Holland to play Cayde 6.
Yeah I doubt there are many people who are playing it for the story because it makes no sense unless you watch like an hour of someone summarising it up.

ll depends on how good it ends up being
If you’d have asked me how interested I’d be in a League of Legends show a year ago, I’d have said zero. Then I saw Arcane

When I think about it Bungie is a good fit for Sony. Destiny feels like the only AAA service game that’s on the market.
Bungie would need a Fortiche (studio behind Arcane) of their own, in the sense having a production team that is so talented and entrenched in the game world to the point of taking that IP and making a media production based on it where there’s zero prior knowledge of the game world needed from its viewers, and realized at a gold standard in every facet, be it concept, animation, vfx, performance, writing, direction and music.
Very very difficult and rare to pull off, but it’ll be interesting to see what they do with it.

Fortnite, Apex, FF14, League of Legends, Warzone, GTA Online?
It depends on the age old definition of AAA games.
Many people still use AAA to describe the big ‘cinematic’ experiences people typically associate with Sony first party games rather than their budget amount.
Destiny does have those big cut scene moments which many of the much larger GaaS games are missing.

This. Arcane was legit incredible. Bungie is using some of the main ppl behind that project for their transmedia push with Destiny, so I would not write it off so fast.
