With the release of Destiny 2 not that far away, Anson Chan ponders whether the inclusion of PvP multiplayer in the game is more trouble than its worth.
PlayStation has scaled back expectations for Bungie after reassessing Destiny 2 development costs, highlighting the risks tied to live-service games.
Honestly Thank Goodness!! Yet another good sign of a possibility of returning to what made them great and undoing Jim Tyans trend chasing love service gamble. Still gotta wait and see just what direction they're going but this is a good sign in my book that they're not betting it all on live service anymore
Not sure what you lot are talking about anymore. They need to cover all range of games. Im primarily a single player gamer, but even I cannot be daft enough to ignore the fact that we need all manner of games including live service games. Everyone here seems to be a market expert.
Yes "all manner" not just exclusively live service like Jim was doing, but you also shouldn't be forcing devs to make games they not only have no experience making, but also flatout dont want to do.
Assuming that anything like that is actually the case and not just a perception of n4g commenters of course.

I don't understand why you people have to keep making up lies. You can say you don't like some or most of their focus being on live service games, but to say they were exclusively focusing on live service games is pure copium. At most half of their games were live service and the rest were single player games. Seriously why lie about something so obvious?
@Redemption-64
You say that as if we don't have word directly from Jim Ryan and PlayStation stating they wanted at least 12 live service games released within a year. Followed by tons of official word of those Live Service games being cancelled after he was pushed out. All studios combined at the time PS had 15 studios, 12 is a hell of a lot more than half of 15, and it was definitely their primary focus evident by the fact that a huge portion of their studios have taken uncharacteristically long to release or announce anything since, hell some studios have yet to release anything this gen almost 6 YEARS LATER! The only one making stuff up is you.
It may take a while but maybe they are finally learning. Good! Now stop with the live service crap.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a live service here or there, but to have many of your studios start focusing on it when there has been little to no experience among them was wild.
They say this and then immediately release news of the Horizons co-op game that will definitely be a Live Service game.
I feel like they knew that given the fact that the very furst thing they say in the trailer is to reassure they still make so games 😆

They will not. Destiny has been popular for over 10 years, something most games can never hope to achieve. Most people, including myself those Bungie was going to make a D3 after the final shape DLC. Marathon looks to be a hit and a D3 announcement could break records.
Patch notes for Update 9.5.0.5, the one about Equilibrium fixes and more, are now available.
A new survey shows Destiny 2 is considering adding Sparrow Racing League, unvaulted campaigns, NPC sidekicks, new PvP and Gambit modes, and much more.
The first Destiny had PVP it was a big post game thing to do, why would they exclude it from the second? I'm more concerned after the Beta that they are pushing the PVP more than the story and strikes/raids that people are actually buying the game for.
I don't play PvP, but what the hell is this guy talking about? Does he not realize how many people play it?
It's never bad to have other modes to play BUT like it has been said since D1, it has to be made separately so they can balance weapons in PvP all they want not impacting PvE.
PVP is the real end game of Destiny. It ain't going no where. Raids? For what purpose you grind for that gear, to look good to your friends? Want them to whistle at you too? For many it all leads to Iron Banner. And lets not forget Trials.
With that said wtf are they smoking? 3yrs and now they want to push for MLG? Too late. They nerfed every class to oblivion. Why do I get my super just as match ends? Or 15secs before it ends? WTF is that about?!
..More like, "want". And I can't imagine why people wouldn't want to be able to battle it out in pvp?.. You know.. Considering it's already a game about shooting things?..
It's all there, fully put into the game, right? It's basically the easiet multiplayer concept they could design. Let you shoot at another player instead of a npc.
