With Destiny 2's release hovering on the horizon, find out why Screen Critics Charles has concerns about the game.
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.
i am not concerned. it is the rule of the market that a sequel seldomly surpasses the predecessor in sales figures. so they are trying to make up for that with microtransactions. too bad only a very tiny fraction of gamers goes to blogger sites to read about their hobby. so i guess they will be getting away with it. minus my wallet.
I liked Destiny 1 but I'm not gonna buy Destiny 2 because I just don't have the time for it... It's almost a second life if you want to have good gear... And the raids take hours, and you have to look for people to join your group...
i am not concerned i dont see the point of this article. just the heading is enough for me i wont be clicking on link it should not have been approved. gamers enjoyed destiny 1 and they sure will enjoy destiny 2
I could be tempted by the PC version if it turned out to be moddable but somehow I think every effort will be made to make it as non moddable as possible. I always felt Destiny 1 could have been so much more fun using the Patrol areas as 5 to 7 flag CTF, domination, conquest style fps with 16/32 player base. I really don't think a 4 v 4 on PC with standard game options as "features game modes" is going to go down well. I remember when they promoted a new crucible game mode in Destiny 1 which turned out to be 2 v 2 instead of 3 v 3 lol. Maybe I was just spoilt with games like Unreal Tournament etc where you set just about any option you wanted and even create your own game styles via mutators!
