As a 10-year Destiny veteran, it’s pretty obvious to me that this game isn’t marketed to me. I do not play mobile games, and I do not spend money on MTX. This is for a specific audience that does.

[@ReforgeGaming]

yup, definitely for the mobile audience and not even really for fans of looter shooters

[@_Diamond-Dog]

As a d1 day 1 that dropped this crap after 2 weeks into d2 then returned for act 1 fs then permanently quit Get a life

[@The_Real_Iggy]

just say asia bruh

[@kaguscon]

Yeah, the rest of the world. Poor kids don't have PCs Ps5 and Xbox but they have a phone.

[@SteamDeckLive]

Mobile games with high end quality has been on the rise for the past decade. I know that a lot of “gamer” turn their nose up when one comes out but they are genuinely great. Specially when you aren’t a gambling addict and spent 0 dollars and get to play a brand new game completely free.

[@ReforgeGaming]

yup this could be huge for destiny 3

[@GamePlayuh9510]

I turn my nose up at them because they're busywork simulators that don't care about the actual player experience, and whether it's meaningful or not. Most of the "quality" you're talking about is pretty character art and banger soundtracks. Both of which could exist outside the scope of the game. I've never played one of these mobile games that I would actually recommend to anyone. They're the fast food of gaming. You play it on break at work because it's quick and easy. But whenever I have the time, I prefer playing actual games, rather than cash shop grind simulators.

@@GamePlayuh9510 oh that sweet buthurtness, delicious 🤤

[@CallMeRabbitzUSVI]

​@@GamePlayuh9510 Infinity Nikki, Flash Party, T3 Arena, Zenless Zone Zero, Dark and Darker Mobile, Grid Legends, Farlight 83, Pascal's Wager, and Vampire Daphne are a few games I would direct you to to enlighten you on where mobile gaming is right now. These are very high quality games bursting with story, substance and style. Not all Mobile games are Candy crush

[@zinthos1952]

Mobile games have honestly come a long way. I’m interested in seeing NetEase’s take on destiny gameplay and hopefully the micros aren’t outrageous

[@ReforgeGaming]

they really have

[@kristophershephard7359]

Plenty of great potential here. A. A new start for Destiny. Clean slate for everyone B. They can use the old lore as source material that either hasn't been fleshed out or had a deep dive. Think Marvel Disney what if? C. Space magic can fold a character or scenario from this universe of DR into the main DU. We know that the vex are in this rising universe. Potential Osiris, Bray and anyone that has encountered Vex tech. D. Bungie can see ideas that they wanted tested and maybe use them in the main game. E. They test the US market bc they know the Asian market will devour this. If they can make money on us that's just a bonus. Also anime and merch sales not just "Risingverse" could be lucrative.

[@stormkilla2392]

Im interested because for a couple of reasons. One its set in the golden age, something we have only gotten to read about. Two we getting supers and mythic weapons that we have never seen. Also we havent seen what the micros are like so it could be done in a good way. Plus mobile games have come along way and itll run good on my S24 Ultra.

[@boneslideclean1360]

There's 10 billion smart phones in the world. This game will easily eclipse expectations even if deployed subpar

[@ReforgeGaming]

especially if it gets a footing in the Asian mobile gaming market

[@AceInTheSpade]

You make very valid points. This could actually help none mobile destiny in the long run.

[@ReforgeGaming]

yup

[@GrimmdarkTruth]

This might actually turn out to be a friendly competition and bring innovation if netease develops things for a mobile game version of destiny that destiny 2 doesn't actually have, and maybe it will drive them to actually create something new and unique for the main game.

[@ReforgeGaming]

or it will help fund destiny 3

[@GrimmdarkTruth]

@@ReforgeGaming Even better.

[@jonalways1327]

Netease could be on to a winner here. How much revenue Bungie get out of it comes down to that licensing deal. Im not sure I trust bungie when it comes to signing contracts though. I wouldnt be surprised to hear down the line that Bungie grabbed the 100mill in desperation and signed a less then optimal licenscing deal.

[@ReforgeGaming]

It seemed like the original deal was to have Bungie make it tho

[@noahreimer6524]

Love the font on the vid title, really catches the eye

[@ReforgeGaming]

thanks!

[@THEdemetrishigashikata]

Honestly this could work. Ive always wanted to play Destiny wherever i was. And well pulling out my steam deck in class is a no go. So this is the next best thing

[@ReforgeGaming]

it not being a looter shooter might be a deal breaker for some

[@THEdemetrishigashikata]

@@ReforgeGaming yeah I can definitely see that especially with the alternate timeline thing too. Also I realize most people arent college students like me so if anything other countries and the youth of America may hold this game up

[@FuzzyMuffin1]

What are we supposed to do when we don't have phones?

[@ReforgeGaming]

lol

[@lockoff7214]

play on phone emulator on pc

[@Harbinger55]

I don't like mobile games but to those that do I can see this becoming popular with them

[@ReforgeGaming]

definitely

[@jml176]

If destiny rising can give you that vibe you get on console it may have a chance.

[@jordankinney863]

What font is that for “rising” in the thumbnail?

[@DaReapa]

I dont get why people keep saying it ismt marketed to them as a Destiny player. The game if very clearly made to be true to the Destiny shooting experience in addition to recognizable weapons that only fans would know.

[@MaAJuice]

With it only being licensed out, wouldn't that mean net ease gets the first cut of the pay cheque, then PlayStation, and then Bungie ? Like what would be the order of who gets what money

[@ReforgeGaming]

not sure, but mobile games can generate so much revenue, it kinda doesnt matter

[@jatoac]

a lot of good things Netease is doing with D:Rising, also a lot of stuff Destiny players have ased for for years. this pushes a lot of buttons and i think the good can outweigh the bad stuff. biggest question is can we play it with e.g. mumu on PC? if yes, this can be huge.

[@ReforgeGaming]

for sure

[@MoosterChief]

Been playing destiny for 10 years starting when I was five, I think a mobile game is fine. Ill prolly play it alot because I need more destiny in my life

[@ReforgeGaming]

i could see it being a big hit

[@DrownEyedAngel]

I'm curious about it but very skeptical. I've come to terms with it catering to a newer generation

[@ReforgeGaming]

also the microtransactions

[@knarwaffle]

I plan on giving it a shot I suppose. I am not a huge fan of mobile gaming, but I could see it being pretty fun.

[@ReforgeGaming]

same

[@VictorMayhem]

Can't wait to see how many people over look the fact this is a licensing deal with NetEase and neither Bungie nor Sony are actually making the game.

[@ReforgeGaming]

for sure, could mean a lot of cash for bungie tho!

[@vipset87]

I thought they said there was a team inside Bungie that was working on the mobile game. Edit: 1:40 nvm

[@centrevezgaming4862]

Then who are the voice actors in this game.

[@HadiganMadder]

As a non destiny fan, if this was aimed at non destiny fans, choosing mobile won't move my interest needle. Perhaps if this does hit console or PC I may try but not until it happens.

[@Jaffamuncher21]

Honestly as someone who's played destiny since house of wolves I really don't see most destiny fans playing this game long term. This seems to be more targeted towards the massive mobile gaming audience in places like China and Korea

[@XcRainbowBrighT]

where is the monetization...

[@ReforgeGaming]

yup, biggest question for me

[@HaMediocreMan]

According to datto that I believe said it will be a looter shooter same as destiny but the characters would be different

[@ReforgeGaming]

the official blog post literally says the opposite

[@x-RavenSt0rm-x]

not really into mobile gaming but this looking good.

[@ReforgeGaming]

agreed

[@piloctor15]

I like the way this looks I’m not gonna lie, and yea I think I’ll play it

[@ReforgeGaming]

yeah it looked surprisingly good

[@Citizen_JV]

We'll see what happens with this.

[@ReforgeGaming]

yup, definitely interested to see how it does

[@juniorcorporan3399]

This sounds to me like a summoners war type of game and if it is IM IN!. It is a gatcha game and that’s ok as long as they make it just like summoners war :). The only thing that doesn’t sound like summoners war is the “shooter” part..

[@ReforgeGaming]

how is the monetization in that game?

[@juniorcorporan3399]

@@ReforgeGaming I have been playing summoners war for 7years on and off and the only time I spent money on that game was like 2-3 years ago that I decided to support them with a $99 in game purchase because I’ve been enjoying the game for so long. So basically you can play it 100% w/o spending money on it and you will make a lot of progress but obviously spending money would make you advance a lot faster. In reality gatcha games are so random that spending money on them makes no sense. Even when you buy stuff it’s for you to basically have a chance at a slot machine 🎰 per say. With all that said, I rewatched your video and I would say Rising sounds more like Epic Seven (have not played it) which it’s a clone of summoners war but with actual gear/weaps upgrades.

[@lanceenchainte4890]

I just can’t get into mobile games. But mobile games rake money if they’re good, and I always see that and realize that I am not for this modern world and question why I even have a phone…we all have phones, right?

[@VeryClever-js4ed]

Best case scenario it’s great and it sales well. Then bungie will fight for creative rights afterwards.

[@feetonland6609]

Destiny mobile is gonna cook cod mobile

[@ReforgeGaming]

nah, cod mobile is a monster

[@ikon8275]

I'm sure it's going to be huge because Mobile gaming has come far but, I didn't invest into this new generation of 120fps 4k console hardware to play a mobile game. But that's just me🤷.

[@windsorguy22]

I dunno why people do videos and don't understand if it's a closed alpha why say you'll be able to play it and try it out, really and how is that if it's a closed alpha, that means a select amount of people so places should be more clear of no we won't be able to try, only some of us if we're lucky by a lottery lol

[@andrelefebvre8035]

Lookin good

[@djchronick1]

Mobile games aren't the same. Like the lite version of those games

[@ReforgeGaming]

yeah, but this is a looter shooter that isn't a looter shooter anymore

[@ROADKIL80]

mobile games I can't touch mobile game when I leave my house it's not time to play video games

[@ReforgeGaming]

yeah i'm kinda the same

[@chriscunningham8703]

The game might not be dead yet, but it’s dead to me

[@crabbypatty10fefrefe]

… in the East.

[@ReforgeGaming]

for sure

[@fracti9443]

Destiny 1 Beta vetran here, this game has no appeal to me whatsoever. I think this product is designed to introduce a whole new audience to the Destiny universe and then hope they spill over into the Destiny 2 PC or console experience. Gaming on mobile is still complete trash in my opinion, it's not gaming when most games have mechanics that revolve around literally waiting for time to pass. I am willing to bet money that they will introduce mechanics revolved around crafting materials to power up your "guardian" but those materials take 6 hours to craft or something awful like that. Netease also made one of the most disgusting mtx ridden games in history (Diablo: Immortal) so another reason to avoid.

[@GamePlayuh9510]

You lost me at "mobile game."

[@ResidentRecon89]

Could be huge….. a huge flop. I hopes it’s a flop cause I wish Bungie nothing but failures and flops cause with how they’ve treated people and still are treating people, they don’t deserve success in any form.

[@ReforgeGaming]

lol

[@Hitman-316]

For me personally I couldn't probably care any less for this sadly, I feel the franchise is doing anything but "rising" tbh. But it's obviously not made for me and that's ok, but I find it an odd use of resources when D3 is where the focal should be. However if this is a stop gap then it makes sense. For me tho I broke free in May of 23 and it's best thing I ever did, I don't miss this franchise for a second. The only way id ever return to destiny is if they ever made pvp an integral part of the game, and made it once again worth the time. If this helps them pivot to d3 that's great but somehow I doubt that.

[@bfedezl2018]

Somehow this looks like exactly the type of originality I wish we would get in the main game 🥲🥲
