Genre
I agree with User:The1337gamer that Open world shouldn't be in the genre field of the infobox. Not because it isn't a genre (a genre is anything that describes gameplay really) but because Destiny really is more pseudo-open world. If you read what IGN, Eurogamer, etc. says about the game its pretty obvious that it isn't like Skyrim. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/) 19:03, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
- Just created a discussion on the open world as a genre at the wikiproject talk page. Hopefully a concensus is reached to remove it from all articles. Link: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#Is_open_world_a_genre.3F. The1337gamer (talk) 19:30, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
Need some more people in discussion over the platform field of the user box
Discussion going on over here, although we should probably move it to this page. User_talk:The1337gamer#http:.2F.2Fwww.ign.com.2Farticles.2F2013.2F02.2F17.2Fdestiny-quick-faq
The gist of it is that both http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams and http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/destiny-quick-faq mention "future generation technology" as a platform, should it be added to the infobox?

Change "from Marathon, Myth, and Halo creator Bungie." to "being developed by Bungie." ?
So the first line would read: Destiny is an upcoming first-person shooter video game being developed by Bungie. This is an encyclopedia, we don't need to "show off" all of Bungie's accolades, no matter how great they may be. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/) 19:16, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
Contents of the "Development" section - this is not for marketing!
I've just trimmed out about 1000kB from the "Development" section of the page. Most of this seemed to be focused on Bungie's marketing campaign for the game, and details of where pre-orders for the game can be made. I removed it because it read like it was advertising—especially since it formed a significant part of the article—which is not the purpose of Misplaced Pages.
To draw a comparison, consider the Skyfall page (which has GA status), particularly the production section. This is what the "Development" section of the page should look like, containing details of how the game cam about and the process behind building it. Details of marketing should certainly not be included in it; a dedicated "Marketing" is only needed if the marketing is particularly notable. Since details of Destiny are scarce at the moment, having a "Marketing" section probably puts undue weight on it.
This page is support to be an encyclopaedia article on the game—not a place for people to come looking for details on where they can buy (or pre-order) it. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 05:49, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
