Except... (Destiny)

The risk is, for Bungie, in that talking about systems in isolation, that people will get the wrong idea. They'll have the wrong frame of reference for what is a new game. They'll try to liken it to Halo, or Call of Duty or Borderlands with unfavourable reflections on Destiny.

People do that if they are NOT specific. People won't get the wrong idea if you are clear and confident about how your game works. It will stand on its own.

There is no use hiding it, because people will get the game in their hands sooner or later. Best to be as detailed as possible so someone buying the game at least knows what kind of game they will be playing. If revealing your mechanics makes you nervous, then that's pretty fucked up, because that's the base of your game! A reluctance to reveal BASIC mechanics seems like nothing more than insecurity.

Bungie doesn't have to get as specific as Blizzard, but jeez tell us how the game will play. Surely you have an idea by now.
