It's not an MMO. It uses elements from the genre, but everything is instanced. It's Phantasy Star Online in structure.
I got a Mass Effect vibe from it too. Looks like a ton of nothing new.

Some of the info I've read about Destiny - online connectivity required to play the game, allowing players to play most but not all of the missions solo - makes me wish it was more like PSO.
have they mlade any kind of pc announcement? or am i missing out on this?
There is no PC version currently in the works. According to them, a PC version would be more difficult than people think.

They're hiding behind five platforms being hard when the logical solution to that problem is to kill the last gen garbage that is probably holding back the game as a whole anyway. No, I don't care about Activision's bottom line.
I don't think they handled the Halo PC ports either, they probably don't want to deal with working outside locked setups and troubleshooting people's drivers.
Might even be a thing about running servers, depending on who's handling what. They could be relying on Sony and MS to do all of that.
Maybe Bungie will go all out and show more Destiny goods at E3 but general coverage of it has been so stop and go that it hurts some of the hype for it.
I could see this being a more exciting prospect for early console adopters yearning for a MMO'like game though and I'm sure this will be a good Halo + Borderlands 2 equivalent for the newer consoles. I do wonder how well the game fares in a single player environment with the online requirement but I'm not really all that excited for this on the whole given what's been shown.
