I was recently searching for a new pic for my avatar, and I found this under "Destiny Game Pics." Here's my pic:

Sweet, huh? You know anything about this?

I reckon Bungie made this at random, and got the idea dof Destiny through this, I don't think they planned Destiny since 2009, but halfway through the production of Halo reach or Post Halo Reach launch.
Still pretty awesome though

You don't think they were already planning their next project before starting the current one? That's not how AAA studios typically work.

Besides, they bought themselves from MS (after being bought shortly before) during ODST (I think?) and with Reach stated it was their last Halo title. That's a certainty that comes with knowing what your studio will be working on for the next few years (not to mention 10).

Yes, it does actually make sense for them to be in an extended period of pre-production, because the results speak for themselves, Portal. But, I think that I think this may have been squeezed in right before ODST was code locked, which I think is when Destiny pre-production would have started. Also, while we're on the subject, the only game I've seen so far to not become truly great despite it's extended pre-production time is Halo 4.

Sure it was really good, but 343i had to fix up major issues throughout the game, because they spent so long in pre-production I think they had to cut corners to ship it in time.
