Bungie Working To Create Destiny DLC Faster

Bungie Working To Create Destiny DLC Faster

, , , , , , 0

While Destiny wasn’t exactly met with outstanding critical acclaim when it first released, it has continued to have a dedicated fan following who regularly play the game. Even these players though have come to bemoan the lack of new content that has made its way to the title to keep it from getting stale. This is largely because Bungie has concentrated on large expansions rather than a continual stream of smaller content. However, after the release of The Taken King expansion pack, the developer has moved to releasing smaller content on a more regular basis. This has included the Festival of the Lost Halloween and the Sparrow Racing League. While they are currently working on a new DLC pack called The Rise of iron, the studio is aware that they need to release extra quests, items and missions to Destiny quicker than they have in the past. “We’re trying to get better at what we do,” said Rise of Iron creative director Chris Barrett in an interview with Eurogamer, “build

E3 2016: Bungie Explains Last-Gen Content Exclusions

When Bungie revealed the Rise of Iron expansion, one thing many noticed was that last gen consoles weren’t going to get the updates. This made gamers curious as to why, to which Game Director Christopher Barrett revealed at E3: “When we’re making a game as big as Destiny is, a majority of our players are on the current gen consoles,” Barrett told IGN. “I think it’s over 90% at this point, and we’ve reached a point where if we wanted to put new stuff in the game, and we wanted to support the legacy consoles (Xbox 360 and PS3), we’d have to start taking stuff out, and we really don’t want to do that. We don’t want to make those kinds of choices, so I think it’s a logical progression.” He went on, “It’s always tough when we have to choose to support different consoles, but I think it’s the right decision for our fans. We want to build the best Destiny we can.” Destiny will still be playable, it’s

Destiny Events Delayed Due To Overpowered Glitch

, , , , , , , 0

Developer Bungie has discovered a glitch that allows players in Destiny to gain unlimited access to heavy ammo. As such, the upcoming Trial of Osiris and Iron Banner events have been delayed until the glitch is fixed. They stated on the Bungie Blog: “When we learned that some Guardians had discovered a way to earn unlimited rockets, we knew it was time for a bug hunt. Rather than punish players for playing the game in a way we didn’t predict, we’ve been waging an investigation into our code. These things happen, so please don’t panic. We’re on the case – and we’ve slayed more dreaded bugs than these. The thought of a Trials map being renamed “Rocket Town” sends a shiver up our spine. The esteemed Brother Vance will be ordered to stand down. Trials of Osiris will return of course – and that right soon – but we’re going to ensure that we can restore the Heavy economy to its usual balance. We know this will come as a

Destiny is a game that keeps getting bigger. Now, it can add a Beatle to its credit list in the form of Sir Paul McCartney. Though how it came to be was a process in and of itself. In an interview IGN, Destiny composer Marty O’Donnel talked about how he dreamed about having McCartney on his team for the game in some way, but it seemed unlikely: “For years at our studio, [Marty and his co-writer Mike] would tell our receptionist to hold all our calls – unless it’s Spielberg,” O’Donnell recalls. “That was the funny thing to say. We might have said ‘Hold all our calls unless it’s McCartney,’ but that would be like, sacrilegious. We would never use a Beatle as a joke. That was so out of reach.” But sure enough, it did happen. He reached out, and McCartney was interested, so they talked: “We sat down, we talked, he had his bagel and tea, and I started showing him like, ‘Here’s how music in games works,

Your Fireteam materializes on the surface of your favorite map in a haze of luminous energy.

You sprint down a lane that leads to that sweet spot where you always teach a clinic on how to kick some ass. How will the February Update change the Special Ammo economy in the Crucible?
