The premise of Destiny is admirable, but there are still a number of enquiries that fans have regarding the new title. Fortunately a few questions may have been addressed in a recent interview between Bungie design director Joe Staten and IGN, in which Staten elaborated on a handful of the story-related co-op mechanics that’ll be present in the game.
Co-operative play will have a huge role in Destiny, and player options will also be in abundance regardless of whether or not users trek through the world solo or with a friend. One of the most important things that Bungie is striving for with its new game, according to Staten, is creating a rich history with the universe that conveys a strong feeling and bestows a sense of determination to newcomers.
One of the key features that’s been confirmed is the ever-changing environment found within the game itself, and while Bungie isn’t elaborating on how the environment itself will continuously alter, it’s dedicated to generating one of the most expansive in-game universes ever conceived.
Last, but certainly not least, Joe Staten elaborated on the foes that’ll await players in Destiny. Since there are several different enemy factions that can be found roaming the world, there’ll be a variety of unique player experiences and specific tactics required to put baddies in the ground.
Given the ambitions of Mr. Staten, and everyone else under the employ of Bungie, it’ll be interesting to see how the final product turns out. With Halo 5 already in development (presumably for the next-gen Xbox), it’ll be fun to see how the two games eventually stack up to one another, although the elongated development period for Destiny may very well prove to be a deciding factor.
