The Big Game

It’s a good, healthy dose of humbling fear. That allows us to create great risks."

Our spy in the wild, DaDerga, let us know of another interview with Jonty Barnes and Jesse Van Dijk, this time by MCV, that once again covers the same ground as the interviews we've been seeing lately. Still, you haven't been keeping track, here's another chance to catch-up!

TheGamersHub has a long talk with Deej ready for viewing. Nothing really new if you've been keeping an eye out as of late...

How Big?

Gamasutra interviewed Jason Sussman about the art direction of Destiny, and since Bungie's departments work very closely he talks a lot about design and gameplay decisions. (INSANEdrive also pointed it out on the forum)

Playing Catch-Up

In the last couple of weeks there's a been a handful of articles, interviews, and news that have fallen through Vex time portals here at the DBO offices. Let's remedy that, shall we?

  • The International Business Times interviewed urk (Eric Osborne) about multiplayer, how Destiny compares to Halo, and their plans down the road. Thanks to DaDerga.
  • GameInformer verbally investigated Jonty Barnes and Derek Carroll on topics related to the Beta, like the size of levels and fireteams. Xenos was our man in the field.
  • Writer Josh Rubin departed Bungie after working on Destiny for Telltale Games' Game of Thrones adaptions.  "And while there’s a true art to 'writing between the bullets' — as Mr. Staten once said — I couldn’t turn down an offer from Telltale, to create games that are entirely about story." Gamasutra reported on this, Cody Miller let us know about it. May his nights not be "dark and full of terrors" as the Red Woman might say.
  • Forbes posted a speculative article on what Bungie should do with a $500 million budget, if they had one. Thanks goes to Korny.
  • And VG24/7 wrote an article about why Bungie should include Matchmaking for their strategic Raids mode.
Whew! Now to stay on top of things for a bit.

Giving Your Hobby Dimension

If you have access to a 3D Printer (still waiting for them to be renamed Replicators, myself), you can print off your own Duke Mk.44 thanks to Kirby Downey at MyMiniFactory. Thanks to Bluerunner for pointing it out.

On a related note, Mid7night came across a host of models you can order at Shapeways by Brickinator99, including armor and weapons, as well as a mini-Ghost for LEGO-sized figures.

Are Raids for You?

There's been some debates on our forums lately about Raids lacking matchmaking. Brenna Hillier over at VG247 wrote an interesting article about why Raiding in Destiny is not for everyone. Obviously won't end any debates, but she makes some interesting points.

Gamereactor Interviews DeeJ

Gamereactor interviewed DeeJ at Gamescom about some things to expect in Destiny when it launches. Interesting information in there, such as the confirmation of checkpoints in Raids, but the checkpoints won't last forever.

'Shotgun blast to the face beats just about everything'

Newsweek Special Edition

Originally sighted on Twitter, it looks like Newsweek will be putting out an "official collector's edition" magazine focused on Destiny. If it's not already at your local grocery/book store, it should be there tomorrow, August 19th (in the US, at least).

'We're going to grow the universe'

pike_vehicle.pngThe man who's stealing our jobs, Xenos, dropped us a note about TotalXbox.com (a.k.a Official Xbox Magazine)'s talk with Bungie at Gamescom regarding Destiny expansions. Bungie seems to have high ambitions to keep this world living and breathing, from free upgrades to paid-for heaps of content. Go read!

A 3D Ghost You Can Make Yourself

Naturl selexion dropped by our forums to show off something the Vangards would be proud of:

Have access to a 3D printer? You can go to Thingiverse and print off your very own copy. If only you could 3d-print the voice of Peter Dinklage with it, too!

A Critique of Confusion

gameinformer_logo.pngThe speedy Cody Miller pointed out an opinion piece at GameInformer regarding Destiny - specifically what the author perceives to be a confusing narrative from the start. It's not a condemning piece - the critique is coming from someone who's actually enjoying the rest of the game and it's short and sweet so give it a gander!

Wordsmithy Goodness

heroics.pngRagashingo's been hard at work crafting new stories for us to read. He submitted four new installments last week that introduce us to new characters and begin to build a latticework of connections to others we've already met.

Go read!

Guardian Radio Episode 72

g_o_d.jpgroland let us know about the latest Guardian Radio podcast - a guest host from GuardianOne.net discusses some future changes. Listen in to learn about Byf's visit to the Seattle Children's Hospital, plus a wrapup of the Beta (through the lens of Bungie's released stats). Good stuff!

Watch that Warlock High Five

gamingboltlogo.pngJason Sussman talked to GamingBolt about Destiny recently - they covered a lot of ground. (There are also a few transcription issues, so if you read something that makes you think "OMG Bungie never told us about ____" you should take it with a grain of salt.) It's a little older (the Beta is mentioned as 'upcoming'), but still has plenty of relevant info. Read it for great tidbits about background research, explorable space, multiplayer count rationale, and more!

Details emerge about Paul McCartney's Destiny Doings

A couple of days ago, Missoula radio station KMMS interviewed Paul McCartney (who was in town for a concert) - it's a 12-minute interview, and four of those minutes are devoted to Paul's involvement with Destiny! Amazing. It's a great interview in its entirety, but if you're short on time, the Destiny portion begins at about 6:25. One of the most fascinating tidbits buried in his discussion was the fact that McCartney was asked (and agreed) to contribute an entire song!

Eventually they said, "we'd like a song." So that was exciting, you know, I said, "Okay, show me the ballpark, what's the song going to follow, what's going to happen?" So that was great, and we did that.

(Thanks to Xenos, who noticed this interview at ArcadeSushi.) Hot on the heels of that information, Attack of the Fanboy purports to have a bunch of additional info about this song:

  • It will be released after the game launches
  • It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios with a 120-piece orchestra
  • It is focused on the theme of 'Hope'

They don't explain where they got this info... but we'll keep our eyes open and report any new details. 

Update: Looks like AotF found this in the New York Times. Huh.

Jack Handey would be proud

diehardgamefanlogo.pngDiehard GameFAN has an article entitled '10 Thoughts on The Destiny Beta' - they're solid thoughts. For folks following every snippet of content online, you probably won't find much new here - but for anyone who needs a quick refresher (or wants to read a summary of what we know so far from someone who's spent a little time putting ideas together), this is worth a read. Check it out!

Raiding your Friend's List

Let's catch up with some older news - there's some good stuff floating around the interwebs! Luke Smith posted a note on NeoGAF that is worth reading, if you're one of the people who've wondered about how Raids in Destiny will work - and wondered why Bungie has made it clear that you will need to put your own team together for a Raid. (At least at this stage, we've been told that the Raid will not be accessible via Matchmaking.)

That barrier to entry - the requirement that you get a group of people together and venture into something that is going to challenge your ability to work together (first) and your thumbs (second) - is a barrier I was willing to erect to preserve the activity goals.

I appreciate a developer who is willing to make decisions that don't cater to the bottom line, solely - it's refreshing! (Raid icon comes from OverwatchGraphics - definitely explore.)

I dare you to read these all at once.

walk_of_solitude.pngOver the past several days, our forums have been a hotbed of discussion and activity... but much of this content hasn't made the front page. At the risk of overwhelming you with a flood of information, I'm going to attempt to dump ALL of the recent links we've missed at one time. Whee! (At least they're slightly organized, in terms of what they're about.)

Planning Your Events

Over at reddit, shwinky has put together a Public Events guide - events seem to be timed, and Shwinky has worked out the timing. Not perfect - but pretty fantastic! Thanks, bluerunner.

Gamertag Radio #441 - Loot Lust Edition

gamertagradio.pngGamertag Radio invited DeeJ in for an interview - and it's a pretty killer episode. There's a ton of good info in there, including details about Grimoire cards, ways that clans will work, and even some tidbits about the Raid. (Not much - DeeJ wants you to experience the best parts for yourself... but more than I've heard elsewhere.) It's about an hour long, and definitely worth the listen. Check it out!

Breaking out of Old Russia

Stephen Laughlin and friends spent time this weekend trying to break out of the gamespace in the Destiny Beta. (This is a time-honored tradition when it comes to Bungie games!) They were successful in popping out - and maybe with more time, they will actually be able to explore! Go check out the antics in their YouTube vid.

Getting to Grips with Destiny

inquirer.jpgThe Inquirer has posted a hands-on preview of the Beta (pretty impressive, given that they managed to get it online before the Beta went live for most of us). Go give it a read!
