Dinklage Is Out; Nolan Is In

ghost.png

When The Taken King launches, you won't be hearing Peter Dinklage as your Ghost anymore - even if you start the game over. Nolan North (who Bungie fans will remember as Romeo from ODST) is not only recording the dialogue for your Ghost for the forseen future, but also re-recording all of the previous lines by Dinklage as well. (CougRon was first on our forum in reporting this huge news from Game Informer.)

Destiny Levels Up... Differently This Time!

Destiny's Year One is about to leave behind levels associated with your gear. Game Informer says it well:

Players earn XP by killing monsters, completing missions, and turning in bounties, as has always been the case, but that experience now feeds directly into your level progression all the way from 1 to the new level cap of 40."

The article also touches on a revision to the loot-drop system: it will now check your existing gear so you won't keep seeing repeats and more. (Thanks Speed.)

Taken King Takes Game Informer

Destiny's new expansion will be this month's cover article for Game Informer. They'll be teasing out all the tidbits they learned from Bungie as time goes on at this hub page. We'll hit the highlights here in a moment, but just from their cover-reveal article once can gleam a number of things (as Speedracer513 points out), like new in-game cutscenes!

Fate of All Fools - got one yet?

Wow, we're behind on stuff. Sorry! This showed up a couple of days ago - the folks at Planet Destiny got together with Bkbunny87, whose husband was awarded the exotic gun 'Fate of All Fools' 6 months ago, far in advance of its release to the general public (you can earn a bounty for it in the Trials of Osiris now). Eric's story is a touching one - if you don't know it, swing by and read the details at reddit. But back to the news at hand! At some point in the past, the PD folks contacted Bkbunny87, and got access to her husband's account for a short time, to create some footage showing off how the gun performs in the Crucible. They promised not to release this footage until House of Wolves dropped, which is why we are seeing it now. What a great story - and what a great gun! Thanks, unoudid.

Destiny: Six Years in the Making

Gamespot has posted the recording of Chris Butcher's talk at GDC this year titled "Destiny: Six Years in the Making." You can watch it over on their site or on their Youtube channel, and here is Bungie's own description of the talk:

At Bungie, we built games based on the Halo engine for ten years. However, by 2008 it was beginning to show its age and there were many core systems that were ill-suited to a modern game development environment. For our new game, Destiny, we sought to develop an engine that would last us just as long as the Halo engine had. This talk will cover the six-year development arc of the Destiny engine, from inception to ship.

(Thanks to uberfoop for posting about it on the forum, even if I didn't notice until after the fact!)

The Quiet Destiny and Its Evolution

eurogamer.pngWe haven't been able to catalog every article that's sprung up about Destiny since its release (I keep getting distracted at work checking out every dark office I walk by for tinkling sounds and blue lights, sorry) but here's a couple of decent ones from EuroGamer that DaDerga pointed out to us. The first discusses Destiny's quiet moments and some of the awe to be found therein. The other is a technical summary of the changes Destiny went through between it's first gameplay reveal to what's in your hands. Enjoy!

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.

The Dark Below

joystiq.pngBefore he was DBO-fied, Xenos let us know that Joystiq posted a little interchange with Bungie's Jonty Barnes, Director of Production, mostly concerning the first Destiny expansion, The Dark Below. There's also a few other details about the Beta, and how Bungie will keep upgrading and growing Destiny consistently as opposed to just releasing it, a few DLC, and moving onto the next project.

We're going to change the game after launch in a frequency that we think makes sense, and that isn't going to be dependent on The Dark Below."

Pushing the Activity Boundaries

doom.pngOur forum is alive and kicking with tons of fun Beta activities; here's a small rundown.

  • Cody Miller posted a speedrun of the Dark Within story mission. That ending was... unexpected.
  • petetheduck pointed out a video from Team LAG that shows you how to glitch into an area called 'King's Watch' and explore a pretty huge (but normally inaccessible) space. (That Ultra Captain looks... dangerous.)
  • The same team used the same technique to get out of the map near the Jovian Complex. Awesome stuff.
  • GrimBrother One noticed a bunch of people playing a different sort of game in the Tower.
  • Avateur showed off a Tree Party and a wall-climbing glitch - there's tons more fun than just shooting bad guys to be had in Destiny!

Get to E3 this year - on someone else's dime

game.pngIf you live in the UK (or Ireland), GAME might be able to get you to E3 - they're offering an all-expense-paid trip for two in a giveaway that requires you only to do some tweeting (and following). Nice! (When I mentioned this on our forum, Doooskey pointed out that EA was offering a similar deal here in the US, as well... sign up!)

Bungie's Date with Destiny

eurogamer.pngEurogamer has released another Destiny article - but this one looks more at the studio behind the game than at the game itself. It's a pretty interesting read, covering ground not really covered before. Bungie has been on its own before (in the 90s), and it's been wholly owned by a much bigger fish (when it was a Microsoft subsidiary), and it's now somewhere in the middle; it's beholden to Activision (simply by dint of the huge amount of cash poured into the studio from Activision coffers), but it's still its own company, capable of making decisions it couldn't make while part of Microsoft. Eurogamer tried to get a handle on how this is working - go give it a read! Credit, almost inevitably these days, goes to Xenos for the find.

Eurogamer sees Diablo in Destiny

Being True to Themselves
