Destiny 2 Interviews and Info

With a big event like the reveal from yesterday a lot of news sites got to try and tease some more information out of Bungie as well. Lots of details were confirmed, and here are some of the more interesting interviews and posts I found:

Playstation Access Interview with DeeJ

IGN Fireteam Chat (has a couple interviews with Mark Noseworthy and Luke Smith)

Gigz Interview with Tocom (Kevin Yanes)

Gaming Age Interview with Lars Bakken

There's a lot more out there too, if you have any news posts we should highlight let us know on the forum!

WELCOME TO A WORLD WITHOUT LIGHT

Another little tease came down today about the direction of Destiny 2, as many popular Destiny Twitch streamers and YouTubers received boxes from Activision PR and were finally allowed to post about the contents this morning at 11am EST.

The boxes contained invitations to the Worldwide Gameplay Premiere of Destiny 2, to be held at the Jet Center in Los Angeles on May 18, 2017.  It seems that the reveal will be done "press conference"-style, with "a couple hundred" people being invited reportedly.

The most interesting thing about the package is the card that says, "Welcome to a World Without Light" with an accompanying image of a dead Ghost.

Check out the images in this tweet by tripleWRECK:

Bite-Sized Backstory - Oryx's End

The pattern we've followed to this point with Ragashingo's Bite-Sized Backstory episodes has been to provide a front-page newspost for every three installments. However, with Number 26, Raga has come to the end of Oryx's story, so we're posting just the two most recent:

  1. The Harmony and the Ahamkara
  2. The Last Musings of Oryx

These are also both available in our BSB Archive, if you'd rather read them there. While he's finished Oryx's story, he's not done with his series; next up is the Fallen! Keep your eyes peeled.

Bite-sized Backstory - Batch 7 (plus a new home)

Ragashingo's posted another three installments of his 'Bite-Sized Backstory'; follow along as Oryx punishes one offspring and receives gifts from another, fights with a Vex mind, and discovers a long-sought prize.

  1. Crota's Punishment and Oryx's Plans
  2. End of Failed Timeline
  3. The Gift Mast and Dragons?!

We've finally set up a local place to read these; if you're starting from scratch, just visit the Bite-sized Backstory page itself, but if you'd just like to read these latest three, in order, you can do that at this link.

GDC '15 - Multithreading the Entire Destiny Engine

Threading.png

It's been a while since we've seen a Bungie presentation from the GDC (David Candland's UI talk back in April of last year was our most recent one), but a new one has been uploaded to the GDC's Youtube page. In their own words:

"Bungie's Barry Genova explains how Bungie turned almost every part of Destiny's engine into a job graph, with only limited use of thread-based pre-emption."

Sounds like valuable insight into Destiny's engine and the testing that goes into it, especially for those who think that making a change to the game is as simple as "changing a few values", or "adding if/then scripts".
Thanks, INSANEdrive, for the heads up!

Edit: Pyromancy highlighted a previous GDC talk that is referenced in the above presentation, where former Bungie employee Natalya Tatarchuk discusses Destiny's Multithreaded Rendering Architecture, which has been reported on before in a different capacity. Lots of neat stuff to read and watch!

HandmadeCon 2016 - Asset Systems and Scalability


This video was released almost 3 weeks ago, but hey - eggnog can make you groggy! Chris Butcher, Engineering Director at Bungie, gave a talk (well, participated in a one-on-one technical discussion, really) at HandmadeCon this past November, focusing on Asset Systems and Scalability. It's not really aimed at casual viewers; it's pretty technical, and might be boring to folks uninterested in programming. However, if this is your cup of tea, it's FASCINATING, and full of honest evaluation of an aspect of Bungie's workflow for Destiny. If you're interested in some of the differences between Halo and Destiny, under the hood, watch this. Thanks to Cody Miller for finding it. (The discussion on our forum might be of interest, as well.)

The Dawning Sunset - and what's left

Bungie, also, wished everyone a Happy New Year - and summarized which parts of The Dawning would remain in play after the mini-event came to a close this past Tuesday. It's a sizeable list! Take a look.

Bite-Sized Backstory - Batch 6

Well, we hope your end-of-year celebrations were epic. (And we hope they're not the last ones ever, but that's another story.) Ragashingo finished up another three installments of his 'Bite-Sized Backstory' series, and we're here to bring them to you. These focus on the more recent conquests of Oryx - and maybe some tie-ins with previous Bungie games. Go give 'em a read!

  1. Oryx's Pyramid Scheme
  2. The End of an Age
  3. Majestic Battles and Waves

If you're starting from scratch, here are some older links: Batch 1 | Batch 2 | Batch 3/4 | Batch 5

The Dawning


Ready for the return of SRL? Bungie's breaking the ice with this trailer for "The Dawning", which showcases all of the neat things coming with the update on December 13. Make some room in your vault for some sweet new loot, including an updated Ice Breaker!

Bite-Sized Backstory - Batch 5

Three more chapters in Ragashingo's Bite-Sized Backstory series have been posted, so it's time to remind you about them again. The battle is joined; Oryx (Auryx/Aurash) and his sisters take on the Ecumene. What does this all mean? Go read 'em!

  1. The Amiable Ecumene
  2. Oryx - The Taken King
  3. War and Trickery

(The first batch is here, if you haven't started at the beginning yet, and the second batch is here.)

Bite-sized Backstory - Batch 3 (and 4?)

When Ragashingo started posting his 'Bite-sized Backstory' essays, I promised to keep you informed as new ones came out. I've been lax. (To be fair, I was out of state - and mostly off the internet - when 7, 8, and 9 came out... but still.) If you haven't read any of these, you should start at the beginning: Raga's been telling the backstory of Destiny in a way that the average person, who might not have time to go through ALL the Grimoire cards (and figure out their order), can understand. He's also been doing a nice job of keeping track of updates himself, so once you start reading them on our forum, you can easily step through to the end. However, I'm STILL going to link to the last 6 he's posted... because I want all of the pieces linked in our database as well.

  1. The Go[o]d Worms
  2. The Conquest of Fundament
  3. Auryx's Sadness
  1. The Birth of the Hive
  2. Rampant Speculation 1
  3. War on Life

Catch up, read 'em all... they're fantastic!

Destiny Machinima: A Nightfall at the Movies

It's not often that fan videos get highlighted on the front page, but it's not often that folks are willing to put the extra work required to make a Destiny machinima, either. The fine folks over at Creators of Valhalla are clearly up to the task, however, and have put together a fine tribute tale of horror about the spookiest of all enemies, Stormcallers... Check it out!

Bite-sized Backstory - Batch 2

A couple of weeks ago, we mentioned Ragashingo's Bite-sized Backstory series, a novel approach to the Destiny Grimoire. There was a promise of periodic reminders, as the series continued. Looks like the period is 3 episodes, because last night he posted Episode 6, and today we're gathering the new ones. Again - this is a way of understanding the backstory of Destiny, as presented in the Grimoire cards, without trying to figure out the proper order, and sometimes without having to interpret. A fantastic reference!

  1. Familiar Ideas
  2. The Ancient Needle
  3. The Cryptic Leviathan
Try 'em out - and keep coming back, it's a fascinating story!

Bite-sized Backstory - Grimoire for those with less time

Ragashingo is doing his best to make the backstory of Destiny, as presented in the Grimoire cards, more accessible to the rest of us. A few days ago, he started a series on our forum called 'Bite-sized Backstory' - and it contains easily-digestible chunks of the Destiny universe, with sources (if you want to check up on his facts). Fantastic reading! So far, there are 3 segments:

  1. Fundament
  2. The Brave Exiled Sisters
  3. The Hesitant Oath

Give these a read, then check back for updates! (We'll remind you periodically.)

All aboard!

Hobo stopped by with a pretty amazing creation - he's built a train car modeled after  one you can find in the Cosmodrome. Such detail! Swing by his forum post for a full series of pictures.
