Full IGN Destiny 2 Interview

There were a few pieces of this interview in the IGN Fireteam Chat linked in the previous post, but the full 30+ minute interview is up now with quite a bit of information about framerates, some features at launch, and design decisions. See it embedded below:

GDC '15 - Multithreading the Entire Destiny Engine

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!

IGN Fireteam Chat With DeeJ and Scott Taylor

For their E3 episode of Fireteam Chat IGN sat down with DeeJ and Scott Taylor to discuss Rise of Iron and answer some questions from fans. Good small bits of information in there, as well as the mindset behind some of the changes and updates. Watch below or on Youtube!

"Tenacious Design and The Interface of Destiny" Now Online!

It took a while, but David Candland's GDC presentation on UI design (mentioned here back in March) is now online over at the GDC Vault! An incredibly in-depth look behind the scenes of what it took to bring Destiny's Director and UI to life, straight from Evil Otto himself. A highly recommended watch.

Lars Takes Us Through the New Crucible Changes

Design Lead Lars Bakken sat down and talked to Game Informer about all the major changes that The Taken King will bring to the Crucible, whether that's new modes like Rift and Mayhem, or sandbox tweaks to Thorn and Blink. Great video! Electricpirate was first on our forum.

Sleeper Simulant Preview

In the Taken King a brand new exotic is being introduced: The Sleeper Simulant, a Fusion Rifle that will reside in your heavy slot. In their continued coverage of The Taken King this month, Game Informer talked to Bungie about its design, how to get it, and took a look at it in action. There's even a video to see how it fires in game! Go take a look!

IGN Interviews DeeJ

Destiny: The People's Champion

Destiny may not have won any awards from critics or official awards at Gamescom, but it DID win one prestigious award: The People's Choice Award on IGN. Looks like some people are hyped for September 9th!

The Beginning of the End... er, the End of the Beginning?

IGN continues their vigilant coverage of Destiny in an interview with Bungie's Luke Smith on what happens once you start to finish the basic game and the "endgame" opens up. One of these elements is the mysterious Raid, and there's a lot of words dedicated to it. Sounds exciting and challenging! Much thanks to our local news-cryptarch, Xenos.

Post-Beta

JDQuakers let us know that IGN has a Q & A with Bungie's Urk right here. Some interesting talk on the reasoning behind certain decisions like player names as well as which aspects of the game are still in some deliberation, like voice communication, thanks to Beta feedback.

Personally, I'd be fine with not talking to strangers, though I could see some more Fable-esque emotes, like acting like a chicken or farting for example, could be instrumental in challenging missions.

IGN takes a look inside the Destiny Operations Center

IGN is at it again, this time with a short feature on Bungie's Destiny Operations Center, arguably the bridge of the good ship Destiny; a post manned 24/7 to monitor the goings-on with the game world.  Not a ton of info to be gleaned about the technology itself, but more about the mindset of the team behind this brave new world and future they have planned for it.  Go read and discuss                                                                  in our forum!

IGN Tours the Tower with Urk

IGN has a new video up of a walking tour of the Tower given by urk. It covers lots of details which may already be old hat to those who've been enjoying the beta thus far; but also teases some "freaky" stuff that might interest even those well acquainted with the Guardians' refuge above the city.  Go take a look!   (Thanks goes to bluerunner in our forum.)
