After taking the stage for the first time ever with Sony PlayStation, the developer answers fan mail.
What differences will there be between current gen and next-generation versions of the game?
We’ve been planning for multiple hardware platforms from the very beginning, and while we can’t get into the minute technical details of each console, we’re fully committed to delivering our full vision for Destiny on every console we ship on. Currently, that list is PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
What was Bungie's response to the public announcement of Destiny and to the welcome of PlayStation 4 players?
Well, we sort of saw it coming, so we had you at an advantage. It’s a new and exciting time for everyone Bungie; just as we hope it’s an exciting time for the Bungie Community. Though we have shipped PlayStation titles in the past, it certainly feels like we’re breaking new ground, and that gets us very hopeful for the future.
Who do we thank for the new mobile site?
Our web team, of course. Right now, they’re implementing a few tweaks and upgrades – nothing too major – but just like Bungie.net on the web, they’re committed to a pretty ambitious calendar of upgrades to coincide with the road to Destiny’s launch.
It’s the same core crew that built the “New Hotness” all the way back in 2004 to support Halo 2, only now they’ve been augmented with some new blood, some new technologies, and a new philosophy that we think will blow your mind. They’re going to be kicking things off prior to launch this time around, as well. We look forward to the day when you’ll get your hands on it.
How cooperative has Activision been with Destiny and Bungie?
Their passion for games has been apparent every step of the way, but it’s not our job to sell you on the merits of Activision. Our priority is shipping the best experience we can. Activision is fully aligned with that goal.
What was the general consensus at Bungie about the reaction to the unveil of the new universe?
This week, you would be hard-pressed to see a single one of us who wasn’t excited to see our work out in the open, officially for the first time. It’s nice to be able to say “Destiny” out loud. It’s also very nice to know that one of the biggest complaints is that people want to see more. We can do that. There’s so much more to come.
