Destiny: Bungie Shoots For The Stars

The time for supposition and speculation is almost at an end. Over the past few weeks, weve been party to a slew of firm details and had extensive hands-on time with Bungie and Activisions sci-fi epic, Destiny. Between IGNs own deep dive into Bungies next great hope, the finer points of Destinys PlayStation exclusive content and the recent alpha phase, weve been spoiled for information in which to revel ahead of Destinys September 9 release date.

However, there remains one question that has gone unanswered and its an important one. So, when I sit down opposite Bungies vivacious community manager, David DeeJ Dague, I politely wait for his lively introductory chatter to cease before leaning in close to strike to the very heart of one of Destinys most pressing concerns.

Why..., I ask, pausing for dramatic effect ...can you dance?

I expect my Putlizer Prize is already on its way.

Well, you can dance if you want to, answers Dague, quick as a whippet. You can leave your friends behind, he leans in closer still. Cos your friends dont dance and if they dont dance then theyre no friends of mine. Well played, DeeJ, well played.

Quite aside from offering a mischievous community manager the opportunity to troll the press with a 1980s Canadian pop song, there is another, more relevant reason for being able to bust a move in 2014s biggest video game sci-fi event.

So, in actual fact, you can dance because the communication in Destiny is in some ways non-verbal; we have enough experience with online games to know that sharing voice chatter in games needs to be a very intimate, consensual agreement, Dague answers more seriously but with a telltale twinkle in his eye.



At the same time, this game is social and co-operative and so you will encounter people in the wild who you want to co-operate with. Now, maybe thats to say thank you or to point to something or even just to sit down to indicate to someone that youre fetching another beer, so the dance is just a little reminder that at the end of the day we are making a game and that its fun.

For a company thats spent much of this century involved in creating and evolving the sci-fi epic Halo franchise and is now responsible for building an even more ambitious proposition thats costing an estimated $500m to launch, its refreshing that those involved can still find time to remember that games are meant to be fun - I cant say for certain at this stage, but Id be willing to bet that Halo 5 wont have dancing in it.

Believe it or not, putting dancing in Destiny is not the pinnacle of Bungies achievements. However, that simple, amusing act of pushing right on the D-pad to watch your formidable Hunter, Titan or Warlock go all Daft Punk for a few seconds, encapsulates Bungies attempts to surprise its players in unexpected ways.

Its something that Destiny has been doing since its inception. For while were all obsessed with pigeon-holing things in order to better understand them, Destiny has repeatedly shown that this first-person, third-person, co-operative, competitive, single-player, multiplayer shooter-RPG-MMO-adventure has often defied such straightforward categorisation. Those initial glimpses that had Bungies devout following concerned that Destiny was a flashy-looking MMO have given way to something else. Now, theres the experiential realisation that teaming-up with a random stranger for variable periods of time in order to achieve a particular task before once more going your own way brings to mind the likes of Journey and Dark Souls even more readily than it does World of Warcraft or Guild Wars.



Its this constant ability for Bungie and Destiny to defy expectation that stands Destiny in such good stead and gives us reason to be very optimistic of its ability to delight and to draw players in with its impressively wide scope.

I hope that Destinys ability to surprise will be emblematic for a lot of our players, relays community manager Dague. I want it to expose them to new experiences that they might not have imagined for themselves in the manner in which the game will be competitive, co-operative and social. So, for someone who might think of themselves as a certain type of gamer theyll find themselves branching off into some of these new activities because theyre part of this world that they love to explore.

However, the thing about Destiny that I think its important for players to understand is that they have full control over their level of social engagement. I dont want people to feel that they cant have that experience of I just want to play a Bungie game, I just want to be told a great science-fiction story and feel like a badass and I dont want to have to convince other people to co-operate with me to be able to do that.

A Fireteam of one is always welcome in Destiny and that Fireteam of one can go all the way through the story and experience every little Eureka moment thats secreted away. For those that really dont want to engage online theyre totally empowered to be the strong, silent type.

Evidently, Bungie is very aware that if its to succeed with Destiny in 2014 and beyond it must somehow find a way to be many things to many people. It must offer a thrilling and seamless multiplayer element while delivering compelling content for those playing alone. It must also maintain the high level of authored story-telling and the visual and aural fidelity that has long marked Bungie as a video game superpower.

Destiny aims to deliver on all these fronts straight off the bat and, in this respect, is the developers most ambitious title to date by far. Looking back all the way to 2001, Bungie was a very different animal and while the Halo series grew in scope, ambition and technical achievement, Destiny exceeds everything the developer attempted with its now iconic series.



Bungie has worked hard to earn its deserved reputation for excellence but with its achievements and increased ambition comes unprecedented expectation. That said part of Bungies own evolution has involved understanding that expectation and learning how to meet and even exceed it.

I dont think theres anybody out there who can have as great an expectation of Bungie as Bungie itself, insists Dague. Were our own harshest critic and our own fiercest competitor. When we say that we make games that we want to play ourselves that is a rock solid truth of our creative process.

No doubt there will be many eyes watching what Halo becomes under 343 Industries guiding hand but Destiny stands an evolution of the sci-fi concept that Bungie has spent over 14 years developing and will spend many more years supporting.

Happily, no matter where Destiny takes us in the years to come, it looks as though one thing will remain true.

We always need to ensure that we have a sense of humour about ourselves because while theres this serious side: (and here Dague adopts a dramatic, film-trailer style voice over) Youre going to go out into the stars to liberate everything that weve lost and face the unfathomable darkness... He cracks a smile, Youre still going to have time to dance.

I dont know about you, but Im sure in the mood for dancing.
