OXM UK: "Bungie has spent the past four years building a "state of the art" engine for its new shooter Destiny, senior engineers have revealed, and the developer expects that engine to last it an entire decade."
Bungie - "Join our development team to see the new updates arriving with Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Releasing on June 4, 2024."
Amid ongoing anxiety within Bungie following layoffs last year, the studio is now preparing for another shakeup, this time on Marathon.
Talk about mismanaged Bungie is a studio of tremendous potential and have made some of the greatest shooters to date. Sony pushed them to just make another Destiny style game and consult on other studios live service games and are now getting thrown under a bus as the pivot away from predominantly gaas games is unfolding.
I'd love to see a world where Bungie can focus on telling great sci fi stories again away from a live service dungeon but we all know that's a pipe dream
This studio has had three owners and its never worked well with any of them....Management has issues
Destiny 2’s game director Joe Blackburn is stepping down ahead of The Final Shape, leaving Tyson Green to take the reins of the PS5 and Xbox FPS.
As someone who bought every story DLC for DESTINY 2 but not every season. the first thing I would do as game director is , if anybody pre-orders The ?Final Shape , they will be able to play all older DLC and seasons with purchase of FINAL SHAPE. . I think that would bring back a lot of DESTINY 2 plsyers who have not experienced the seasons a chance to play season activities before Final Shape comes out.
"The world builder is designed for maximum efficiency, Chen explained, allowing artists to effect changes in a fraction of the time it would have taken them using older tech."
That's fantastic to hear. Updates and content will be far easier to maintain with that kind of system, meaning that we benefit from efficient workers who enjoy creating for us.
I really cannot wait for this game.
Nice to know that the engine's efficient to build with, and that they've tucked back all the online features nicely, but it sure doesn't look all that spectacular in the footage they've released.
They sure know how to use words efficiently, but the only thing concrete they showed so far was a 4 min making-of with a few seconds of in-game footage. That's pretty weak for somehting they've been developping for such a long time now. Show us more before making such statements.
Bungie's got a very efficient engine for X360. I expect even better for the next gen.
Just like CoD's
