Destiny’s Sequel is Coming to PC


Bungie’s first-person shooter has been a console exclusive ever since its launch in 2014. Reported by Kotaku’s Jason Schreier and a NeoGaf poster that goes by benny_a – Destiny 2 will be coming to PC. The sequel to Destiny is reportedly slated for late 2017.  Players with high-end computers will be able see Destiny’s universe in a different light. Without the limitations of last generation consoles Destiny can do things that couldn’t be done before. Bungie wants Destiny 2 to be a fully new game, not just an expansion that adds to the base game.
The rumor was first spotted in a NeoGaf post saying that he knew someone at Activision. That person then traveled from plane to train and was shown a presentation on a laptop. Benny_a continues to say that Vicarious Vision and High Moon will help with the project. And oh yeah, matchmaking is in the sequel.

Vicarious Vision has been around since 1990 and partnered with Activision in 2005. Over the years they have made licenses products. They’re releasing a new game in a couple weeks, Skylanders Imaginators – Crash Edition. High Moon is the other studio that will help Bungie with Destiny 2 – on Activision’s behalf. High Moon Studios worked on the first Destiny and has made some good games over its lifespan like, Call of Duty: Advance Warfare, Deadpool (2013), and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. With so much support for Destiny 2 I can’t see it falling short like base Destiny did.
In Kotaku’s Article, Bungie wants Destiny 2 to be a full sequel even if it means scraping everything from the original game. Planets, characters, strikes, raids, and personal characters, all gone. Jason also says,” People connected to Bungie have made comparisons to Diablo 2, which iterated on the first game in some incredible ways.” I don’t have context for diablo 2’s development but diablo 3 had some changes to it that made the game great in many ways. An associate developer said that,” The Taken King was a reboot for Destiny 1 to fix small things. This is the overhaul to fix big bugs (Destiny 2).”

The article explained “play-in destination” this is a new feature Bungie actively wants. They want every planet to feel lived in, more populated with interesting things and objectives to do. This is aiming more towards an MMO like structure. Moving from place to place doing quest after quest to get the best equipment possible.
Bungie and Activision now have the potential to tap-in the PC audience. And with the way Destiny 2 is looking, it’s going to be a brand new game. A complete sequel will re-brand Destiny, all the issues and problems from vanilla Destiny will be forgotten if they put the right pieces in place for the sequel. The fact that Bungie is even thinking about a PC version of Destiny creates excitement for me and even the community. What do you think about Destiny coming to PC? write it in the comments below.

Destiny 2’s New “Gambit” Mode Revived the Game’s Competitive Scene

Destiny 2’s competitive scene has always been a second thought compared to the co-op PvE activities. At the launch of Destiny 2 Bungie tried a different more team-play orientated approach with an all 4v4 pvp match-up. Over time players got tired of that formula, especially, the way players were strategizing. The only way to be competitive is to team-shot a player at long distance, this was the only way everyone played. This kept the matches long and stale. Bungie understood the frustration and decided that they will change something about the Crucible (PvP). In July, Bungie pushed an update that changed the 4v4 format for Crucible to a 6v6, just how it was like in Destiny 1. Adding two more players on a team might not seem like a big change, but it completely changes how freely your team can strategize, this is especially true with solo matchmaking. Bungie knocked it out of the park with this change, of course they had a lot of help from the community. The community wanted th...

Mario Tennis Aces “Swing Mode” is Really Disappointing

Mario Tennis Aces is the latest entry to the Mario Tennis series. This time around Nintendo did no wrong with their tennis series giving us an adventure mode where you move from level to level to complete a series of challenges, a fun online/offline tournament, and exciting local play. I haven’t played the Mario Tennis series since the GameCube days, but I’m having as much fun as I did back then, expect for one mode that made me hate motion controls. During the lead up to launch I had questions about full motion controls, if they would support it for full matches? Can it be an alternative? and will it be like Wii Sports or will it have depth will in the base game? These questions were answered just a couple of days before launch and I was disappointed in how Nintendo implemented the motion controls. Coming from the developers of Wii Sports and how well the motion controls worked with the tennis mini-game gave me hope that Nintendo could do something great with motion ...

The Calming, out of this World Experience from Tetris Effect is a Great Change of Pace and Emotion from Other Tetris games

Ahh, Tetris. A game that your parents and almost every other parent knows. The longevity of it has made it evolve over its existents with the “hold” mechanic – which I’ve grown up with -- and doubling down on the competitive nature of Tetris with Tetris Battle, Tetris DS, Puyo Puyo Tetris, and more. Growing up I was terrible at Tetris – making lines with falling blocks was simple enough, but I didn’t understand how to fix my mistakes. There are many insane Tetris players that I can’t even think about competing with. The stress of trying to keep the best layout of blocks while trying to keep up with my opponent is too intense for my taste. However, Tetris Effect is the total opposite of all those competitive Tetris incarnations. The way Enhanced Games and Mizuguchi plays with music and players emotions to then incorporate it into a puzzle game or even something like Rez: Infinite can give old concepts like Tetris a new breath life. Everything in Tetris Effect is amplified by x...
