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.

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 ...

My Game of the Year (2017) – Destiny 2 #3

There was a lot of excitement for the Bungie ’s second go around with Destiny 2 . There was a lot of controversy over what was changed and what didn’t return from the first Destiny .  At first the changes were for the better, it allowed new players to finally wrap their head around the system that was difficult to process in original Destiny.   Rising reputation with an NPC is one change that was assessable newcomers. In Destiny 1 it always felt like a chore, because of the bounty system. This system made it a more difficult task due to the action associated with the bounty – this can range from headshots with a sniper in PvP to complete 3 strikes. With Destiny 2 , the reputation is more streamline with turn-in tokens. Earning these tokens are common and I great resource of gear/weapons when you’re first starting out. These tokens are associated with each planet. Its great Bungie is listening to the players and in doing so, made an assessable loot shooter for the ca...

My 2016 Game of the Year: # 5 Firewatch

#5 Firewatch When I first saw early builds of Firewatch I thought it was a different and new approach in an engaging narrative. The way you can interact with objects and the small clues you can find within the environment provides more life to the world. Firewatch was the first game I played in the genre, but there are other games that have the same kind of first-person narrative. Gone Home is one of the recent and well-received first-person narrative game. The two games are similar in gameplay, you walk from objective to objective trying to put the pieces together in the world. Gone Home is set in a house, and in Firewatch’s case, you’re in an open forest. Campo Santo are the developers of Firewatch and was formed by former Telltales: The Walking Dead developers. Once I knew about Campo Santo and the developers that were working on the game I had a sense of what to expect. Character Building Makes You Sympathize with Henry The game starts strong with a se...
