Bungie Officially Announced a Destiny Sequel


Last week Kotaku reported a leaked image of a possible Destiny sequel – the leaked image came from an Italian retailer. The report noted that there will be an upcoming beta (PS4 first) and a release date of September 8, 2017, three years after the original launch. Yesterday, Bungie’s Twitter account revealed a logo for Destiny 2 However, Bungie and Activision have yet to confirm the details about the beta and release date, but says it is on track to release this fall. Destiny 2 was rumored to be released on PC as well as PS4 and Xbox One. There are still no confirmation about the PC version.

Bungie has been updating and adding DLC throughout Destiny’s life cycle. There has been four major DLCs added and a couple of major free updates. First DLC being: The Dark Below in 2014, House of Wolves in 2015 (May), The Taken King in 2015 (September), and Rise of Iron in 2016. Recently, Bungie announced they will be releasing a last piece of free update for Destiny called, Age of Triumph.

Age of Triumph changes multiple aspect of the game: A Revamped Classic Raids and Weekly Raid Playlist – with new weapons and armor, Weekly Story Playlist changes – are now themed based, Nightfall and Strike changes – new mode called Daybreak Strikes which combines Epic and mayhem modifiers, new quests exclusive to Age of Triumph, and a New Record Book. There are many other changes in this update before the release of Destiny 2. Look forward for the Age of Triumph update releasing March 28, which is today.

Destiny has built an amazing community that stuck through its worst and greatest time. The excitement of Destiny 2 brings past, present, and new players to the game once again. A fresh new take on Destiny allows many other players to have a brand-new start with the franchise – hopefully new players from the PC (if released) side will have some ground. 



UPDATE: Bungie just released a 1 minute teaser trailer for Destiny 2. The full worldwide reveal trailer will air on Thursday March 30th. The trailer starts off with an Exo named, Cayde-6. Cayde-6 tells a humorous story about the firefights he has had.

Final Fantasy 14’s Beautiful and Interesting Landscapes

Final Fantasy as a series – has always had incredible graphics from character models to vistas and landscapes. This day in age graphics aren’t as important as they use to be, but boy there have been some amazing sights only videogames can create . Final Fantasy 14 might not be the best looking Final Fantasy , but it is the best looking MMO. I’ve been playing for two weeks now and over that time I got time to explore FF14 ’s latest expansion Stormblood. I’m going to show pictures of all the landscapes and vistas I loved, while giving some lore bits with some photos. Baelsar’s Wall Here we see Baelsar’s Wall. A wall built under the late conqueror Gaius van Baelsar dividing Eorzea and Ala Mhigo. The wall was built to keep primals (summons) out of Ala Mhigo and other Garlean territories. Eorzea has primals because aether cyrstals are more prominent, and for four years we’ve been fighting them to save Eorzea. Now, we head to the east to liberate Ala Mhigo and Doma.  S...

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...

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 ...
