What kind of game is Destiny? |
Bungie calls Destiny a "shared" first person shooter. It will require an always-on Internet connection and allow players to interact in ways that are intended to be both more pervasive and seamless than traditional online FPS or MMOFPS games. It will not have a subscription fee and is not considered an MMO by Bungie. Bungie employees described a style of play that might best be categorized as drop-in, drop-out coop with no lobbies or menus, similar to the Sony PlayStation 3 title Journey.

What kind of world is the setting of Destiny? |
Destiny is apparently set 700 years in the future. Humanity, once masters of their own solar system, have been chased back onto their home planet. They might have been extinguished if not for the Traveler, a mysterious sphere that now hovers over the Earth's surface. Humanity's last city, which the player is tasked to protect as a Guardian, is directly beneath the Traveler-- and Guardians have access to some of the Traveler's mysterious powers. Players can expect to be able to visit many locations within the solar system and encounter several alien species who have encroached upon it. The ViDoc either mentions or shows such locations as Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Earth's moon. |
