Bungie's Destiny News: Developer States Intention to "Push This Game As Far" As Possible on All Systems

Bungie is currently hard at work finishing Destiny, their ambitious new game, and though they have not revealed many details about the game, the Halo developer has given lots of hints about what players can expect from the game. Speaking to X360 Magazine, Joe Staten from Bungie was able to reveal more about the game, from how cross-platform game will perform, to shared experiences in the game and the customizable aspects of the open-world shooter.

Staten made it clear that while players can play Destiny alone, it's the shared experiences with other players that will bring out the uniqueness of the game.

"Could we really make a world that's not just shared with two or three other people on your couch, but could we make it shared with dozens, hundreds of other people?...And for a long time we thought 'well, we could do these innovations, but is it going to result in a better game?' And what's really great now, as we play the game at our desks every day, we really see that paying off. The investment is worth it," he said.

Staten also revealed that Destiny allows players to fully customize their character, and those customizations will define that character no matter what game mode is being played.

"In Destiny, your character is your character. No matter where you go in the story or the co-operative activities or competitive multiplayer, you will always have that character and it will persist from one mode to another.That is the big difference when it comes to character customisation in Destiny. You are you no matter where you go in the world."

Destiny is slated for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 4, and the game is heavily rumored to be coming to the next-gen Xbox, PC, Wii U, and Vita. Whatever platform gamers buy the game for, Staten has assured fans that they will get the full Destiny experience.

"Anytime you get your hands on new hardware you're going to try and take advantage of everything it has to offer...I know coming up at E3 we'll be talking more about the specific features, but just like with any hardware leap, absolutely, we're going to push this game as far [as] it can be pushed on whatever platform."
