Destiny Archives

The new story content, weapons and more will be likely keep Destiny players locked in for a while. One of the big new additions will undoubtedly be the new raid, King's Fall Traditionally raids have been offered in Normal and Hard mode, but Bungie put a particular focus on Hard mode this time around In fact,[...]

This year, Xbox One players of Destiny haven't been able to get several items in Destiny due to PlayStation exclusivity There isn't too much of huge worth, but the Monte Carlo and more specifically Hawkmoon have been pretty significant absentees due to the Sony preference of the game. If you play on Xbox, there is unfortunately[...]

The Destiny soundtrack from last year had moments of pure brilliance on it I staunchly believe that it had some of the best work by Marty O'Donnell to date and may contain some of my favorite sci-fi music in years Obviously, due to recent events, he isn't back to score The Taken King sadly. None the[...]

If anyone remembers the somewhat ludicrous live action trailer for the launch of Destiny last year, it should look familiar The same three person Fireteam is out exploring Oryx's digs and it all falls on the Titan to do quippy lines and painful one liners Oh and hey, It's directed by Tron: Legacy and Oblivion helmer Joseph[...]

I see how it works the other way round all the time, but catching glimpses of huge US titles hitting Japan shores is rarer. Well, if this Destiny: The Taken King advert is anything to go by, it can get pretty intense I don't really know how big the Japanese Destiny community is, but I assume,[...]

Destiny update 2.0 went live yesterday to absolutely huge changes to the game It seems just about everything has seen a retouch that will change the way the game is played extensively I've yet to jump in, but I can't wait to see how it has panned out. If you want a ludicrously in-depth look at what is[...]

One of the problems with the last-gen version of Destiny is that the game is growing at a ludicrously vast size This is an issue for older games consoles that have smaller hard drives. Luckily, Activision have realised this and are offering a solution to dedicated players of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of[...]

The 'Dinklebot' has long been a hot topic surrounding Destiny Peter Dinklage's turn as Ghost in the game has been criticised for sounding like an actor uninterested in the material Some, like me, learned to quite like it, others flat out hated it, but due to Dinklage's tight schedule, it's a moot point now as Bungie decided[...]

The most common complaint fielded at Destiny is its lack of story I think it's a little unfair as the universe has a ton of potential But yes, the delivery of the narrative in the original release is certainly lacking We are seeing signs of that changing in The Taken King, but we won't know[...]

Coming from the creators of Halo, you'd expect a more cohesive narrative as you explored the original narrative content. In that vein though, I've been really interested in the cutscene work I've seen from Destiny: The Taken King This new trailer for the expansion has that at the forefront I really think The Taken King might[...]

I must confess, Thorn was a favorite of mine in Destiny The poison like drain of its bullets were extremely effective in the Crucible, making it one of the most used, but equally, hated weapons in all the game. Bungie recognized this as a problem too In a recent interview with Edge (Via GamesRadar) sandbox designer Jon[...]

The trouble started when Activision wouldn't allow the soundtrack to be sold separately, like the Halo ones had, which started a rift between the composer and publisher. This disagreement then spilt over the boiling point when Activision re-edited the Destiny debut E3 2013 trailer, and had their own music composed for the ad taking out[...]

If you own a copy of Destiny, perhaps log in next week As revealed on the Bungie's Weekly Update, starting September 8th and running until September 14th, you'll be able to experience all of the new crucible modes and maps coming in the expansion for free This will include modes Mayhem, which will allow a ton[...]

Well, this is interesting. Last night, after it being teased for the last three weeks, we finally got a look at the equipable sword in Destiny: The Taken King  While the Sword of Crota has been in the game since the start, this will be the first time you'll be able to run around with a[...]

Alright, crisis adverted. There was a bit of a stink brewing on the internet about the new raid in Destiny launching after the Taken King's release I said at the time, if it was only a week or two dely, then it would be fine, but as it turns out, it won't even be that long. During[...]

Today is the last day of Destiny streams that have been taking place over the last few weeks The topic of this weeks stream is The Court of Oryx, the new raid in The Taken King As we learnt this week, it won't be in the game at launch of the expansion, but I suspect[...]

This might be sacrilege to some, in a fall period where Fallout 4, Battlefront and more are coming but, one, I'm a huge Destiny player, and two, the changes that Bungie are implementing are going to be intriguing to see play out. Granted, I'm being guided by curiosity more than anything here, but yeah I want[...]

The Taken King is on the horizon now and I'm very excited. The proposed changes are huge and I can't wait to see what Bungie have done to revamp the

After a rather unfortunate series of events, the last few episodes have been lost to the wind, which is a bit rubbish, but hey, Category: Video Games is back, and we are swinging. If you are joining us for the first time, this is the podcast where me, Laura Kate Dale and Andre Miller sit down to talk about the video[...]

Yesterday, as promised, Bungie hosted a stream surrounding the new playable area in Destiny: The Taken King The Dreadnaught will be the place where we spend a lot of time with the new content, what with it being the massive ship of Oryx himself. To display it, Bungie had a fireteam take on a new strike[...]

Ever since Bungie announced the fall of 'Dinklebot', one of the big questions surrounding Destiny has been 'what will Nolan North sounds like taking over the role of Ghost?' Well, here is a briefest of snippets to show you To promote their stream tomorrow showing off Oryx's Dreadnaught, Bungie have released this trailer which features a line[...]

Bungie announced a while ago that it was going to be rewarding Destiny Year One players with rewards for their service, and the developer is now making good on that. If you reach level 30 or just own the two previous DLCs by the end of August, you will get rewarded a new all black shader, an[...]

I run a warlock in Destiny primarily, switching between the two subclasses, one for PVE, the other for PVP The Taken King is going to add a third subclass for every class, the Warlocks now getting the Stormcaller class specifically. At one point, things could have been getting a little more…undead though According to GameInformer who are[...]

Destiny is under my skin in big ways at the moment I play it every day, and I have my own little ritual pulling me through constantly Those rituals are all going to change in The Taken King  though. During a stream today, huge upcoming changes were outlined to core aspects of the game[...]

Later today, Destiny is holding a very important stream, outlining the changes that Bungie are making to the game in Year 2 There are substantial alterations coming to the title and this is going to be Bungie's real chance to sell them all. To get you excited, here is a trailer for the stream, which kicks[...]

There has been an avalanche of Destiny news of late, many about radical changes coming toThe Taken King, but a lot of it has left us with more questions than answers What will Nolan North sound like as Ghost? What is happening to year 1 exotics? What does light do now that you level up[...]

Up until this point, there is only one other Ghost variant in Destiny, and it came with the exceedingly expensive Ghost Edition of the game It was red and white,  and remas the only way to customise your ghost in Destiny. That is going to change in The Taken King In a GameInformer article, two members[...]

The question of a $40 Destiny expansion has tormented the Taken King since it was announced Especially considering how other expansions were 'only' $20, the price has been a sticking point for a lot of detractors. New community manager Eric "Urk" Osborne, speaking in a video by IGN (via Gamespot) has justified this price by saying the Taken King has[...]

GameInformer are currently running a ton of Destiny: The Taken King content at the moment as the expansion is adorning the cover of the magazine's latest issue. A ton of information came out last week about voice actor changes, changes to the leveling and introduction to guns and more, but here is something quite entertaining that[...]

One of the big controversies in Destiny of late is the news that fan favorite weapons like Gjallarhorn and Thorn as getting nerfed for the Taken King This is a big deal for players, as many have clung to these weapons religiously since launch. Speaking to IGN (via GameSpot) at Gamescom, Destiny community manager David "Deej" Dague explained the[...]
