Since breaking away from Microsoft and signing up with Activision, Bungie, the original "Halo" developer, has been hard at work on "Destiny," a multiplatform and next-generation release unveiled this past February. Since then, however, Bungie has kept the information flow tight. Until Thursday's GDC panel.that is. New screenshots, footage and details flowed free, and we've got the goods to prove it. Skip down to the bottom to get a glimpse of some footage, showing off character and enemy models in action.
"Destiny" is a first person "shared-world" shooter, according to Bungie, which pits players in the role of a customizable "Guardian" to defend the last safe city on Earth, hidden beneath the mysterious Traveler, an alien spacecraft hovering above the surface of the earth. Bungie intends the game to be highly co-operative within a constant online world, similar to an MMO, yet the famed developer shied away from the term. The game will feature competitive play as well. Bungie art director Christopher Barrett and writer Joe Staten sat down for about an hour, talking about building the "Destiny" universe, enemies and player characters.
Bungie promised more in the coming months, especially at this year's E3. "Destiny" is confirmed for a simultaneous Xbox 360, PS3 and PS4 release, and is expected to be announced for Microsoft's next console as well.
