AusGamers recently had a chance to catch up with two of the main cats from Bungie working on their ambitious Destiny title -- a game that literally spans 10 real-world years across three planned releases and DLC: Joseph Staten, writer and design director; and Christopher Barrett, the game's incredible art-director.

There's still not a lot known about how this will work (despite another early look we had at the game at an official reveal event out at their HQ in Seattle), but we did manage to get a nugget of info regarding the persistency of your chosen avatar, and how this character will grow not only in the game's campaign mode, but in the planned multiplayer as well.

“The story that evolves out of a competitive multiplayer match is different to the kind of story that we want to tell in a more campaign mode,” reveals Destiny writer and design director, Joseph Staten. “But the critical thing that’s new for us -- at least, and really new for shooters, I believe, and someone correct me if it’s not -- is that your character really will go; it will journey through all of these different modes. So the legend that you’re building, you’ll have stuff that you got out of the campaign, you’ll have stuff that you earnt from competitive multiplayer, and it will all be part of this common character that’s you in the world.”

Tantalising stuff. We also cover what the team has learnt since Halo, building alien worlds that remain relevant and relatable, their approach to backstory and lore, and much, much more.

We're all over Bungie's ambitious new undertaking, Destiny, especially after having sat through an intense and rewarding presentation on the game's universe out at their Seattle HQ recently, and with the announcement of the game being in the launch window for PS4, our interest has spiked even more.

So, naturally, we're keen to consume all things Destiny, and over the weekend the nice folk at Bungie dropped two new pieces of concept art, bolstering their unique "mythic science-fiction" direction for the game's visuals. and teasing us just that oh-so more, especially with old four-arms and his thermal detonator, or whatever that is.

Destiny, the ambitious decade-long project from Halo creators, Bungie, has been officially announced for Sony's newly revealed PlayStation 4.

Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg and Bungie's Jason Jones enthusiastically made the announcement of the developer's first foray onto another console outside of Xbox and also showed a few new snippets of in-game footage, including a weapon actually firing.

No other details emerged other than the game being available for both PS3 and PS4 and that the team were building exclusive PlayStation launch content that won't be found anywhere else.

Last week AusGamers was invited out to Bungie's new Seattle headquarters to not only look at ll their cool Halo shit, but also their new multi-platform title under the Activision banner -- Destiny.

Skeptical as I might have been, and little as we were all shown, it was hard to walk away from such a promising presentation especially when ideas like a persistent online universe spanning 10 years, dynamic co-op, solo and competitive multiplayer along with stunning new visuals and lore up the wazoo were all on offer. By and by, this is the game you need to be grinding your ears and eyes to this year.
