Destiny Beta has already shut its doors to all the gamers last night and everyone has to wait until its official release on September 9. The end of the Cosmodrome exploring last night saddened its gamers across the globe' although this might sound like a success for its developer, Bungie! At least they're certain that players were really into the shooting game!
"The Beta has been eye-opening so far." This was the pronouncement made by Bungie last Thursday.
"We've watched the world of Destiny come to life. Guardians from every platform have arrived at the Tower from their battles in the wild. We have watched your adventures with great interest, and listened to your feedback. Your missions have provided us with volumes of discoveries we can use to prepare for the launch of Destiny in September," the developer added.
From the creators of the critically acclaimed 'Halo' series, Bungie is poised to experience similar success when their new game, Destiny.
However, one of the negative feedbacks that they got is their bias on PS gamers over Xbox owners. According to their official website:
"In-game content for Destiny will remain exclusive for PlayStation owners for a year. Not only will the content stay exclusive for a year, but the Destiny Expansion Pass will remain exclusive for a year as well so fans will not be able to play the DLC content which can be accessed through the Destiny Expansion Pass."
All the PlayStation exclusivity has angered a lot of Xbox owners who have been supporting the studio for a very long time during the Halo days. Thus, fans demanded an explanation regarding this issue.
In this week's Bungie Update, Destiny Community Manager David "DeeJ" Dague answered a question, "Why do you hate your Xbox fans?"
Here is what Dague had to say after he was asked this question:
"We don't hate any of our fans. When we look at Bungie.net, we see gamers. We dare say that we see Bungie fans - although that might be assuming too much. Loving a good game and the hard-working developers who create it is not a console exclusive. This is one place where Guardians will truly be equal. You'll each have a chance to become legend on this site. Our hope is that we can use this environment to talk about the amazing experiences we will all have in common. Bungie has embraced many different platforms in our storied history. We have a hard time sitting still. Our goal has been to create amazing worlds and fill them with as many passionate people as possible. What we would tell you is that, if you want to explore the world of Destiny, it was built with you in mind. We make games here at Bungie. We love the people who play them equally."
Yes, Destiny Beta is now over but the creators have learned a lot from its gamers! Amidst all of the negative feedbacks, Bungie guarantees that each of them will be addressed properly, so as to give the best gaming experience on the official release of the game.
