SykoWolf Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) The Following article is an original work by myself using confirmed information from sources. A question I have seen asked by many involves destiny and an internet connection. So I can confirm now that it does indeed require a constant connection. For one, Destiny features a “persistent online world” that requires a constant Internet connection — even for the solo campaign. SOURCE What this means is that while you continue to play Destiny and discover the computer controlled A.I's you will stumble across real life players.This add's to the feal that Destiny will be a crossover of several gametypes, including MMO, however it wont be subjected to just an MMO atmosphere. However, similar as to how WoW works, Bungie can host community events,contests and add live entertainment;it's been confirmed that there are day and night cycles and real time weather, Destiny is shaping up to be rather huge in the world of gaming. There are optional side quests for players to embark upon by themselves or with friends and many larger quests taht have an effect on how the world develops. Activisions's CEO Eric Hirshburg calls Destiny a “shared world shooter,” and one that’s “ambitious in isscope, innovative in its approach and elevated in its tone.” Bungie has also confirmed that it DOES NOT require a monthly subscription fee contrary to an early rumor, meaning after you buy the game, it's yours to play for free as long as you want. Among other things, the world will continue to evolve when your offline, special events will occur while your offline and continue to change your experience as you play further into the game. Bungie plans on releasing new info in the coming months. Syko's Note: So while I believe Destiny will be an excellent game......It's only flaw to me, is it's internet requirements, since i know many gamers who prefer offline play.

Zuko 'Zarhamee Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Constant internet connection... A great way to ruin a game for very many people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelda Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Seeing as how its for PS4 as well, and the PS4 will not be made "Always Online". So its probably not going to be made to stay connected to the internet. Besides, Bungie knows better than to drive away their fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l Xenoes l Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 It might shy some people away but, WoW requires a constant internet connection as well and look at it's population. I always have my xbox connected to the internet so I really don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
