Events may happen in-game that are not necessarily controlled or planned by the developer, which will help to create a dynamic developing experience for Bungie and a dynamic playing experience for gamers. The game's style has been described a first-person shooter that will incorporate massively multiplayer online game (MMO) elements, but Bungie has avoided defining Destiny as a traditional MMO game. Instead, the game has been referred to as a \"shared-world shooter,\" as it lacks many of the characteristics of a traditional MMO game. For instance, rather than players being able to see and interact with all other players in the game or on a particular server—as is the case in many conventional MMO games—Destiny will include on-the-fly matchmaking that will allow players to see and interact only with other players with whom they are \"matched\" by the game.\nDestiny will incorporate a new game engine that allows global illuminations and real-time dynamic lighting to occur together. An innovation in Bungie's \"hopper\" technology, which has been the backbone for Halo's matchmaking system, will allow better player matchmaking in order to create a more natural experience in either cooperative or competitive multiplayer modes.","94090\u002FDestiny Cover.webp","94090\u002FDestiny Header.webp","https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002Fjv7vqCmt6wY","2014-09-09",74.86,1939,"destiny",null,[19,24,27],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":21},"Activision",false,true,{"company":25,"developed":23,"published":22},{"name":26},"Bungie",{"company":28,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":29},"ND Games",[31,32,33],"Shooter","Role-playing (RPG)","Adventure",[35,36,37,38],"PlayStation 3","Xbox 360","PlayStation 4","Xbox One",[40,56,71,86,101,116,130,144,156,171,185,197,211,225,239,254,270,284],{"id":41,"author":42,"outlet":45,"summary":51,"review_url":52,"review_date":53,"original_score":54,"normalized_score":55},2112,{"id":43,"name":44},24,"Rutledge Daugette",{"id":46,"logo":47,"name":48,"website_url":49,"score_format":50},1,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FTechRaptor%20Logo.png","TechRaptor","https:\u002F\u002Ftechraptor.net","10","If you're looking for a solid shooter wth both single, co-op, and multiplayer gameplay - we would highly recommend you check it out!","https:\u002F\u002Ftechraptor.net\u002Fgaming\u002Freviews\u002Fdestiny-review-become-legend","2014-10-06","8",80,{"id":57,"author":58,"outlet":61,"summary":66,"review_url":67,"review_date":68,"original_score":69,"normalized_score":70},20984,{"id":59,"name":60},2567,"James Pritchard",{"id":62,"logo":63,"name":64,"website_url":65,"score_format":50},15,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameluster-logo.jpg","GameLuster","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameluster.com","The game is very fun to play, and there is a lot to do after the you beat it.
