Bungie Discusses Graphics with Eurogamer.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-10-28-making-concept-art-a-virtual-reality-bungie-on-next-gen-destiny [b]Making concept art a virtual reality: Bungie on next-gen Destiny // Eurogamer[/b] Dated October 28, 2013. This interview with Eric Osborne (Urk) discusses the strides Bungie is making to deliver a "next-gen experience" across all four consoles. Well worth the read. Here are a few standout quote: [quote]"There will be differences, right?" Osborne qualified. "It's pretty clear. Most people understand when you take eight-year-old hardware and replace it with new stuff, you're going to see some differences. But our goal absolutely is and has been from the very beginning to make sure our core vision for the game lives on every single platform, no matter where you choose to buy. That's how we identify which platforms we're going to ship on. Can we preserve that experience there and deliver a day one experience for the player that meets our bar?[/quote] Urk continues: [quote]"In fact, at times I'm challenged when I look at something on a big screen and I think, 'was that current or next-gen?'" Osborne added. "It sounds like bullshit... but you get surprised quite often." Osborne said Bungie's engineering team is making good progress in this regard, and has managed to incorporate graphical effects such as real-time lighting and real-time reflections in water in all versions.[/quote] Next-Gen consoles: [quote]"There's absolutely a graphical upgrade," Osborne said, unable to go into great detail. "The immersion factor on next-gen is off the charts. We can realise the artists' vision more thoroughly and directly. A lot of teams, including us, have said in the past, yeah it looks exactly like the concept art! It usually doesn't, but your brain filters that out. You see the concept art and a week later you see it in the game and you're like, wow, it looks just like the concept art. "But now, I can actually do a fade in from the concept art to the game engine and the game engine looks better. This is awesome. The atmosphere in it is incredible."[/quote]
