In an interview with IGN, Destiny senior writer and Bungie community manager Eric Osborne shed some light on how the game's space travel would work. Despite not being playable, you will be able to customise and upgrade your ship."We’re not making a space sim where you're flying through the stars," he explained. "We’re making a first person shooter. So the primary way you’ll get around the world is on foot as a first person shooter, then space travel is a cool way for you to customise your ship and get around.While Osborne wouldn't be heavily drawn into talking about a PC version of the upcoming shooter, he reiterated what we've heard from him before : it's a possibility, but don't expect it any time soon."It’s a huge challenge to ship four platforms and a massive opportunity to reach a new audience," he said. "We know there are a lot of people out there asking for PC and we know that there are a lot of gamers that would willingly give us money, but what we have to do is make sure we’re focused enough to bring a good experience to any platform that we ship on. What we 100 percent are not going to do is spread ourselves so thin that it negatively harms the other platforms. So right now we have the four platforms, which is a lot to focus on."Finally, we broached the thorny issue of microtransactions. While Bungie has yet to make an official statement on whether they'll appear in Destiny, Osborne was quick to assert that they'd in no way confer an advantage for any player should they appear."We’ve not announced anything on the microtransaction front but our goal is to absolutely make sure that when we deliver a game for $60 that’s a great experience no matter what type of player you are," he said. "So we’re not looking at any pay-for-power type stuff. That’s what I hear as a player when people say they’re worried about models and schemes that nickel and dime people; we’re not going to do that."If this whetted your appetite, be sure to check out the full interview with Osborne , where we talk about how Destiny was conceived as an idea and what we can expect from Bungie in the run up to launch and beyond.
