Aloy gazes on a future that sure sounds like Horizon 3 will blissfully be a single-player game.Screenshot: Sony / Kotaku PlayStation has grown increasingly vocal about its live-service auspices. But the firm’s oeuvre of top-flight single-player games isn’t getting sidelined as a result, at least according to statements made by two PlayStation execs in a …
Image: Bungie A “series of copyright takedowns” have been striking the Destiny community since late last week, taking down musical videos hosted on YouTube. While normally this kind of action comes at the request of a publisher or studio, in this case Bungie says it has nothing to do with them. The issue was first …
Screenshot: Bungie / Kotaku When Destiny first shipped it didn’t have much of a story to speak of. Years later, that’s definitely changed.
