Bungie is confident the Destiny launch this September won’t suffer from day one server problems, now commonplace at the launch of high profile multiplayer titles.
COO Pete Parson told GameIndustry at E3 earlier this month that the studio has been gearing up for launch for over a year.
“We pinged our data centre for the first time more than a year ago,” said Parson. “So we have been actively preparing.”
“Neither Bungie nor Activision do anything by halves,” he added. “There’s a reason why we’ve been doing, the reason why we have this Alpha today, the reason why these people are playing off the same data centre, if the internet goes down or a meteor hits our data centre, we’re not playing on the floor today. There’s no safeguards in place. We’re playing on our thing and that’s an active test for us. It’s always scary and exciting and to put your work out in front of people who are judging it but it’s also, it’s scary to put it out there because you’re testing whether it’s going to work or not.”
He continued: “We’ve been investing into it to make sure that we have the best experience possible and I think we have to ultimately see what happens but we have every expectation of from moment one, having a great experience.”
And should issues arise, Parson says Bungie is ready to deal with them.
“When things happen, whether it’s with us or the internet, we have things in place. There’s elegance in what we do so we have plenty of safeguards for this.”
We’ll see if Bungie can keep to its promise when Destiny launches on September 9 for PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360.
