Bungie just announced on PSX a sparrow racing league, allowing players to race around on the workmanlike little bikes that have been in the game since day 1, but rarely seen much more use than getting from point A to point B.
Bungie didn't reveal any nitty-gritty detail about the new racing aside from a teaser trailer, but we can assume some PvP races, and, from the looks of things, some AI enemies in the mix too.PS4 players get exclusive sparrows and gear. I hope this comes with slightly more sparrow customization as well — anything to give a little depth to the underdeveloped vehicle system is good news. The most important thing, however, is how different this game mode looks from anything we’ve yet seen in the game. Bungie wants Destiny to be something of an all consuming experience, and variety is absolutely crucial to that. You can check out the teaser trailer below by the way:
Of course, the question then becomes: can Bungie make a racing game? We knew they could make a shooter, but they had more than their fair share of hiccups trying to translate their Halo knowledge to something that looks more like an MMO. Racing games are an entirely different beast, though,and if this is going to succeed it not only needs to be an integrated part of the Destiny world, but also stand on its own as an actually fun racing game. Expect tweaks. Expect lots of tweaks.
