AIGA, the professional association for design, hosted the 2015 Cased competition, and honored 15 design solutions that demonstrate the value of design. Destiny's User Interface was one of these solutions - congrats, Bungie! The writeup digs into how Bungie saw their challenges, and what they did to meet them; good reading! (There are also a bunch of links to articles that have been written along the way, in case you missed any of them.) Be sure to check out the rest of the winners, if you have interest in design - there are some spectacular entries in there!

Destiny may not have won any awards from critics or official awards at Gamescom, but it DID win one prestigious award: The People's Choice Award on IGN. Looks like some people are hyped for September 9th!
Destiny was the big winner at Gamescom - it took three awards, beating out Titanfall (which took 2) for most mentions. Congrats to the Bungie team for Best Console Game: Playstation, Best Action Game, and Best Online Multiplayer Game. And thanks to Hypertrooper, for bringing us the news!
Unfortunately Destiny didn't win best new IP or best graphics, but the nominations are still pretty neat. Gametrailers will announce 'Best of Show' today at 4pm PST.
