Theory Lesson 6

Hybrid Genres

Destiny 2


For destiny 2 I believe it has a hybrid genre as the game does fall under many

genres, for destiny 2 the game can go under the action genre as the game is

about us as a character which then goes and explores many different locations

to defeat different bosses. We are depicted in this game as the hero as we save

and protect the people in the last city.

As well as that we use futuristic technology in this game also giving it the sci-fi

genre the technology we use can vary in this game from our ghost being our

companion in this game our ghost can hack into many different enemy

technology as well as that it gives our character the ability to come back to life

after dying it can heal us too which allows us to keep going in fights as well as

that it's the source of our abilities so this ghost we have with us in this game

uses futuristic technology way beyond us. As well as that we explore many

different planets each with different technology which is way beyond us for

example the different enemy types use different technology to help them the

vex use portals that help them get to different places as well as that we can

also use these portals for our aid to get around to different places in the game.

The game can also tie into the fantasy genre as destiny 2 embraces its own

mythological past which is the difference between destiny compared to other

fantasy games as well as that the different enemy types, we see within this

game are named after some mythological creatures one main enemy type in

this game being the vex. All the vex are named after a mythological creature

for example Goblins. When we think of goblins, we think of a small green

creature that salvages stuff and takes stuff of people in destiny 2 Goblins in

that game are robots with a red eye and fuelled by there own resource that

they have they are about the same height as our characters and one of there

arms are a gun. This is what makes destiny 2 a fantasy as it takes mythological

creature but gives it, its own twist making its own lore which separates destiny

from most games with its fantasy aspect.
