There better be epic volcanos in this game..

Where is that clearest image with the QR code from?

I want to read how it was done.

Also, did the .mp3 metadata pan out?

There is a user on Reddit who is using a fourier transform plug-in in photoshop, along with other techniques to discern the hidden images and clean them up. At least, he was the first one to use it successfully.

And no the audio metadata didn't seem to pan out to anything, but I think after the image was found, the technique was abandoned.

I feel like this whole thing is from the Traveler's perspective, watching humanity. When he is watching (or how long the span that he is watching for) is yet to be seen. I have a feeling it will be revealed over the next few days.

EDIT: Probably a fake.

Creepy Youtube Video found on Bungie.net.

I Extracted some of the Frames:

Morse Code in the video:

"TAKE UP YOUR ARMS, MY CHILDREN. TAKE UP YOUR ARMS AND EMBRACE YOUR DESTINY."

I am currently working on the voice.

EDIT: I cant really do any audio work on it, it needs to be cleaned up and the morse needs to be removed. sounds like a latin like language

Oh man. This is so unbelievably excellent, my imagination is in completely and total overdrive.
Aww man, it's fake? >:(

Let's schedule Wednesday's ARG Flood for the same time:

11:00am PST (2:00pm EST, 7:00pm GMT)

As always, I'll do my best to keep this page updated: http://MisriahSolutions.com/ARG/

Spread the word!

It sucks that these floods are so early. I work during it :(.

It might be necessary for us to have multiple floods as this thing continues and interest starts to wane. I was half expecting to do another flood today but those photoshop filtering wizards figured out the URL with what we already had.

To me it reads more like the traveller is watching earth. Perhaps talking about the end of days nearing for the humans who still live on it, probably somewhere like antarctica.

Is this going to be a new IP unrelated to any other game? Is there anything else we know thus far?

Brand new IP.

So I missed the past 18 hours...is it basically just unlocking those images of text each day?

r_c_takedown · (02-13-2013, 12:07 AM)

I think so. That's what i got from it at least. Who knows, Bungie could surprise us in the coming days, but at the moment it all seems pretty standard.

Talon · (02-13-2013, 01:25 AM)

They're announcing on my birthday? Jerks.

blamite · 07:21 AM

It's Wednesday!

First!

So, something neat I just noticed:

The seven geomantic symbols theat popped up on Bungie Day last year are all associated with "night"

But the ones we've been activating every day this week are all associated with "day." Could this just be a nod to Bungie's "going dark" representing night, and now that Destiny is being revealed it's daytime, or could there be something more to it?

Geoff Keighley just tweeted "Destined for Seattle "
Sorry on phone don't know how to add his tweet.

There's a press event for Destiny between now and the public reveal. Sounds like most major folks are going.

It's tomorromow. Ryan McCaffrey of ign tweeted at how stoked he is to see Destiny tomorrow. Check his twitter, I'm on my phone sorry bro!

So Bungie's got all the press checking out their huge new game in Seattle BEFORE the official reveal? This isn't usually the norm is it? I'm thinking this could be a dual reveal. The press gets some personal time with the new Xbox and Bungie's next big game before NDA's are up and everyone can talk new platform and Destiny. Double impact before Sony's reveal?

Probably not, but HYPE just the same.

It is quite interesting. I guess we'll find out soon.

I'm not sure, but I think this is more usual than you think.

Yeah, you're right. Previews and whatnot.
I'm getting ahead of myself a bit.

I am excited bigtime for this string of reveals!

It's normal. That way when the public reveal comes out, all the press that are attending will release reviews/first impressions from their sites etc. Lifting the embargo when they show the public.

Unfortunately, all the previews will end up just being regurgitations of bungies bullet points in the eventual vidoc.

Kay, tweeted on my end as well. Also did a post on DBO if that gets noticed.

Wish we could get Reddit excited for this again, but I can understand their displeasure in it just being a big image.

There is no confirmation of platforms Destiny will be available for on launch. It will be available for the 360/ps3 and their successors and PC at some point.
