Anyone else catch the Warthog slip-up when talking about the Warlock?
You never forget your first.

My bad. Checked the previous page, totally missed it
People seeing more than just the 7 minute video from Bungie is for the best so it's all good.

Mmmm... mmmmm... Now I'm starting to feel this. Getting a better sense of scope here.

He only gets a pass because he thinks the music is superp. As do I, I think it's brilliamp.
I'm sorry, Dave ................................... I'm afraid I can't do that .............................
What are you talking about? I, and many here, didn't like what we see. It's not like if there are other parts of the game that is better, what we saw in this video will suddenly become way better in our opinion.
If you show me a racing game that shows off unrealistic drifting with arcade-like score popups, and when I disapprove because I expected something different (like GT maybe), that criticism isn't valid because there are other game modes?

So the area showcased in the strike mission here - we should expect to come back to this very same location for other objectives? Or has this particular area (the non-public space) been crafted particularly for this mission?
I guess I'm asking whether these environments are built mission specific but expansive (like Borderlands), or whether they're expansive from the get-go and built to serve the purpose of many different objectives in the same basic spaces (like Warframe).

I have high hopes for this game, but this footage looks pretty clunky.
This footage makes it look very MMO like, with the inherent lag and lack of crispness in actions (both yours and NPCs). Of course the social aspect in MMOs is why people play. Class interplay as opposed to refined shooter mechanics is super fun if pulled off well.
That said, playing Titanfall for so long now its very hard for me look at this footage and not feel as if it lacks a sense of urgency and fluidity of movement given its first person perspective.

That Q&A sounded decent, It certainly will have scope, Love the ability to just spawn a vehicle and do what i want if not interested in the public event. Summer beta cant come soon enough......although im usually out alot in the summer!
A developer should only agree to interviews when they're ready to answer NEW questions. I mean who doesn't know that leveling up our characters is one of Destiny's big selling points? Or that we'll need to be connected to the internet to play online with other people? Or that we're not going to be able to see thousands of other players occupy the same area? Urgh, so much wasted potential.
As for the positive, the info about loot rewards and class specific weapons was good.
That's the problem I'm having now, I'm comparing it and other games to Titanfall when I REALLY shouldn't be, they just look so slow and lethargic in comparison. I had this problem when I tried playing ME2 last night, it felt as if Shepard's movement was very slow and limited, I had to drop the game after the prologue because I was struggling.
I hope Destiny lives up to the hype and that it succeeds so that Bungie make money but I'm not sure whether I'll be able to contribute to their revenue, Titanfall has ruined me.

Wow. Full on hype train between the gameplay vid and playstation videos. This will be amazing. I wonder if the beta will be the same basic thing as the E3 demo, or if it will be more broad,

Just now seeing this. I thought the video was awesome. The game looks really, really fun. The lightning is nice too.
Also, Broyles!

This is happening to me as well and I'm beginning to wonder if Titanfall's fluid mobility has ruined other FPS games for me. The other night I was playing Capture The Flag in Halo 4 and I tried double-jumping to scale along a rock face and over a barrier. Needless to say it didn't work.

Haha. This is how I felt with every shooter for a while after Bulletstorm.
Why can't I slide? ...oh
So you just want me to shoot em in the face and... that's it? ...ok
The way I'm reading it is strikes are like the vaults / missions in fallout / borderlands, but are to be completed with your wolfpack. Not sure if you can solo them, but sounds like you might.
There's PVP and PVE areas in the general world outside these "vaults". The story is also separate. Strikes are just for leveling, loot, and boss takedowns.
That darn muscle memory. LOL

Wow that's nice
Cant wait for this, haven't been this excited for a game since H3. BUT With that being said, the enemies in the gameplay reminded me of Titanfall, waste of space serving no purpose.

I can see E3 bungie announcement at Sony event being "and you can play the beta right now on playstation 3/4" just have a vibe
The weapon model looks really, really nice.
I was really excited for this one, loved Halo Reach especially.
Video and Kotaku impressions has me wondering if this game is a tad soulless. The talk about identify and the games catch is real for me. Hope the loot is glorious, but it reminds me of Guild Wars 2? Beautiful world art, with slightly institutionalised interaction with the game world.
Can see this bombing, hope to be wrong.

Love the look of the game but the UI strikes me as so wasteful and ugly. All that shaded space and the numbers aren't using the extremes. Only negative for me.
really? I like it. It's simple and not to intrusive.
Wasteful in what way? It condenses HUD elements that used to take the the full width of the screen in Halo, into a single corner. The shaded icons act as cooldown meters, so it's not like they're just for show. It's quite large, but it looks really efficient to me.
It's weird that you didn't mention the one truly bad thing about the HUD - that insanely distracting super meter.
I like the look of the UI, but I can see what you are saying.
Really liking the look of this game, by far my most hyped game this year besides dragon age.....its going to be a REALLY busy fall this year compared to last year.

Have bungie stated how much of the world will be explained by playing the game? Will we known what it was that "struck" humanity down? Will we know why there are so many different alien species hanging out in our little solar system? Will we know why the traveler came and saved humanity?
The animations remind me so much of Halo, the enemy encounters, even the whole 'defend the objective from enemy reinforcements' scenario.
The sprinting and running animations look like they're straight out of Halo Reach. Why does it go to 3rd person when they use a special ability? That is EXACTLY how it looked in Halo Reach single/multi-player when you used armor abilities/special assassinations.Tthey should completely switch to 3rd person so it won't resemble Halo.
Bungie never fails to disappoint me when it comes to visuals and their promise of epic battles/campaigns (trailers). I've bought every Bungie release, day 1, for the last 10 years and it never lives up to expectations haha...i think I'm just addicted to the Halo formula. Either way, Destiny has me unconvinced atm

My guess would be 85 percent. Or... why would they even quantify something like that? I'm sure your answer lies in playing the game.

No it doesnt. Its only online.
It's not a separate single player mode, but it has a chain of story missions with cinematics and an ending.

Watch the videos in the thread.
It has a campaign and a storyline that you can finish. Complete with cutscenes and such, just like any halo game. Just more coop focused.

It has a real story and campaign missions, but the whole game takes places in an mmo like world, so you have to be always online. so its not like titanfall where they just act like they have a campaign

They fit huge bullet sponges, but displaying health bars on enemies that die in one hit makes very little sense.
I don't even want to imagine how spongy these basic enemies would have to get for health bars to be necessary, if Gears of War never needed to show them.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Something about this looks really boring :/
havn't they said the footage shown was taken from a point where the player would be approaching "end game"? in which case, those enemies that are dying quickly probably wernt always dying quickly.
I don't know if they said it was endgame but certainly that the were higher level guardians, I think they said level 8 or so, with 20 being the max.
They set it up so the press wouldn't die too much in that build basically. Would like to see how it changes when tackled with low level characters.
