Has anyone explained how this game is different from Borderlands yet?
I never play Halo so I am excited actually.I gotta say, I just don't get the hype. It looks like Halo to me. Nothing about it doesn't look like Halo.
I quite like the atmosphere of the fourth image, but come on, give me some juicy RPG details.
GTA V did. Anything is possible.I am afraid they won't deliver on the scope. It's a last gen game, technically.
Eh, why show much now? All you need to do at this point is build some base level knowledge of the brand and an undercurrent of excitement.
E3 and Summer they will start to slam us with information.
At this point most customers aren't making buying decisions about titles that far out. Why waste your marketing dollars on an effort to sustain hype over a 9 month period when you can concentrate those same resources into a 3 month period.
That and it behooves them to start the blitz post Titanfall/InFamous/whatever else big comes out before E3. Because those titles are going to suck a lot of wind out of the room.
I just can't get a sense of overall scale from any of the media I've seen so far.
Which is why they absolutely announced Destiny too early. I realize that Destiny went through an unforeseen delay, but the marketing for this game can generously be described as poor.
There hasn't been one video truly explaining the vision of Destiny and getting fans exciting about what new things this game has to offer. I remember seeing the Halo Reach Forge World ViDoc and just being absolutely blown away by the ambition on display and all the possibilities.
How large is the game? How many worlds are there to explore? Is there any sort of space travel? How does the new implementations of networking functionality work exactly and how does it enhance the game? All answers to these questions have been vague and nebulous at best.
Bungie has said in various interviews that Destiny is the largest game they have ever created and the scope is unrivaled. Well, I'm not really seeing it?.... Instead I get shown the same barren wastelands and JJ Abrams filters time and again.
Trust me when I say this, I am the absolute biggest Bungie fan imaginable, I've been playing their games religiously since Myth - but I honestly feel very let down with the debut of Destiny and my excitement for this game is about half of what it was for even Reach or ODST (which is saying a lot). They simply have not done a good idea selling me on what this game is all about. Instead I'm left to make my own assumptions that it's some sort of bastardization of Halo, Borderlands and Mass Effect.

I know it'll never happen, but I wish we'd get something else in the ONI universe. I really liked that game.

I want this game to succeed and deliver on the scope they are talking about, but I'm just not seeing it. (Sorry urk and crew, just being honest)

It's still Halo meets Mass Effect to me.
Looks like Bungie played a lot of Borderlands and Mass Effect.
Its so sad that it will come just at september! =(
The world and the art style for sure do remember Halo. But thats not a negative aspect. At the other hand the differencial is about the game style... when I think about Destiny I think about Borderlands with steroids! It seems to me the coop experience of Borderlands but with a bigger and prettier world, with more things to do, more things to collect, more classes, better balanced and possibly with no hacker and cheaters!
Looks super cool but I still feel like I know NOTHING about this game.
Because space.I still don't see why people claim it looks like Mass Effect. It doesn't.

doesn't it take place on different planets in our solar system? i know that there are mars, moon, earth and...venus/mercury (i forget which one of those two) levels.Which is why they absolutely announced Destiny too early.

And I still don't really have an idea of what this means. No idea what the difference is between a level 2 player and a level 25 player, or a level 2 weapon and a level 25 weapon. How much of this is skill as opposed to numbers. Are there any under the hood die rolls?What I know (think I know) about Destiny:
- RPG/loot shooter gameplay
How big are those levels though?doesn't it take place on different planets in our solar system? i know that there are mars, moon, earth and...venus/mercury (i forget which one of those two) levels.
I really, REALLY like the art in this game.
I just wish the E3 gameplay didn't strike me that much as dull and MMO-esque ("Here's a bunch of BULLETSPONGE ENEMIES, ENJOY!")

Can a level 20 one-shot a level 1 player or enemy? How about the other way around?
How are these RPG elements balanced in competitive? Does the PVE scale to the number of players and their level?
What happens when a level 20 player groups with a level 5? Are there any restrictions on group levels?
It's a cross gen game and the E3 footage was PS4 and 1080pAmazing. Wonder if this will run at 1080p on either system? Looks like there is a lot going on there.

Yeah, its a vague place to be but I'm right there with ya.The art looks as excellent as always and I'm quite looking forward to the game overall, but I don't think I understand Destiny yet, as Bungie has yet to really explain it.
Visually it's Halo meets Mass Effect with the gameplay of Borderlands without the Diablo hook.
I still don't see the appeal.
