Destiny - New Screenshots

I love anything sci-fi but this hasn't really done anything for me yet. The E3 demo was pretty meh to me (awful commentary didn't help) so I hope to see something more interesting next E3.

They definitely should have shown a more interesting area besides just good ol' Earth lol. Showing gameplay from some other planet like Venus or Jupiter's icy moon Europa would've been pretty damn cool. Maybe they didn't have that too polished though.

Hype oh my god, Night time Mars is sexy and I cannot wait to get a better look at the city sections they've been teasing. I love me a destroyed city.

If the objective of those screenshots is to increase the desire for more then in my case they have succeeded in their objective.

Awesome post :D

Anyway, on which platform do you want a stable frame-rate ?

Will pick it up on PS4 if the framerate is stable.

I have no main platform to play my games. Sometimes I feel the urge to play it on a console and sometimes on my pc. At the moment I'm really into couch gaming. Another factor is what my friends will do.

This thing is screaming let down all over it. I can't see how bungie makes this game a success. Everything they have shown looks so mediocre imo.

Looks great to me. This plus Titanfall are my most looked forward to.

Unless Jumping Flash or Red Dead Redemption show up as Shyamalan twists.

It'll devour Titanfall, even on just Microsoft platform sales.

But yes, the more I see it the less I care about it. Now it seems like just another game.

really love the art for this game, and while i have my doubts about pvp the campaign should be great fun. really getting excited for this.

I just tried watching it again. The CRINGING... it won't stop.
 
Please have a stable framerate please have a stable framerate please have a stable framerate.

Worst thing that happens every time to those games.

Please have a stable framerate.

I would have thought that since it's a cross gen game that the framerate would be much better, much like ACIV's constant 30fps on PS4. If it was next gen only then they would really be cranking the visuals up to eleven and the same old console drops to 25fps would happen.

Amazing. Wonder if this will run at 1080p on either system? Looks like there is a lot going on there.

The pictures are 720p though, which is odd.... Because they'd likely release upscaled or super sampled 1080p images anyway...

About the marketing, there's another 9 months until release, that's enough time to grow an entire baby, never mind a marketing campaign.

This is my one of the most anticipate title of the 2014. But Screen size is too big for iphone 4s. :(

Anyway, You guys still can get your Destiny beta codes at some online retail stores. (ex: Bestbuy, amazon, gamestop) And even you cancel your pre-order right after you got it, your beta code will still remain yours. Recently, I gave a beta codes to my known guy.

The largely uninspired gun design is still disappointing to me :( How can you derive so much from Borderlands and not take the personality they gave guns through the manufacturers into account?

I hope we can wield alien weapons like the pseudo-plasma rifle the Vex have though.

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 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)

Love,

A huge Bungie fan.

Why don't you show a little patience and faith in the developer you profusely claim to love?

Why do you say "claim" as if you're unconvinced he loves them or not? Does loving them make it impossible to feel they've bungled to unveiling of Destiny or something?

If I was completely apathetic to the situation I wouldn't be apprehensive about whether or not they mishandled the introduction to Destiny. I voiced my concerns because I care about the studio and the success of this game. A bit of tough love never hurt nobody...

As great as Bungie has been, no studio is infallible and I think they need to do a better job communicating what this game is about and why I should care for the reasons I outlined in my previous post.

I gotta say, I just don't get the hype. It looks like Halo to me. Nothing about it doesn't look like Halo.

Borderlands without the memes is what sells me on the game.
That and Gearbox isn't working on it.
And it seems more expansive, and no stolen art-style.

My guess would be because it's coming to 360, PS3, XBone, and PS4. They probably feel like developing for PC (for launch) will stretch them too thin for relatively little gain since most current Bungie fans are console players anyways.

Visit the SEGA PC port thread. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance PC port took literally 4 people. 4 people! There are certainly enough PC gamers to warrant spending the money on a port for Destiny.

These screens show all that's wrong with revealing games in this day and age. "Oh it's going to be awesome trust us" I don't trust what I can't sniff for myself.

I'm not certain that PC players would be satisfied with a port. I know that the primary reason I buy multi-plat games on PC is for better and more extensive graphical options moreso than just kb/m. I'm also not certain Bungie would be happy with porting for the sake of porting (could be wrong).

In any case everything they've said points to them not wanting to work on a PC version for simultaneous launch.
