The Playstation Youtube channel just uploaded the reveal as well. Wonder if it will tie in to Wednesday?

I think so.

Some of the footage in this reveal video is cut from interviews that happened in 2011 as party of Bungie's ViDoc O Brave New World.
Have they said anything about microtransactions?
with how's it all sounding i'd be really surprised if they dont try to monetize pieces of DLC or Cosmetic stuff and whatnot
It should start to make more sense in the coming months once we have release dates for the next gen consoles. A 2014 release for last-gen would be a very risky move.
Ummmmm
Didnt SCEJ help?
Sony own the IP, it's essentially first party but they let the rug be pulled out from under them and didn't capitalise quickly enough. The fact that the game took months to release in other regions is testament to their blind ignorance of how appealing the IP would be in a sea of one button press, auto gaming.
You are jumping to conclusions mate.
For all we know at this stage it is getting play tested on Durango and Orbis as we speak. It is impossible to judge the state of the game on any platform from this footage.
That's what I'm terrified about.
Bungie is being very liberal with saying "meet other players out in the world" if they mean you link up at hubs and go into instances.
So you can't be excited about the possibilities? And hope for a successful solution? We all have to instantly play the skeptic that brushes it off as another Halo mixed with some other stuff?
Yet gamers constantly funnel money into Kickstarters that show way less and have a MUCH MUCH less impressive team behind it. I don't understand the need to jump on the side of negativity/reluctance... these are just games. It seems to have a A LOT of promise and they are really pushing to try something new. The team seems to also be really passionate about working on it.
And what's with this logic of, "they have been working on it for a while, they have to show everything they have done". Game development (especially new IP) is not some straight A to B process, it's an evolution and constant iteration/diversion. The process can take a long time...
And I'm all for developers talking it up, striving for ambitious "impossible" goals. It's only healthy for the industry and playing it safe gets us nowhere... and it's not like Bungie has a horrible track record.
Again this is a lot of info as well:

Wow, fucking lame.
I think so.
Took a few of those new B.net avatars, resized them and added the Destiny logo. For those who want them:
They say that you can run into strangers while you're playing with friends in your group. Missions could be instanced and still share connectivity. Similar to what people previously mentioned about Dark Souls and Journey. So let's say, you go on a mission on Mars with a team of 3 friends. It creates Game #563 on the matchmaking network. Let's say a game can support up to 32 players in total. It would mean the next solo guy who plays that mission might join into that game without knowing it, and the next 6-man party might also end up on that game seamlessly. It's also possible that a game instance can support different missions and objectives in a shared location, so sometimes players can fight each other if they're in different factions.
All of this can be achieved without dedicated persistent worlds outside of the hub.
It's a current gen MMO. This is as good as you could possibly expect it to look.those graphics, eeesh, im sure it will play well, but not that exciting to look at right now.

I understand that the xbox and ps3 user bases are big now, but having this game on current gen really isnt doing it any favors technically.

No one had any idea that DeS would be the hit that it was in the west. If you say you knew it would be as successful as it turned out to be, you are lying.
Another thing, those character models look pretty fucking bad. They look nowhere near as good as their concept art ones.
Yeah, but if they have any intention of making money on this, it needs to be on systems that have an install base.
Once the 2 other versions are out though, i will be really surprised if they manage to stick with their yearly update. Supporting 4 versions for a game like this seems crazy for one studio.

How can you possibly make this assertion from looking at the ass end of the character models?

Wish they would have shown more, or any, gameplay... but so far the overall idea sounds pretty cool.
also, this is all I can think about.
Just going to repeat this one more time because this thread is moving so fast.
Parts of this ViDoc were filmed in 2011.
The Xbox 360 struggles with 4 player coop in Reach.
Seriously think it's a huge problem limiting themselves to 7 year old technology for a 2014 game. It's not going to compare favorably to next gen stuff.
I can't imagine them making more last gen versions of the games after this one.
It's not like this game is coming out tommorrow. It's still clearly a work in progress.

"work_in_progress"Animations look janky as hell :-/

mind providing time stamps? i'm not interested in rewatching a 55 min vidoc to find it myself.
Hmmmmm....Shall we fight to the death?...well...this is awkward....
Yeah, we will probably see current gen versions of Destiny 1 only.
