Cool. Wish they'd announce the date already. I want to hear feedback on it already...

I hope they're on track for that september release date.
Oh! What's that? Never come across it.

Considering they had to move it from early this year to fall, have given it a concrete date and they have their 10 year plan to follow probably means that it is releasing no matter what.
I really hope Bungie goes into detail about their pipelines at some point. The amount of content they have to produce over the next decade is going to be crazy.
Cursing gives you a technical foul in nba2k14 or whatever, but it's very loudly yelling fuck you... Not something I want on my speakers at work accidentally. That's the actual title of the clip that is the advertisement

Hamza Aziz of Destructoid is going to Bungie tomorrow to play Destiny. Hopefully we get some new info soon

I hope so! But I can see Bungie closing out Sonys press conference at e3 announcing that the beta is available "NOW!"

When though? i need this.
Play, huh? I wonder what they mean by that. Last time the press was invited to Bungie to see Destiny, they got to see Bungie dudes talking about how awesome it is to play/see Destiny.
I bet this time they'll let them play with some Destiny action figures. There's always a catch. #trustno1
Gameinformer have been to play recently, as has Burnie from rooster teeth and Keith Cox from activision UK.

Dang. I already pre-ordered from Futureshop during last year's e3. No code for me, I guess. Was excited to try Destiny out this summer.

But the maps were fairly big and the the game was best in series (if you ask me)

No Ganymede? I asked for ONE MOON! Way to screw up Bungie.
Well, I'll be damned! So it might actually be a game!
The same reason MMOs and Sony's PC games don't come to consoles or don't launch at the same time. It's a massive studio, but it can only get so massive and they're already developing for four different platforms. That's a lot of work even without having to rejigger this console-ass console game's supposedly streamlined UI for a fifth platform to prevent another Borderlands PC situation from happening.
I'm still very confused about this game's world.
Is it open world, like mmorpg, with huge landmass that you can freely explore? I think I've seen hoverbikes, so maybe it's this.
Or is the world made of smaller landmark areas that are still relatively open? Like Deus Ex city hubs or smth like that?
Or is everything made of small linear areas, like Mass Effect missions? That reveal gameplay seems like that - a linear path with boss battle at the end.

There hasnt been a definitive description of the game yet but what has been said:
There is a defined campaign, with a beginning, middle and end
There are multiple destination across multiple planets / moons. For example the Moon has destinations that include, the Hellmouth, the accelerator and the Moonbase.
These locations for the most part are connected and continuous, but to travel between planets and moons you will head into your personal spacecraft which is not controllable.
Within these criss crossing destinations there are public spaces where the game will match make behind the scenes and place you into game sessions with other players, an example is the public event you saw in last years E3 demo.
Apart from knowing that these areas are connected, I dont think anyone has said exactly how these will be joined, whther in a linear fashion, large open area or hub and spoke. The only other clue to their layout is that it has been mentioned there is a map in the game, which wouldnt make much sense in a linear arrangement. Suggesting that either an open world or what I think is more likely; a hub with spokes coming off it.
I think until the beta / beta previews, we wont have an answer.

if Destiny's actual Europa turns out to look anything like the concept art released by Bungie I'll be spending a lot of time there. beautiful art design.
Europa's air is pretty thin, like a thousand billion times thinner than Earth, to have caused those ice streaks. Unless the planet is terrafarmed of course.

Part of the lore of the game is that the Traveler terraformed a lot of the solar system.
I thought it was supposed to be humanity who did the terraforming using technology (space magic?) from the traveler.
I hope that's how it goes, because a ball magically altering popular celestial bodies as it passes by them sounds pretty dumb. If it can do something like that, it could have at least done something interesting, like, I dunno, turn Jupiter into a star. That's how proper space gods do it. Step your game up, Traveler.

No, you can select to play solo through the whole story but you'll need to be online.
Oh. I don't like the sound of that, hopefully there's room for a more detailed/interesting explanation somewhere in the game.
Honestly, it sounds like it really half-assed the job, if it has the power to alter atmospheres, magnetic fields, gravity, entire ecosystems through an interplanetary drive-by, but left so many moons untouched and let the most promising one remain a frozen husk.
Most importantly, I need to know what it did to Uranus. I hope it got some extra love.
I will still want to play with gaffers from time to time.
But I guess when I do I will be too far behind.
I think they would be more inclined to do one than you think. They had the cat helmet for Halo 3 and the statue of characters for Reach. The game is being published by Activision who has recently released a gyrocopter amongst other crazy things in collectors editions of Call of Duty. I honestly would be surprised if there wasn't one. I kinda expect one to be announced at E3.

I'm glad now that Witcher 3 was pushed back. I would've struggled to decide which one between this and W3 I'd have to put down to play the other.
So typical of traveling, alien-messiah spaceships!
I know, right? They just don't make cosmic/interdimensional messiahs like they used to. The job was so simple, a space baby could do it better. And it did!
YAP Stylebook reminder: Refer to The Traveler as "Spaceball".
And so it was written..

Yep, there's definitely something going on between them. I see Sony ads with Destiny as the highlight on TV once in a while.

Is it just me or does Destiny look like a glorified mixture of Halo and Borderlands...
Doesn't seem interesting at all.
