Looking so forward to this !

 

[Quick Mustard]

Why the fuck does the multiplier bar insist on flashing when its at 2x and above?

Annoying as fuck and that was just a 7 minute video :/

 

[Ranik Regana]

I hope it has competitive multiplayer halo style
Also dat music

 

[Thursday War]

oh my lord, this game looks phenomenal

.

 

[EL CUCO]

Alright. Looks good. Now who's going to spill the beans on framerate?

 

[Xplatformer]

Playstation Access uploaded new gameplay and info as well.

This is the best video. Questions answered that aren't covered in the general press playthrough.


Damn bonus check can't come fast enough. I'm getting a PS4 and a Vita for this damn franchise.

I don't care if this one area looks like next gen Borderlands.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Looks like Halo to me. So it looks uninteresting.

Yeah, but what if it plays like Reach?

 

[Akai__]

Finally some new gameplay. It looks better every time. Can't wait for the Beta.

OP could use an update btw. Include some other links, etc.

 

[slash3584]

Well it seems it's just like an amalgamation of other games without anything distinctive or innovative (IMO).

I don't beleive they're showing the same thing over and over (gameplay wise) just because bad marketing, im getting worried this is all the game will be.

 

[Peanut Butter]

The environments, premise, etc is what I'm interested in, but every gameplay video shown so far does nothing to grab me. Maybe this game is one of those "you have to play it" type of games. The beta needs to hurry up and get here.

 

[Hazaro]

Looks fantastic.
Very crisp graphics with super active enemies. Gameplay looks really spot on.

You cannot be serious.
Compare any Halo encounter to the fodder you saw.

Maybe Bungie is right and the enemies just need to talk to make players think they have better AI.

 

[Stinkles]

Looks like Red Dead + Skyrim + Mass Effect + Halo, in a good way.


Can't wait.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

I've only started getting into Destiny stuff over the past few days, but that was a pretty terrible clip; everyone looked so stiff in the way they were playing. I'm hoping whoever was demoing it was just terrible and that's not how the game really is. Also, that AI looked incredibly thick, maybe it's just because it was a demo, but damn.

 

[Pop]

You guys expected to much.

And I'm sure the AI was set to super easy. Let's not judge so fast. There is way more to this game then just strike missions.

 

[krypt0nian]

Simply glorious.

The PS4 is a BEAST.

 

[Punkster_NY]

Looks a lot like Killzone.

I got that vibe too!

 

[bidguy]

I'm really not a fan of the sudden 3rd person animations. These things can be done just fine in a first person view. No need for that. It's awkward.

looks like thats one of the things they kept from halo reach

 

[trixx]

Its not that bad;

change the music, pace, sound effects, enemy health meter, weapons, tone down the flashiness, have more interesting mission design, more enemies, better co-op integration, reward system and many more things

and im in.

This post made me laugh. Basically change the demo lol. But yeah i agree for the most part.

Oh so this game is an instanced based mmo like dragons nest, with hub worlds. Don't really mind it, but the gameplay man...

 

[alba]

Often one of the last things to change...

Yep so, I'm hopeful!

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Shit, at school so I can't see the video, but your guys impressions are killing me.

 

[Duxxy3]

Yep, that's hal... destiny.

My biggest concern is that it will end up like borderlands. Great with friends, dreadful and barren in single player.

 

[cripterion]

Every time I think about this game or hear about it I get excited. The concept and art is soo cool.
Then the gameplay comes in and they start FPS-ing and my excitement dies down...

Goddamn, I feel the same way..

 

[RSB]

I don't like the HUD, it looks really meh. Also, please Bungie, give us the option to turn-off those health bars on the enemies, they are really annoying.

The music was a bit too bombastic in this trailer, wasn't it? I think it's the first piece of Destiny music I didn't like... oh well, I'm sure the soundtrack will still be great overall.

 

[BruiserBear]

I feel like this game is missing an identity. It's like someone did a Borderlands mod to the Halo engine. Nothing wrong with that, but it just feels uninspired based on the limited stuff we've seen so far.

 

[DR3AM]

Only the MP can save Destiny. SP looks so boring and the music was out of place.

 

[NullPointer]

Looks alright... But eh, also not that exciting.

Yeah, still not feeling this.

Seems like Borderlands without the humor. The music had no pull either - hasn't yet, which is a surprise too.

 

[bombshell]

I hope it has competitive multiplayer halo style
Also dat music

It does.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Looks...okay... I guess.

I'm just getting Borderlands vibes from it, and Borderlands doesn't really do much for me more either. I actually almost stopped watching a few minutes in as it just was a bit...underwhelming.

Meh, I don't know, not really "hyped" for the game persay, but have beta access when it's released so I guess I'll wait to decide if I get it or not until then.

and damn, that music was pretty bad.

 

[iMax]

They fired Marty.

This is his music, AFAIK.

 

[Project 2501]

Nope...he sounds bored...like he was bored doing it...and we will all be bored playing it

Well then I guess you shouldn't buy it. Your problem solved.

 

[Mutagenic]

My interest level bottomed out about halfway through that video.

 

[Geoff9920]

It looks like someone got some Borderlands with a bit of Rage in my Halo. Looks like fun.

 

[PedroLumpy]

It's pretty much a heavily instanced MMO.

MMO may be a term that has lost all meaning. But if you were to ask me, 'heavily instanced' and 'MMO' are mutually exclusive.

 

[jem0208]

This game looks unbelievably... average.


Nothing about it grabs me, it by no means looks bad and I'm sure it's a competent shooter however everything they have shown about the game so far looks dull...

The basic gameplay very much reminded me of Borderlands and I don't think this is a good thing. Borderlands was great because of the wacky enemies, awesome guns and looting, great visual design, and the humour. The actual gunplay of Borderlands was quite boring, and this looks to be very similar.

The enemies AI didn't seem all that interesting either, most of them just ran in to open spaces and stood there getting shot. What made Halo great was how the AI, moved to advantageous positions and actively tried to flank you. While I admit, Destiny might have that as well, the gameplay shown so far seems to indicate otherwise.

I also really don't see the comparisons with Halo. This looks like it has a very different dynamic to Halo.



Best thing about this gameplay was the music, and even that didn't fit the action at all well. It just sounded good.

 

[kittens]

How do you figure? It's like Guild Wars one in that their are hubs where you can see players and by joining a party/fireteam, you're able to go out on missions/adventure with others. Bungie added in public events which pulls people in the area together to complete something. You have to be online in order to play the game even if you're going to solo the missions.

It's pretty much a heavily instanced MMO.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. MMO is just a loaded term. When I hear "MMO," I think of running into players all over the game world, not just a central hub. I also think of going on raids with a huge party, not just three people. I've never seen any Guild Wars gameplay, so I have no idea how it works.

Dawg, I'm gonna need a source on this claim, cause that's just fcking weird and disappointing if true =/

Straight from Bungie's mouth. The maximum party count has always been three players. It really bugs me, but it's their game, not mine.

 

[Frillen]

I'm getting even more Halo vibes now, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Looks good but whats up with the music. It's trying too hard to be epic.

Okay the gameplay looks alright. Just alright, nothing new.

same thoughts

 

[EventHorizon]

Wait, was that music supposed to be in-game? That was horrible. It does't fill me with confidence knowing that someone heard that score and said..."Perfect, that's exactly what we were looking for".

And yea...Destiny was my #1 most anticipated game this year but that left me with a meh feeling. I kept thinking that it was yet another corridor shooter with gameplay that could have been done last gen. Its not that it is a bad game. It is that I was expecting something more.

Is this all that's left of the FPS genre, better and better looking corridors with enemies that jump out for you to shoot? Well at least Evolve is trying to do something new.

 

[TalentBurke]

Only the MP can save Destiny. SP looks so boring and the music was out of place.

I think those guys that were playing just suck at the game. Since they have a beta I would just wait to play that before passing judgement on the game. I'm more a competitive multiplayer type of guy none of this stuff interested me but I was curious to see what it was like and I will give it a try when I get the game in my hands.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

Ha. Dudes shootin dudes on a map. My mind is blown.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Looks better each time I see it.

Loved the Old Russia video a while back too.

 

[Hazaro]

Always been 3 TMK

its supposedly martys but i really really doubt it

sounds pretty weak

 

[kittens]

It'll have PvP, but we don't know much about how it's going to work. I should go set up a "everything we know about Destiny PvP" blog post somewhere...

 

[AdanVC]

Love gameplay trailers like this. No fancy/confusing cutscenes, no lies, just pure gameplay goodness. I love how colorful it looks despite of being in dark/indoor locations, but when you go outside it looks amazing, it gives you a true sense of going out there and explore... The gameplay on the other hand, looks good/meh I guess, nothing too revolutionary honestly. More of the same "shoot to this, shoot to that, move and upgrade stuff".

 

[xaosslug]

Destiny is pretty much why Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is last gen only (tho, I'm hoping for a HD re-release w/ all the DLC on disk whatnot!) I'm not sure if I'll even bother with it, especially if Destiny releases first...

Destiny has crushed so many's hopes and dreams. LOL

 

[dugdug]

Great to read all the complaints about the music, when just last week, everyone was losing their shit over them firing Marty.

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

We need to see new shit. Stop showing us the same stuff. Give us details. Give us a ViDoc. This isn't exciting anymore.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

This is the best video. Questions answered that aren't covered in the general press playthrough.


Damn bonus check can't come fast enough. I'm getting a PS4 and a Vita for this damn franchise.

I don't care if this one area looks like next gen Borderlands.

The beginning comment/question made me cringe though.
