Bungie has announced its next game, Destiny, will launch worldwide for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4 on September 9. The game will be published by Activision.
Destiny is Bungie's "mythic science fiction" open world multiplayer shooter first revealed last November. A beta for Destiny, which pre-orders will get first crack at, kicks off first on PlayStation platforms in the summer of 2014.
Titanfall in March. Destiny in September. Halo 5 probably in November. Good Lord, I'm all set for next year.
Good Game Bro: You’ll Reach Destiny’s Max Level in “Only a Few Hours” http://bit.ly/1kd6Lp2
Quote:
Yesterday, an embargo was lifted for a plethora of media coverage for Destiny. With so much information coming out it’s only right that certain pieces were lost. A Destiny forum has come across some rather interesting information regarding the max level for characters, however.
If you were expecting to be grinding for quite some time to reach the max level for your Guardian in Destiny, you’re wrong. It appears that it’ll take “only a few hours” to reach the max level, with the effort being focused on obtaining better armor and weapons.
The social intent of the game cannot be overstated. Indeed, leveling up each character to max takes only a few hours – Bungie doesn’t want you to start the game then realize you have weeks of grind to put in before you can play against friends on a higher level. “You level cap quickly, but once you’re there the game is more about equipping the gear that lets you go deeper into the game,” says Green. “There are more strikes, there are raids, there are higher levels of PvP if you equip better weapons and armor.
“Equipping better abilities in Focus is a longer-tail process that takes some time. I think the game actually develops very naturally towards the level cap: players earn experience as they complete activities and kill things, and once they reach the point at which that stops, they’ve already moved on to the gear collection game, which is about doing activities and looking at what’s available to them in the tower. It’s similar to Diablo in that its about moving on to horizontal growth – trying new abilities, new builds, new weapons.”
It’s an interesting choice, but Destiny seems to focused around social efforts and allowing players to enjoy the game in both short and long bursts. The comparison made above in regards to horizontal growth makes sense, but shooters have typical stayed away from that path.
What do you think about Bungie going for horizontal growth and a max level that won’t require you to grind? Be sure to let us know what you think by leaving us a comment below, or continue the Destiny discussion in our community!

Destiny Pre-Orders Now Available on PlayStation Store
As confirmed by Activision last year, the PlayStation pre-order includes eventual beta access, which is scheduled to begin in July. The PlayStation Store description recommends that you register at Bungie.net to link your PSN ID and ensure future notifications regarding beta access details.
Also, Destiny can be pre-loaded.
So...yeah this game looks pretty cool
Put it on the list...when I eventually get a PS4
Good that the new update to the SDK helped, but I'm more concerned with this being 30 FPS. That'll really annoy me if it's that way on both systems. I've read over on GAF that people think it's because it'll be 1080p and 60 FPS on PS4, but let's be real here - a developer with as much history with shooters as Bungie would choose frame rate over resolution in a heart beat, which makes me think it's going to be 30 FPS on both, which would be a real bummer.After @xboxp3 interview I've been asking devs about impact of new Xbox sdk on perf. Bungie says it will get Destiny to 1080p/30fps on XB1.

I wonder if this Alpha test will be good or a disaster.
Didn't really like the Halo games. Not excited after watching the trailer on this one.
Just got my alpha code, so if you signed up, check your e-mails, I've seen others on Twitter reporting the same.
Hopefully it'll pop up in mine soon. I signed up within minutes of finding out how to register for the alpha.

Played a mission. There are a lot of nice RPG aspects in just the story mode. Really liking it so far. Had a good boss battle.

Online so far is really smooth for an alpha build. I think I'll definitely enjoy this shooter.

I spent a few hours with it today/tonight and I love it. The game is gorgeous, shooting mechanics are tight, co-op missions are a blast, customization is out of this world, and if you suck, the game doesn't hold your hand in competitive modes. Definitely going to be my go to shooter once it comes out. I can see myself wasting an absolute ton of time in the competitive modes. It feels more like Halo than Halo 4 did and I absolutely love it.
Sony is very wise getting into bed with Activision on this. Guaranteed huge seller.
Anyone want my Destiny code?
PM me if interested. Would prefer it go to a Booster, but I will pick from the PMs. I will be gone until this evening and will send the code then.
EDIT - Code taken. Enjoy!
Bungie is working on a grand conspiracy to dump a bunch of Alpha codes onto the Internet. Help is on the way. Stay tuned.

I like the open world type of way to customize and upgrade.Quote:

The arena announcer during competitive modes is the most annoying fucker I've ever listened to.Quote:

Overall, though, I love it. I don't know if I'll be able to play this on PS4, though - that controller is just awful for shooters.
I don't really mind the announcer :DQuote:

You can get them but you're still at a massive disadvantage against them. There needs to be fewer of them on the map or they need to be severely toned down. I'm just hoping there's either a mode that has no vehicles or that Bungie nerfs them.
I love riding around in the Hike though.
Got accepted for the beta and downloading now
Amazon just sent me another alpha code. PM me for it.

Same here. No interest in it. However, if any of you TGTers want/need one PM me.Quote:

If anyone has an extra PS4 alpha code id really like one
If anyone has an extra Alpha code, can you PM me? That would really be appreciated. :)
We always get new subscribers when the freebies come out. ;)
:) I referred wkemp (and I'm guessing Daniel saw my tweet) to post here since he was looking for a code online. wk RTs a lot of our stuff online and is a good guy.Quote:
