Briefly: Destiny is now available worldwide, and though I haven’t yet had the opportunity to spend much time in the world of Bungie’s latest space epic, I really can’t wait to fully explore and experience the vast world(s) that the game has to offer. I spent a ton of time with Destiny‘s alpha way back in the day, and I’ve been nothing but happy with the retail release thus far.

One of Destiny‘s best features is its phenomenal soundtrack. The game was composed by Marty O’Donnell, Mike Salvatori, and Paul McCartney, the latter actually creating a single specifically for the game’s release.

I hadn’t yet heard the track in my brief time in Old Russia, but YouTuber Kilo Juliett has been kind enough to put the track online. You can give it a listen for yourself below, and don’t forget to watch the game’s live-action trailer if you haven’t yet, and be sure to let us know what you’re thinking of Destiny so far!

Briefly: Following the release of the official gameplay launch trailer two weeks back, and the reveal of the game’s Playstation exclusive content last week, Bungie has debuted a phenomenal live-action trailer for next week’s release.

I’ve been enamoured with Destiny for as long as I can remember, and that feeling was exacerbated by the short time that I’ve been able to spend with it. September 9th really, really can’t come soon enough. I played the Alpha and Beta as much as I possibly could, and in that time Destiny became one of my favourite games of the year. I cannot wait to play the full game, and I cannot wait to learn the full story through its bad-ass companion app (seriously, it’s so freaking well done).

It’s definitely my most anticipated title of the year, and I am going to spend way too much time on it. Just five more days to go!

Watch the amazing live-action trailer below, and let us know if you’re becoming legend on September 9th.

Briefly: Following the release of the official launch trailer two weeks back, and the reveal of the game’s Playstation exclusive content last week, Bungie and Playstation have debuted a new video that shows off the Playstation exclusive Strike mission, Dust Palace.

I’ve been enamoured with Destiny for as long as I can remember, and that feeling was exacerbated by the short time that I’ve been able to spend with it. September 9th really, really can’t come soon enough. I played the Alpha and Beta as much as I possibly could, and in that time Destiny became one of my favourite games of the year. I cannot wait to play the full game, and I cannot wait to learn the full story through its bad-ass companion app (seriously, it’s so well done).

The PS3 and PS4 editions of the game include the exclusive Exodus Blue map, exclusive Dust Palace strike mission , and plenty of extra equipment. Wouldn’t it be nice if it had cross-platform play to go with it?

Take a look at the video below, and let us know what you think. Destiny hits shelves on September 9th.

Briefly: Following the release of the official launch trailer last week, Bungie and Playstation have debuted a new video that shows off all of Destiny‘s Playstation exclusive (at least for the time being) content.

I’ve been enamoured with Destiny for as long as I can remember, and that feeling was exacerbated by the short time that I’ve been able to spend with it.

Briefly: After what seems like forever, and an incredible taste of the game in its Alpha and Beta stages, Destiny is nearly here.

It’s so close, in fact, that Bungie and Activision have debuted the impressive launch trailer for the game… which is going to make the next 18 days and even longer wait.

Seriously, I’ve been enamoured with Destiny for as long as I can remember, and that feeling was exacerbated by the short time that I’ve been able to spend with it. September 9th really, really can’t come soon enough.

Take a look at the launch trailer below, and let us know which console you’ll be playing Destiny on.

Briefly: We’re now less than a month away from Destiny‘s anticipated launch (I’ve already taken the day off work), and today Bungie took us to Venus with the game’s newest trailer.

Bungie says that “Venus was once the site of a great discovery – a paradise. Now, it is a monument to all that we have lost.”

I was enthralled with the alpha, and had a blast with the beta for the day that I was able to play it (I had to leave for SDCC of course) and I cannot wait to get back inside this world. Take a look at the Venus trailer below (and the Mars trailer is embedded below if you missed it).

Will you become legend when Destiny hits on September 9th?

Briefly: Destiny made quite the show at this year’s E3, and the Alpha that followed was even better (I barely slept for the entire weekend).

Today’s Bungie Day (a self-proclaimed holiday due to the developer’s obsession with the number 7) brought on a plethora of new details about the game, including just when we’ll get some time to play again, as well as info on the sure-to-be-sought-after collector’s and Ghost editions.

First up, the Beta. Playstation 3 and 4 owners will get the first taste from July 17th to 20th. Things will go dark on the 21st and 22nd, but when the Beta returns on July 23rd, Xbox 360 and Xbox one owners will also be able to join in on the fun. The Beta will end for everyone on Sunday, July 27th, which will probably be our last taste of Destiny until its official launch. Here’s a nice Bungie-created infographic to break things down for you:

bnet

Looks like I won’t be earning that emblem; I’ll be in California for SDCC, so I’ll be missing out on the entire Beta (and I’m not even upset about it).

The developer also detailed the Limited Edition and Collector’s “Ghost” Edition of the game. Here are the details, straight from Bungie.net.

Bungie has also debuted a new Beta trailer for the game, which is totally awesome. Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be playing the beta!

Briefly: Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have all impressed us at this year’s E3, and Bungie did the very same with a near four-minute trailer for Destiny.

The trailer features an ominous monologue about the expansion (and then destruction) of humanity, and that it’s up to you and a few others to save it. if you can’t, the entire human race, everything it ever was, and everything it ever will be, is gone forever. No pressure.

Sure, it looks a lot like Halo, but it’s also by the guys that created it, so we’re definitely in for a treat here. The game launches on September 9th, and a special white PS4 bundle will launch on the same day and include the game.

Briefly: This game just keeps looking better and better.

Sony has just published a batch of new screenshots for Bungie’s upcoming Destiny. The images look to be a mixture of gameplay and cinematic, and each and every one of them is absolutely gorgeous.

Now, my PS4 may be getting a little dusty right now (well, so are all my other consoles, but it’s more a lack of time than a lack of content), but if it wasn’t clear from our top games of 2014 list, 2014 is going to be a great year for gamers.

Take a look at the new screenshots below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the game!

Briefly: Just one day after its release date was revealed, Bungie has debuted a brand-new, gorgeous trailer for Destiny.

The game looks absolutely breathtaking, and hits stores worldwide on September 9th, 2014. Watch the new trailer below, watch it again, and then let us know what you think. We’ll have more info on the game as soon as it’s release!

Briefly: Bungie’s next, highly anticipated title, Destiny, just got its worldwide release date.

The game will release on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Windows on September 9th, 2014. The beta for those who have pre-ordered the game will begin this Summer (first for Playstation players).

The game looks absolutely incredible, and is one that I cannot wait to play. I usually don’t pre-order games, but getting to try this one as soon as possible is definitely something that I need to do.

Here’s the full text from Bungie’s blog post:

Destiny has always represented a new beginning for our team. It was born from brave possibilities. We dreamed of a renewed and independent Bungie. We found partners willing to bet big on some crazy new ideas with us.

 

We first shared the design pillars of Destiny less than one year ago. We promised to redefine what players should expect from a Bungie game. We said we wanted to change the way people play games together. We set our bar high. For us, Destiny represents a once in a lifetime opportunity.

 

Since then, Destiny has continued to reveal its promise. Every new build brings us closer to our original vision. With those goals in sight, we intend to use every moment from now until the release of the game to ensure that Destiny lives up to your expectations, and our own.

 

Today, in partnership with Activision, we are proud to announce that the worldwide launch of Destiny will happen on September 9th. Accordingly, the Destiny Beta will kick off in the summer of 2014, available first on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.

 

The early support and enthusiasm for Destiny has been inspiring and humbling. We believe this is the right decision for our game, our studio, and our passionate community. Thank you for coming along with us on this adventure.

 

See you starside.

Excited? Sound out below!

Briefly: Destiny developer Bungie yesterday released a fantastic new developer diary for their highly anticipated shooter, titled ‘Out Here in the Wild’.

The diary takes us, well, into the wild of Destiny, and shows off many of the environments and weapons we’ll be seeing in the game. If you’re as excited for Destiny as I am, you’ll definitely want to take a look at this.

Watch the diary below, and let us know what you think! Destiny hits PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC sometime in 2014.

During Sony’s E3 press conference last night, Bungie took to the stage to finally show off gameplay from their anticipated next title, Destiny. The game is a sci-fi first-person shooter on a much larger scale than anything we’ve ever seen before, and is designed to evolve and expand over years of time.

Details are still few on the game itself, but if these trailers are any indication, Destiny is set to be a system seller. Watch the new gameplay videos below, and let us know what you think! Destiny drops sometime in 2014!

The guys over at Bungie are doing their thing again. Much like with past Haloz, they are pumping out some incredible live action meets CG  advertisements for their newest game, Destiny. Check it out!

From the Release:

As a Guardian of the City sets out on an epic, action-packed adventure to reclaim our Solar System, he recalls the moment when he was first taught the most important lesson of all — The Law of the Jungle.

Watch this live-action/CG trailer and get a sneak peek at Destiny, the bold, new action game from the creators of Halo® and the company that brought you Call of Duty®.

Bungie today released a very cool new trailer for their upcoming sic-fi game, Destiny. Mixing live-action and CG, the preview was directed by Jon Favreau (Iron Man), and stars the always-impressive Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad) as a father telling the story of Destiny to his child.

The most exciting aspect to me isn’t the preview itself, but what is revealed at the end of it: we’ll get out first taste of Destiny‘s gameplay at Sony’s E3 press conference on June 10th. I’ve already marked my calendar.

Watch the new trailer below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the game!

Wow.

 

Yesterday Halo creators Bungie Studios released a first look at their upcoming game, Destiny. The title looks like an unbelievably ambitious, insanely polished first person adventure that absolutely everyone needs to experience. You really need to experience the video to believe it, but even a day later I’m still thinking about what Destiny has in store for us.

 

Today the company released some absolutely incredible concept art to follow-up the video. The images are titled Citadel, Fireteam, and Traveler’s Rest, respectively, and certainly paint of vivid picture of the things we may see in the game.

 

Check out the images below, and let us know what you think!

Unfortunately, Destiny doesn’t have a release date at this time; as soon as we learn when it comes out, so will you!

Bungie Studios, creators of Halo, Marathon, Oni, and more, today released a first look into their next title, Destiny. From this quick two-minute video, it’s crystal clear that Destiny is going to be something very special.

 

Take a peek at Destiny below, and let us know what you think!

 

 

“Everything changed with the arrival of the Traveler. It sparked a Golden Age when our civilization spanned the solar system, but it didn’t last. Something hit us, knocked us down. The survivors built a city beneath the Traveler, and have begun to explore our old worlds, only to find them filled with deadly foes.
 
You are a Guardian of the last safe city on Earth, able to wield incredible power. Defend the City. Defeat our enemies. Reclaim all that we have lost. Be brave.”

 

There looks to be some really groundbreaking stuff in here; smart phones and computers keep you in the game ever when you’re away from your console, and even from this early footage the game looks and sounds just beautiful.

 

I’m already sold, how about you? Destiny is yet to have a release date, but as soon as we know, so will you.
