Destiny is a new shooter game from Bungie. It is promising the tight shooting of something like Halo, the customization and scale and breadth of an MMO and also everyone gets a hoverbike!

The game is coming out September 9th.
Bungie is super classy. If you buy the last-gen version, you can get a free upgrade to the next gen/current gen version

Good old IGN has a bunch of info about the game
http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/04/destiny-everything-you-need-to-know-ign-first

There are three classes-- Hunter, Titan and Warlock. Hunters are sort of scouts or snipers. Titans are heavy hitters with lots of health/ Warlocks are SPACE WIZARDS

There are also three species or races-- ROBOTS, weird grey elves and humans. I don't think your species has any effect on anything other than your appearance. It might affect your dance moves.

I will be playing it on PS4.

I'll be on PS4, and in the beta as well. My PSN is cornell002 if we're gonna tear it up.

DouglasDanger

I have this weird feeling there are going to be a ton of Warlocks, but I think I am going to try that class out first. All three look interesting and fun to play, but Daft Punk robot with a trench coat who is a SPACE WIZARD is too good of a thing not to try out.

I am trying to find some videos to show off...

this MoreConsole guy has a bunch
https://www.youtube.com/user/MoreConsole

IGN has a bunch, but their website has its own goofy player or something
here's a thing for the beta

and another IGN beta thing

DD,

I think you and I are already friends, but I have every intention of being online tonight. Will add others, if they post their names.

DouglasDanger

There is less than one hour until I can start downloading the beta!

Beef Avenger

This game is going to get me to buy a PS4 probably. Watching alpha videos got me fully on board. I'll be waiting for full release though

DouglasDanger

It is go time!

(bungie's website is down)

Destiny Lead Designer Lars Bakken gave IGN some tips

I Win Swordfights

i have no more beta codes!

DouglasDanger

Yeah, you get three codes.

I got through the bungie site to get my codes, but now the Playstation store keeps crashing.

DouglasDanger

Sweet, I got my download started. It should take about three hours

UnbrokenEva

I would love a beta code

I Win Swordfights

Well then all my beta codes are gone!

DouglasDanger

I play PS4 in the USA

I am not sure how the keys work exactly. I'm going to see if a couple of my friends want a code, or if my one nephew wants one.

I Win Swordfights

Oh yeah I should have specified ps4 not ps3

UnbrokenEva

Swordfights

I Win Swordfights

the other one was claimed by Kevin Crist

Kevin Crist

Thanks again! I'm on PS4 as well.

DouglasDanger

I thought there was an SE gamertag psn whatever list somewhere, but i cannot find it

rhylith

Wait do you not just automatically get in if you were in the alpha?

I didn't get any emails I don't think.

Well I'm staring at all 3 of my codes on Bungie's website right now and I don't have an email either, so I think it's just a little bit slow

Bungie.net and PSN are on fire right now so I'd just wait until tonight at least

DouglasDanger

I think you can only get in the beta by pre-ordering the game from certain places. You then get a code, which you take to the bungie site. You put that code in, then pick your region and platform, then you get codes to put into the psn store.

cornell

I was in the Alpha as well, and had to preorder (was buying anyways) to get a beta code. If I somehow get another, I will most definitely give it away to one of you who doesn't.

BahamutZERO

is there multiplayer between the PS3 and PS4 versions? Or between the PS versions and the PC version?

DouglasDanger

My download is complete and installed. I just spent about 15 minutes in the character creator before settling on a shiny silver awakened warlock.

I Win Swordfights

This might be the best game ever made

There is not

There is definitely not cross-play between Playstation and PC

Because the game is not coming to PC

DouglasDanger

This is a good time

what are everyone's psn IDs?

cornell

cornell002, I'll be home and on later tonight, I'd definitely love to play

UnbrokenEva

mine's fearghaill

gotta get home, install it, take care of puppies, and then hopefully maybe play a bit tonight

probably play a bunch this weekend though

Kevin Crist

Alright, got the code working and it's now installing. Of course now I don't have time to play before work but it'll be ready when I get back

My PSN ID is IEATBRAINMEAT

AtomicTofu

I'll be playing on PS4! PSN ID is AtomicTofu.

DouglasDanger

My guy is goofy-looking

Bedigunz

Polygon is randomly giving out like 100 codes a day as well.

But do the same codes work for Xbone and PS3/PS4?

AtomicTofu

I believe the codes they're giving out need to be redeemed on bungie.net. After that, you can select a platform and Bungie will give you three download codes for that platform.

Yes it is, in about 6 months. They even found the entry on the Steam store.

I keep waiting for my verification email from Bungie but haven't received it yet. Anyone else have that problem?

I haven't heard anything about this. Can you back it up with some links?

UnbreakableVow

This is my Amazon preorder code, which you apparently log into Bungie and get three beta codes

R6T-LYK-D3X

So, whoever gets it, share with two other forumers

I loved the alpha and am completely sold on it - I don't need to play the beta, I'll just play the release

cornell

I have 3 additional codes for the PS4, first come first serve

Nope! There's some somewhere in the G&T thread tho. They took the page down almost instantly after it was shared around.
