Destiny - 9/9/14 (PS3/PS4/X360/XB1)

[Takiwaki]

FYI servers are still up

[Akiyama]

Wait really? They extended how long it was gonna take?

Also if anyone has a spare Destiny codes? Trying to sneak my friend in on this extra day if I can, PM me~ If not that's cool. I'm enjoying it myself <3

[Lonely]

I don't know why people are saying its like Borderlands; I guess they haven't actually played it? Its basically Mass Effect with much better Halo controls.

The gameplay is very close to Borderlands, closer than Mass Effect but the setting is more like Mass Effect. If you like either games though you'll love Destiny.

Check their twitter, servers will be up and down and weird things will happen because they will be messing with a few things.

I believe this was a universal code that works for everyone, have your friend try it. Keep in mind the download is 7.8GB.

Alright I"ll have em try. She was a huge fan of Mass Effect (which this game is..super close to) plus the Bungie stuff/Halo and was looking forward to it but felt bad she didn't know the Alpha was this past week :<

[Akiyama]

Edit: And code was a no go

[vrumpt]

The android app is pretty badass.

I took a bunch of pictures of anybody wants to see what it looks like who can't.

PlayStation Exclusive Content Detailed

Spoiler: show

During last week’s PlayStation E3 2014 Press Conference, you might remember the illustrious Adam Boyes noting that PlayStation owners were set to receive a ton of exclusive Destiny content — literally too much to detail in the show itself. Now that the E3 hubbub has died down, I asked Bungie and the PlayStation elders to share those details right here on PlayStation.Blog for the first time.

At launch, PS4 and PS3 owners will get exclusive access to a unique co-op Strike located on Mars, an exclusive competitive map, and a slew of exclusive guns, gear, and ships. Read on for the full details below.

The Dust Palace Strike: An exclusive three-player cooperative Strike that can be played with friends or match made. You’ll track a Cabal extraction team through the husks of an ancient human skyscraper, the Dust Palace, buried in the shifting dunes of Mars and face a new enemy, the Psion Flayers.

The Exodus Blue Competitive Multiplayer Map: A mid-sized Crucible arena that pairs perfectly with Control and Skirmish game modes. The Exodus Blue, a long-dead vessel, once brought hope and humanity to worlds beyond Earth. Here, Guardians challenge one another, forging a new hope and future in the fires of the Crucible.

Gear

• For the Warlock class, Manifold Seeker armor that was built to help Warlocks survive the secret realms of the Vex.
• For the Titan class, Vanir, a battle-tested armor set forged to protect Titans against the heavy firepower of the Cabal.
• For the Hunter class, Argus, a durable all-environment wire-weave for those out to scout the frontier.

Guns

• The Monte Carlo, an exotic assault rifle, is a handcrafted showpiece with a sleek look that masks the cruel reality of its function — the efficient elegant delivery of war against any who would tarnish its legacy. Upgrades increase the weapon’s “hip fire” effectiveness and boost melee cool down, providing a firm grounding for close range domination.
  
• The Hawkmoon, an exotic hand cannon, is a true gunslinger’s weapon — a smooth sidearm that makes every bullet count with intricate “hawk feather” etchings carved into the weapon’s silvered barrel. Damage boosts increase the combat effectiveness, making it a formidable weapon.

Ships

• “Aurora Wake” - A hull lined with arcane instruments, crafted by a circle of Warlocks – gifting the ship with a preternatural sense for the strange.

• “Crypt Hammer” - A deep-strike insertion variant, built to carry Guardians safely through contested space. Carries hardpoints once used to hold Suros TL-SEAD anti-radiation missiles.

• “Outrageous Fortune” - A rugged, versatile explorer for those ready to gamble everything in search of ancient secrets and alien power.

I haven't followed this thread recently and I can't find concrete info on Google (so maybe there isn't any yet) But has Bungie said if servers will be cross platform or not? My buddy got an Xbox for this and if I decide to buy the game I'll get a PS4 for it, but if we can't play together that way then I might just pass for bit.

[Akiyama]

god if it is cross servers it'd make this game an even bigger win honestly.

[vrumpt]

That would be too awesome to happen, therefore it won't. Last I heard nothing had changed and the players are still gonna be split between 4 consoles.

[Celeras]

I was assuming ps3 could play with ps4. Don't really see why not, unless PS+?

Negative 175% chance Microsoft will allow cross servers w/Sony. From previous reports Sony doesn't care and is all for it, but Microsoft will never allow it

[Adajer]

I wouldnt want to play with xbox scrubs anyway.

[Buffy]

So I asked this earlier, but the answer got kinda squirrly.

The consensus from the last couple (20+) posts is that this game has a very similar (not identical) feel to mass effect? I loved the mass effect trilogy and need a new game (I'm aware it's not out yet).

[Serra]

They've said that you can transfer between PS3/PS4 and 360/XBone. But yeah, nothing else apart from that. I've convinced a friend to buy a PS3 so we can play together since you can play online free on PS3. He'll just have to accept terrible graphics forever..

Is XI the only game that has allowed cross platform between Sony and Microsoft?

[Krandor]

Think so, and very few games have been between Xbox and PC as well.

[Rulke]

Well thanks for the input everyone. I understand the corporate choices in not allowing cross platform servers, but it still makes me sad

In a lot of ways, yes. It combines some of the better aspects of many RPG Shooters, like BL and Mass Effect, in a good way. Vehicles control nice too. It has a lot of promise, a whole lot.

I feel like this has happened a few times in recent memory. Its truly a miracle FFXI made it to Xbox tbh, since it was on PS2 as well.

I don't know why people are saying its like Borderlands; I guess they haven't actually played it? Its basically Mass Effect with much better Halo controls.

Probably because some people have never played Mass Effect, and since all 3 are at core RPG Shooters, conclusions will be drawn based on the games ones have played. Baffling.

[Qalbert]

pretty easy to make it sound like borderlands. it's a co-op friendly shoot and loot fps/rpg in which you level up as a specific class with an action skill, there's a robot companion (stretching a bit here obviously) and you can construct vehicles out of thin air

[Cayos]

What Qal said. To me it's a cross between Borderlands and Halo.
