Also launching today, another legendary game team was undertaking their own action adventure. Premiering today on the Red Bull YouTube Channel, episode one of ‘Destiny Dropzone: OpTic Gaming Take to the Sky,’: a three-part web series that chronicles members of this gold-medal winning eSports team as they train with the Red Bull Air Force for a Destiny-inspired sky dive mission.
As OpTic Gaming prepared for their own atmospheric adventure at 13,000 feet in the sky, fans here on Earth at the Bungie Studios event were eager to begin their own epic experience, in Destiny.
Check out the first episode of Destiny Dropzone: OpTic Gaming #1.

I know i will enjoy this game when i get it, but i certainly hope this is not the evolution of the FPS genre.
Why? because i do not want the future of gaming to be online only. Do not try to evolve other genres into an online only thing. Mmorpgs, arena based mmofps, and a few other sub genres are already there to please online-only fans.
Online-only brings more limitations than freedom, at the cost of even higher amounts of money. That future isnt worth it.
Yeh, pretty much.

Much like console players did for The Elder Scrolls Online...
This is game is going to be huge.
Its the retailers that are claiming this, like Gamestop and GAME. They are the ones who has the info
Please explain.
I am guessing you have been playing Destiny on console too? can you break down these aspects for us?
So what is it about this game that is "OMG So awesome!" ? I see people and marketing hyping the shit out of it. Is it just because it's Bunjie and they made Halo which was a big hit series?
Maybe it's because I've already spent so much time in games like Planetside 1/2, Defiance, Borderlands 1/2 co-op, etc. and this doesn't seem all that new to me.
They are different types of FPS though
Planetside 2 is a sandbox PvP game
Destiny is a PvE loot based game with dungeons and raids much like Diablo style with arena PvP on the side
They attract different gamers. If Destiny was trying to be a sandbox pure PvP game than it would be logical to compare.
Basically apples and oranges
No...you waited cause yer too lazy to play good/great games on PC. You waited for the wait....period.
According to you. The things you listed aren't things that everyone might like. So if those things don't interest them, just how exactly does PS2 blow Destiny out of the water? At the end of the day none of the things you listed matter one bit. If you were a "gamer" the only thing that would really matter is, "is it fun?" Also how exactly are you judging the longevity of a game that isn't even out yet? What is your conclusion based around? That PS2 is a pvp game? That it has been out longer?
In War - Victory.
In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.
This game is going to be as huge as that one game that came out recently, oh what is it's name? The one they were hyping so bad? Big mech robots, "genre changing features"...Er...oh yea, Titanfall!
/onto the next flavor of the month(s) please.
I am entitled to my opinions, misspellings, and grammatical errors.
I don't understand why you would cut off a huge section of your potential playerbase by not having it launch on PC as well. That's just a bad business model. Every gamer knows that PC is the best platform. My PC has more flops than the PS4 and XBox combined...
MMO players play on PC. Let's make an MMO that won't launch on PC...seems legit lol.
Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.
So Bungie isn't the ones who made the pc versions for Halo, Halo 2 etc? I would have to agree with you if this is so but if they are the ones who did the pc Halo versions well then their comfort zones should have expanded by now with some experience with pc porting already under their belt.
Anyhow on topic I just broke down and pre-ordered the glacier white ps4 destiny bundle as it has become available on Amazon again but I think I did so more for the white ps4 than Destiny as I wasn't all too impressed in the beta.
People who try to compare destiny to Planetside 2 really show that they have no clue whatsoever what Destiny is about. They are simply completely different games, comparing them is like comparing League of Legends to Everquest 2. Yes both titles have PvP but that's where the similarities end.
If you're looking for a sandbox mass PvP game then yes, Planetside 2 is your game. Destiny's strenght is in it's PVE (of which there is none in PS2), in that it really shines brightly. While it does have a very solid PvP game, these are more small scale battlegrounds as opposed to the mass battles in PS2.
Although I do like PvP, I could never "get into" PS2 for some reason, which is strange because i do love me some world vs world in guild wars, and I do love shooters. I really love Destiny though, this game is golden.
Here we go again......
getting all excited over the same old thing.......
FFA Nonconsentual Full Loot PvP ...You know you want it!!
Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?
Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.

:Disappointed:
Same here. After years of being able to use all my arm and hand muscles to control my crosshair by a moving a mouse, I am not able to use just my thumb to control a crosshair. It doesn't feel right in the slightest.
Also, 30FPS is a joke in 2014. Especially when it comes to shooters.
