Destiny [PS3,X360,PS4,XO]


PS4 vs PS3

This surprises me how close they actually look.

My PS4 has barely showed me anything yet that makes me feel I transitioned to the next gen. Games still look like 1.5 versions of the previous generation.
 
yes graphically it doesnt look that great (though hard to see in a low quality vid like the above)

ps4 = better framerate, higher quality textures/shadows/resoltuion/lighting etc
also little things like shoot the water you see ripples (ps3 nothing), the trees move in ps4 in ps3 they dont

btw a moon that close to a planet is impossible
 
it's the same kind of upgrades you see from tomb raider ps3 -> PS4 or last of US PS3 -> PS4 so i wonder why they can't make it run at 60fps ? Maybe they could achieve it but with variable framerate like tomb raider and wanted something locked all the way, so they went 30fps instead ?
 
Destiny on PS4 looks very nice. Sure, it is obviously crossgen game that uses little cartoonish art style, but I have the feeling that visuals will start to shine more when we can move away from earth to other planets.

edit - visual comparison of unveil vs beta footage

Beta looks much better IMO. They moved the level from autumn to winter, and they upgraded the geometry inside the kosmodrom [1.25 mark].

Most of the textures are higher res from the beta. A lot of new lights and geometry have also been added. I will characters look fabulous, environment look last gen, mostly because of th elast gen shaders on them.

On the gameplay front, a lot seems tweaked since the alpha. Wizards are much easier to kill than in the ALpha.

and surprise of the day: I am addicted to the MP :p ! This comes as a total surprise as i could not "get" the MP during the Alpha but now its pure awesomeness with that nagging feeling of "lets play one more match and then I will work" !!! The whole concept of having ur Supers into MP as well as your Rocket Launchers and everyone has their own variety of grenades and yet everything flows smoothly ! I was of the view that it would not work, but it works and it works so well !

Only Gripe: Why does it matchmake after every round ?!?!?

On the story front: I could not finish the last story mission on my own ! In co-op, me and Scuzzlebut(forgot ur B3D name?) breezed through it but later I tried it solo but could not clear the last part at all !

one BIG QUESTION: How does the Moon mission unlock ? Please, does anyone know ?

Holy shit, I am hooked to the MP :p ! and guess what, I am finishing 1st or 2nd and going kill streaks and what not ! Unbelievable ! the 6vs6 is just fantastic, and to think I was disappointed it wasn't 12 vs 12 ! Even the vehicles don't feel wrong in any way ! Its all just FUN !

What's the secret Bungie? I wanna know :p !!!

Also, getting good loot progressively, much better than in thre Alpha. ALso have some stuff now which requires level 9 !

It should have had some decent post processing on PS4 such as good quality full screen and object motion blur. The frame rate looks rough in comparison to Killzone SF.
 
So how many missions are there? I see five story missions and one level six co-op (non-story?). Do people play them more than once to level up?

4 Story missions (2 difficulties each)
1 Strike mission (2 difficulties)
1 explore (where you can wander around completing mini-quests)

level cap is 8 but you can keep playing and slowly get the upgrades.
Level cap in reality limits the weapons you can use. Unless it's a skill from another sub-class that needs to be unlocked with higher levels, the skills seem to be unlockable by continuing to play through beta. I'm almost through the 2nd row and starting to work on my third row.

Bungie has announced that there will be a special Beta event next saturday [26th], when they will try not only to gather the largest online population of gamers for server testing, but will also give special gifts. They hinted at something inside the Tower and something outside of the tower.

I think that we will get to play Moon mission on that day.

Also, everything gathered from the Beta will be transfered to the retail version. So... leveling up skills, collecting vangard/crucible points, and finding few rare lvl 9-10 item drops [or getting them through purchase of random Ingrams] can be put to good use in a few months.
 
Are you sure stuff will carry over? I mean, its a beta !
I f so, I need to get my Warlock up n running, although I have started liking my Titan too now.

EDIT: I won't be able to play on the 26th, am travelling. Looks like I will miss the goodies :( !
 
Seems to be a very small respawn range for NPC enemeies, at least the one spot I noticed it happening yesterday.

Outside the entrance to a large building there was a captain and a standard enemy. I killed them then noticed directly behind me was a small shed so went to the shed and searched it. When I came out, the two enemies had respawned in the exact same spot.

Cheers
