hmm alright. not as harsh as I'd like it, but that's cool. I was hoping for a complete restart if a group wipes.

Is there any form of agro/threat? Do Titans have any tanking like ability?

What about the weather? I seem to remember seeing some snowy weather from some alpha footage. Is there rain/fog/thunder and things like that?

Not in Old Russia, but it does snow intermittently (stops for a while then starts up again).
Edit: There's thunder/lightning in the distance, but it never comes to be right over your head.
That's hot.
Oh god damn. Looks nice.

Hunter, the most nimble class. I love my throwing knife and jumping around is so much fun.
LOL, get outta here.
Streaming at http://www.twitch.tv/jaklap/ if anyone wants to watch.
Kinda half playing/half watching the Finals, just a heads up haha

from the giantbomb playthrough it seems all the enemies just run towards you in a dumb fashion like borderlands instead of ducking and dodging halo elite style.
so picking that tank dude seems more logical so you can withstand more melee hits

So can we join factions in the alpha or are they just there for right now?
Man.. the skyboxes are just awesome in this game. Keeping up the Bungie legacy.

WOW man, I have to say I'm so impressed by the visuals.
No lockstep anymore

I have Destiny on the top of my must-have list for this year. I played the Alpha and now the Pre-Alpha and the progress between these two builds speaks to the effort this team is putting into this game. And this is just a taste. I still say this is like a Halo/Skyrim/Blizzard love child and that should make you excited. Coop Strikes will certainly be my most played mode, but I am very intrigued by Luke's magic that Bungie has been teasing us with in podcasts. The Tower's various resources for upgrading your character will certainly lead to a lot of peacockery as Guardians strut about in their hard-earned gear for all to see. The atmosphere, the art style, and the music all have Bungie written all over them although I think the Haloesque soundtrack is too close to Halo and doesn't carve out enough of a unique sound for this IP. All in all, if you think flying around in your personal spacecraft to reaches of space with some online buddies in a quest to rid the universe of evil while collecting loot and gear that adds to your character's character then Destiny should be sought out without hesitation.

Those screens look fucking amazing. I'm pretty stoked now that I let the pushy Gamestop employee pressure me into a preorder.
I applied for the Alpha. Anyone gotten an email yet?

Streamed for a couple hours. I actually had like 300~ people for a little while which was crazy!
Did a Raid with Dax and Raven, and it was a lot of fun.
Maxed out my Hunter and have done basically everything there is to do storywise, so tomorrow I'll give the Warlock a shot!
It's really nice to see the faction logos that we've known for years within the context of the game. Go Dead Orbit!

When I saw this PVP footage, I feel this is really decent multiplayer, except vehicle is too strong.
Good. Can't wait for Beta.

IQ looks great, happy that it'll be 1080 on XBO. Love the lighting here, great shot.

Yeah, the image quality is pretty great. No complaints there, I just hope they beef up the texture resolution on some of the weapons and the game can look a little flat in some daylight conditions.
Other than that, this game can be truly beautiful, huge draw distances, no pop in even when zooming along on your Sparrow, cool weather effects.
The art really shines seeing it so crisply in person.

Those are some big turrets. I wonder if the City will ever get attacked.
