Support NeoGAF

“From our perspective as a developer, it’s hard to fault GTA Online for caving under something like 10 million players trying to hit servers at the same time,” Bungie’s Eric Osborne told IGN. “We need people to play story, multiplayer and co-op. We need them to go and create characters so we can understand those systems and what they mean for us. We need lots of people to hit the servers at the same time, see how they use guns and play the early stuff, what the competitive multiplayer looks like with many different levels. Working on Destiny every day doesn’t compare with a million gamers crashing against it.

EDIT: You can get a beta code just from having the game pre-ordered.

 

[Tucah]

Well I'll do my part

 

[SolsticeZero]

They have my sword

 

[Stimpack]

Well, that'll probably happen with all those people canceling their Amazon pre-orders after getting keys.

That said, I can't wait to see what they have to offer and I hope their servers do a decent job at managing the load.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

How do I get in on Ps4? Is it open?

 

[TheMink]

Send me 5 unsolicited beta keys then

 

[Booshka]

So they want a million Pre-Orders?

 

[Mpl90]

Is it a free beta, right?

In that case, I'll be one of them. ...On PS3, since I don't want to buy a next gen console yet (even if PS4 is tempting me more and more, but I can't buy it now ), but I'll play it for sure.

 

[SJRB]

Well send me a beta key then, dudes.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Don't you need to preorder to get into the beta? If so, I'm sure they do, lol.

 

[Aesthet1c]

How do I get in on Ps4? Is it open?

Just pre-order it and you get a beta code.

 

[smurfx]

They have my sword

and they have my bow.

 

[satam55]

Than they should announce a PC version.

 

[MaizeRage25]

How do I get in on Ps4? Is it open?

Preorder.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Don't worry Bungie, I will be there to do my part

 

[MistaBowaa]

and my bow.

And MY axe.

 

[cormack12]

and they have my bow.

And my.....AXE!


Damn, those periods cost me......

 

[EloquentM]

Tell me how I can get if.

 

[dark_prinny]

And my.....AXE!

And my DualShock 4!

 

[Chobel]

Then release a PC version.

 

[TheMink]

Can i get a beta key without preordering?

 

[bidguy]

an open beta wouldve been better then

 

[dark_prinny]

Than they should announce a PC version.

satam55
Junior Junior Member. If I ever say something you disagree with, just passive-aggressively call me a "Junior". Then you win the argument.

Nice tag...

 

[RoboPlato]

I'll be there.

 

[Bedameister]

Give me those keys and I'll promise you that 1 Million people will get them

 

[Steverulez]

If they want that then they shouldn't be using it as a pre-order incentive, they should just put them up for everyone on XBL/PSN.

 

[-PXG-]

Then do an open beta that anyone can download from PSN or XBL.

 

[Defect]

If they want that then they shouldn't be using it as a pre-order incentive, they should just put them up for everyone on XBL/PSN.

Talk to Activision then.

 

[ZROCOOL]

Need that beta code first. Pre-order from GameStop?

 

[Trigger]

They have my preorder. I'm down Bungiesus.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

In other words, Bungie want a million people to preorder Destiny.

 

[Shogun1337]

They have my sword

And they have my halberd.

 

[Dartastic]

I just preordered from Amazon. Apparently you get the code within a day?

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Then do an open beta that anyone can download from PSN or XBL.

Exactly.

 

[katsubento]

I preordered and have my beta key. Having not really been into fps much, I'm surprised I am really looking forward to this.

 

[Flightmare]

I'll be there on ps4

 

[Kane1345]

I'm signed up and ready to go on PS4, can't wait

 

[The Lamonster]

urk has come so far

 

[ShinAmano]

Hmmm...I kind of want to...but also want to go in fresh...what to do?

 

[Mugatu]

Then give our beta keys - don't only give them to people if they buy another game or if they buy some crappy fast food.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Already signed up for the Sanyo PS4 version.

 

[Mentok]

Count me in.

 

[NoTacos]

The beacon of Destiny! The beacon is lit! Bungie calls for aid........











And NeoGAF will answer. Muster the Rohirrim! Assemble the army on all supported consoles, as many members as can be found! We have four months. On the fifth, we ride for Destiny. And WAR.

 

[Adam_Roman]

Then give our beta keys - don't only give them to people if they buy another game or if they buy some crappy fast food.

I got my code from pre-ordering. If you pre-order by the end of the year you get a beta code I believe.

 

[Dark Octave]

I never work for free but I guess I can let it slide just this once.

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

Since they're talking about having competitive multiplayer in the beta, isn't it about time the unveil some details about it?

 

[Neuromancer]

Sounds good to me Bungie. I'm ready whenever you are.

And yeah GTA Online was FUUUCKED at launch. I can't imagine having a beta wouldn't have helped them prepare.

 

[BraXzy]

I'll be there. I can't wait. Don't disappoint Bungle <3

 

[Nerdkiller]

I'll do my part.

 

[Gamefreaks221]

Sounds like a very reasonable goal. If anything they should be getting way more than this.
