Destiny Alpha - This Thursday only on PS4

Exactly.We'll probably need a gaf Beta impressions thread when it lifts. Anyone wanna make that?


Sweet that answers my question I PM'd you.

I'll be making a GAF thread at 3pm EST so GAFers can post their impressions from the wild, and so we can answer questions about how enjoyable this game is! I'm so excited.

I sent Urk a PM about that too, ha. Sorry Urk!

Yup. Sadly thanks to the leak it was the worst kept secret. Although I do give Bungie props for keeping the public portion under the rug till last nights conference. I didn't expect that.
 
I signed up for this mid-conference on my phone and 2 theater codes...I hope I get it. :P

But seriously, I might be giving away a code or two if people need/want them.

If you could PM me one you'd be the most amazing person ever. I turned 26 yesterday :D
 
Yup. It's been damn hard not to. It really has. You sit and you see people speculate on stuff and you just want to scream out.

Yes

Small understanding for devs now when they go through it and I didn't even help make the game. The Alpha leaked thread was something else.
 
So much for Free to Play, Sony. If Plus+ is required for the alpha, does that mean the final retail game requires it?

Did you... completely miss out on what happened last year?

Free to play games are free to play. Multiplayer in retail/downloadable games is behind PS+ now. The Alpha is a promo for a full retail game, so it's behind the pluswall.
 
The game isn't a free to play game. So of course it will. Free to play only refers to games that don't require money to buy.

The game is single player, with online elements/components. Its not a full multiplayer experience. You can play it without having to play with other online people. Doesn't make sense for it to require Plus+, especially when you don't need it for the PS3 version.

Guess I'll wait for the PC version where you can play for free, beyond paying for the game itself. Subscriptions for games are lame. Even full fledged MMO's are getting rid of them.
 
The Alpha is just Old Russia correct? I mean we won't get to wander The Tower and the like right? I saw some of the leaked videos but any ideas as to the activities we can do in those 3 days?
 
urk did I ever thank you for granting me a code for I believe a Halo Reach mappack? I know it's been 4 years, but that game was amaaazing <3. I'm sure Destiny will surpass it tho ^_^. You rock bro :).

Can't say now, but stick to NeoGAF and your question will be answered!

The polygon destiny impression video that got posted too early had footage from the Tower of the player in third person view. So I'm guessing the tower is indeed available in the Alpha

The purpose of PS Plus was also early access to certain game content, like alphas or betas. I understand your frustration, but this is not out of Plus' scope of content.

Edit: didn't know you could play the PS3 version without a sub. You do have a bigger point,

Are u trolling? The game does not require ps+ on ps4 just the alpha does. You should def wait for the PC version though.
 
I hope I get in! There's bound to be an underrepresentation of queer women. If only there was a minority form!

Seriously though, I don't mind - hopefully seeing more (shared by others) will get me excited for the Beta. I'm looking forward to this one - so nice to see all of that ambition.

Well hopefully the Destiny/Bungie GAF that got to play the alpha can put a lot of things to rest when the NDA lifts.
You guys got your work cut out.
