All these streams have me hyped up to play!
Probably going to get called out by google for a DDoS attack tomorrow when I start F5ing gmail.

Some screenie's. Obligatory tower shot like everyone else so far. Love it.
 
They just tweeted that everyone who signs up will be getting in. Heard it on a stream.

Neither the Bungie nor Destiny twitter have stated this.

Not like I've been keeping close check on them for codes that will inevitably be sniped by others and/or bots... nope... haven't been doing that...
 
Who is they?

I'm watching the stream of Medykuss on the PS app and he just announced in the stream that someone from Bungie (or Sony) just tweeted that if you sing up, you get in.

It makes sense since Sony are running ads on TV telling you that if you buy a PS4 now you can be in the Alpha.
 
I'm watching Ninja right now and it seems the accuracy penalties for not using ADS are not too big. I mean, I'd prefer if there weren't any, but at least it won't be as bad as COD and all those games. The accuracy penalty for jumps still looks huge, but I can't be sure, as I've yet to see somebody try to shoot while jumping without using ADS. Can anybody try that for me, and tell me how it feels? Is the penalty as huge as it seems?

I still hope you will be able to find weapons that don't penalize your accuracy in any way. That would be great.

Edit: BTW, is that chromatic aberration I'm seeing in the screenshots? It's subtle, but still...
 
Some of these screenshots are awesome. Definitely a bungie game with those awesome vistas.

Think I will just go ahead and start F5ing gmail now so I can get a headstart!
 
This stings :( Have they all gone out then?

EDIT: Oh, people got on early. So jelly. Still keeping my fingers crossed then.
 
I love that the multiplayer maps have different times times of day. It's one of the things I wanted since Halo 1.

Pretty cool.
 
If I had to guess, everybody will get access to the Alpha, but probably in waves:

From day to day:
Contest Winners/E3 Movie Theater People
More Contest Winners
PS+ Members
Everybody
 
This is only 4 days long. Unless they extend it I would be ultra disappointed to get in late.

It's also the very very first look at it, so I think they'll keep it more exclusive until the very end. I do think everybody will be able to play it, but I wonder if it'll be now or in the beta in a month.

Also, they've been giving out keys as prizes for contests and such, so I really don't think everybody is getting in first crack. I'd be pretty happy if that was true though.
 
Goofy question perhaps, and if it's been answered just point me in the right direction :), but how do the ships work? I've seen some videos where it's listed under your equipment or there are different colored ones but can you choose what class and customize it? If so to what extent and how?
 
Are there any voice actors in this game that dont sound bored and unconvincing?

Every video I watch with V/O makes me want to rip my ears off :( even...Peter Dinklage, which makes me extremely disappointed.
