I heard the PS4 version was downgraded, is this true?

Wut?

 

[Dreadnought]

Where did you hear that?

I've seen some people posting that the PS4 version has been downgraded since the reveal.

Just wondering if there's any truth to that.

 

[Nyteshade517]

In terms of stats? Probably not. They did say that Beta testers get something, probably an icon next to their names or something.

Q. Do I get something cool for playing the Destiny Beta?

Yup! Play the Destiny Beta on Saturday, July 26th, beginning at 8PM PDT, to earn an exclusive emblem for the retail version of Destiny. We’ll also be delivering some fun and unexpected surprises throughout the Beta!

Yup, thought as much.

 

[jtenma]

I'd say it'll be up for less than an hour. Between PS3 and PS4 users, download servers and Bungie servers will get absolutely hammered so who unless they have a contingency plan, it could be a bit of a mess for a while so it could be a few hours before it returns to normal. I mean hell, Bungie.net has been struggling on and off since they updated it and people were making and joining groups and clans.

This.

IT. WILL. GO. DOWN.

Mark my words. Good thing I am working on the 17th. Less pain.

Can you link to where people are saying this? I would never have thought it was.

The current version of the FAQ changed the time to 8PM instead of 2. No idea why, but yeah: https://www.bungie.net/en/View/Bungie/DestinyBetaFAQ

good catch...edited my post

All I know is that Bungie said the Xbone version will not be running at 1080p, so people automatically assume ps4 will be the same. The ps4 ran at 1080p in the Alpha, no reason that should be worse in the beta.

I asked this in another thread, hoping to get as much input as I can...

How is the mic on the Sony Gold headset?

It's $80 on Amazon right now and I'd like to know if I'll be able to actually communicate clearly with my teammates if I purchase one. Read some things and it sounds like it's hit or miss?

 

[rgnine]

Why isn't the OP filled with relevant information where I could easily look up answers to common questions and not have to post in the thread and wait for a reply?

Are you in the Early Access Beta? I saw a Dax, and was wondering if that was you.

How did you get in? Who did you sacrifice to the bungie gods?

People predicting *PSN* outages surprise me, this is a beta that will, at absolute best, have a couple of million people downloading it over the first couple of days. The actual concurrent number of people downloading or patching the game will be much lower, and it's a drop in the bucket compared to some big PS3 game launches like GTA5.

Now, if you want to predict some matchmatching or login servers on Bungie's end crap out a bit, yeah maybe.

I don't know man. When EA announced the battlefield hardline beta PSN straight up died.

Pretty sure it's the Dax from here, Deej showed her on his friends list during the IGN stream.

 

[boredofcanada]

I don't think PSN is gonna go down in flames. The alpha rush ran pretty smoothly. Only thing that sucked was download times. Took me over two hours.

 

[todd360]

PSN dies tomorrow. The stress was to great. The knees of psn buckled. Neogaf is filled with great sorrow.

Please hold servers!

 

[Halo 2]

This.

Same here, by the time I get home it should be in working order...I hope

Its really good. I got mine for $99 and I love it. It gets the job done well.

 

[Vire]

The alpha was 6 gigs also, this is 12 gigs.

PSN bursted into flames during the initial wave of BF Hardline, so it wouldn't really surprise me to be honest.

 

[CornDogg]

Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but I don't think PSN will go down tomorrow. Maybe Bungie's servers, but not PSN. 9/9, on the other hand...

Being that tomorrow is the Beta . I needs more Gaffers on my PSN friends list.

I'm not worried about the PSN servers at all. They've been great so far.

I'm not sure if this is too relevant, but I use the previous iteration, the Sony Pulse Elite, and I love it. I use it to stream and it has always sounded really good. Never heard any complaints from teammates or viewers. Sony's Playstation line of headsets is pretty much the best in that price range, and the PS4 functionality is great. I recommend it.

Just added you !

3 people on my friends list playing the beta... So jealous right now.

 

[harriet the spy]

So, this might be a dumb question - but for those who purchased digital on ps4 - why is the digital guardian edition cheaper than the expansion pass, given that the digital guardian includes the expansion pass?

eh, playing early is nice but public events are no fun without many people. the real action starts tomorrow.

Since I'm new to psn, I could use some requests as we'll: MacjesterUK

Because you're only paying for the difference between "regular" and Guardian Edition.

 

[harriet the spy]

Because you're only paying for the difference between "regular" and Guardian Edition.

fair enough. So I guess this means that at current pricing, it makes no sense for anyone to buy the game full price at release and the expansion pass instead of the guardian edition.

 

[everyday math]

Ok, work 7-4 tomorrow not bad not bad.

I'll see ya'll after 4.

11:30-8:00 for me... Today, too. Weird training schedule.

 

[AppleMIX]

Do we have a hard time when this is going to start?

 

[CmdrShepard]

Gugh... Everytime i wake up there are more and more pages to go through - so much so that i ain't going to reply to them like i normally do.

Regardless we are so close. See you US bros when you wake up tomorrow.
