Beta pre-order bonus

The question is, which platform(s) will the beta be available on?

Could be a system seller if limited to one.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

It would be better if the middle guy's helmet didn't read as a visor from behind. Gets a little visually confusing there especially with the cape.

 

[everyday math]

Nice one.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

I understand the desire to have gun-toting heroes on the cover, but I was hoping for something better than this. It's a neat piece of art though.

 

[statham]

Was hoping that this boxart would be chosen.

this would have been much, much better.

 

[Odrion]

Oh god, I can't unsee the Chief helmet and now that boxart is really weird to look at. It looks like their heads are all on backwards.

I have a feeling it will be PS4, given their relationship with Sony. (Reveals at their conferences, "exclusive content", Playstation blog cover and trailer reveals.)

The question is will you be getting a PS4 and will you be making the OT?

Spoiler

Taxi cab confession time.

Yeah, which to be honest would be enough to make sure I pick one up at launch. I am easily lead.

 

[Hyunashi]

Shitty cover but hype for trailer.

 

[Caayn]

Hoping that it will be atleast on both Xbox and Playstion. Don't care for current- or next-gen version. Although I fear for a PS4 only beta.

 

[Sylver]

The same for the EU.

 

[RagingAvatar]

The original Destiny preorder art was *much* better.

This is.. a fail.

Probably (already leaning that way), and no. I'm retired.

So, after a crop job it really does look like the guy in front is facing forward. It's like his arms and legs are backward.

 

[DragonSworne]

Is the helmet on backwards?

 

[Riddler]

Faith +1

Nice cover but needs more planet.

 

[Red Chocobo]

His head is on backwards.

 

[Tagyhag]

Meh cover, I guess this gen is going to be about having your back turned instead of walking towards the "camera".

 

[LiquidMetal14]

That does look weird how it's almost like the main guy is wearing a scarf and his hands are facing the other way.

 

[Horp]

Dont care about the cover really, im always going DD. But give me that trailer!!

 

[silver.tongue]

The back of the guys head looks like the front of master chief's helmet.

Hi-la-ri-ous.

 

[The Librarian]

Was hoping that this boxart would be chosen.

I wish that would've been the boxart too, or something like it. Maybe a reversible cover? Or a special edition with something like it?

New trailer tomorrow? Pretty sweet.

 

[GhostSeed]

Every time I see that logo I think of this...

 

[dmr87]

Is the helmet on backwards?

Cannot unsee.

 

[Concept17]

Was hoping that this boxart would be chosen.

This looks nicer, but is NOT better. Its super vague and says absolutely nothing about the game.

Hell it looks more like something Star Wars related with dat death star.

 

[gamerforever]

The original placeholder was nice, but for mass market appeal this is far better.

It just looks 'right' on the PS4's electric blue casing doesn't it?

 

[starwarsfan541]

New trailer tomorrow and a Nintendo Direct tomorrow?

Maybe Wii U is getting Destiny.

 

[Silky]

Looks ok.

 

[Chobel]

Was hoping that this boxart would be chosen.

Damn, it looks so much better.

His head is on backwards.

Can not unsee...

 

[Chamber]

Maybe Wii U is getting Destiny.

 

[Acosta]

For shame, this has all the aspect of a marketing team going rampant and thinking they are suple clever by putting something like Chef in the cover. Very let down with it.

 

[-PXG-]

It took me a while to realize that I'm looking at the back of the helmet. :/

Place holder was better

 

[Skidd]

Should have been more like:

Still, it's just a box art. The world ain't gonna end.

 

[Trey]

I don't like.

 

[Visualante2]

This is how you do announcement of announcements. Give us something to look at and talk about in the meantime. Keep the duration to the reveal short. Well done those involved.

FWIW I like the box without the guns.

 

[Juan]

Nothing very new here, but GameTrailers has an Xbox One version of this box art :

Can't find it on Bungie.net or DestinyTheGame.com, so I'm sure GT made this by themselves.

 

[G17]

A lot of Bungie fans will be hurt if the beta is ps3/ps4 only. Hoping the beta is on both PlayStation and Xbox platforms. (Current or next gen)

 

[Skeff]

Combined with the cloak the simiilaritiy with the Halo E3 reveal is actually comical, considering who the developer is.

 

[Hot Coldman]

the back of his head looks like Master Chief

 

[Zoon]

Hmm, was expecting something better but I am ok with that.Nothing special.

 

[JWong]

lol definitely looks like master chief

 

[VicDaMoan03]

looks good.

 

[lupinko]

the back of his head looks like Master Chief

I was going to say this, so cannot unsee now.

 

[Whompa]

That is so awkward...

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

What a bad box art... not the worst that I've seen but still...

I mean compare that to the boxart of their previous game Halo Reach :

Way batter in terms of colors, composition and everything.

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

Whoa! Guys, the back of his head looks like Master Chief!

 

[The Librarian]

Whoa! Guys, the back of his head looks like Master Chief!

Wait, are you saying that the back of the center dude's head looks like Master Chief?

Holy shit! You're right! Anybody else seeing this?

 

[Wolfgang Jr]

Yeah, because they wouldn't want 2 BILLION people picking it up because it looks like STAR WARS. Geez.

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

Wait, are you saying that the back of the center dude's head looks like Master Chief?

Oh my god, if you look really close, he's wearing a cloak that resembles the poncho Master Chief is wearing in the E3 trailer too!
