A little late on checking out the ViDoc but I'm all aboard the hype train. Bungie really know how to sell their ideas. If executed a persistent MMO type world for an FPS could be awesome.
I just want to point out that the some O Brave New World and the Destiny ViDoc interviews were filmed at the same time.

Examples:
1. Brave 1:16 Destiny 0:57
2. Brave 1:10 Destiny 3:28
There are more strewn throughout. Makes me wonder if the footage shown yesterday is recent.

Its just amazing that it got posted online and somehow you were the only goddamn person to notice it.
Seriously, the odds were so freaking low, haha.

To be fair, that really doesn't look like Halo. The engine reminds me a ton of Reach, for better and worse. But that looks different.. gives me a different feel, can't quite put my finger on it.
You got a source for that?

People that don't like the "always online" style have legitimate concerns, and I'm not taking shots at them.
But I really don't think you are getting the point of this game; it's not meant to be experienced alone in any way, shape, or form. It's 100% meant to be played with others, everywhere you go (or it sure sounds that way) so the lack of a singleplayer option is par for the course.
Of course, we still know little or next to nothing. But I'm fairly certain that this is what Bungie is trying to achieve; a game world that is always bringing people together. You are part of a group of warriors that always work together, no matter what. I for one am super pumped for this type of game; I'm sick of lobbies and waiting. I want a seamless co-op experience!
Take my money Bungie!

the way the characters are bouncing about it looks like a very pretty timesplitters.
I didn't turn out to be as excited for this as I thought I was going to be. I'll guess I'll wait for next gen version footage of this, Blizzard's Titan, and to see what kind of game Cyberpunk 2077 turns out to be (MMOFPS, single player FPS RPG, or single player third person RPG) to see what I'd be willing to commit my time to.
Not sure if anyone has seen this trailer but i have an unlocked link. Enjoy.
It is Epic.

The games visuals look like a really mixed bag, the lighting is really gorgeous, and the environments look great, but the characters look meh.
Even if this is up to date footage, it looks like they just pulled out in progress assets from play tests instead of trying to do a "Finished area" like they normally do for trailers, and demos.
I imagine it will look near the top of visuals for current gen games, and will be middle of the pack for next gen games.

Pretty sure one of those scenes wasn't in the ViDoc. Cool teaser/trailer/ad/spot thingy.
They are pushing this game fucking hard for something that isn't coming til 2014. Seems they expect good things. =)

Crosspost from DBO:
Inspired by a Reddit user, I decided to take a couple interesting frames from the trailer and annotate them with things I've noticed, as well as some speculation. I've tried to connect things together as best as I can. Remember, a lot of this stuff is subject to change, so take it all with a grain of salt. Apologies if it is difficult to read.
Thanks for reading!

More space marines. How innovative.

Honest question, how is this game about "space marines?" Aren't you able to cast magic in this?
Jest Chillin

I would guess that Strike is a Dungeon while Raid is.. well a Raid. Strike would be a smaller group, easier difficulty, and lower quality loot. Raid is larger group, greater difficulty, best loot.
Hopper is likely in-game terminology for a Transport. So to go to X Dungeon, you'd take X Hopper. The designation of Random Hopper would be the equivalent of having a system randomly place you in a Dungeon.
Faction Wars is the instanced PvP. Random Hopper suggesting random map/game placement.
So it breaks down to a very WoW-like system.

Interesting theory! I just went with Hopper for Playlist as that's what Bungie has sort of unofficially called Playlists in Halo in the past.
Lol... It's a SciFi shooter. There's going to be space marines of some nature, seems to be Titan is the "space marine" class. There's still Hunter and Warlock, which are quite different looking and probably have their own differences.
Jest Chillin

Well it basically is a playlist. I just went with the whole "name of a transport" thing from a lore perspective.
I guess my major concern with Destiny is regarding the co-op netcode. (fyi, in previous leaks, it was indicated that the game isn't a "dedicated server game" at all, might have changed since then, who knows?)
If the co-op netcode turns out to be crap, will I have the option to basically avoid playing with other people? I mean, it's indicated that you can play solo, and Jason Jones calls it a valid option, but it sounds like you will be running into other people regardless.
I don't like being forced into something especially if it's not going to work well.

"Hopper" is what Bungie use colloquially to refer to a playlist in general and it has been that way since Halo 3.
I just hope the matching is done behind the scenes to the point that it doesnt involve host migration screens stopping gameplay often. I really can't wrap my head around peer-to-peer for this one.
Interested to see how it switches from Server hosted hub world to peer-to-peer campaigning.
6 player parties running across other 6 player parties along a campaign level just sounds like lag city.
Or maybe it caps at 6 active players per mission/raid whatever.

Also, considering iPhone UI conventions, I was backwards I think with the bottom navigation bar. I think he's browsing the Bounties section in that picture that shows the Story, etc. And that Featured at the top is a featured (this week's?) Bounty. Not sure why I thought otherwise...

Yeah, I'm guessing it's more that a group of 4 could run into a group of 2 and join up.
They are players in armor, with gunsm in a sci-fi setting. I guess that means all sci-fi shooters are space marines?

Do we know if Destiny will be using the Reach engine or will it be a new one?

Was I the only one who thought the writings/spoken word promoting the game (in the press materials, narration in the trailer) was really kind of young adult/melodramatic?
MrGreencastle

They've said it's a "new" engine, but with the nature of in-house game engines, I don't doubt some of the technology and lessons learned "along the way" from Halo will be sprinkled throughout.

Specifically the last image. Notice the AR-like reticle.
Edit: oh shit, double post!
Reticles imply the opposite of aim down sights.
Not that you wont still scope, but reticles are hipfire... this pleases me

Does anyone else think/hope the ''magic'' powers the Guardians gained from the Travel are actually some kind of technological things? Like nano machines that can produce certain effects or other kind of invisible implants. I don't know why, but I've never really liked magic in my sci-fi.
electricpirate
Member
FWIW, there are plenty of games that have ADS and reticles .
IMO, we are pretty far away from discussing nitty gritty stuff like that. I know we are all used to speculating on this stuff from halo games, where they change in very small ways from one to the next. I think speculating on the possibilities of the grand nature of this shared world is far more interesting at this point
.In response to that reddit post, I just made this on DBO, but in that first image, those are indeed class emblems.
If you go on bungie.net and admin a private group, you can check the themes and that specific one in the first image is labeled "hunter". These are the images so far:
Cabal
Fallen
Racer
FOTC
Hunter
Titan
Titan Crest
Warlock
This leads me to believe that there are definitely more races/classes in Destiny.

From the marketing materials, I think that was the goal. They seem to be shooting for a star wars level of sophistication.

I was kind of under the impression that Bungie had to hand the Reach engine over to 343 along with the Halo IP, but I could definitely be wrong on that.
In any case, if there are bits of the Halo engine in Destiny, they've most likely been hugely altered in the last few years.
I am slightly worried about co-op netcode; I would be slightly baffled if this game didn't have dedicated servers.
Bungie did hand over the post reach branch to MS, but that is all. It split and Bungie continued to iterate on it.
This will almost certainly be server based and not, at least primarily, be p2p based. What I'm anticipating is a bunch of different areas that interact with eachother. Private or local areas with small groups of people that intersect with larger common areas that are public, in which you can run into all sorts of random people of some number, probably a variable amount based on the type of area eg a primary hub like the city below the traveler or a smaller primary area like Hell Mouth in which people congregate and you may see large scale happenings at some point but otherwise people split off and do whatever progression stuff on their own or with a small group. I see it being seamless, instance based, where you can be doing one thing in one area and then you step out of that area with your group and suddenly you're in a public group area, perhaps an instance randomly chosen based on the amount of players on whatever servers are used in that area and the amount of people you are friends with or have played with before. There would be all sorts of branches as people enter and exit certain areas, not specifically a hub but just where random strangers can interact on a small scale

There may not even be any more BWU. DeeJ was suggesting moving past that era for something new.

That would be very disappointing. The BWU gives the fans something to look forward to and talk about rather than hopelessly waiting for news everyday.
Well XBLA and PSN are both, primarily, P2P networks. I would be surprised if they did dedicated servers for this, outside of the hub worlds.
PC i could see P2P co-op and dedicated for the competitive multiplayer and hub worlds
