I've got all the map pack and playing btb i've seen no dlc maps since march.
This might not be the case with all playlists but I've been using greater population higher chance of dlc shame it isn't as well integrated as halo 3 was with the dlc.

It's the only game I'm excited for on the new consoles. It getting delayed is fine since I wasn't really wanting to buy a PS4 right away, and now I won't have to until the summer.
The playlists would be 100 people if they did DLC like Halo 3. They won't go back to the Halo 2 version where they went free 2-3 months after release, so whatever. It's a ripoff and they'll continue doing what they please.

ugh - looks so fuckin' ugly and cheap. Why would you post these?
I don't care how many people are on the team or how pretty / unique / stylized it looks, the graphics are just the worst. I don't know why those indie devs even try.

I think it looks cool and I have to say Halo has generally looked subpar but had a better aesthetic than most games too.
Aesthetic is more important than graphics to me.
Destiny is still doing nothing for me.

VGX was pathetic apart from two indie titles. Broken Age and No Man's Sky stole the show. Destiny trailer deflated my hype moreso than create hype, Quantum Break footage had like 6 seconds of new footage (looked good though), and Titanfall stuff was overhyped (second trailer was pretty good though).

That's good to hear and yeah, 6-7 players is best for games like Hotshot, Power Slayer and Cranked. Remember I enabled team options for these gametypes so you can play them with teams
Huh does look very similar.

Exactly. It's the only game in a long time that actually has some sort of saturation to their colors. In terms of graphics, as long as it doesn't make me motion sick after playing long lengths (i.e. Super Mario 64 as much as I love that game), I'm fine with it. I also love the idea of a persistant open-world universe. I WILL be picking up this game.

We might have to go into cryo sleep for this one.
I think it's one that's an actual scene. A full environment.
I dunno, but you're right I think. The last really good one I can remember was the "meet the team" ODST one. I remember the Reach launch trailer being sloppily edited, and this Destiny one didn't have any kind of arc or rising action to it.
Sigh...

Yeah that was pretty good for an awesome/freakout moment, exwife.
And on the exact opposite was the round right before that when Wahrer(?) was driving me back and I hit a branch about three feet from the target zone and died because I had such low health. What a deflating moment.

Oh god I hope not, please no stupid gamecover reveal.
Yep, though the first Reach Reveal was also still ok, but Desperate Measures ODST was the last really good game trailer (their liveaction ones all were super)
The Destiny trailers all feel the same and none gets me remotely excited for the game.

Yeah it was me. You somehow disemboweled yourself on a shrub. :lol
Also, to those saying bungle sux at trailers - see the BUNGLE PRO trailers and the Reach Beta trailer.

I feel like that is always what happens with open world and procedurally generated content. For such a small studio it seems impressive though. Time will tell.

I think part of the problem is that in the past, a lot of the procedurally-generated worlds deliberately shot for more of a desolate atmosphere, even the brighter ones like Minecraft. Trying to make something seem big and bombastic while you're running around in a world generating a whole lot of nothing is going to be difficult.
I always wondered if something like this would happen. When the gulf between an AAA title made by several hundred people over a period of 1-3 years with a budget of over a hundred million dollars, and a title made by a few people, with 1/100th the resources and time, would be too wide for some people and they'll write it off without ever giving it a chance.
You see it in the movie industry already. So many people don't watch independent films, or 'straight to dvd/netflix' movies for the sole reason that they don't have a big name budget, effects or stars.
I had to watch No Man's Sky trailer like 3 times in a row. How can you not be impressed? Everything was in engine. Only four people made it. With all the hype surrounding it now, I'd bet offers to publish, exclusivity and money are rolling in. If anything, more people should support this game.

I still can't get over how No Man's Sky is basically EXACTLY what I expected from Destiny. How has Bungie not released a trailer where you get in your spaceship and fly to the moon? I would have figured something like that would have been one of the very first things we saw.

I agree and it's such a shame.. People are so close-minded.
Because Bungie. I'll never get over the fact that Bungie was once a standard-setter for the industry. It's crazy to think about how much credit they get, meanwhile other companies are doing the same things they do, and then some.
Add on to that that their games take 3+ years to develop and it's still shocking how people hold Bungie in such high regards. Hopefully Destiny proves us all wrong though; I'm sure it'll be fun, but will it blow our minds?

From press snippets I have gathered, it seems that flying the ship is just a cutscene sadly.
I pray that I am misinterpreting.
Im pretty certain you don't actually fly to the places yourself. That wouldn't make much sense.
Yeah, you cannot drive spaceships.

I don't know what to think at the moment, but they really haven't shown us anything. It's been 75% re-used b-roll since like E3. Just think back to the initial Halo 4 reveal video where armor abilities, perks, ordnance, etc, was no where to be found.
For all we know the footage we have seen may just be scratching the surface of what Destiny actually is...and that is what I'm hoping is the case.
Is it 100% confirmed?

Sadly yes :[ - I was hoping for something like Reach's Sabre mission where you can do at least something in space.
Speaking of which, that mission had the best space combat and possibly even flying in general since Rogue Squadron/Leader. Yet another thing that's a damn shame we have yet to see again.

The first answer? lol I wouldn't take that as confirmation. I'm hoping Bungie doesn't take the easy way out and just turn it into a cutscene, cause that would be insanely disappointing.
I look at a game if it interests me, the fact how many people worked on it is totally irrelevant for me.
Destiny and No man's Sky still have a lot of doubt from my side.
