I'm getting it on both, just depends on which loads faster after the launch tonight. Which ever one finishes first is the one I'll play on.
Very cool! I hope you go pick up Destiny. Even if it doesn't fulfill your need in terms of gameplay its a nice way to hold you over until the MCC releases.
I think we could possibly see both.
MS obviously want to see at least one Halo title a year and each mainline title takes about 3 years to produce. We could have Halo Wars 2 in 2016 and ODST 2 in 2017.
They would fill the gap just like between Halo 3 and Reach.

Yep, Pretty much. A few choice quotes:
Osborne said Sony has been "a really good partner" to Bungie, but the developer is also aware that they have a long way to go with Sony's fans after years of Xbox exclusivity.
"We have to make some inroads with Sony fans, who haven't really experienced any Bungie games before," he said.
"We're building on all four platforms that we've announced. We have to make sure that [Destiny] is amazing everywhere, especially as a new IP. We have to earn all these fans," Osborne said. "But specifically with Sony we have some work to do in terms of awareness and getting people excited about a Bungie game."
I'm sure it was a combination of money & it giving Bungie a few advantages like getting Playstation fans more hyped over Destiny. Activision was probably pleased too, Microsoft gets exclusive CoD content, Sony gets exclusive Destiny content, and they get more money & free marketing. Everyone wins!... except gamers.

It's a good point and would have made me buy a PS4.

Destiny installs on disc a lot faster then I thought it would. Rumours were it was 40gb.

Not me. Destiny is not my cup of tea. It's okay, don't get me wrong but I just did not enjoy it as much (IMO). I would much rather take Titan Fall or the MCC then that game.
Okay so these things are cool. reposting from HBO, I don't know why I'm not over there much anymore.
Reach's rain actually interacted with the environment as per droplet. I never noticed this and it's really cool.
and SPOILERS but here is a preview of Escalations issue 10, available September 24th. Really cool looking issue I think.

just choose the hunter class and snipe on every map until the MCC is released. sell destiny and 4 shot scrubs all day every day
MCC is almost here
Not sure about me. I think I'd end up getting it on the 360 and seeing how the game develops or if it fizzles out. MCC and future Halos are too good to pass up. Even as shitty as Halo 4's MP design were the gameplay was still better than Destiny*
*I haven't played Destiny so I can't really judge, Halo just seems much more fair and skillful. Less random."
EDIT: At Escalation preview... is it me or did the art change? For the better?

Something stupid.
Should HG members for November change their avatars to show thier favourite Halo map?
Just one, no cheating.

On one hand I think Microsoft probably should have done it. Bungie did enough for Microsoft and the Xbox (+ 360) to warrant an investment like that. Good faith and all that.
On the other hand, that is a massive investment and seeing what Bungie did with all that Sony money makes me laugh. I would say what a wasted investment but I'm sure it will sell well regardless of how boring and un-fun it actually is.
sure
But how shall we recognize who is who when everyone is wearing swordbase avatars

Well it kinda did, we're getting the MCC instead.
I'm super torn on if I'm going to get Destiny. Played the beta and I didn't find a single thing really "bad" about it at all. But when I was done with it my thought was "I'd honestly just rather play Halo"
Me 2, I rather play Halo also.

Yes come to the green side( evil laugh)
Crossposting from the lore thread, but FUD put out a short little podcast about post-PAX stuff. Give it a listen if you're interested.

At least the audio quality is marginally better than Reclaimer Radio?
Yeah, Chris Tchou went into detail about their particle collisions back at GDC2011 (Halo Reach Effects Tech - really good read if you have time to download the 434MB file).
IIRC, their particles will also do a comparison check against the screen space normals buffer (from the G-buffer), so depending on the speed and directions, the particles can be seen to react to the bumps/normals in the textures themselves, not just the plain geometry, but it's probably not particularly obvious.
edit: just a shame they don't have a particular moment like the golden shower on the wraith in the 1st Vidoc.

Does Bungie still update its own publications page or do you have to go hunt for GDC materials and the like now? I always really enjoyed those presentations, even if they were more technical (and occasionally they were much more broad too like how Floodgate was ripped from Cortana in Halo 3.)

I needed to do this.
He's ready. Are you?

They seem to have taken their publications down on their main site.
You should be able to find the past GDC ones still on gdcvault.com (search for "bungie" or "Halo").
You can find some other tech-heavy material here (SIGGRAPH): http://advances.realtimerendering.com/ (there's a really lengthy one on Destiny's renderer from 2013's conference).

I would do unspeakable things to get my Titan to look like that.

lol'd hard
Still can't get over how bad Destiny's PvP is. I'd take vanilla Halo 4 over it any day.
At least Iron Banner is hilarious. it's the Call of Duty "rich get richer" game design taken even further
Iron Banner is the most frustrated I've ever been in gaming. I cannot believe how hilariously unbalanced it is.

Iron Banner made vanilla Halo 4 look like fuckin Halo CE

I ain't even touching the MP unless its one objective mode is actually semi-good.

Can I use 120 100x1 strips of pixels to make up an avatar of every MCC multi map in the franchise?
And then use the remaining pixels to shove catinglasses.png and subzero.gaf into it?

If not it'll probably be Chiron or Gephyrophobia. No shame.
You can only use Relic if it is the one where it is my penis.
Ask her about her thoughts on the fappening.

Walk over to her and say, "Hi there. My people call me Toshi. I hope you're flying solo. How's about you and I join the mile high club?" Then slug her on the shoulder and wink.
I will not be held responsible for what happens next.
