Support NeoGAF

[j_rocca42]

I'm having serious withdrawals

 

[BRocknRolla]

Because it looks like his head is on backwards. Masterchief's helmet facing one way and then the body facing the other. Once you see it, you can't unsee it kind of thing.

I'm really surprised this made the final cut and no one said anything about it to be honest...

Huh... Yeah, I do see it now. It's like one of those "Do you see and old or young lady?" images. I can see why you don't like that.

I'd like to have this one:

But I guess you need to have a guy holding a gun on the cover.

Definitely do prefer the "traveler" cover.

 

[Kelsey]

Yeah the helmet kind of looks like Master Chief's from behind.

Maybe that's what they were going for?

Halo looking backward, Destiny is straight ahead? =)

The cards seem unreadably low-res and laggy on my laptop

 

[Marvel]

I'd like to have this one

As would I

Will have to make do with it being my desktop background instead.

 

[everyday math]

The game felt soooo good! I wish they could add track pad support for the cursor in the later versions.

I tried remote play too. It looked unbelievable on Vita's OLED screen!

See below:

Glorious.

Also I just got my own Vita.

 

[Marvel]

All I want right now is to be able to boot the Alpha up and take new pictures but we can't.

 

[CLBridges]

I was thinking about what really engaged me within this game. And, although the PVP is fun, Strikes and Story mode were awesome, it was the Exploration mode. I just loved dropping into Old Russia and gazing at the landscapes and structures and finding new things to see. Yeah, the world is littered with enemies but it wasn't overwhelming and I could easily hover right past them if I wanted.

I think this is what I've always wanted in a game. I know it's primarily an FPS, but the Adventure part of it is so good because of the environment/art design. Here's hoping FFXIV can hold me over till Beta

I couldn't figure out how to sprint on the vita.

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

Alpha is over. No point in living anymore.

lol

That one is so much better. It really says "this game is ginormous in scope". The backward helmet one screams "this is another shooter!"

 

[Marvel]

Dinklage needs to be on the front cover too, like in the corner somewhere with a Ghost hovering just above his hand whilst sitting in a high backed chair looking at you all serious yet aloof.

 

[ozprime]

Can we get a reversible cover art for Destiny?

The backwards facing helmet guy still looks terrible.

Why couldn't they have just used the Game Informer cover art...

Ugh. It's the special M.C. Escher Warlock. Whose retailer pre-sell bonus is that?

Seriously though, the alpha turned me from curious skeptic to convinced (with a copy reserved for the beta). Well done, Bungie.

Hope to see you all in a few months.

Speaking of The Tower

Please tell me these shots are in game and not concept art.

 

[Lucent]

Does the Xbox One even exist in Japan?

Not til September it seems.

 

[Twilight Gap]

But I guess you need to have a guy holding a gun on the cover.

I like how it gives it a mysterious feeling that an old school sci-fi novel would have.

But yea, people wouldn't know that's a shooter when placed on the shelf.

First shot is concept. Second is in engine.

First one is concept art, second one isn't.

The second one is taken from a vidoc if I recall correctly.

EDIT: Beaten by urk. :/

Really love this art so much.

 

[Lasty95]

Does anyone know about kill times?

Specifically, how many shots from the hand cannon (head vs body etc) and how many bursts from the rifles?

Has anyone worked out how they rank against each other?

 

[The Librarian]

First shot is concept. Second is in engine.

Both are all awesome.

3 191px × 2 296px

And you're not sure whether it's in-game or not?

 

[Ricker]

This thread might last till July 17th lol...

 

[ComputerMKII]

I'm so happy that you can actually get in the beta for free. I'm not ready to (pre-)order the game yet.

 

[broony]

Hey urk. Is there going to be any limited / collectors edition? I'm close to paying for a PSN pre order and don't want to waste my cash.

Is there a version of the top screenshot without the watermark (for desktop)?

 

[jimmypython]

People still have home phones?

Edit: And it really looks like you need a white PS4 to match your TV and Vita.

yep those phones are very reliable~~~~~


I was like holy s*** when they announced the white PS4.

[ShinMaruku]

I was wondering how I could deal with the withrdrawl and then Hayashi saves me, how are you guys passing the time? DOA5u has my full attention so I don't miss it I can wait.

 

[SockyJohnson]

So there are massive holes in the Traveller? I wonder if we will get the chance to see/go inside.

 

[Heratiki]

Damn your Vanishing Point...

 

[ComputerMKII]

I wonder how the Traveler does not affect gravity around it.

Maybe I worded it wrong. I meant to say that I hope the game ends up looking very close to the concept art, because there are some really good shots that I'd love to see in-engine like the second picture.
I'm amazed that they captured the depth and scale of the city in the Tower skybox, even though it looked a bit low-res in the alpha.

I think the last shot is in-engine, but aside from the slightly "muddier" feeling, it looks very close to the concept above it, which I'm assuming is where the "vault of glass", or this raid area is located:

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Did the Alpha display the Activision logo at all while booting up?

just a curious question on my part. I remember seeing BUNGIE

 

[MrBambinoDent]

Man this thread is full of emotions lol
Can't wait for the game though and like everyone else playing the alpha made my interest in the game doubles!

 

[Vire]

No Activision mention, thankfully. I'd like to forget that I'm giving money to Bobby Kotick.

I don't remember seeing it.

 

[Fushichou187]

I second this. This cover matches the minimalist/flat feeling of the interface, by the way, which is cool.

I think there will be plenty of good alt covers we'll be able to print out ahead of time and slip it in day one. Look forward to seeing GAFer contributions in the Custom Cover thread.

In fact I think I'm going in for a custom cover for all of my retail PS4 discs going forward-- barring some amazing cover art.

 

[Twilight Gap]

So there are massive holes in the Traveller? I wonder if we will get the chance to see/go inside.

I wonder if the Traveller replenishes itself. Unless it arrived at Earth with all those parts missing, I don't think an apparent "deity" would like being harvested for parts.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Glorious.

Also I just got my own Vita.

Congrats! What games did you get?

 

[DietRob]

Hey urk. Is there going to be any limited / collectors edition? I'm close to paying for a PSN pre order and don't want to waste my cash.

Yea, I'm curious about this too and not the 'get your ass to mars' april fools day collectors edition lol.

That picture is missing the bottom part though (same area as where the watermark is on the other one).

Upon reexamination it even appears to be the same picture, they just tried to cut of the watermark but left a small part of it on. lol

Oh yeah now i see it, but i think ist ok to cut the bottom part because there is nothing interesting anyway.

Here's hoping in game Mars looks half as badass as that concept art. Rolling sand dunes, glimmering in the light... I'm getting Journey flashbacks.

 

[jf DOOM]

Alpha was incredible. Just got an unexpected bonus at work so I preordered on PSN. Can't wait until Sept.

 

[Raven Prime]

True, but I assumed Dax01 was looking for the clean original, instead of a cropped picture. But seemingly she is happy with the one you found, so yeah..

Haha yeah but it's still a bit disappointing, because i can make a cropped version in MSPaint

 

[Lakitu]

Europa looks so nice. I'd love if we got to go there, even if it's DLC.
