First impressions is that I'm really unimpressed with the graphics in the PS4 version. Seems like no antialiasing, very low res textures etc. I'm hoping it's because they were trying to keep the download size down they are keeping the high res textures for the official release because it seems like PS3 level graphics.

How'd you get it downloaded? I can't even log into PSN Store to download it. PS4 or Web

I did it right at 1PM EST and was able to get in before the rush.

 

Here is a screen capture of the PS3 stream.

I really hope that these are preliminary textures :P

That could be possible. The X1 beta isn't going to be 1080p because it isn't ready. Maybe the PS4 is the same.

Apparently, I was given three beta codes. My brother has his own, so I have two to give away. (PS4 version) PM me if you want one. (same rules as DL, you should have over 100 posts) The bungie site also specifies that the codes are for "Americas". So I don't know if they will work in Europe or the UK.

Well, it took a lot longer to get installed than I would have like but it was *SO* worth the wait!! 

I'm only about 20 minutes in but this is pretty much the perfect type of game for me

Definitely glad I pre-ordered now - Hell, I only got my PS4 for this game!

So I played a little bit of a beta tonight, and I have to say that the game improved so much since the alpha. The opening sequence drops a minor spoiler to kick off the story, and the pacing is damn near perfect. (the spoiler is known if you have been reading up on the game, but it's still cool to see it in-game)

 

They updated the Ghost voice which is immediately apparent, and it's much, much better now. It's still The Dink, but they added great syntethic/auto-tuned/geth-like filters to his voice over, and it sounds soooooo much better than the alpha version.

 

The graphics look marginally better than the alpha, which isn't a negative because the alpha looked phenomenal. The loads times are much better now too.

 

I turned up the volume when I start playing to get a feel for the audio, which is something I didn't do during the alpha, and I have to say it's just great. The battle music is like an industrial percussion, and fits Old Russia perfectly. I hope the battle music is different depending on where you are; because I'd love to hear a Venus or Mars themed soundtrack too. The gun sounds and ambient sounds are all top notch. Gunshot sounds are effected by your surroundings and noticeably echo when you're in a hallway vs outside. They also updated the NPCs in the tower to acknowledge your presence, which makes them seem more alive. It makes the tower experience much better.

 

I haven't played too much farther than the opening sequence, so I'm excited to see how the first couple of story missions go. Too bad I have to go to bed now. Stupid work in the morning...

Hopefully someone took care of addy, he hit me up for my code but I totally zoned out on the fact it was US only. He is in the UK.

I still have my US code for PS4.

I know there was a rumor progress might carry over from the Beta to the retail game. Did they confirm that or not?

I just cannot get into playing it if all the stats will be erased. Unfortunately my gaming time is very limited these days, so have to make it count.

 

I have a US PS4 code. First person with 100+ posts to PM me claims the prize.

 

Also, looking for some people to play with. Never used PSN on my PS3, so I don't have any PSN friends. :p

Are we friends on PSN yet? If not sent me an invite, and I will be glad to play once it counts. LOL

I've only read that they're thinking about it.

But to be honest you can't really make much of a progress. The beta, like the alpha, is again limited to lvl 8. There are only 4 or 5 story missions added and an additional PvP map I think. Haven't played that part yet.

I heard this rumor too and like you my time is very limited. I hate being an adult. That aside, I got to put a good solid 2 hours in and risked sleep this morning but it was well worth it. I miss Destiny since the minute I played the Alpha. Good news is Im getting Last of Us Remastered and hopefully that and Infamous (yup still playing it not done yet) will keep me busy till september.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.

      Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
