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.

Here is a Stream of the PS3 version, and TBH it looks horrible compared to the PS4 version

Sadly its the version i am buying because i borrowed a PS4 for the alpha.

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.

Hi guys - I know this is a lot to ask for as DeltaXray has already hooked me up with a code but a very good mate of mine is now asking for a code......could anyone of you kind Neowin folk help him out - he;s looking for a PS4 code and lives in the UK.

 

He & I would be very grateful if you could help out. Please PM me.

 

Thanks again

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.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
