official Destiny

well its finished downloading now i have to wait till i get home to play it :(

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.

the alpha was gorgeous on the PS4 easily one of the best looking games i have ever played.

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

There is a reddit post with some comparison shots.

Anyone need a PS4 code? I have exactly 1. First person to PM me gets it. Have to have over 100 posts.

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!

One down, one to go. Enjoy Mandosis!

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.

[DeltaXray]

Yep Addy has one from me.

All my codes are gone now.

[ady199]

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 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

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

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'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.
