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.

Tell me about it. It really sucks getting older and having gaming as a hobby.

This past week I totalled 4 hours for the entire week, 3 of those were last night because I stayed up until 2:30.

I've decided I am just going to wait until the retail version. I played it for about 45 minutes on Friday, really, really liked it, but do not want to take the risk of having to do everything all over again. I am fine with this. Got to check it out, seems to have lived up to the Hype and then some, so I am cool with waiting.

 

I actually still have 2 PS4's codes and I actually got 1 PS3 code now too. Sony sent some email about being part of Playstation Nation, not sure if that is an actual thing or just something made up for the email.  :laugh:

I hope the final game will have more content per planet.

The beta is fun, but other than the main story missions and the coop raid everything else feels a bit pointless. Shooting at stuff just because, that's only fun for a while even while doing those beacon side quests.

Its a beta...of course the full game will have more.

I know, I was just extrapolating from the current content density we have in the beta.

 

We'll get more planets, more story missions, more coop assault missions (or similar), events and raids... which is all good (great, actually) but I think it would be a shame if things like the free exploration mode remained as directionless as in the beta. If the beacon missions are all there'll be to "explore" then exploration is not all that enticing.

 

Add stuff that makes me want to spend a lot of time exploring (better yet if it's something somewhat random and not only collectibles you only have to find once, like the ghosts and the gold chests) and I'll be (even more) happy.

I love the music in this game. Very Star Trek Enterprise like.

Only thing I haven't figured out yet is if this is a shared world MMO type game how do you team up with other people? So far I've just been going through on my own and haven't even really seen any other people ? When you find people how to you Interact/talk? Certain bits seem nigh on impossible without a team

Been playing the beta on PS3 for a few days now. I really enjoy some aspects of the game's design especially how the environment blends with the menu system as you navigate through the map, reminds me of what made the original Mass Effect so great. While the controls are spot on I can't help but feel that I suck at the game just like every FPS I've played. If Destiny did come to the PC, I would like to try out KB/M.

 

I like the announcer in MP, he seems enthusiastic in a subtle serene way and it's a nice change from Halo.

The announcer sounds like Loki narrating a Deathmatch :D 

 

Also it's weird. The entire UI feels built for a mouse.

Hah he really does!

 

I do hope bungie has plans for a PC release in the future. I'm also surprised Nintendo isn't going after Activision to help bring this to the Wii U, they have a healthy relationship.

I must be blind but is MP accessible in the Beta? In the alpha I played MP but for the life of me can't figure it out in the Beta. I thought they might have taken it out to have people focus on the single player. Since this was my reasoning it got me to play the story quite a bit. The minute I discovered MP on the Alpha thats all I played, granted I played the alpha for 2 days because I was busy.

Sad part is I'm not even "old" yet. Age has nothing to do with it but like you, I'm finding myself being done with normal activities roughly 8-10pm. Then feeling like sitting back and relaxing but as soon as you do, gaming just happens to be far away from your mind at that point. Once your ready, its 12/1am and its like GAHH.

I just moved and bought a whole set of lazy boy furniture to make the "slumming" days the best while gaming and haven't spent more then 8 hours total in my chair / loveseat/recliner or on my ps4. I HATE BEING A GROWN UP. Im also in IT which sucks most of my day.

 

I hope things get better for us come around launch day because I'm taking a week off if they don't. Hope you can do the same. Whats your PSN ID? Going to add you so I have more people to play with

Multiplayer is locked until you complete the first couple of story missions I believe.

      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.
