Watching that IGN stream is really making me wish it was tomorrow.

I have been pretty ignorant of the development and features of Destiny, not really on purpose, but i'm watching that stream right now and holy poo poo it looks incredible. I'm really impressed by the extent of the customization and leveling, it really seems that they are doing a good job of implementing the rpg (and hopefully mmo, but that remains to be seen) features.

The quality of the menus, hud and general aesthetics also look amazing. This is bungie we are talking about though so I shouldn't be surprised. I'm so pumped for tomorrow

It's always been playable. Old Russia, Moon, and Mars have been heavily advertised as locations in the campaign.

Playable in the Beta, obviously.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
Confirmed 1080p for Xbox One, beta version is not of the June SDK branch so will be 900p or whatever it is now, IGN to provide 1080p Xbox One footage before beta.

IGN just showed another ghost location inside the Devil's Lair strike. I knew one (a room near the spider tank, maybe they will show it later).
Unfortunately I couldn't understand where that ghost was. (Near the room where you defend your ghost while he hacks some shields?).

Pre-ordered this awhile ago only really knowing it was made by the Halo people. Now that the beta is about to arrive I've been trying to hit up the wiki for information.

It hasn't been terribly helpful:

If you already have a "Destiny Beta" thing on your PS4 after having preordered through PSN, please specify what country you're in. As far as I'm aware, Americans aren't getting this benefit and this only applies to Australia and Europe.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it before, but I like that the mp has a little bit of an anti-camper mechanic. When you ADS, the mini-map disappears. So anyone hiding in a corner ADS at a doorway is opening themselves up to a surprise flank attack. Can't wait to see what mp modes the final game has. The icons from Alpha looked like a CTF mode, a DM/TDM mode, and the rest I couldn't really interpret.

And select Set As Playstation/Xbox Clan (see image below). I don't have the PS Clan option because I already set it

I already answered you in the old thread. You click into the SA group on Bungie.net and then it's an option along the top bar thing. You may need to do it on a computer, not sure if it's an option on the app / mobile.

I hope not but it might just be a midnight thing for those who were able to pre-load it from pre-ordering on PSN and the rest of us will have to wait for the email code rollout.

For people that preordered, we're all still stuck waiting for PSN to email out codes, correct? Or is the beta key on a digital receipt somewhere that I should be putting in on the Bungie site?

It looks like we're stuck waiting for Bungie to e-mail out codes or crashing their site by constantly refreshing our profile pages for the codes.

Did you preorder off PSN? If yes, you should have Destiny Beta in your PS Store library.

This is how it's supposed to work in Europe at least.

I hope this is true. Might be a good idea for them to send out codes, let PSN settle down some and then turn the servers on.

I do not believe it is working that way in the US, but I could be wrong.
