    Beta Information: http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-BETA---Early-2014/en/News/News?aid=11125

    Release Date: 9/9/2014
    Beta: Q1 2014
    Released On: PS3/PS4 and Xbox 360/1


    Gameplay Summary: Bungie has emphasized that the universe of Destiny will be "alive". Events may happen in-game that are not necessarily controlled or planned by the developer, which will help to create a dynamic developing experience for Bungie and a dynamic playing experience for gamers. The game's style has been described as an always-online first-person shooter that will incorporate massively multiplayer online game (MMO) elements, but Bungie has avoided defining Destiny as a traditional MMO game.Instead, the game has been referred to as a "shared-world shooter," as it lacks many of the characteristics of a traditional MMO game. For instance, rather than players being able to see and interact with all other players in the game or on a particular server—as is the case in many conventional MMO games—Destiny will include on-the-fly matchmaking that will allow players to see and interact only with other players with whom they are "matched" by the game.

    Story Summary: Destiny is set seven hundred years into the future in a post-apocalyptic setting following a prosperous period of exploration, peace and technological advancement known as the Golden Age. In a universe where humans have spread out and colonized planets in the Solar System, an event known as "the Collapse" saw the mysterious dissolution of these colonies, the end of the Golden Age, and mankind teetering on the brink of extinction. The only known survivors of the Collapse are those living on Earth, who were saved by "the Traveler", a white, spherical celestial body whose appearance centuries before had enabled humans to reach the stars. The Traveler now hovers above the last remaining human city, and its presence allows the "Guardians of the City"—the last defenders of the human race—the ability to wield an unknown power.
    Upon mankind's first attempt to repopulate and reconstruct after the Collapse, it is discovered that hostile alien races have occupied mankind's former colonies and civilizations and are now encroaching upon the City. The player takes on the role of a Guardian of the City, and is tasked with investigating and destroying these threats before humanity is completely wiped out.

    Questions for Xen:
    1. Who is interested?
    2. Of those who are interested PS or Xbox? (who owns new consoles, who is purchasing, and what is a ratios if there is one)?
    3. Who is in beta?

    Aside: It is likely that the PS3/PS4 accounts are linked to one another and share the same game world (like FF14:ARR). Currently we are unsure if Xbox works the same way.

    XOO Members Interested - PS/XBOX - BETA:
    PersonalRiot - PS4(yet to be purchased)/PS3(for sure) - YES
    Deadend - PS4 - ?
    haibane - PS4 - YES

    The fact this isn't on PC is a travesty.

    I'm getting it on PS4, I think. Even though I hate shooters on the PS3/4 controllers. :/

    Agreed. Might actually have to buy a console depending on how good this is.
