According to Gamesradar, PlayStation will get 4 days of exclusive Destiny Beta access before those on Xbox. What do you think? Destiny Beta is set for July and dates will be confirmed at E3. This is unconfirmed information but appears to be pretty legitimate.

Hello everyone Chief here back yet again with some breaking Destiny news. During Spike TV’s Video Game Award show, now known as VGX a relatively new gameplay trailer was revealed. It’s a little unfortunate seeing old footage again but there are some beautiful new looks intermittently throughout the video. Bungie is a master at teasing us. It would have been nice to have seen the HUD during some of these scenes – which always provides further juicy details.
Within this trailer we get some great (and relatively brief) new looks at the pike vehicle, competitive multiplayer, some guardian supers in action, and fireteams facing off against the many enemies within Destiny – The Vex, Cabal, The Fallen with on of them at the receiving end of a throwing knife, and the Hive. Also including more angles of Phogoth – the Hive boss and another unknown floating Hive enemy that the community has dubbed the “Hive Queen”.
Most of the footage however is old or just new angles of previously seen footage. Bungie is definitely knows how to make their viewers beg for more.

Official Destiny Gameplay Trailer: The Moon & Public Beta Confirmed!
Today I have for you another official destiny gameplay trailer that takes place on our moon. We get to see more footage of the Hive – which is one of the four enemy races in Destiny. The Hive are space like zombies and according to the trailer have resided for centuries within the depths of the moons core. In this trailer get to see what appears to be 4 classes of Hive, but I’ll break it down later this week.
Bungie and Activision have confirmed a public beta for Destiny sometime in Spring 2014. This is the date for the beta, not the game’s release – which will be sometime after the beta in 2014. The beta will be open to all 4 platforms: Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, and PS3. The beta is open to anyone who has pre-ordered the game from participating retailers – so check your receipts if you purchase after October 1st, if not your retailer should be contacting you soon.
From IGN article:
The public beta of Destiny scheduled to begin early next year will be treated by Bungie as if it were a “full product launch,” according to the developer’s community manager, Eric Osborne.
“The Destiny beta, in many ways, is being treated like a full product launch. We can’t just carve out three competitive multiplayer maps this time around,” Osborne told GameSpot, referring to Bungie’s past beta tests with Halo 3 and Halo Reach. “We’d only be gathering data on one facet of the overall experience — one that is arguably the least resource intensive and most well understood by our team. Destiny demands more.”
Defend our home. Defeat our enemies. Become Legend. Pre-order Destiny now to get access to the Beta: http://www.destinythegame.com/wheretobuy.
From the creators of Halo and the company that brought you Call of Duty, comes Destiny, an epic adventure unlike anything players have experienced.

A trio of Bungie artists sits down to deliver running commentary about Destiny’s E3 Gameplay reveal.
Your Fireteam for this mission will be three of the artists who led the charge to build that brave new world. Experience the adventure that unfolded at E3 through their eyes, and get to know some of the people who are making this game.
They are:
Ryan Ellis, Technical Art Director
Marke Pedersen, Environment Art Lead
Michael Zak, Senior Art LeadAt E3, they were members of our away team. Had you scored a seat as a member of our audience, you would have seen them showing off their work (and the work of their fearless peers) to the world. Now, they’re dishing out commentary on those first steps taken by Guardians into the world they helped to create.

Instead of the usual one day festivities that take place on Bungie Day, July 7th – the 7th day of the 7th month… they love the number 7. Bungie has decided to celebrate with Bungie Week.
Day 1: They announced some new avatars and profile signatures on bungie.net to show the world your loyalty and years spent prowling the forums.
Day 2: Is where we are right now. After many requests Bungie has decided to reproduce their E3 Gameplay demo in 1080p high definition quality. Many E3 live stream viewers were treated to pixelated and sub-par HD quality and the broadcast was plagued with video and audio difficulties.
In this version, the fireteam follow the same paths with new commentary and minor differences, but otherwise the same gameplay we have seen before – just without any hiccups.
As a result my analysis of this demo still stands as is. Click here to watch it.
Enjoy
