As I said I would I am here. And I am waiting to learn what Destiny has in store for PS4.
Join me - as we wait to learn, and after doing so - Gush about it excessively.
Speak to you all soon. :)

I know it should be flattering that they make you watch most of the stream to get to Bungie stuff, but I'm losing my tolerance for it. You're not going to subvert my Bungie love into becoming a Cris Angel fan, I don't care if his magic is in space!

The trailer was pretty short. It showed one of each class, each with a Ghost. I think some Vex teleported in with a shimmer of blue light. Dispatched. Then fighting some big guy down a narrow hallway (bad connection, couldn't tell what he was). Later it showed the big guy with the chains. The three fought some Cabal, it almost looked like the players jumped over the enemies. The hunter destroyed a Cabal with Golden Gun.
It looked good--really fast cuts--there was a lot of content in a short amount of time.
Looks sweet.

It was exciting to see the Cabal - haven't seen them much in-game.
I think the Moon still might be the place I'm most excited to visit.

Looks fantastic. Really quick cuts on the trailer, I guess that's what the kids like these days?
Not too much new stuff. Definitely not worth me staying up for. (although community game night took care of that. lol)
Im a little disappointed in the early beta access. I doubt that is something that will "move" systems for Sony, and the longer the beta the more info you get for each system... I guess I'm not too worried about it, just wanna see some love thrown to the xbox community too!

It sucks others will get a chance at it before I do, but I actually found it relieving. I hope early-access, or things like it, defines the 'exclusivity' Destiny deals out and not actual game-content for the future. I'm fine with waiting as long as I get the same game.

I'm fine with that. I should really wait to hear more (maybe next week at the XBO launch) it just seems like for a "beta" whose sole purpose is to test the game why would you limit two of your systems test times. Unless the beta is going to be like a month long, in which your going to have plenty of time anyways. If that's the case then I'm fine with PS Nation getting an extra 5 days or so. We just haven't been given those details... So why am I worried?

I guess I'm not. Just had to talk myself through it! Thanks Levi! lol

Bungie already said a long time ago that Playstation players are getting exclusive game content. So get used to disappointment I guess.

You kidding? All it means is that others will get to be Guinea Pigs first. In fact Its probably so that they can have a few more days of net code testing for the PS3 and Ps4 since they have much less experience with Sonys stuff.
Exclusivity? HA! Weak. Its all marketing...more so then usual. Delicious.
Again - I can't speak enough on how much this pleases me considering anything else would not be Bungies traditional style.
Then again... it doesn't mean they won't change such a style in the future. :/

There is a good chance that they actually need to control the speed of the beta rollout to ensure their servers can handle the load anyway, so I guess it works out. That way we don't get access to the beta only to not be able to play for a week while they fix servers. :P

I'm buying an Xbox One.
Do I cash in my beta code on my old, decrepit PS3 and get early access?
Or do I wait until the beta is available on Xbox One?
If I reserve the game twice, can I cash in two codes and transfer my beta character across platforms?
Time* will tell.

Do a hunter on ps3, do a warlock on xbone. Wave at titans on both platforms as you take care of business.

It's more than mildly annoying to me, though I am loathe to admit it. I can't help but feel left behind a bit by Bungie. I've been an extremely loyal fan for over 10 years and (not coincidentally) lean XBox and XBox One.
I feel a bit like a 2nd class citizen, like Bungie prefers the other gamer with the Playstation. One might draw the conclusion that since their primary intent is to serve Playstation first, XBox customers will be a secondary concern.
If there is an incentive to provide early access and content exclusives, why wouldn't there be incentive to prioritize functionality and service?
Likely not their intent, but still, it's leaving a funny taste in my mouth. It's getting harder to suppress my disappointment.

I suppose it's different for me since I don't care when I play a game as long as I actually get to play it (and I'll likely be doing so with Destiny on a 360), but to me, nothing they've revealed for Sony so far seems like too big of a deal.
Having been a decade exclusive to Microsoft, I can totally understand trying to throw a few friendly gestures at Playstation-only gamers who never gave much thought to Halo or to Bungie at all since ONI. That's a pretty big gap to bridge.

The beta is a big deal. I don't care much about different skins, or equipment to start, or even some content. The beta is a very significant, more so than would seem necessary.
I understand the reaching out to Sony people...absolutely. Bungie presents at their show, packages a few exclusives, prefaces their advertisements with the PS logo, whatever. However...gamers as a lot are very interested in being first; brand-new, cutting edge experiences are precious and extremely valuable. Especially so considering this is the first new Bungie IP in 10+ years. Making the beta a timed-exclusive is pretty serious in my opinion.
I know some here have talked about finding an old PS3 for the beta, or perhaps tilting PS4 for the beta. For me, who will absolutely be getting an XBox One...it has a very adverse effect. It makes me mad to be sent to the back of the line, even though all I've ever wanted to do is buy and play their games. I'm...what, just a casualty in the larger console war or something. Does that make me a pawn? Fodder?
Let me try to clarify my thoughts: Bungie is an extremely well-known and successful AAA game developer. They needed to reach out to their new potential customers on Playstations, and have done so in high profile presentations at E3 and subsequent events. I don't think it is likely that PS owners will be unaware of Bungie and their product at release. I expect as a game developer, Bungie should simply want to sell as many games as possible, regardless of platform. Some exclusivity for the purposes of courting new customers is understandable; the beta exclusivity suggests to me a bias. A bias suggests (potentially) differences in function and service.
Am I stretching? Maybe, we'll see. But this is how I feel in the moment.

Can't say I don't understand where you're coming from. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed to some degree. As Paddy said earlier, I've missed out on PS3 exclusives for so long, this finally gives me a reason to pull the trigger on a used PS3. So one can only complain so much. I'll still be able to play it on my console of choice in the end. I'm just hoping the gap between PSN and XBL players entering the beta is limited to a week or two.
From a technical perspective, it's the first time a Bungie game has been made available on PSN. There may be logistical and engineering considerations that we can't see from armchair distances.

In the grand scheme of things it won't matter much. But in the short term, as the Beta fires up, it will be me, the decade+ long loyal Bungie fan who gets to sit on the sideline and watch. :/ Surely it's just politics and publishers and money changing hands and crap, but it's still crap. Most timed exclusives are.

Imagine how you would feel if Bungie was the darling developer for your favorite platform, and then announced they were moving to be an exclusive on a platform that didn't exist yet, and could not say that they would ever support your platform of choice again.
Party like it's 2000!
It's hard for me to get too upset.
The main reason why I'm thinking of the PS3 is because I think they'll be really cheap, there are some games I want to play, I need a blu-ray player, and I was thinking it'd be neat to try the beta on two platforms.
I also know myself. When the Halo 3 beta came out, I didn't have a 360. I was so sad and pathetic that a friend (who wasn't a big Halo fan) loaned me his for a week. I might not be that sad having to wait for the beta instead of being shut out completely, but I can be pretty irrational about Bungie. I admit it.

That doesn't take much imagination :) There was a reason I didn't have Halo at launch. Though I've realized life is too short to have my feelings short over things that aren't a big deal.

…because I've been thinking it all through this thread. :) The current situation is completely different but there is certainly that vibe of yesteryear.
Separate from load-ramping techniques or PlayStation system analysis concerns, I can think of a very quick fix for the 'abandoning our strongest supporters' problem: Let Bungie.net users with 6+ years have early access, independent of their platform of choice. Done.
I don't plan on picking up a PS4 until the Destiny-specific hardware ships (assuming that's still a thing), so does that make me less of a fan than those who buy PS4s now? I don't know, it's just sort of weird.
I can guarantee one thing, though: I will not sully my first experience with Destiny on those damn DualShock 3 controllers. Not worth it. I'd rather wait for the Xbox version than play on my PS3.

This.
Not to mention the fact that I have a whopping two friends on PSN, and any new ones I add at this point will most likely be playing on PS4.

They could graduate it based on tenure so the 5 year old accounts don't feel so left out.
Glad someone said it…

Separate from load-ramping techniques or PlayStation system analysis concerns, I can think of a very quick fix for the 'abandoning our strongest supporters' problem: Let Bungie.net users with 6+ years have early access, independent of their platform of choice. Done.

I've had to recreate my account more than once since Myth II. Guess I'm screwed. :P

A few things:
- I haven't been on bungie.net as long as you. Why should I get penalized for that? Years on b.net--any value--is a completely arbitrary metric.
- From an engineering standpoint, rolling out the demo with a focus on two systems (PS3/4) at a time is much easier than focusing on four systems at the same time. Easier & faster to handle & respond to any potential problems, spread the workload, capture and analyze data.
- Allowing an incredibly small subset of players access to the demo from another system would take way more work than it would be worth--remember, they're not actually making money off the demo, probably losing some overall. Granted, they'll hopefully get some good data and experience out of it, but the beta is effectively f2p.
- Anyone here try to play GTA Online when it first came out? It wouldn't work at all for me for the first 1-2 weeks. Not saying I want that to happen to the PS players, but if it does... well, as they say, thanks for beta testing the beta for me.
- Finally, and this isn't what people want to hear, but if you really want first access to the beta, you could just get a PS3/4. Not everyone has money or wants to buy them, but the option is there.
