- Joe on stage
- PlayStation 4
- Six players going to be on.
- Same area (Old Russia) as the Sony press conference
- Future Russia was fleeing to the stars because of vehement, "in your face" gays.
- He started narrating it like the E3 2004 Halo 2 demo. :P
- Darla/Starla(?) replaces Jason Jones as his partner. They're going to meet a "Josh" in a "little bit."
- Both Bungie employees are wearing Destiny faction shirts.
- The Ghost is out and about.
- "We always visit such cheerful places" - Ghost
- "Oh it looks even better up here" - Ghost
- That has to be Peter Dinklage < UPDATE: I'm a prophet
- Joe's aim is better today
- Joe used the knife against a Fallen troop
- Joe got a CRITICAL with his last revolver round. How? I dunno...
- Those reload animations are neato.
- Lots of magic use. Great effects.
- Archon Slayer killed Darla/Starla.
- RIXIS, ARCHON SLAYER enemy. Is "Rixis" his or her name?
- Grab dem lewts
- Viper and Duke are two weapon names.
- He's back to the Thunderlord. Undoubtedly will kill nothing. :P
- Darla/Starla has the long rifle.
- I like netting. Netting is cool.
- Joe is carrying three weapons. Assault rifle, revolver, and Thunderlord.
- Three rusted out Soviet-era/contemporary Russian tanks in the courtyard.
- TITAN SPACE MAGIC!
- Poor Russian starships :(
- Bungie does starship flyovers so well.
- God damn stream...
- Joe is much better with the Thunderlord.
- Attempting revivals in battle is an easy way to die.
- Devil Walker appears to have a main gun, four missiles mounted right of the turret, and a rotary cannon under the cockpit/forward section.
- Meh-ish cinematic trailer
- Pretty Guardian starfighter :)
- That's it, dudes.
- "We'll have more news in the months ahead." - Joe
- Few old faces playing this demo and a few new

There were parts of that voiceover where I could have sworn it was the person who voiced Col. Herzog in I Love Bees. And then there were other parts where it didn't sound that way at all. :)

I kind of suspected it was. Their goal isn't so much a truly authentic play-through as a demonstration of a lot of the basic game mechanics.

I remember when Ultima Online launched, they had a huge end of Beta event where Richard Garriot showed up, roleplaying his Lord British character.

He forgot to turn on his invulnerability flag and a player killed him.

Lots of other stuff was too. The first time they see enemies, then turn a corner, you'll notice the 2nd player launch the Red Matter (whatever it is) every time.

I also wouldn't be suprised if the 2nd player was a scripted bot. He seemed to be uncannily good at aiming with the "powered-up" orange-glow pistol shots.

Nah, they've just played it a lot. I've seen both the hunter and Staten miss HORRIBLY in some of the gameplay demos. Sometimes you can even catch Staten saying things that are nudging the other player it's basically "their cue"

Yeah it was interesting to where she did better or worse. Good to know that while some of it was scripted, it was still 7+? players up there having a great time together. Also by scripted, that player was merely doing things a certain way to demonstrate things like the red grenade or getting killed by the Slayer jumping out of the pipe.

What I love about it was how it showed how much it mattered how well you play. You can power up that pistol all you want, but you have to hit your mark to make it worth it.

Much respect Bungie, much respect.

I only caught a bit near the end but that was great. Just seeing the demo played again a little differently in a bit higher quality has me more amped than yesterday. I probably care a little too much about sound design, but it was nice to hear the game without all the nasty reverb of the Sony conference hall. All the little drippy splishy splashy water sounds as they're exiting the wall, the huge explosion in the distance as the Fallen ships drop out of hyperspace and come tearing overhead...awesome stuff.

Sony did.

Thanks for posting this!

Unfortunately, when I click Download on Dropbox, it seems like it completes the whole 165 MB download, but when I try to play it (using a variety of players), all I get is audio and a black screen. VLC and Adobe Premiere can't even open it at all. Using browser downloaders, I managed to grab a small version of the file at 640 x 342 resolution and 100 MB. Is this the biggest size available on the Dropbox link you posted? I'd like to get the highest res version possible. Thanks!

Honestly this is the first time I've tried it through Dropbox, it may be that Dropbox won't let public files over 100MB be downloaded. Streaming it seems to work okay, but I can't try downloading it because my work blocks Dropbox.

I'm having the same problem. I looked at the information VLC gives on what's playing and it said there wasn't a video component at all. When I try to watch it on Ustream or through your link it's kind of slow and jittery and the audio and video don't match up, which I think is because of my computer and its slowness (hence trying to download it). I'm still catching up on Destiny stuff and I'd like to see this in a watchable state... any thoughts, suggestions?

* There will be public places where anyone can join in your game or places where you are with your fireteam and no one else.
* Spaceship is primarily to get you from place to place but they don't have more to say about it yet
* Can't talk about PC, but wants to be on as many platforms as possible. Painful not being able to talk about it.
* Definitely will have plenty of cinematic gameplay but will also have bite size story pieces

From the Harold Ryan GI interview whether there are more classes "you'll have to wait and see." Hmm, wonder if they are testing other classes, or they are talking about advance classes, or if he's just pulling our chain.
