Digital Foundry Hammers on Destiny

Eurogamer's Digital Foundry ran the Destiny E3 demo through their standard framerate test, and found that "even at this early, pre-production phase, overall performance is tight." Beyond just the framerate, though, they liked what they saw - go read the whole review! Thanks, broony.

How many BungieDays are in a BungieWeek?

Everyone's favorite summer holiday is swiftly approaching: that cherished time of year when you can grab a nice, frosty beverage from cold storage, grill up a spectacular steak or two, and laugh maniacally as a giant slingshot hurls your enemies into the sun. Yes, I'm talking about Bungie Day - July 7th. IGN's Ryan McCaffrey certainly seems excited, and the official Bungie twitter account has been alluding to an entire week of celebration! If you're not Twitter-savvy (I'm looking at you, Claude), check out this thread on our forum for a quick compilation of details and rumors.

Wake me in seven days

Today might have been light on Destiny news, but fear not, for Bungie Day is only a week away. What wonders await us on the seventh day of the seventh month? If you care to speculate, kidtsunami has a fun thread for you, or we can all just pass the time by staring at this awesome new sketch Levi made of "that guy from the trailer". (Click for full-size.)

Going Bigger

Let's catch up on some interesting Destiny press - first up, Digital Trends wrote an article called 'Destiny may actually be as good as you hope it is'. (It came out during E3, but we missed it, and it's a really nice summary of what we might expect, and why there's reason to trust what we haven't seen yet.) Give it a read!

DBO Interviews Chris Butcher - Plus Bungie Loves You!

We sat down with Chris Butcher during the madness of E3 and asked a bunch of questions that were burning holes in our pockets (and our brains). He answered a lot of them. (Forgive us for the camera focus; our second unit had issues.) Go check it out - and then swing by our forum... if you have further questions, you might just find answers!

The Art of Ryan DeMita

Bungie artist Ryan DeMita scored a spotlight at Kotaku today - swing by to see some awesome Destiny art (along with Reach art). There are also links to his personal site and his CGHub page, if you want to continue to explore. Nice! Thanks, INSANEdrive.

Digital Foundry Frame-Rate Test

Digitial Foundry posted a video analysis of the Destiny E3 gameplay demo - looks like the game is running at a locked 30fps. That's pretty impressive considering the scale of the game.

Sometimes, they make your heart swell.

Bungie's not just a company that makes killer games - they also take care of gamers in ways that simply brighten my day. Swing by Bungie.net today to read about how Bungie is easing the pain at Seattle Children's Teen Center. It's not Destiny-related... but it's one of the many reasons I love these guys.

We Are Guardians

UncookedMoa wanted to share their fan-made Destiny trailer, "We Are Guardians", featuring "Final Hour" by X-Ray Dog. I think the result is pretty slick! Check it out!

Wrapping up E3? Bork, Bork, Bork!

Looks like we spoke a touch too soon, as Bungie also put up "That's a Wrap", capping off their E3 recap series. Go enjoy! I know the DBO community is especially thankful for all the magic that Bungie provided the world over this past week. Can't thank them enough, and couldn't be more excited to await our Destinies...

So a Warlock and a Titan Walk Into a Bar...

Bungie has put up their E3 Day 3 recap video. Go and check out SPACE MAGIC!

DeeJ's Video Tricornucopia

The ever-darling DeeJ has seen fit to bestow upon our awaiting earballs and eyeholes a minor trilogy of video featurettes chronicling the early goings of E3 setup and facilitation. Take a look at Booth, Press Rooms, and Rehearsal. May the Vanguard watch over you with vigilance and mercy as you view them.

When you fish upon the stars

When Hedge is excited, the birds fly lighter, the tides rise higher, the chocolate tastes sweeter, the kiss lasts longer, the love grows stronger. When Hedge is excited, we are excited.

It was the sack before E3, and all through the house

DeeJ wanted to let us all in on a mission ever-so delicate. Join him on a magical journey through time and space, a journey that will come to a slingshotting head this Monday at E3. The end - nay, the beginning, is extremely nigh.

Lightning in a Bottle

Eric Osborne talked to MCV recently - you can read a small excerpt in this promo piece, or you can grab a digital copy (for £1.99) from their website. And you can also read an article written by the brother of a Bungie fan - one that uses Destiny as an example to help to explain why sites like this one exist. Great stuff!

Doing the PR Dance

IGN contacted a bunch of game developers to ask them what they thought about the Xbox One. Eric 'Urk' Osborne responded from Bungie - and oddly enough, his response references Sony more prominently than Microsoft. I guess you can interpret this to mean that Bungie views the next generation as the next generation (rather than as individual consoles)... or maybe it's just that MS hasn't really involved Bungie in its rollout of the new platform. It'll be interesting to see how front-and-center Destiny is in the upcoming Xbox One promotional PR. If you have input on this, Mr Daax (who initially brought this article to our attention) kicked off a thread on our forum - chime in!

The Nexus is the DestYnation

samurai let us know that German fansite DestYnation is hosting a giveaway for German residents - top prize is a Nexus 7 tablet with Destiny branding. Awesome! Swing by to see how you can get in on the action. (Remember, you must be a resident of Germany.)

And the strength of the mail is in the sack

New mailsack. Go read it. Your cries for love and answers fall not on deaf ears, but on eager fingers. Go see what they type for you.

One Destiny

With the recent unveiling of the new Xbox One console from Microsoft, Bungie confirmed that Destiny will indeed be launching on four platforms: Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, and PS3. Not surprising, but still great to hear confirmed!

Secrets of the bungie mobile app

Bungie Mobile App users were recently greeted with a bug fix update for Android and iOS devices - some users discovered that they now had the ability to read and post on the Bungie.net forums directly from the app. According to DeeJ, a small group of frequent forum users have been granted access to the test version of the mobile Bungie.net forums. Don't worry, the update will continue to rollout to more users, eventually. Thanks, Xenos.

Brewing a new buzz at Bungie

Over at Buzzfeed, Community Contributor HefferBrew put up a great piece about Destiny on their "Things We're Stoked For" feature. It's a great read and a passionate look at what one author hopes will be a new evolution in online gaming experiences. Definitely go and check it out!

Sack up and ship out

Bungie has sounded the horn and put out the call for the latest Mail Sack. Heed its instructions and release your queries!

Our Destiny Becomes Just a Bit Clearer
