Destiny Music, Recorded from the Alpha

Oozer3993 visited with a pretty cool offering; he recorded as much music from the Alpha as he could (with minimal background noise). There are 15 pieces, some just fragments, some entire passages. All are worth hearing! He posted them on a filesharing site, but we've added a local mirror to his post, for ease of use. Zipped package is under 60 mb.

The Strength of the Pack

AnubisRex999 stopped in with a couple of images - the backgrounds are stock pictures (including a Bungie wallpaper), but the foregrounds are him. Pretty awesome Hunter cosplay! Check it out.

Anger, Sadness, and Envy Destiny Special: Multiplayer

Narcogen, Blackstar, and Cody Miller continue their look at the Destiny Alpha with Anger, Sadness and Envy Special: Destiny Alpha Part 5, focusing on The Crucible. Discussion revolves around how the various features of Destiny's multiplayer affect your actual gameplay experience. Go watch!

Bungie Store Reopens

The Bungie Store reopened recently - and Bungie has now pointed that out in a newspost on Bungie.net. No better time to pick up your Destiny-themed duds! (How come there's no male version of the House of Devils Tank? That's what I want to know!) Thanks, kidtsunami.

Destiny at E3 - The Angry Interview 2014

Angry Joe got some alone time with DeeJ at E3 this year - and asked a whole bunch of questions. Go see what he learned!

Guardians of Destiny: E3 Extravaganza

roland told us about the latest goodies from Guardian Radio - there's Episode 65 of their podcast, which is pretty interesting, all on its own... but there are also a whole passel of bonus videos, based on the crew's time at E3. (They were working the Bungie booth, helping fans and showgoers acclimate to the multiplayer content being shown off - they have some great stories to tell!) Check out the forum post for all the links. 

Anger, Sadness, and Envy Destiny Special: Exploration

Narcogen, Blackstar, and Cody Miller got back together for another segment of the Anger, Sadness, and Envy take on the Destiny Alpha; this time, it's a discussion of the Alpha's Exploration mode. Optimism and pessimism, all mixed into the same discussion! Go listen.

Follow the call of your heart.

2good4u2 mixed up some official footage with some Alpha footage, and set it all to... well, go listen.  (Watch it all the way through.)

Destiny Panoramas

DualShockers created a series of panoramic shots of Destiny environments - and they're beautiful. You should go look at them. Thanks again to Xenos for pointing them out.

A Vibrant Post-Apocalypse

Environment Artist Jason Sussman talked to GamesBeat about the art style for Destiny - it's a great piece! Reading his answers, I was reminded of the art style (and the rationale) behind Halo, back in the day - the vibrant colors, the conscious choice between 'bleak' and simply 'abandoned'. Go read! Thanks, Xenos.

Anger, Sadness, and Envy Special: Destiny Alpha

Over at Rampancy.net, the latest episode of Anger, Sadness, and Envy focuses on the Destiny Alpha; Cody Miller describes what he experienced, and answers questions for Narcogen and Blackstar. It's pretty interesting how much trouble he has getting his point across sometimes... it really does seem like it's hard to grok what Destiny brings to the table without actually playing it.

Destiny - PS exclusive in Japan?

kidtsunami noticed a Tweet from Mack MacDonald (Director at 8-4 Ltd., previously at Ziff Davis) that suggests that Destiny will be exclusive to Sony platforms (Playstation 3 and 4) in Japan - no Xbox versions at all. Whoa.

Interesting move from Sony / Activision @kazamatsuri: Destiny is exclusive to PlayStation 3 & PlayStation 4 in Japan. http://t.co/m2lnWExDLX

All I need is a glass of wine...

Also from Cody: a gorgeous video demonstrating the day/night cycle in the game. (This was already highlighted on our Twitter feed, but for those of our readers who frequent the front page, we wanted to show it off here.

Views from the Fans

If you didn't get a chance to play the Destiny Alpha (or even if you did!), several fans on our site have taken the time to write up their experiences, often including lots of screenshots. You can swing by and explore the perspectives:

• Cody Miller talked about the good, the bad, and the ugly, in the inimitable Cody style. (No pics, but he also stayed away from his tendency towards hyperbole - a refreshing change.)
• INSANEdrive only had a day with the Alpha, so he made the most of it.
• Xenos went for an in-depth look at the UI - great to see if you're wondering how info will be presented to you.
• Korny went screenshot-crazy, and got pretty in-depth with the gameplay analysis. (He liked what he saw, and it shows.)

While you're exploring personal opinions and screens, you might also want to poke your head into the Grimoire thread; it gives you a glimpse of some of the wealth of content you'll find outside the gameplay itself. Fascinating reading!

Android Preview (Today Only)

MrPadraig08 pointed out a tweet that announced that if you participated in the Alpha, AND you have an Android phone, you can check out a preview of the Destiny Companion App, just for today. (Hurry!) If you are lacking in any of those three requirements (date, gameplay, phone), you can check out some pictures of the app, courtesy of EffortlessFury.

Attention to Detail, Polished Combat

Eurogamer's Digital Foundry posted an extensive tech analysis of the Destiny Alpha - frame rate monitoring, graphics detail, a look at some of the background stuff... it's a great read. Check it out! Thanks, DaDerga.

All Good Things Must End

We'd like to apologize for the lack of timeliness - but you might have noticed some of your PS4 friends playing the Destiny Alpha today, even though it was supposed to end yesterday. Bungie pushed the deadline out a bit - this was tweeted at midnight last night:

There's a rumor that the #Destiny Alpha might be extended to allow dangerous experiments. Play beyond the official close at your own risk!

As of this writing, though, it's over:

Your mission in the Destiny Alpha is complete. Stay tuned to http://t.co/4ucwiEHvaJ for updates on your next adventure.

Mama Said Knock You Out

Gamecheat took one look at the Titan melee animation and immediately thought of the perfect song for his Destiny Alpha montage. Listen to the bass go BOOM!
