ExtraLife Guardians to the Rescue

DeeJ put the spotlight on the Destiny Community's Extra Life campaign, taking a quick moment to ask Mark of Guardian Radio for the details. Check out the article at Bungie.net, but above all else make sure to stop by the Extra Life page to see how you can help raise money for a worthy cause!

Destiny Updates Goes Lunatic

Destiny Updates has taken his time with The Moon trailer from earlier this month, and it paid off. I learned a few things, that's for sure.

Thanks for posting it on on our forums, Mr. Updates.

Investing Heavily In An Ambitious Studio

We missed this earlier, but last week Edge interviewed Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg and it's no surprise that Destiny was a popular topic in the conversation. Check out the full article to get a little more insight into the relationship between the publishing company and Bungie!

Community Focus: Destiny Dispatch

An article of skill most sublime, this came in just in time,

For if we do not have a post for every day, all that was good in this website will fall away.

So let us thank Deej for pointing it out, in these days of Destiny drought,

As well as this poet for lyrics so sweet, that the reader must be sitting upon the edge of their seat.

Though, if tomorrow you do not hear from me a peep... Claude has likely strangled me in my sleep.

New Footage Breakdown

aPolishKorean did his own analysis of the Community Thank You video Bungie released on Wednesday - he gets credit for a super-fast turnaround, and there are a number of tidbits he noticed that you may have missed. Go watch!

Destiny Updates Takes a Gander at the Thank You Vid

Destiny Updates continues their in-depth analysis with their microscope aimed at yesterday's Community Thank You video. Teleporting, energy knives, and more insanity. I feel like we've seen more of how Destiny really plays in yesterday's quick glimpse than ever before.

Edge Interviews Chris Barrett

Edge published an interview with Bungie's art director Chris Barrett about building a living breathing world filled with story and history. Chris talks about iteration, influences and striking a balance between a believable but idealized universe. (Thanks, Xenos.)

Looking Into the Wild

The recently-released Bungie ViDoc, Out Here in the Wild, has been pored over carefully by a couple of different sites - Rampancy.net devoted episode 54 of its Anger, Sadness, and Envy podcast to the task, while Destiny Updates spent nearly half an hour looking at every detail. Watch 'em both!

Stepping through, frame by frame

Greenskull, from ReadyUpLive, has already released an analysis video of the Out Here in the Wild ViDoc - watch it to see if you've missed anything!

Great Expectations

Xenos pointed out a short blurb on CVG that highlights two quotes from Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg, who mentioned Destiny during an Activision-Blizzard earnings call earlier today:

We strongly believe we are on pace to set the all-time pre-order record for a new IP. [...] Based on what we've seen we believe that Destiny has the potential to become the third active billion dollar franchise in the Activision Publishing portfolio.

Whoa. Hopefully Activision remembers to be nice to the goose!

Bungie Week: E3 Commentary

Bungie Week just keeps on giving! There's a new video up on Bungie.net today, titled Destiny: Building the E3 Reveal. Join Bungie vets Ryan Ellis, Marke Pedersen, and Michael Zak as they watch the E3 gameplay reveal and discuss the visuals and gameplay in next year's highly-anticipated avian simulator! There are certainly a few new tidbits in here, so be sure to keep your ears open! (Thanks, Mid7night)

Uncovering the Past

Ragashingo decided to do a frame by frame analysis of the Destiny E3 demo - he provides a great deal of interesting speculation regarding story and gameplay. Join in on the conversation!

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.

G'day, Guardians

Australian gaming site AusGamers recently interviewed Chris Butcher, a former New Zealand resident we now know as the Engineering Lead at Bungie; the resulting transcript is chock-full of exciting details about Destiny. I get the feeling this article will spawn a wave of discussion on our forum, since Xenos has already kicked things off with a thread highlighting his favorite quotes. Read the AusGamers interview, then speculate away!

Destiny Updates: E3 Trailer Analysis

Destiny Updates stopped by our forum to announce his analysis of the E3 Gameplay Trailer - he walks through the trailer and points out all sorts of details you may have missed (I know I certainly missed a few). Go watch - and see what speculation inspires YOUR imagination!

Activision believes, invests, and competes.

Andrew Goldfarb over at IGN has posted a short interview with Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg that gives us this tantalizing quote about Destiny:

It’s a sizeable investment. It’s probably one of the biggest investments in a new IP that’s ever been made in this industry. We wouldn’t be making that investment if we didn’t believe in the potential.

Exciting words for Bungie fans. Check out the full article for Hirshberg's thoughts on how Destiny and Call of Duty will (or won't) compete with each other for an audience.

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.

Poseable Devil Walkers in every Happy Meal

Polygon has posted a short report on Activision's presence at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas and the last paragraph provides an amusing juxtaposition:

This year the company pulled off the golden dream of all licensing agents, a Happy Meal deal with fast-food giant McDonalds. Activision says its big priority for the coming year is tying up some deals for its new franchise, Destiny.

Obviously the two sentences are unrelated, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Hamburglar outclassed by the might of a Fallen captain. What kind of licensing deals will we see emerge from the Destiny universe?

Joystiq Interviews Chris Butcher

Joystiq's Alexander Sliwinski posted an video interview with Chris Butcher, engineering lead at Bungie, about game concepts and how the social components of Destiny work. Check it out!

DestinyHub breaks down the demo

The folks over at DestinyHub have posted a fantastic scene-by-scene analysis of the E3 demo that points out a lot of interesting details and provides some thought-provoking speculation. It's a lengthy article with a ton of screengrabs; give it a read!

Strong and Safe

TTL Demag0gue took an overarching look at the Law of the Jungle trailer, and shared his thoughts, written from a storyteller's perspective. Swing by Destiny Guardian to read them!

Can Kipling Sell Video Games?

Iron Jean has an interesting article musing about the use of classical British literature to sell a video game - it's a wonderful read. Long-time Bungie fans will realize that this is nothing new for them - but as their cachet grows, so does the pool of people who notice. Thanks to Kermit for the heads-up.

Spider Tank Battle

twistedmetal shared a piece of Destiny fan art titled Spider Tank Battle, it depicts a group of Gaurdians fighting against the Cabal and some, you guessed it, Spider Tanks. He's looking for some community feedback - I don't really have any comments other than how amazing it is (I wish I could draw.) Check it out!
